You Are My Happiness (Ianthony)

Chapter 10 - Anthony's Story

Anthony's POV

The road was almost empty as I was driving towards Kristin's house. I was actually on my way to her house to tell her something important. 

I was going to break up with her.

There was nothing wrong with her, she's absolutely perfect. But not for me. We started dating a few months ago, but after all that time I still couldn't get remove my feelings for someone else. Ian. 

I was convinced that dating Kristin would make them go away, but they didn't. I've grown up with acceptable parents when it comes to sexuality and stuff, but at school it was different. 

I had this friend during fifth grade that I really enjoyed hanging out with. One day, he came out as gay. We still hung out like nothing had happened because I didn't really care if he liked boys or girls, but then more students got to know of his sexuality. He got bullied, beaten up and called ugly things. I tried to help him, but I got pushed away. When I tried to tell the teachers, they brushed me off. Saying that none of the students at this school would ever think of doing any of that. 

The next days, he wouldn't attend school. I tried calling him once, but his mother told me he was ill and it was really contagious so I couldn't visit. I knew it was because of the bullies. I wanted to confront them, but I was scared of them as well. Scared that they would tell me I was defending 'my boyfriend' and start bully me for something I wasn't. 

After a week, our teacher told us that my friend had moved away. Far away and got a tutor to come to their house. The bullies looked satisfied and whispered to each other "now we don't have to worry about that virus spreading". I got so angry at them, but I didn't do anything to them. I just excused myself and went to the bathroom to cry. My only friend had moved away because of his sexuality. That day, I was afraid of being gay and tried my best to "stay straight". 

It didn't last long. When I met Ian, I developed feelings for him. I couldn't stop looking at his adorable face with those beautiful blue eyes, but I held myself back. Ian seemed interested in girls, and girls only.  Instead we became best friends, which I've been grateful for. I wouldn't manage if I didn't get to see his face everyday.

Today I built up the courage to confess my feelings for him and hopefully, he'll feel the same way. If not, I at least hope he'll still remain my best friend. I hope I can still be friends with Kristin, because she is surely an amazing person and I love hanging out with her. I'll try to make her understand. And then I'll go straight back home and finally tell Ian that I-

My thoughts got interrupted when I heard a speeding car approach. The car didn't follow the speed limit at all and the driver didn't seem stable. Just when the car was about to pass me, it turned rapidly to the left and crashed into my car. After that, everything turned blurry. Red. Darkness.

I heard yelling and a female scream. "I-Iann.." I managed to whisper before I let my eyelids drop. 

My "sleep" got interrupted by beeping. Beep. Beep. Where am I? Looked up to see flashing lights pass me. Am I moving? I turned my head to see doctors running beside me. Apparently I was laying down on a bed or something. One of the doctors turned to me.

"Mr Padilla. You're at the Sacramento Hospital. You've been in a terrible car crash and we're on our way to the E.R. (operation room) right now. Stay with us, you'll be okay. Just stay awake!" he told me. I nodded, but it hurts so I stopped moving. When the doctor looked away, I felt really tired. 'I can't stay awake any longer. I'm tired and I want some rest. Just for a minute.' We stopped and I could hear the surgeons frantically moving around. I still heard the beeping sounds. Beep. Beep. My eyelids dropped once again. I was slowly falling asleep. I heard the beeps getting more longer lasting and I realized what was happening. I was dying. No! I can't die! What about Ian? What about the life we were supposed to have together? 

I tried to fight the darkness, but it's impossible. The darkness always wins, no matter how much of a fighter you are. My eyes couldn't be opened and I was still drifting off to sleep. 'No. No. I don't want to die. Please.' I wanted to fight so badly but I felt mentally and physically exhausted.

"I'm sorry, Ian..I..love..you.." I whispered almost inaudible before the darkness flushed over me.

Author's Note: I just had to write Anthony's POV before the alternate endings, but you should see that as a plus! (This actually broke my heart a bit while writing it, I hope you like it). When it comes to the endings: I'm working on it, but I have to take a little break since school's back and I've got a ton of homework and assignments to finish. I'll write as often as possible, but it will be a while until the next update. Bear with me, okay? :3
