Was I dead? No I shouldn’t be able to think if I was dead right? Or could i..? What had happened by the way? Oh yeah, car crush with Derek thank to our stupid game of changing stations. Great. Was Derek okay?
-I believe she will be up soon. Call me when she wakes up. A male voice said and I heard footsteps. So someone was talking and I was listening which meant that I wasn’t dead right? When I felt a hand cupping mine I was sure that I wasn’t dead, but I felt so tired. So tired that I couldn’t even open my eyes, or move my hand or talk and my head, my head was hurting really bad. Cassie must be the one holding my hand I was almost sure.
I slowly tried to open my eyes and when I did I instantly regret it, since a blindly white light fall into my eyes. I blinked trying to adapt and when I did I saw Cassie’s worried gaze starring at me.
-Hey. I said, my voice coming out as a whispered
-If you wouldn’t wake I swear I’d kill you. She said making me smile
-How long I was off? Are you alone here? The girls? Did you told them? Did you told mum and dad? Where’s Derek?
-Oh oh easy easy. She teased
-You’ve been off a whole day, the girls and Keith and Max and Gregory are out, no I didn’t told mum and dad since the doctor said you’re gonna be fine although you hit your head pretty hard. She replied each and everyone of my questions. So Keith and Max and Gregory were here but where was Gabriel? And..Wait a minute…She didn’t replied all of my questions..She left one out in particular. Oh no. This must be bad
-Derek? Where is he Cassie where is he? I asked panicked feeling a knot on my throat. Then she lowered her gaze and bit her lip. Oh no. Something was definitely wrong. I already felt tears coming to my eyes.
-Is he okay? I asked my voice not steady at all. Finally she lifted her gaze and look me in the eye
-Listen he…He need surgery. He..he had a hematoma in his head because as you did he it his head on the windscreen of the car. She shrug.
-You were lucky to not hit as much as he did. I tried my best not to burst in tears. No this wasn’t happening
-It was both his fault! It was both our fault for playing with the radio! No no no he cant..h cant.. I couldn’t help it. I start crying and Cassie pulled me into a hug
-Shhh he’s gonna be fine. She tried to encourage me but I just couldn’t calm down. I was shaking. It wasn’t fair it just wasn’t fair.
A soft knock on the door made Cassie pull away and go to open the door to reveal….Gabriel. He motioned for Cassie to get out and after she looked at me I nodded and she walked out. Gabriel closed the door and came to sat on my bed beside me
-How are you? He asked and I swear I’ve never heard his voice so soft and caring
-Fine..I’m fine but…Derek.. I shook my head as I felt another tear rolling down my cheek. He lifted my face carefully and I met his beautiful green eyes
-He’s gonna be fine okay? He will get into surgery in a bit and he’ll be just fine so you two could make the perfect couple
And just like he was back to his jerky self. How could he something like that when Derek’s life was in danger.
-Unbelievable. I said under my breath and smack his hand away. He looked at me confused
-What’s wrong with you? His life is in danger and you’re telling me about how we would make the perfect couple? I said angrily
-I just wanted to say he’ll be fine. He protested
-Yeah with irony. And what’s your problem with me and him hanging out or whatever? I hissed. At that he rolled his yes smirking
