The Arrogant Player

Part 24

Your face was buried into Chris' chest, sobbing.

You couldn't breathe.

You couldn't believe what happened to him.

Sirens came closer and closer until you looked up to see ambulances and many cars pulling up. The people from the ambulance ran over and you moved off of Chris.

They had a stretcher but you just shook your head, "It's no use...."

But they didn't listen to you as they picked him up and put him on it, and walking him to the ambulance.

You got up and almost collapsed- your legs were so wobbly and trembling so immensely.

But you regained your balance and stumbled over to the ambulance, trying to get in.

"Sorry, only friends and family," one man said.

"BUT IM HIS GIRLFRIEND!" you wailed but he just shook his head and closed the ambulance door.

And then it drove away with sirens blaring.

You WERE his girlfriend.

Not anymore.

He was.....you couldn't bring yourself to think the horrifying thought.

The tears continued to poor when suddenly you turned to see someone running to the scene.

You wiped your eyes because your tears were making your sight blurry.

It was Sebastian.

"What happened?? Are you okay? Are you hurt??" he shouted as he ran towards you.

"I-I'm o-kay...but Chris is not," your voice trembled.

"What?? Is he going to the hospital?? Is he going to get help??"he looked so worried...

"He's on his way to the hospital right now," you said.

"Okay then let's go..." Sebastian said, grabbing your arm and trying to pull you in the direction of his car.

"But...it's no use," you peeped out.

His eyebrows furrowed in confusion, but you could see in his eyes that he was terrified.

Terrified of the words that you were about to share with him.

You were just as terrified.

Because once you said them out loud, you knew that they had to be true.

Once you said them out loud, you would know that it was real.

And that it was all your fault. Sebastian swallowed hard, "What are you saying?"

"Chris....he- he didn't make it..." you said, tears streaming down your face as you almost choked on the words.

And then you said the three words that you had been dreading.

The three words that made this whole nightmare a reality, "Chris is dead."

Sebastian's eyes widened and you could see his pain.

Tears began to stream down his face.

"He...he died in my arms," you added, looking to the ground as you held back another sob.

"No...they're going to save him...come on," he grabbed your arm and pulled you to his car.

You knew he was in denial.

You couldn't quite believe it yourself.

You wished that Sebastian was right- that they could save him, but as the time ticked by it seemed more and more hopeless.
