 || Jamie’s POV ||

I take a sharp inhalation and suddenly my eyes flutter. When I look up, all I see is worried faces, staring down at me. They instantly relax a little and I wonder where I am. Mum is standing above me and Pete is there as well. Why? I wonder to myself. I’m fine. Why does everyone still look half panicked?

I try to choke out words, but nothing comes out. A sob escapes from my mum’s lips and Pete grasps her empty hand. I follow her other hand and find it is enveloped in Keith’s. Keith’s cheeks are stained in tears but he still looks perfect. When I get out of wherever I am, I have to ask him out.

For the second time, I tried to speak. “Keith,” I spluttered out. “Jamie,” Keith half-whispered. He wrapped me in to a bear hug and I groaned. “Oh, I’m so sorry!” he said, quickly getting off me. “What happened?” I managed to ask. Keith sighed and looked at me.

“You were involved in a terrible car accident,” I told her, my eyes starting to cloud over. Jamie looked up at me intently, obviously not realising the extent of the situation. I looked away and looked back when she tugged my arm. “You …” I paused. “You died Jamie.”

Jamie’s face remained expressionless for a few moments. When I thought she wasn’t going to say anything, I heart soft sobs coming from her. “Shh shh,” I comforted her, pulling her to my chest. “It’s okay,” I cooed. “Why did I put headphones in?” she cried. “It’s not your fault, it’s mine,” I said.

“I should have walked with you. I should have been there for you,” I raked my hands threw my already ruffled hair and dropped my head into my hands. “It’s all my fault Jamie. I’m so sorry I let you down.”

Millions of thoughts were running through my brain and none of them make sense. I hadn’t realised how much I cared for Jamie until this crash. I guess something good has come out of it. I look over at Jamie and see that she has fallen asleep. Poor girl. Seeing her so sad and fragile makes me feel tired. Before I close my droopy eyes and give up to slumber I whisper softly in her ear. “I think I might love you.”
