ALEX

I hear the first few words my mother says to me, and everything goes blank. I hear her and I see her, but I am numb. I am lifeless to my core, my insides crying and weeping for an answer. How did this happen? How did Matt, my Matt, end up in this situation? I stand close to my mom, I keep hearing her tell me to say something, anything, but no sign of sound leaves my mouth. I feel a wetness on my cheek and quickly wipe it away with the back of my sleeve, his sleeve. I forgot I even had it on, Matt's hoodie he left here at some point. I slipped it on last night as I was going to bed, taking comfort in his smell and the fact of knowing its his. Knowing we might finally have a chance for each other. All that needed to happen was for me to get my act together honestly. I honestly can't even believe myself right now. For being such a fool, for taking advantage of Matt for so long. How could I be so blind?

Matt. Yes, he made mistakes. I of all people can't judge him for his past, take a glance at mine. All he ever did was protect me and care for me. Right from the start. And what did I do? Pulled an Alex and waited too long. Now it may be too late. I feel my face heating up and my breathing quickening, already knowing whats about to happen. I turn and rush to my room, away from my mom and my problems.

I reach my room and lock the door quickly, my back running into the corner wall next to my door. I take a deep breath and decide to let my emotions have their way. I let out soft cries at first, and my knees become weak. I crumble to the floor willingly while sobs wrack my body, not really giving a damn about anything anymore. Except Matt. My poor Matt.

I take one step at a time, making my way to the doors of the hospital. How can this be happening? I feel as if my heart is caving in, crashing my spirits and my mind. I don't even know how he's doing, what condition he's in. Just that supposedly he was driving, swayed out of his lane and crashed straight into a pick-up truck. At leas thats all I heard my mom say before I fell out of reality for awhile. After I tumbled to the ground and cried for a solid hour, I passed out on the floor and clutched onto the sweater I was wearing. I woke up to my mom shaking my shoulder, telling me Matt is in surgery and will be done soon so we should head up to the hospital. I quickly put my hair in a ponytail and put some tennis shoes on, not caring that I had smeared makeup all over my face and I probably looked like someone my mom picked up off the side of the road.

I sit in the waiting room while my mom speaks with the receptionist so she can notify us when's out of surgery. I look around and see no familiar people, no one that resembles Matt. Did they call any of his family? Does he even have other family? I never even thought to ask. Stupid and carless Alex. I clasp my clammy hands together, squeezing my eyes shut and praying for a miracle to a God I'm not sure of.

"Honey, he's going to be okay. You have to stay positive. For him," My mother says with a soft smile and unsure eyes. They give her away. "How can I? He was hit by a pick-up mom. Not just some small car or little Volkswagen," I say with a shake voice. Keep it together.

We wait for a solid three hours, and I can't help but be starving by now. Its 4 o'clock in the afternoon and I still haven't ate yet. I excuse myself to go to the snack machine, having to ask the receptionist where it is after searching ten minutes. Stupidly, its a few hallways away to the left. Why wouldn't they have one right next to the waiting room? I finally find it and get some chocolate chip cookies and salt and vinegar chips, along with a sprite to settle my stomach. As I reach to grab my drink, I hear a familiar raspy voice followed by a more high-pitched one.

I slightly turn my head to the right and peep out of the corner of my eye and see a closed curtain down the hall. I see a pair of torn up black vans and white converse with a pink star drawn on the ankle. Wait... those are mine! It has to be Luke and Ashley. I knew she stole my stuff, stupid b*tch. I listen more intently to the voices, but I can't catch what they're saying. I know the huge risk, but what the hell am I supposed to do? What if they had something to do with Matt's accident?

"Bullsh*t, Luke! You told me you weren't going to hurt him! And now the kid might die because you were too impulsive and stupid and couldn't control your f*cking anger!" I hear Ashley practically yell. I knew they had something to do with it.

I hear Luke sigh and see his shoes stepping closer to her below the curtain. I walk a few steps closer to them to hear them better. "Watch your f*cking tone. I didn't try to kill the kid, Ashley. I gave him a little roughening up at the supermarket and left him alone. He deserved it. But running him off the road? I'm already being looked at by the f*cking cops, why would I draw more attention to myself? It wasn't even one of my guys or my cars. He was half unconscious when we left him. What happened after to him is his own damn fault," He hisses. I can tell he's pretty angry just by his voice. Maybe they aren't a couple after all? They don't sound like it. I don't know, I'm confused as hell.

I see some nurses walking past me, towards their room, and realize how close I am to them. I quickly gather myself and my stuff and quickly walk back to the waiting room. God, I hope they didn't see me.

"You okay? You need to calm down, honey," My mom says while taking a few chips. "I am, I am." I say while taking a deep breath.

"Excuse me, mam? Matt is out of surgery. We have some news."
