Arielle POV

I don't know if  dreaming or what, but what I'm experiencing is very weird to say the least. Last thing I remember I was being taken into the hospital and I blacked out. Now I feel ghostly. I'm in a hospital room right now, my hospital room. I-my real body- is laying down on a hospital bed looking sickly and fragile.

How can I see this? Am I dead? It feels like I'm watching my life from someone else's body.

Just then, Louis comes into the room

"Louis" I say, but he doesn't hear me or look at me. I put my hand on his shoulder and he seems slightly taken aback, but that expression leaves his face as quick as it came.

He walks over to a small couch that's next to my bed and sits. Then he pulls out a notepad and pen and begins to write something down.

I peer over his shoulder to get a look at what he's writing

Ari,
It's been one day without hearing your laugh. One day since I saw you smile. I don't know what I feel right now. Empty is the first word that comes to mind. I've never felt this way before, I don't know how to handle the feeling. I'm writing down everything I feel because I don't know what else to do. I'm scared Ari. Scared that you're not gonna make it. I know I shouldn't be thinking those things but I can't help it. I don't know what I'd do with myself if I didn't have you. I fell so guilty Ari. I blame myself for this, all of it. I was going to

"Hey Louis"

Both my head and Lou's shot up at the sound of this voice. I look up and see Liam. Ugg Liam why'd you have to interrupt! You were going to what Louis?

"Hey Liam" Louis said with a distant look in his eyes

"How is she?"

"Honestly Liam, I don't know. The doctors said that t-there's swell-swelling in her brain a-and that she might not.." Louis said while his voice stuttered and tears welled in his eyes.

"She might not make it Liam" said as the tears streamed down his face and his eyes turned puffy and bloodshot

"And how are you doing Louis?"

"I'm terrified Liam. Even if she survives, I don't know if I will. Every time I look down at her lying limp and lifeless in that hospital bed with tubes and wires attached to her.. I can't help but blame myself"

Louis it's not your fault. I say but I know he can't hear me.

"Louis, why would you even think that this is your fault? It was a drunk driver"

"But Liam, y-you don't understand. She was on her way to meet with me, I was g-gonna.."

Just then a doctor came in the room. You've got to be kidding me...interrupted again. You were gonna what?!

"Sorry to interrupt boys, just came by to check up on her"

"No you're fine, do your thing" Louis said while wiping his tears and trying to regain composure

After the doctor left, Liam and Louis started talking again.

"Liam, your shirt."

"What about it Louis?"

"Y-you wore that. The day you introduced me to Ari that night out."

"Oh, I guess I did." Said a dumbfounded Liam as he looked down at the white t- shirt with light blue trim
