Forever and Always - BoyxBoy -Complete-

1

The hospital was so silent., only wheels that rolling on the floor, elevator buttons buzzing and clipboards tapping on the desk were the music filling everyone’s ears. There wasn't any disturbance at the still quietness of the whole place until the sounds of siren come up closer. Howling as it approaches the sanctuary, saving his one true love from the clutches of Death. The blood of his lover over his arms, clothes, face. Adrenaline free flowing beneath their skin, deep within their bodies. Keeping every breath, holding on their hands together. That magical sensation and their skin touches. Now Fate is testing their love and challenges them to prove if they are worthy to be in each other’s arms.  Everything rests upon them now.

A few minutes earlier

"Daniel! Daniel! Oh, shit! Come on, wake up! Wake up!" He just won't open his eyes. I tried slapping his cheeks gently to see if he's still conscious but it's no use. I unbuckled his seat belt and took him out carefully of his car. Damn it! He's suffering at too much blood lose. His head is badly injured. If I can't take him to the nearest hospital, soon he'd end up dead here. Even first aid won't be of so much help here. 

I see lights coming towards us, and it pulled over a distance. Zoey and Jeff came out of the car. "Jake! Where's Daniel? What's happening here?" Zoey rushed to my aid and yelped at the site of Daniel in my arms, covered in blood. "Oh my God! Daniel!" She put both of her hands over her mouth, keeping her wailing.

"Jake! What's going on here? Oh dear-" Jeff was also shocked at the scene. "I'll call an ambulance as soon as possible." He walked out, pulling his phone out and called.

"Zoey, check on Dan's car if he has a first aid kept. Knowing him, he's always ready if some accidents happen." I commanded, forcefully. But, she wasn't able to hear me. Her wailing kept on and on. "Zoey! Please!"

My voice overcame hers and finally she heard me. She went searching inside the car, hoping there's something we can use just to stop the bleeding. Resting him on my arms, his blood still flows out from his head. His chest might be broken as well. A few scrapes on his face were most likely caused by the shards of the windscreen.

Judging from the impact of his car onto mine, he's speeding up. The front is badly damaged, almost unrecognizable. Windscreens cracked, partly shattered. IT even made all the airbags pop out but still. Although my hull is most likely ruined upon impact, I wasn't even scraped or hurt or bruised even a small cut. I don't know if I can call myself lucky, but Daniel. He's just as.... unbearable....

"H-Here, w-wr-wrap-p t- th-this a-ar-rou-nd h-his he-ea-d... " Zoey, still sobbing and stuttering, pulled out a long bandage from Dan's first aid kit. I helped her wrap the bandage around Daniel's head just to stop it from further bleeding. I checked his pulse to see if he's still alright. I placed my thumb over his wrist and pressed it lightly. His pulse can be felt, but it's faint almost dying out. 

Sirens were approaching us a few minutes later. The flashing lights of blue, red and yellow illuminated the scene. "Finally!" Zoey screamed at the top of her voice. Soon men came out at the back of the vehicle, carrying a stretcher with them as soon as they pulled over. Wasting no time to doodle around, they quickly dashed to our side. One of them immediately came to look at Daniel's head to see if something's gone wrong.

"What happened here?" The man in green clothing asked me, kneeling down to me. "My boyfriend was driving past the speed limit here. I tried to chase him down here and pulled to his front only to make him stop. Unintentionally, I pressed hard on my brakes and he crashed hard at the end of my car. I think he tried to swerve to his side but didn't make it."

I can see from the expression he made when I told him Dan's my boyfriend. Avoiding my sharp glare, he signaled his companion to bring the stretcher near and dropping it down. They carried Daniel from my care and placed him gently on top of the stretcher. They lifted it and quickly brought him in. The man came to me, tapping his hand on my shoulder. "Come on, we need to check you to if your injured or broken. We can't just leave you hanging around here."

Helping me to get up, we both walked together towards the back end of the vehicle. I looked back at our friends and nodded to them, telling to follow us, before het set me down inside.

We went off as soon as they shut the doors behind us. Some of them pulled some stuff and started to look after Dan. Some respirators pumping to his mouth, stethoscopes on his chest checking his heartbeat. They even injected something to him.

My ears went silent as I gazed upon them. The whole world seemed to be muted no matter how much they yelled at each other. Working together just to save Daniel, they pulled evey single effort they could possible give.

"Sir, are you alright?" A young lady sat beside me with a tool box. "Uh.. Yeah.. I, uh, I think so..." She knelt down before me and checked every single area in my body. She wiped a few drops of Dan's blood from my cheeks and arms. "Hmmm, you've got a minor cut on your palm. Probably by the glass fragments. You must not have noticed it when you pulled him out."

Taking out her tweezor, she removed a few bits of glass till on my hand before cleaning it and put some bandage. "You know, we're lucky enough to see that you've put something to stop the bleeding on his head. If you haven't then we may have lost him even before we left. And to tell you, he's a strong person. He's fighting for his life, for you."

Her words pierced through my now aching heart. '...we may have lost him...he's a strong person...he's fighting... for you...' My tear ducts were overflowing already and uncontrolably, I cried out loud inside. I buried my face on her shoulders. Her hands entwined at the back of my head, rubbing it softly.

"I don't want to lose him. I love him! Please, do whatever it takes to keep him alive." Begging her to keep Daniel well, her arms locked and pulled me tightly. "I know this won't do any difference, but I'm hoping this will ease the pain your feeling right now. We'll look after him for you and we will make sure he's far from danger. You have my word."

Though no other words can help me feel better, at least making me feel confident about Dan is all important.

*****

I'm still here sitting on outside the emergency room waiting for some miracle to happen, left thinking how can Daniel possibly survive. They immediately took him inside the Emergency Room and let me stay here. Even though my arms and face are already wiped off, his blood is still all over my shirt. Staring at the floor blankly, I can't possibly fathom all the sudden events that happened tonight.

Still, I wasn't able to stop him and able to talk him out. I know what he did was too reckless, I can't blame him. Even stopping Kim from kissing me, I was too weak to do it. It's not me letting my guard down, but I should have been able to anticipate it. Then again who would expect that to happen since the last time I felt her presence was a long time ago and I completely have forgotten everything about her.

"Jake! Jake!" From a distance, I can hear Zoey's voice calling out my name, Jeff following her from behind. Her heels make a clunky-sound as her feet lands on the tile floor. Both of them stood before me. I wasn't able to help myself from crying as they stopped and looked down to me. 

Clenching my fists on Zoey's dress, tears escaped from my tear ducts and started falling like raindrops. Her hands enveloped my head, comforting me. Jeff sat down beside me, rubbing my back. "Jake, it's not your fault. It was hers, not yours." Zoey murmured between her cries.

I glanced up at her. Her head bowing down, tears fall off from her head as if they were waterfalls. Her long hair meesed up from the last time I saw her earlier. Her tears, hitting my cheeks, burns as it slides down. Every tear she sheds eats its way to my conscience.

I'm not going to lose Daniel. Never in my life had I wanted to be apart from him.
