Derek's P.O.V

Its been a week now and I still can't sync to the fact that Ethan was hit by a car right before my eyes and I couldn't do anything. I prayed to god that I didn't see Vince; if I set my eyes upon him I'll kill him right on the spot. Even though it may look like everyone hates Ethan, they don't; When they heard what had happened to him some cried, others prayed for him and some of which didn't really know him went and visited him at the hospital. They really do have a soft spot for him in their hearts.

It was lunch time when I spotted Lidia sitting under a tree all by herself. The closer I got up to her, the more I noticed that she was crying, " What's wrong Lidia" I asked concerned.

" It's all my fault" she sniffled

" What's Your fault?" I asked sitting beside her

" Ethan is broken up right now and its all because of me" she cried in my arms.

" No, Don't say that O.K. it's not your fault" I said trying to cheer her up.

" B-but if I hadn't-" she said while I cut her off.

" But nothing, Ethan chose to save you and I'm sure he doesn't regret it one bit" I said

" Maybe your right" she said wiping the tears away from her cheeks.

" Wanna go look for him?" I asked her.

" Yesss" she screamed as we went back into the school to fetch our bags.

* At the hospital*

Lidia's P.O.V

Even though Derek tried to cheer me up, I still think that I was the cause of this, His parents would hate me forever if anything were to happen to him. We got to room 568 where he was boarded. " Derek, can I talk to him alone for a sec?"

" Sure, go on " he said as he took a seat outside.

I went inside to see Ethan on his bed looking through his window from the bed. You can tell that he's Pretty Spaced out. I closed the door behind me and that's when he came back from La-La Land. " Hey, Aren't you supposed to be at school." he laughed.

" Yes but I just wanted to ask you something" I said as the tears were fighting their way out f my eyes.

" And what is that?"

" Do you regret saving me?" I asked as his face expression said ' What the fuck are you asking me'

" Of course not, I wouldn't regret that no matter the amount of pain I am feeling, in fact I'd do it again" he said

My face lightened up as it felt like a really heavy burden was lifted off my back. a smile had finally fought it's way to the surface of my face we sat there for about half hour. " Where's Derek?" he asked.

" He came with me, I'm gonna go get him" I told him as I had forgotten all about him. I went back to the area where I last saw him but he wasn't there. I took out my phone to call him.

* The Conversation between Derek and Lidia*

Lidia: Where are you, Ethan want s you.

Derek: I'm gonna kill him!

Lidia: Who?

Derek: Vince, I'm gonna rip him apart for this

Lidia: Don't do this right now, Ethan will be stressed out which will result in him staying in the hospital for longer.

Derek: Fine!!!. But I will get him even if it takes me a billion years for what he has done to him.

* End of Conversation*

I could tell that Derek was in a High Level of Temper. but he managed to cool down after what I had told him of what would've happened to Ethan if he was going to deal with Vince. He'd have to wait another time when Ethan is no longer in the Hospital.

I went back to Ethan's room. " Derek Left" I said leaning my mouth to one side Of my face.

" Where has he gone" he asked me. I can't lie to him I have to tell him the truth. But how will he react. " He was going to kill Vince" I crooked my mouth again. The strangest thing came from his mouth. " Serves him right, He tried to kill you" he exclaimed.

" And besides now we're even" he smirked leaving me puzzled there.

" What?"

" Hello, Have you forgotten how we met?" he exaggerated.

" Oh, when that car tried to hit you while you were walking home from school on the first day and I pushed you out of the way, just like you did to me, but this time you knew that it would hurt you" I said as my voice cracked, realizing the similar accidents that we saved each other's lives from.

" Correction, Suicide attempt not accident" he said as he never told me about it.

" What do you mean by Suicide, You never told me that" I scolded him.

" Well now is a good time, I wont cry either" he promised.

Ethan's P.O.V

" The reason I moved to Nashville is because, I was tired of the bullying in Benjamin Jnr. High ( B.J.H.). So my Parents moved from Mitchell city to here. I thought it would be better. but the first day of school proved me wrong. I was walking in an empty hallway when I felt someone grabbed my wrist and covered my mouth. He dragged me in the janitor's closet and started hitting me like I had done something to him. " I heard you're gay" he panted.

" Is it true" he asked me. " Yes i am" I baffled

" Well guess what, I don't like gay guys" he told me as he tried to swallow.

" I will make your life a Living hell" he told me

" Don't worry I'll end it today " i told him

" What do you mean by that. huh you little Faggot" he teased

" I'll just run out into a car or something on the way home" i sighed trying to get up.

" You can't do that" he shook me " for a second i thought he was concerned. " so who will I Pick on when you're in hell" he teased.

"I ran out as fast as I could but with me in pain slowed me down. He caught up to me and grabbed my shirt but i yanked it off with a karate chop and ran out of the school. i couldn't take it anymore, i try to run away from bullies but one always seems to find me. I was half way home when i saw a car speeding up to my direction. i jumped in front of it . when it reached a about three feet from me, You pushed me out of the way and I'm glad you did"

" So i guess we're even now huh"

" Yep i guess we are... for now " I smirked
