Skater boy

Chapter 5

Maddie's POV ~

I felt a hit of pain. And before my eyes I see that I'm on the ground and I'm screaming as Lucas is practically under the vehicle, his eyes were closed and he wasn't breathing.

The driver ran out with a concerned look on his face, I look over to him, tears flooding my face.

"WHAT ARE YOU STANDING THERE FOR? CALL THE AMBULANCE!" I scream at the Middle Aged man and he fumbles with his phone has he dials 911.

"You're gonna be okay, you're gonna be okay," I kept saying to him over and over and over until the ambulance came. That almost seemed to help me calm down as well.
The paramedics rushed out as they managed to pull him out under the truck. They lifted him onto the stretcher and motioned me to come into the ambulance with them.

I just stood there. "I killed him. I killed Lucas." I collapsed to the ground and sobbed. My vision was faded and couldn't move my legs. All I could hear were faded voices, I tried to look up, I tried to move, but I couldn't do anything.

It felt like about 5 minutes before another paramedic came and grabbed me by the arms and pulled me onto a stretcher. I couldn't breathe. And I tried to focus on the paramedics face.

I just couldn't do anything, I couldn't think of anything else but Lucas, and what had just happened.

They pushed me into the back of the ambulance with Lucas and through my faded vision I could see paramedics attempting to revive him.
I felt a tear fall down my cheek. My vision became more faded and soon after everything went totally black.

~

I wake up in a nicely clean room with white sheets and the room smelled like cleaning products. My vision was faded and I could just make out someone standing by my bed, but I couldn't see who it was. I thought it was Lucas. But as my vision slowly came back to normal I saw it was just a nurse, a tear rolled down my cheek as I weakly spoke to her.

"Where's Lucas?" I sniffled.

"Your friend is in the room next to you, when you gain some strength you can see him" she smiled at me as she grabbed my hand

"He's stable" she smiled.

I gave a big sigh of relief but the tears kept coming, I wasn't sure if it was tears of happiness or fear. Maybe both but right now I just wanted to see him.

The nurse left the room and I immediately unhooked myself from the machine and looked around the room for my clothes. I opened a little closet on the side of the room. My clothes were washed and nicely folded on the rack, I got dressed as fast as I could and ran out the room. Looking around for the next room. I walked down the hall a bit till I saw a piece of paper on the door saying 'Lucas Rogers, car crash'

My heart sank as I read the paper. I felt hesitant to open it. But I needed to be there.

I opened the door and my eyes fell on Lucas lying there. Peacefully and his hair messed up and few bruises on his face. The monitor was beeping rhythmically, he was sleeping.

I slowly walked to him and tears started to roll down my cheeks as I took his hand and sat on the bed.

"I'm so sorry" I whispered weakly.

I closed my eyes and we both were silent. I felt his hand wrap around mine. Now he was holding my hand and I looked over at him.

His eyes were open and I immediately started to smile.

"I'm so sorry" my tears started to flow in again

"For what?"

"Cause it's my fault this happened" I closed my eyes and let the tears fall down onto the white sheets.

Lucas held my hand tighter

"You did nothing wrong" he whispered.

I opened my eyes and gave him a slight smile. We looked at each other and shared a moment of silence when his mom comes bursting in the room, tears streaming down her face, I look back at her with my red puffy eyes.

I let go of Lucas and gave his mom a big hug

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry" I kept repeating.

"Shhhh, it's okay you did nothing wrong"

his mom gave me a tighter hug and I felt a bit better. But her embrace was nothing like Being with Lucas, his warm smiles and his soft hands,t he embrace he gives me is just like being in the safest place in the world.
Lucas is my safe place.
