Burn

Chapter Six

*Nicks POV*

School had finally been over, and all I could think about was Azaria... Yes I know my best friend is missing, but I had been wanting to get something off my chest for a while now but I hadn't had the time to do because of all this shit that's going on with Lyssa. "FUCK!" I screamed loudly in my head. If only I told her years ago. All these feelings are suddenly rushing to me and I don't know how to take. I'd have to leave before Azaria would come to locker. I quickly grabbed my backpack and scurried for the double doors. Where the hell were my keys, I swear I lose everything at the wrong time. I finally found my keys and ran to my car, why couldn't I just get out of this place already. 

As I was leaving out the entrance I had happened to see Azaria leaving out the school building... She had been looking for me, I could tell. She always had this retarded blank stare when she couldn't find something. This was the last thing I needed, to see her perfect face after realizing how much I've been in love with her since we were kids. I finally reached home and threw my bag on the floor and went to the kitchen. I had saw my mom at the table, she looked like something was bothering her. "Mom what's wrong?" I said as I pulled up a chair beside her and began to drink my juice. "Lyssa's mom called.. she said that she hadn't come home yet." I was about to lose my mind but then I had to think. Lyssa could be anywhere right now.. she's probably out with her stupid teacher that she likes so much, but then again what if she really was missing.. then what would we do then. "Is she sure?" I said in a worried tone, "she might just be out considering school just let out like what a half an hour ago." My mom looked like she was about to burst out crying. "She said she hasn't answered any of her phone calls, and she called the school and they said she had been absent in all her classes after first period." she said to me. I had began to see the tears streaming down her face. I was just as hurt as she was, after all Lyssa is my best friend.

*Azaria's POV* 

After last period I had raced to my locker to see if Lyssa had reappeared but she wasn't there.. I went up and down the hall to check for her but there was no sight of her. Where the hell could this chick be?! I had went back to my locker to see if Nick had seen her but of coarse he wasn't there. What the fuck is this, abandon Azaria day. Fucking pricks. By now I had been pissed, is this some kind of joke? Maybe I'm overreacting. Lyssa could've got picked up early and well I don't really know about Nick he's never not been at the locker after school. He's usually always here waiting for me. Oh well, I grabbed my books and headed for the front doors of the school. As soon as I walked out I noticed Nick's car pulling out the parking lot. What the hell is his deal. I wanted to get mad about it but before I could my phone rang. It was my dad. What could he be calling me for? He never calls unless it's an emergency or he wants me to run errands. "Hello.. Dad?" I said Curiously. "Hey Sweetheart, I need you to come home immediatelty after school.. I have some news that you won't be too happy about." he said back. He sounds down and he never called me sweetheart. What. Is. Going. On.

I ran home as fast I could I needed to know what this was about, I'm really worried. I ran through door and saw my dad sitting on the couch in the family room. I quickly slipped my shoes off and placed them in front of the door then took a seat next to him. "Hi dad, what do you need to talk to me about?" "Azaria.. It's mom. She's been in a terrible accident." He said to me. Tears struck down my face so fast, they couldn't be controlled. "W-what do you mean, why didn't you get me from school.. why are we here and not at the hospital?! I yelled at him. At this point I felt like all air was escaping from my lungs and my chest was caving in. The only thing that came to my mind was panic. Why had all of this been happening to me in one day. "I wanted to wait till you were out of school, I didn't want you to worry." He said placing his arm on my shoulder. I threw his arm off me instantly, it wasn't comforting. "My mother is probably laying on her death bed and you wanted to wait?!.. what kind of father are you." I screamed at him. I probably didn't mean all that I said but I was furious and hurt at this point and I just wanted to see my mom. "Can we just get the fuck out of here to go see your mother." He said. The was best idea i've heard all day. I can't believe this man had my mother at the hospital alone because he didn't want me to worry. She's the closest person to me the one I told everything to.. the one that lended me a shoulder when I need someone to cry on. The woman that carried me in her stomach for nine whole months. She could be gone and this bastard didn't want me to worry. We ran out to the car as fast as we could, dropping literally everything. I had no shoes on, no phone no anything, I just left. The way to the hospital was an awakward car ride. I was tuning in and out, I couldn't really process anything at the moment. My life was a blur.

As if things couldn't get any worse. There was a cop behind us and dad wasn't exactly going at the right speed limit. Of coarse we were panicking, my moms in the hospital for Gods sake. In an instant dad pulled over, there was no point in making this something bigger than it had to be. We would just get our ticket so we can be on our way to mom. It had been two officers in the car and they inched around our car flashing their high beam flashlights in the back seat. Since it was daylight savings it did get dark earlier so I guess it was their way of ensuring we didn't have a dead body in the back seat. "Sir" the officer said signaling dad to roll down the window. "Yes officer" he replied. "Well you do know your doing 20 over the speed limit." he said with a stern voice. "Yes sir I am aware, my wife just got into a terrible car accident and I need to get to her as fast as I can, I need to make sure she's holding on. I really need to get to my wife." He said, tears began to stream down his face, I've never seen my dad cry before. "I can understand your predicament sir, you can go.. get to your wife." the officer said. I was so suprised, I didn't know there were sympathetic cops out there. 

A few minutes later we finally arrived to the hospital, we rushed inside wasting no time. I could tell people were staring at me because I had no shoes on but hell I didn't care about shoes, they wouldn't save my mom. The nurse rushed us to my moms room to see her, she had so many cuts and bruises, and blood every where. Not once in my life had I ever thought I'd have to see my mom like this. The doctor said she'd broken her collar bone, her left leg, her right arm, and fractured her spine and there was a slight chance that she would make it. As soon as those words slipped out of her mouth I broke down. My knees caved in as I fell to the floor and I just layed there with my head to my knees, crying. Asking God why he was allowing this to happen to me. I felt cold hands pick me up and sit me down in a chair and when I looked up it was Nick.. How did he know I was here, what the hell was he doing here. I didn't want anyone to see me this way. He bent down to me and began to whisper in my ear. "I Know how you feel, just calm down, take deep breaths and talk to her, let her know how much you love her." I did exactly what he said. I layed down next to my mom on her hospital bed and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Momma I don't know if you can hear me or not but I want you to know that I love you so much. You're the best mom in the world and you can't leave me right now.. not when I need you the most. I couldn't bare be on this planet without you mom please wake up. If people can fight cancer you can fight this just please wake up." I said to her. I grabbed her hand and rested my fingers in the spaces between hers and I felt her hand twitch. The doctor said she was in a comma.. but she moved, my mom moved. "Dad! She moved" I yelled at him and began to smile. 

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* 

Her heart monitor.. Her heart beat was slowing down.. how could this be happening she moved. "Somebody help!" I screamed. The nurse raced in the room and told everyone they had to leave. My mom was having trouble breathing now. Why. All I can say is why. My dad wouldn't move. He was in shock, his body was just stuck there. I stood in front of were my moms bed used to be and I just looked. The doctors took her into their surgery room but she flat lined before they got there. They can't give up they better not give up. They have to put her on life support or something this can't be the end. My brain wasn't functioning, I felt like I was going to passout I didn't know what to do. My body almost hit the ground but luckily Nick was there to catch me. I had mixed emotions, a thousand different thoughts going through my head at once and I didn't know what to do. I looked up at Nick as he had me in his arms so comfortably. He whiped my tears from my eyes and smiled. 

"I love you"

*Zachary's POV* 

This bitch was making me sick, but I loved to see her suffer. After all torture I had been putting her through she still looked perfect. Did I want to hurt her? No but I told her she'd regret it. I'll make her suffer and beg. "Zachary?!" She said to me. How the fuck did she know it was me, what did I say, what do I say now fuck. I can't just let her know it's me I have to play it off. "Who the fuck is Zachary?" I said I didnt want her to know it was me, even though I'm not planning on letting her leave, she's gonna die here. I'm gonna make her feel as miserable as I felt when she rejected me in front of everyone. "I know it's you, I can tell by your voice.. why are you doing this to me, what do you want." she said. What the hell was I thinking doing this job on my own, I should've got someone to do this for me. I picked up the knife from the side of me and rubbed it down her face. All I wanted as of right now was for her to shut the fuck up, I'd cut her tongue of I had to. "Listen bitch, you don't know anything.. Just shut the fuck up before I end your life right here." She spit in my eye so I smacked her the hardest I could and she passed out I told this bitch not to test me. As she was passed out i put her body on the bed and handcuffed her to the ends of the bed. I put a chair infront of the bed and silently watched her bruised body just lye there until she woke up.
