Hey guys, I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in forever but I've just been so busy! Seeing that it's summer, I will try to update a lot more. And oh my god I saw The Fault In Our Stars on Friday and it's just the feels. It was soooo amazing!

Chapter 9

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

~Luke's P.O.V.~

I woke up to a light shaking.

"Luke wake up." Patrycja said in a hushed voice.

I rubbed my eyes and stretched, I looked over at Monika. And here I thought that it was just a dream.

Monika was still sleeping peacefully and her head still banged up.

"What's going on?" I asked Patrycja curiously, wondering why everyone was leaving the room.

"All of us need to go out to the waiting room, Monika needs to have surgery."

"What? Why?" I was practically shouting at this point.

"They found glass lodged in her head, if they don't get it out of her head safely then she won't make it." Patrycja said calmly, as if she'd been saying it to everyone all day.

I sat back down on the chair and pulled my hair.

"You ok?" She asked me.

"Yeah, just let me grab my stuff. I'll be right out, you can go, don't wait for me." I replied slowly.

"Ok." Patrycja said with a look of sympathy before she left the room.

"God damn it!" I shouted as I threw my phone at the wall. Good thing I had put an otterbox phone case on it.

I looked over at Monika as I cried. Why did she have to hit the car? Why did she push me? I should've gotten hit by that car. That should be me lying in that hospital bed. Not Monika.

I walked up to Monika and leaned over her. I kissed the top of her head lightly, then her forehead, and then her left cheek. A tear of mine fell onto Monika's face and I wiped it off.

I kissed Monika once again on the forehead and whispered "I love you.". Not like she could hear me anyways.

I picked up my stuff and walked out of the room. I wiped the tears off of my face and went straight to the bathroom.

I peed and washed my hands and face. I walked out of the bathroom and saw Patrycja sitting by Michael and the guys sitting by Michael.

I walked over and sat by Ashton. "You know that you guys don't need to stay, right?" I asked Ashton as I sighed.

"Yeah, we're going to leave soon so we catch some sleep. We'll come back tomorrow morning, we can bring you some clothes." Ashton said in a voice of sympathy.

"Yeah, sure." I replied rubbing my eyes.

"You ready to go?" Calum asked standing up and stretching.

"Yeah sure." Ashton replied before turning and looking at me, "Hang in there buddy." He said before he pulled Michael up.

"I will." I said slowly. I watched the guys say bye to Patrycja and leave the hospital. I stood up and started walking out of the waiting room.

"Where are you going?" Patrycja asked.

"Coffee." I replied to her. I walked down the sterile, white hall until i reached the room that had a sign that read Coffee Room. I turned into the room and popped a vanilla flavored coffee cup into the Keurig and put it on the large cup setting. I grabbed two French Vanilla flavored Half&Half cups and waited for my coffee to finish brewing.

Flashes of the incident kept appearing in my mind. The sound of Monika hitting the car, the sound of the glass shattering, Cameron speeding off, Monika passing out in my arms, the heartrate monitor beeping. I felt a tear run down my face. "GOD DAMNIT!" I yelled as i picked up my hot coffee and slammed it against the wall. "SHIT!" I yelled as I burnt my whole hand. I placed my hands on my temples and pulled the skin upwards. "Why, why why?" I walked around the room asking the same question.

I pulled my quiffed blond hair as I continued to talk to myself. "Why did she hit the car. I should've hit the car. That's what he wanted. He wanted me to be in that hospital bed." I leaned against the corner of the wall in the room and sank down to the point where I was sitting on the floor and started sobbing.

"Oh my God Luke!" Patrycja gasped as she walked into the room looking at me crying and the coffee on the wall.

She walked over to me as I was sobbing and helped me up and then hugged me. "That should be me in the hospital bed." I cried onto her shoulder.

"I know Luke, this is a difficult process for us to get through, but we all need to be strong." Patrycja tried encouraging me.

"Ok." I said as I wiped the tears off my face.

"Here lets put your hand in cold water." Patrycja said as she looked at my hand which was burnt badly. She fished out a bowl and put cool water in it. Patrycja walked over to the table which I was sitting at and put down the bowl.

I put my hand in the water as she walked away and grabbed another bowl, a sponge, and soap. She filled the bowl up with water and put soap in it and started cleaning the coffee up.

"Thanks." I said as she was cleaning up.

"Huh?" She asked clearly stating that she hadn't been paying attention.

"Thanks for all of this." I stated pointing out to the bowl which my hand was soaking in and the wall which she had just cleaned.

"Yeah, sure no problem." Patrycja said half smiling.

"Ok, let's get that hand checked out." She said to me giving me a wet towel to wrap it in. We walked back down the hall to the reception desk. "Um hi, yeah, he burnt his hand pretty badly on coffee." Patrycja told the lady as I unwrapped my hand.

"Ok, the doctor will be with you shortly." The receptionist smiled at us.

The doctor walked out right as we turned around. "I overheard that you burnt your hand, here lets check it out." I unwrapped my hand once again, unveiling the blisters that were forming all around my hand. "Yeah let's get that wrapped so it won't get any worse."

I walked behind the doctor that was taking care of Monika before giving her up to the surgeon. "So how exactly did this happen?" Doctor Schneider asked curiously.

"Well, I went to make a coffee"

"And I went to talk to him and I must have scared him seeing that he jumped and spilled the coffee everywhere." Patrycja looked at me half smiling showing that what happened could stay just between us.

He put a gauze on my hand and wrapped it. "So, how's Monika doing?" I asked him concerned about her.

"Do you want to know the truth?"
