"Please, I'm sorry"

Secrets and Faults

****RYE'S POV****

I left the room and went to the kitchen. I took off my shirt and started to clean the blood off of me. I wince at the pain but I deserve it. I broke her heart and now I can't take it back.

Once I got all the blood off me, I sat down in a chair with a bag of frozen peas on my fist.
I called Nele.
"Rye you shouldn't be calling" she whispered down the phone.
"I know I shouldn't but where is Trish now?" I said curious and worried. All I saw after the car hit her was people crowding around her and ambulance lights flashing from the top of the street.
"She's in hospital" Nele said.
"What injuries does she have?" I said with pain in my voice.
"She's on life support, Rye. The doctor said that she has two broken ribs, a fractured leg and the reason she is on life support is because her breathing is very slow. Almost death like. She has had a very bad hit to the head but no damage has been done to the brain" she sighed, Nele sounded hurt.
My heart sank. T on life support. A tear fell from my eye.
"Is Jorja there?" I asked.
"Yeah, why?" She replied.
"Put her on the phone" I said quickly.
"I swear down Rye. You better get down to this hospital now!" Jorja said.
"I can't" I replied.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because me and T aren't together anymore. I cheated on her. And I'm really sorry about that and trust me. If I could I would be down there right now. And if I could I would take it all back" I said tears streaming down my face.
"Okay! And you better be sorry! Look I'm staying here tonight. Nele, Jack and Andy are going home. I'll text you when they have gone. You can come down" Jorja said.

"Thank you!" I said. A weak smile appeared.

Hours had past before I got the text off of Jorja. But as soon as I did I hopped into an Uber and went straight to the hospital. Jorja met me outside and took me to T's room.

And there she lied. My princess. The realisation of her being on life support was still hard to believe. She was my life support. Now she's on life support.
I cried. Seeing all of this was too much. Seeing all the damage I had done to someone I loved.  And still love. My heart shatters even more.

"Why did you cheat on her Ryan?" Jorja asked. "I don't know. I guess I was missing her but I was angry at her. We had a petty little argument over the phone and I got mad. My ex had come over without letting me know and she invited herself in. She tried explaining to me about what happened with her boyfriend and how they just broke up. And she then poured us a drink and we got drunk. Then one thing lead to another. And yeah... I regret it." I said.
"Yeah. You better! She loved you Rye. More than anything" she said.
"I know. And I'm sorry" I told her "Look can I do something quickly?"
"Yeah, what is it?" She asked.
"I need to check her" I replied.
"What do you mean?" Jorja said confused.
"I need to check if she's done it again. Can I check?" I said.
"Yeah you can. I was gonna do it but I tried to put it off. I can't stand the thought of her doing that again. I remember finding out about it" She said.

I walked over to T. I lifted up her arm and there they were. New ones and old ones. All on her arm. This is my fault. I made her do this again.

"Has she Rye?!" Jorja panicked "Has she?"
