Truth or dare: A Zane Hijazi and Heath Hussar fanfiction

10: What If...

Zane Pov

I turned off the camera and sat back in my seat.
It was hard to believe what had happened, but it did.

Now I know why Heath has been so standoffish and nervous with me.
He's seen what this memory card holds.

At first all I wanted to delete the video and run away.

But what would that do, nothing? Absolutely nothing.
Heath still would know what's on the memory card even if the video didn't exist anymore.

I need to talk to him about this.
I'll probably wait until he's home and feeling better.

I decided to put down the camera and focus on the unconscious man in the hospital bed.
I see his chest go up and down slightly, giving me some, but little, reassurance that he's okay.
I stare at his face hoping for some sort of movement, but no luck.

As I stare and wait for Gabbie to get back, and can't help but the thing about every single outcome. Some good and some bad, but mostly bad.

What if he doesn't wake up, what if he does wake up but doesn't remember anything...

What if this, what if that, what if this and that, what if nothing, what if everything.....

What if

What if!!

WHAT IF!!!!!!!

**Breath**

What if are 2 words that I didn't know you could hate so much.
They are so many negative aspects of that word.
It means that there is a bad thing are most likely to come.

Younger me would love those words. It meant that there was a surprise and in a good way. Now it means my best friend might..........

Might die

After what feels like an eternity has passed of my thinking of the worst, Gabbie finally comes back into the room.

"Hey" she chocks out as her eyes fill up with soon to be tears
"Hi," I say with zero emotion.
"So... I called David, Scott, Josh, and Jason. They are gonna call everyone else and tell them. David, Liza, and Scott are coming over. I'm not sure about everybody else." She says clearer
"Mm K" I mumble to her.

**Awkward silence**

"Also the doctor said that he should be able to come home in a few days to a week," she says, trying to put excitement into her voice

I contain myself from screaming.
Screaming in excitement, and screaming in fear.
I can't wait for him to come home and be well.
But that means that I have to talk to him about the video.

I just love him so much that I can't stand the thought of ruining our friendship.

Friendship

It feels weird to think about that.
He's my best friend, but so much more.
It's so hard to explain.

It's like the love you feel when you're dating somebody, but so much stronger than that.
It's this weird undying love that I have for him.

And even when we have been through so much together, that feeling didn't go anywhere.

Then I keep on thinking about the video.
Did that ruin our relationship?
I think so but I have no way of knowing until he wakes up.

"Zane, are you okay there?" Gabby said after she waved her hand in front of my face
"huh... oh yeah I'm fine. I'm just stressed out." I say with my hands in my lap
"No, you're not. Okay well yeah, you are, but not about this. I can read your face and body language. I mean you never do that with your hands unless your hiding something" she says with her hand on her hip.

I don't know what to say, how do I respond to that.
I didn't know that I did that with my hands when I lie.

"Zane, please tell me what's up? And also what was so important about that stupid camera" she says and motions to how I'm holding it

Oh no. No no no no

I can't say anything about the camera, she will kill me, he will kill me.

HALP!!

Omg, I was writing this and it had 666 words and I was like yus but now it has 699 words.
Lol, damn it.
