Chapter 9- The One That Got Away

Ross's POV

"Zoey, please, I can't let you get hurt," I begged.

"You won't, because I am catching that wave."

She kept paddling out there, no matter what I would say, she just kept going farther.

She got out to the wave, and started riding it, she was actually doing it. Then I noticed she became a little unsteady, then she was gone. I couldn't see her.

I paddled my board out there, and swam under to find her. I couldn't see her. Then something brushed against my foot, I looked to see what it was. It was a surfboard. No, it was Zoey's surfboard. The ankle attachment wasn't attached to her anymore. She had to be somewhere over here.

I swam under again, I had to find her. I couldn't loose her, she completed me. I swam until I found something sinking.

I looked closer, it was Zoey. She wasn't moving, she kept going deeper. I swam to her, and pulled her up. Her lips were blue and she was hardly breathing. I lifted her unto my surfboard, and paddled to shore. I pulled her unto shore, and layed her on the sand.

"Somebody help," I screamed, "She's dying!! Help!"

There wasn't many people there, and no one seemed to have known CPR, I have to do it myself. I pumped on her chest, and gave her mouth to mouth. Someone had already called 911 by now. The paramedics showed up, and pulled me away from her.

"No I have to be with her," I screamed at the man.

"Sir, I'm afraid you can't stay with her."

"Then can I at least ride in the ambulance?"

"Are you family?"

"I'm her boyfriend."

"Okay, get in."

I climbed in, and sat as close to her as I could get, which wasn't close. She was already hooked up to a bunch of machines, they were giving her CPR again, trying to bring her back. She wasn't coming, what have I done?

We arrived at the hospital, and they took her in. I stood in the waiting room, waiting for my family to show up. They came rushing through the door fairly quickly.

"So the day I get my best friend back, you hurt her," Grace yelled at me, in her British accent.

"Grace, I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt her," Rocky said pulling her away.

"I didn't, I would never hurt her. I was trying to get her to not surf that wave, but she didn't listen," I said, with tears forming in my eyes.

"I believe you. I'm sorry, for acting like that. It's just she's my best friend, and I couldn't live without her," Grace said.

"It's okay, and I feel the same way."

"Zoey Morgain," a nurse called into the waiting room.

"Me," Grace and I called at the same time.

"Umm, are you two relatives?"

"I'm her boyfriend."

"And I'm her best friend."

"Okay, she's in room 26."

"Okay, thanks," we called to the nurse.

Grace and I walked to her room first, and then the rest of the group came in after us.

Zoey was hooked up to a bunch of machines still, and she was really pale. I felt like it was my fault, if I could have stopped her, this wouldn't have happened.

"Excuse me, the visiting hours are over now," a nurse said, interrupting my thoughts.

"Okay, but you mind telling me what is wrong with Zoey," I asked the nurse.

"We're not sure yet, but we are running test tonight, and should have the results tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you."

Then we walked out. The drive back to our house was pretty quiet, everyone was tired and worried. That night when I went to bed, I could see Zoey's bedroom from my window. The past few nights that she's lived here I could see her at night, but now her house is completely empty.

Grace spent the night with Rydel for she wasn't alone, so their having a girls night. And the rest of my family is watching a movie. But me, I'm sitting here, regretting everything.

It's all my fault. If I wouldn't have asked her out she would be here right now. I could be downstairs watching a movie with her. Or if I could have stopped her, she would be in my arms right now. I'm such a mistake.

That's when I got the courage to do it. I went to the bathroom, and took out a razor. One, two, three, blood as dripping down my arm. I hated myself for hurting Zoey, and I hated myself for what I just did.

The blood was dripping down my arm, after a few minutes it finally stopped, but I still had that empty pit in the bottom of my stomach.

I got in the shower to wash off, hospitals make me feel sick. The water stung on my cuts. I got out off the shower, and went to get in bed.

I didn't sleep, and when I finally got to sleep I woke up panting and sweating. So I was a little tired.

The next morning I got dressed, picked Grace up, and drove to the hospital. I ate there later.

When we arrived at the hospital we sprinted in, and went to the desk.

"Umm, what room is Zoey Morgan in," I asked.

"Are you relatives?"

"Sure," I lied, but I had to see her.

"Okay, room 26."

Wow, these places have terrible security.

I got in Zoey's room, and saw she was still asleep. We sat there for a few minutes, then a doctor entered.

"Oh, hi, I wasn't expecting visitors so soon," the doctor said surprised.

"We wanted to check up, so how is everything," Grace asked.

"Oh, well, I'm sorry to say, but Miss Morgan is in coma. we don't know when she might wake up, or if she will wake up, I'm sorry, I'll give you a minute" then he walked out.

I sat there, staring off into space. How long will she be in coma? What if she doesn't wake up? What if something goes wrong? What if I loose the person I love?

Wait... did I just say I love her? I can't I just met her a week ago, can I? Why is life so confusing?

Just then I interrupted by someone wrapping their arms around me. Oh, it's Mom, Grace must have called them over.

"Honey, it will be okay," she comforted me.

"No it won't, this is all my fault. It could have killed her... and it still can. It's all my fault."

"Don't say that, it's not your fault. You tried to stop her. You did your best."

"Thanks mom."

"You're welcome sweetie."

We spent the rest of the day there, nothing new happened. Zoey was still in coma, but I realized I love her.

~~~~~~

Sad? Happy that he loves her? What do you think? I know you guys probably don't read this, but oh well. I'll update later today, I really love writing this. And you still don't know who Miranda is, can you guess?
