The Bookworm

Chapter 7) Accident

The following day Erwin and Armin where kissing at Erwins place, Erwin pulled away from the kiss "Can't you take the day off?" Armin responded "No, my mam needs me since their is only us two who work their" Erwin let out a loud breath of air "Okay" and kissed his head "Should I come?" Armin hugged him tight "No, write your essay before you forget everything I've taught you, I'll come back later" Erwin laughed a little "Okay, you better not be late" and kissed him again till Armin pulls away and walks out the front door shouting "Bye!" and Erwin waves "See you later love " and Armin gets in his car and drives off to the Library.

Armin singing along to the Hamilton songs that flew through his car "I know him, that can't be ..." tapping his hands on the steering wheel. Suddenly a lorry came crashing down the road and whipped Armins car off the road and against one of the shops walls. Armin couldn't see anything, not the blood running down his face or the broken glass scatted around the car. He couldn't hear the people screaming or the ambulance doctors trying to get him to open his eyes. He couldn't smell the burning oil or the flames that consumed his car. He couldn't feel the broken bones, He couldn't feel his heart beat slow down with less blood pumping around his body. One of the doctors shouted "We need to get him to hospitable now, he's running out of time!" 

Erwins phone started to vibrate, Picking up his phone to see it is an unknown number but answered it anyway.

????) Hello ?

Erwin) Hi who is this?

???? crying) Th-this is Arm-Armins mam

Erwin) Mrs Arlet? What wrong ... Why are you crying ?

Mrs A) It's Armin ... he's been in an acc-accident 

Erwins heart beat felt like it had stopped for a second , his grip on his phone grew tighter

Erwin) where is he?

Mrs A) the local Hospitable, the one near the fancy food shop

Erwin) I know where that is. I'll be their in 12 minutes

Erwin quickly ended the call and grabbed his car keys and rushed to his car, almost speeding down to the hospital.

Erwin ran into Armins room to see Armin attached to 12 different machines trying to keep him alive, Erwin walked up to the bed and took his hand "Hey bookworm, you need to be strong ... you need to come back to me, you promised you would come back to mine tonight. Bookworm, I love you so much" Erwin held his hand tight till Mrs Arlet walked in the room "Erwin" Erwin looked at her and moved to be with her, she placed her hand on his arm "It, it doesn't look good ... they don't think he-hes going to make it" Erwin felt the tears in his eyes. She quickly pulled him in a hug "Go, go be with your boyfriend" Erwin looked at her confused "Did you really think Armin wouldn't tell me about you two?" Erwin laughed a little and went back to Armins bed side while she went back out the room to talk to the doctor.

  He sat on Armins bed, stroking his blood stained hair. He didn't know what to say until it came to him what to say, But he sang instead:

 "Let me tell you what I wish I'd known When I was young and dreamed of glory You have no control, Who lives Who dies, Who tells your story? oh , I can't wait to see you again It's only a matter of Time .Will they tell your story , Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?"

Armin Eyes suddenly shot open, Erwin crying "Armin, Bookworm can you hear me?"  Armin smiled and spoke softly "You have ... a beautiful voice, I knew you would like Ham ... Il ...ton" with his last breath. Suddenly Armins heart monitor stopped sending a screaming noise through the room. Doctors rushed in and tried everything they could to try and save him but nothing was working Erwin was sat in the corner chair with Armins mother both crying. The doctor looked at the clock "Time of death 10:37am".  A doctor walked over to the two "I'm sorry, we tried everything. You can see him now but its completely up to you" Erwin stood up and walked over to Armins body, His tears dropping and covering his now pale skin "Armin, I love you ... Bookworm, I had the best tome with you. Please wait for me, I'll be with you again in no time" and kissed his cold lips before rushing out the room and back into his car, letting his tears flood out.
