The Final Countdown

Chapter 11

Mary Ellen Point of View

I climb into the ambulance next to the medic. He immediately starts attaching Hunter up to machines. Eventually, my breathing evens out and my cries turn to hiccups.

When we arrive at the hospital, they take him out of the ambulance and into the emergency room. I try to run in after him, but they hold me back.

"Ma'am you have to stay in the waiting room." They repeat to me over and over again while I scream at them that he is my soulmate and that I need to see him. Eventually, I go to the waiting room. Standing there I see Xavier.

"YOU DID THIS!" I yell at him, "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT."

"I'm so sorry," he whispers, "I'm so so sorry." He starts crying while I walk up to him, pounding on his chest screaming.

"YOU DID THIS! YOU MADE HIM LEAVE! I HA-TE YOU!" I hate that my voice cracked. I collapsed into him, crying. We both couldn't stop crying. We collapsed onto our knees crying.

I didn't realize how long we were there until Logan ran into the room crying with Abby not far behind.

"Where is he? Is he okay?" he immediately started questioning. He then noticed Xavier. He punched Xavier's jaw, knocking him out. He was about to keep going before Abby got in front of him, she started to calm him down. I just sat there on the floor watching it all happen. Logan sees me there, on the verge of a mental breakdown. He rushes over and holds me tight.

"W-Where is Momo?" I ask.

"You were in a car accident, and you are worried about Momo?" He asks. I just nod in response.

"She is fine, she's with my mom," Abby tells me. I nod and lean on my friends, thankful for the support.

"Excuse me, are you Hunter Shaffer's family?" A doctor asks us. I immediately stand up and walk towards him as I wipe my tears.

"Is Hunter gonna be okay?" I ask quietly.

"He had a lot of damage. 3 cracked ribs, a broken arm, and internal bleeding." The doctor says. I start crying harder as Xavier tries to comfort me. I push him off.

"Can I see him? Please," I beg him.

"Of course ma'am." He says, he then leads me down the corridor towards Hunter. He stops at a door, "here he is." He says to me. I walk in the door and break down crying immediately. He looks like death. There are machines all around him some blinking or beeping. I walk towards him and sit in the chair next to his bed. I reach out and grab his hand, it's so cold.

"Hey Hunty," I say, "it's me, Mary Beary. I don't know if you can hear me, but I wanted to let you know that even though we haven't known we are soulmates for long, I love you. I love you so much. Please be ok, you can't die on me. I need you. Please." I break down into sobs, I sit there crying with my head laying against his hand.
