On the Edge of Love *on hold*

Falling to Pieces

I was sitting in the back of the car, listening to the music blasting though my headphones.  My head lay against the window.  Two of his three friends that were in the car were just staring at me, wondering when I will fully break down.  I was mad at him. No I couldn’t be, it wasn’t fair because it wasn’t his fault. I was devastated though.  I was numb. I was hurt. Wishing it was a dream, or a joke. But this just can’t be happening.  Not to him.

 *10 minutes before my life fell to pieces*

5:47 and I was simply watching a movie. That’s all.

I got up to make more popcorn, grab another drink, and just walk but I was so antsy. He had been gone for over three hours… and it worried me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still mad but it doesn’t mean that I don’t care about him. I tried to ignore my bad feeling, so I went back to the movie. I tried not to worry.  And it worked, I forgot how long he had been gone, and it was the most stupid mistake of my life. I got a text from one of his best friends. It was Alex, so I didn’t think much of it; I get texts from him time to time.

From Alex:

Iz.  Me and Aiden will be at your place in 5 minutes. But we have to go. Fast. Be sure you are ready to go. It’s Noah.

I froze. I knew if anything had happened my life would be shatter, because he was my life. Noah Parker was everything to me.

            I heard my door knock and I immediately grab my iPhone and bag I put on the table a few minutes earlier and rush to the door where I saw to red eyed obviously upset people. It took me a second till I realized it was Alex and Aiden. They had been crying and I still had no clue why. But I don’t know if I wanted to. 

            They looked at me and Alex started to tear up before Aiden grabbed my wrist and dragged me down the front steps to the car where Jordan was in the front driving, but also looking very upset.

            “What the hell happened…?” I asked

            Jordan responds simply by saying “Noah… He was in an accident… And we don’t know if he is ok… but we... heard it was…..” he stopped and started to softly cry.

            “I……” I couldn’t finish my thought before I closed my eyes to fight back the tears

And with that we drove to the hospital.

                When we got there, I truly broke down.  I started to cry Aiden saw me and pulled me into a hug and we just stood in the hospital, crying. Eventfully Jordan and Alex joined and everything started to feel real. Right then, I truly thought my life was over.

            After what felt like hours of just crying a nurse came over to us and asked if she could help us with anything. Jordan broke away to talk to her and ask where Noah was.

He came back and said Noah was in room 361. The boys led me to the room because I couldn’t see since I was crying so hard. We all walked in braced for the worst. And he laid there, cuts and bruises, and a cast on his right leg. And he looked just as broken as me only in different ways.

                                                                   *1 hour later*

            I sat on the floor with my back against the wall looking at Noah. Everyone else passed out about forty minutes ago.

            His eyes fluttered open, looking around the room.  And I started to cry again, and he must have heard me because he looked in my direction, smiled slightly with tears slowly streaming down his face. I got up and slowly walked over to him.
