(PICTURE OF LUKE)
EDITED*03/02/16
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I pull up in front of Luke's apartment and park the car on the side of the street. I turn the ignition off and step out of my car locking it as I walk to the front door of the apartment building. I walk inside and go to the elevator. I walk in as it opens and press the button that will take me to the 9th floor. I walk out of the elevator and down the hall to his apartment door, 917. I still have my key to his apartment, I never gave it back before I left. I put the key in quietly, wanting to surprise him. I slowly turn the handle and open the door."Surprise!!!!" I scream, but stop immediately after I see what is happening.
"Tris?!" he asks, "Oh fuck, wait-" he cusses but gets cut off by me slamming the door shut.
I run to the elevator and push the button and it opens right away. When the doors close I break down and can't hold it in anymore. I burst out crying, hot tears running down my cheeks. The elevator door opens and I run to my car. I start the car and step on the gas, wanting to get out of here. I pull my phone out of my pocket and unlock it. The only person I can think of to call right now is my mom. I can barely see with all the tears running down my face. As the phone is ringing, it slips out of my hand and drops underneath the passengers seat. I reach down and try to grab it. As I grab a hold of it I sit straight up.
"Mom-" I say but I'm cut off by the impact of another vehicle crashing into mine.
I brace myself, as I feel the car flip over. I close my eyes and expect my life to flash before my eyes before I'm about to die, but it doesn't. The car skids across the road upside down. I lay there, blood dripping down my face and my vision beginning to go blurry.
"Tris, Tris, honey are you there?" are the last words I hear, before I blackout.
~*~*~*~*~
I wake up, my vision a bit blurry. It is very bright and white. As my vision clears I realize I'm in a hospital bed. I look around from one end to the other. I see my mom outside the room, talking to a doctor. She comes back in and runs to my side when she realizes I'm awake.
"Tris honey, your awake. How are you? Do you feel okay?" she asks worriedly.
"Yeah I'm fine, just a bit of a headache. What did the doctor say to you?" I ask in a hurry wanting to know if anything was wrong.
"He was just telling me that you should be able to leave the hospital tonight, once I sign the papers. It wasn't that serious. You'll have a few cuts and bruises on your face and a major headache, but the doctor gave me a prescription to help with that. He said to get a good night sleep and you should be feeling better by tomorrow" she says.
"Okay, let's get out of here, I want to get back to Chicago" I say remembering why I was here in the first place.
"Alright sweetie, I'm just going to go and sign the release papers. I'll be right back" she says and leaves the room.
I slowly get up, my head pounding and grab my clothes and walk to the washroom to change. I take a long look at myself in the mirror, I see a few cuts on my cheeks and forehead and a couple bruises on my jaw and under my eye. I quickly change and come out. I fold the hospital gown and leave it on the bed. As I walk in the washroom again, leaving it open this time to fix my hair, I hear the door open and close.
"That was fast. I'm all ready to go" I say still in the washroom.
I finish putting my hair in a high pony tail and walk out to see the last person I wanted to see right now.
"What are you doing here?" I question going to the table beside the bed to gather my things.
"I got a call from a police officer. They said in your contacts my name was 'boyfriend' so after they called your mom they called me too. They said you were in a car crash what happened?" he says like he's so innocent.
"Yeah well I don't need you here so you can leave" I say fixing the bed sheets.
"Tris let me explain, you weren't supposed to s-" I cut him off not wanting to hear it.
"I wasn't supposed to see that?! So I was supposed to think you loved me all while you were cheating on me this whole time. Luke I saw it, you were kissing another girl" I scream at him, my eyes beginning to water.
"Tris, give me another chance. I promise I won't mess up this time. Please" he begs looking like he's genuinely pleading with me to give him another chance.
"I know you won't mess up this time," he lets out a shaky breath and smiles slightly "because there isn't going to be a this time" I say staring at him with an emotionless face.
His face drains of colour as he stares at me like I've just told him the worst news in the world. He almost looks angry at me like he was expecting me to just fall into his arms and take him back.
"Tris-" he starts trying to sound calm.
"Luke, I think you should go," I say grabbing my phone and walking towards the door " good bye." and I turn and walk out the door letting it close behind me.
I walk to the front desk where my mom is still signing the papers and talking to the receptionist.
"Are you done signing all the papers, so we can get back home?" I press.
"Yes, honey. One minute" she says.
She signs the last paper and hands them all over. As she picked up the prescription she thanks the receptionist and we walk out of the hospital together.
The car ride home was quite, once I told my mom the whole story about what happened between Luke and I, that I fall asleep listening to the soft hum of the music playing from the radio.
