Battle Scars (magcon)

Chapter 3

Cameron's pov

So just like that? He's gone. I can't believe it. I never got to say goodbye, I never got a hug, it just all came to an end.

"I-uhh- I'm gon-gonna  go home. Bye guys." I stutter as I walk out of the hospital. I stumble outside and my vision keeps becoming more blurry from my tears, but I eventually get to a bench and pull out my phone to call mom.

C-"Hey mom, can you come pick me up from the hos-hospital?"

M-"Sure honey, is everything ok?"

C-"I don't want to talk about it right now, and anyways knowing you, you'll figure it out."

M-"Ok sweetie I'll be right there."

I hung up the phone and bawled. I cried because I lost my friend and my brother. I told him everything. My past, relationship problems, family issues, and now he's gone and I have nobody, just like what happened with my high school best friend, Chris. I just keep losing all of my friends, and it's not fair. Nobody's here with me anymore.

"Hey Cam, do you need a ride, because I don't think you should drive while you look like that," Nash walked out to where I was and got sat down beside me.

"Umm, i-i think my moms picking me up, she should be here any moment," I sniffled. He say beside me, both of us trying to find the right words to say. "Ok, well hey, I'll see you soon Ma-Cameron!" He almost called me Matt. "Ok, well, umm, bye brother," I said awkwardly, and continued to wait while he went back into the hospital.

If only they knew. Everyone is so caught up in Matt and what happened to him that they don't even care or want to know about what happened in the other car, except for me. and it was the most terrifying experience of my life. The road was slick after the rain, and the brakes on my old truck weren't working like they should've. The car couldn't have stopped even if it wanted to. I know all of this because, I was driving the other car.
