So you guys had some mixed thoughts about potato winning. If you want, I can write an alternate chapter.

Maxes POV
~~~~~~~~

I've been waiting hours and hours on end. The waitress has come by countless times asking if I need anything. To which I reply
"Still waiting for someone."
The waitress comes by again and fills up my glass with some new water, since I drunk all of it in boredom.
"Honey... Maybe you should call her? Or him? I don't know your preference." She asks kindly,
"Oh yeah I hadn't thought of that thanks," I say, I pull out my phone and click his name.

Hey this is Ross' phone, I'm not around at the moment. If you could leave a message so I can call you back that would be pretty rossome. I'm not a sloth. Bye

I frown and look at the table,
"Uhh honey I don't mean to pry but is this your first date?" The nice waitress asks
"Yeah. It was gonna be special." I mumble, she nods and looks outside
"It's getting late, I don't want to be mean but I think he stood you up.." She whispers to me,
she walks back to her station before I can answer.
Maybe she is right, what if Ross has stood me up. No. That would be hella awkward when we go back to work so why would he?
I look outside and watch the cars go by, it is late, almost ten, I should head home.
I put my jacket on and leave a tip for the nice waitress, who gives me a 'I'm so sorry' look. I just give her a small smile and leave.
The night streets are cold, eliminated by only the moon as a broken lamp posts glob flickers. It's starts to snow, I wish I wore a hoodie. But that wouldn't have looked nice, but I guess that wouldn't have mattered anyway.
I walk a little further and see some worried faces walk by, a woman holding a crying child looks scared.
"He'll be okay dear, the doctors fix everyone up. Remember when he fixed your hurt knee? He was so-" the rest of her voice fades into the snow as she walks away faster.
Why is everyone sad and scared? I tap a passing man on the shoulder.
"Hey why is everyone worried?" I ask politely,
"Young lad hit by a car up ahead." He answers shaking his head, "looks bad." He mumbles, he tips his hat and hurry so along.

Young man? My imagination kicks in, all is see is Ross on his phone then getting hit by a car. No, he is always careful on roads. He is fine.

I hail a taxi and tell the driver my address, he starts with up a conversation,
"A crash happened only moments ago here, " he points at a coned off area with police and a car.
"Young man was hit, I asked the name...ahh let me think" he stops mid sentence the think, I stay quiet.
Poor guy, I hope he is okay. I wonder where he was off to at the time, people should always look where they are going even if they are in a rush or late to something.
"Ah that's right! His name was Ross-" I don't let him finish seriously what is his last name? I can't find it!
"Wait! I need to go to the nearest hospital! Now!" I raise my voice
"Eh? Okay sonny you know the guy?" He asks, turning the car around
"Yes. He's my boyfriend." I say, proud to call him that
"Oi I'm sorry mate, I heard that he will live though, so don't get to worked up." He says calmly
"Sir he could be seriously hurt I need to see him." I blurt
It makes sense now, how could Ross ditch me, he would never to that. This makes more sense, but I'd prefer to see him okay and ditching me then nearly dead.

~Back wards time skip to Ross getting hit.~

Ross' POV
~~~~~~~

I'm so late, I'm so so late. I park the car quickly. Damn Max shouldn't have offered going taxi, I should have I'm not all a good driver. Shit, I'm so late. I check my watch, an hour late. He's going to hate me, think I stood him up. He will never forgive me! Oh Max I'm so sorry, I'm such a derp! I hold my head in my hands shaking back and forth, damn it, damn it all.
I wait at a crossing, more time wasted. The light goes green, I run ahead. People walk calmly behind me. Then a car shoots forward and hits me, I go flying. I moan, I see a woman holding a child, frozen with fear watching me. She must be worried, if it hit her son then he'd be dead. As all the people stand frozen one man pulls out his phone
"911??!? A young man just got hit by a car on insert fancy address here. Yes please send an ambulance, okay, okay. What do I do? Y-yes I understand." He speaks into the phone, he runs over to me and kneels down
He pulls out his water bottle and starts pouring it on my deep cuts, he's trying to clean them. It stings like hell, every thing hurts.
"Th-ank" I whisper, his expression changes as I black out.

~present time~

My eyelids flutter open, my room isn't this white. Ow, my leg hurts. My neck hurts. My arm hurts. Ow. Everything hurts. Oh that's right, the car. I'm in a hospital. I can't move my head, I glance at the clock I front of me,
10:30
I'm so late.
"Anyone named Ross? Hit by car! This room? Thanks miss! " I hear Maxes voice echo through the halls,
The door bursts open,
"SIR HE IS IN RECOVERY" A doctor yells,
Max runs up to me and kisses me all over my face, it stings. But in a good way.
"I'm sorry, I'm really late aren't it?" I whisper,
He lets out a sad chuckle
"You're alive. You're okay. Thank fucking God." He whisper,
"Yeah but everything hurts, if I died would you be Mad Max?" I ask, trying to laugh
He shakes his head slowly and looks down,
"No...I wouldn't." He whispers, he looks up and faces me, he's crying?
"I'd be Sad Max."
