Hope's POV: I was throwing up uncontrollably, and just when I stopped and turned around to get back into the car, I saw my best friend go from sitting in the front seat texting, to flying through the windshield in a matter of seconds.

I screamed her name as I ran over to her side.

Her eyes were shut and there was so much blood.

The guy in the truck got out slowly.

"Are you guys okay?" He acted slightly stumbling

"I'm fine, but my friend.." I trailed off

He walked over beside me

"Oh my god.." He mumbled

He reached for his phone and dialed 911

As he was telling them where we were located I was just looking at her

Saying to her over and over again that everything was going to be okay

I knew she couldn't hear me, or maybe she could, I didn't know, all I knew is that I was trying to tell myself it was going to be okay. 

The ambulance arrived not long after, and they carefully put Destiny on the stretcher and checked over the guy who was in the truck.

I got into the ambulance and road to the hospital.

I held her hand the whole way there asking over and over again if she was going to be okay, and sadly the paramedics could only tell me that they didn't know. 

We arrived after what seemed like hours

They rushed her in only leaving me in the waiting room

My phone vibrated about an hour of just sitting there.

It was Gabe.

Gabe: Hey, did you guys make it home okay? 

Oh my god. 

What am I going to tell Justin?!

I dialed Gabes number

"Hey baby!" He answered cheerfully

"Hey.." I said quietly 

"Are you okay?" He asked worried

"I gotta tell you something.." I said 

Justin's POV: 

Gabe shook me awake, while yelling my name at the top of his lungs

"What the fuck man?!" I yelled sitting up

He sat down next to me

"I gotta tell you something.." he mumbled

"It couldn't have waited until morning?!" I said irritated

"We have a flight in 2 hours home." He said getting up and picking up some of of his stuff

"Wait, what? Why?" I asked 

He turned around and looked down at his feet

"There's been an accident.." He said quietly 

"Who was involved??" I asked getting worried

"Justin.. I'm so sorry.. Destiny was the only one in the car, she was on her way home and a truck smashed into the back of her car and sent her through the windshield.. They don't know anything yet, Hope is still in the waiting room." He told me looking up slightly 

"What?" I mumbled to myself more than anyone

I didn't move

I was frozen on the spot

What.. What am I going to do?

"I already woke the other guys up, they're all packing up as well.. Justin? Can you hear me?" Gabe asked sounding really worried

"The last time I talked to her.. She was mad at me.. She had just texted me.. I just talked to her.. And she was fine.. What the hell" I said putting my head in my hands

Gabe came over and hugged me

"I'm so sorry dude, I'll pack your stuff up for you" He said getting up

I didn't move.

I couldn't.

I couldn't believe it.

It felt like I was there forever.

Gabe got my attention and told me it was time to go

I looked up and saw the rest of my band there as well

They all looked at me with sympathetic looks

I slowly stood up and slipped on my shoes and jacket.

And walked out to the car.

But I was numb

I didn't know if she was okay

I just hoped to god she was.

Hope's POV:  

The doctor came out to the waiting room

"Destiny smith's family?" He asked looking around

Destinys mom and I stood up and walked over to him quickly

"Shes stable, but she is in a coma, we don't know when she will wake up, or if there is any brain damage yet, but we hope that she will wake up very soon, she did however loose a lot of blood. We did give her blood and she seems to be improving every minute"

He said while placing a hand on Destiny's mom Katies shoulder.

"Can we see her?" Katie asked quietly

"Of course" He said "Follow me" He got up and walked us back to her room. 

There were wires sticking out of her everywhere, her face had a large bandage on it, and her heart monitor was strong.

I texted Gabe

Hope: Shes stable.. But in a coma.. Get here soon please? 

Gabe: I'll be there soon sweetie 

I looked down at my phone the at Destiny, then at Katie

She looked broken

I put my arm around her and we both broke down crying holding onto each other. 

Please Destiny..

Please.. Wake up soon.. 

I love you.
