After everyone got in the car, which seemed like an hour, I took off at full speed. That was my best friend probably crunched up in his truck. I prayed the whole way there. He would be fine, I knew he would. I suddenly got a nervous and I rubbed my thumb against my index finger and felt my friendship ring Will had given me and I knew that I had done something wrong. I should have trusted him; she might have changed for all I knew. Tears streamed down my face...Yes! I had worn the waterproof mascara. As I pulled into the crash scene all the cherished memories flashed through my mind. The time we met, the time he came to my house at three in the morning just to tell me happy birthday, recently when he called about Tallulah, and finally most recently when I spied on him and tried to make him jealous with Gabe like an idiot. I flung myself out of the car causing my phone to fall on the shoulder of the intersection where I parked. I didn't bother to pick it up I just rushed over to my bloody and banged up best friend. The paramedics were putting him in their truck.
I jumped in with him. As the workers shot me crazed looks I spouted orders to Lorain, "Take my car and explain to my parents, tell them not to come to the hospital." They would hate to see him like this. I alone could barely withstand it.
I took one glance over my shoulder at Will's truck with nearly half of it crushed in, I was literally thanking God it was the passenger side, and then at my unscathed new Range Rover and took his good hand in mine. His eyes lit up and his heart beats picked up on the machine. I gave him I quick smile, but had to look away his forehead had a huge gash in it and his whole face was puffy, red, covered in scratches,forming bruises, and blood. I still was clueless about what happened, but it could wait I was only worried about Will.
"Do you think we drive this thing past twenty, my grandma can run faster than this?" I questioned.
"No miss we are going ninety. I'm sorry." she replied. I just nodded my head.
When we arrived at the hospital the nurses came to me and explained that they needed me to keep him awake for at least an hour in case he went into a coma. Will's parents weren't coming because they were in China on a business trip and a mudslide caused them to be forced to stay there. Once everyone was out of the room I stepped over to the side of Will's bed and examined his body. He had fifteen stitches in his forehead, an IV in his arm, and a cast on his left leg. His eyes followed mine.
"I'm so sorry." I said breaking down on to my knees. I couldn't handle it anymore. It was my fault, I caused all this he was probably driving back home and he was angry at me so he wasn't paying attention to the road.
"Shai, get up it's not your fault. Don't you ever think that again." He said.
When I gathered enough will power to get off the cold floor I stood up to see Will's waiting arms. I hugged him like I hadn't seen him in months. I didn't want to let go. He just held on to me and ran his fingers through my hair.
I still had to keep him awake so I finally released him and walked over to the couch in the small room. For the first time since we had been in the hospital I looked around and took in the room. Will was lying in a large hospital bed, there was a small loveseat and recliner, and I bathroom in the far corner.
"So...how was your date?" I shyly asked.
"If you want me to tell you she is messed up... she is. All she did was talk crap on you and let's just say she wanted to have my baby." Will alleged. We both started laughing uncontrollably; I was rolling on the floor crying. Everything was funnier with Will. "By the way I'm supposed keep you awake." I said controlling my laughter. "Oh now you sound like Kayleigh. Just kidding come lay over here with me." He said wearing a grin I had known since the fifth grade. I skipped over to the side of his bad and waited for him to scoot over and layed on my stomach and put my arms under me to keep me up. Will looked at me with caring eyes, he was so kind after what I did, and I had to look away from the kindness.
"You know I was spying on you right?" I questioned.
"Yeah, I knew as soon as you told me to go get ready for the date, but I didn't know there was going to be guys involved." He said with a sad grimace. "I'm so sorry. They weren't supposed to be involved but we saw Gabe and Collin there and we started talking so I came up with a plan to get you jealous." I said softly. "Oh it's okay I did the same when you went out with Kingston last week." He said laughing.
We stayed up untill three o' clock and fell asleep talking. When I woke up I had a ton of room and Will was crammed up against the rail with my head on his chest, I was still on top of the blankets and in what I wore to the movies. I was so comfortable but I rolled over and peeked at the clock. It was five so I figured the nurses were about to come in soon and my parents. I put on my shoes and headed into the hallway to find a nurse." Ma'am can I bring him breakfast?" I asked. "Oh yeah. Most definantly." she said sweetly. I called my mom to bring me my car and to watch Will while he slept. When she got there I hugged her and went to pick up Krispy Kreme for Will.
