Then everything turned black.

I woke up in the hospital, and I couldn't remember what happened. I was really lost. I sat up and just waited. The room was pretty empty. Then the doctor came into my room.

"Nicole, how are you?" He said whilst filling in a few papers. He looked at me and smiled, knowing I had no idea what was going on

"I- I don't really know... What happened?" I told him, and I seriously don't know. I only remember one thing, and that is the car speeding towards me.

"I would call your emergency contact, but since that's the person that caused your accident I thought it wouldn't really be appropriate." He told me, I didn't really remember who my emergency contact was.

But then it hit me. It was Paulo.

"Wait, PAULO CAUSED THIS?!" I yelled. I started to panic. He calmed me down.

"Yes, I'll stay out of that. But anyways. You have a broken leg and a fractured arm. So you cannot do anything too serious for at least 1 month. You Will have a check-up every two weeks until you've recovered."

I couldn't talk. I asked him for my phone and he gave it to me. I called Paulo but he didn't answer.

I called him over and over again, waiting for an answer. Then he answered me.

"Baby please, I'm so sorry! It was an accident. Really!" He said. I could tell he was stressed. But he fucking ran me over and obviously hoped he wouldn't get caught.

"I hope you are happy with yourself. I have one broken leg and a fractured arm. Good job. You didn't even visit me OR take me to the hospital by yourself."

"Babe, please!! They arrested me! I would if I could. Sorry, seriously! They don't believe me, please tell them I'm innocent! I was speeding because the road was empty!" I just hung up.

I texted my dad and asked if he could come to meet me. And I said it was urgent.

"Yeah. I know. I don't have time for you and your lover now. I'm in Rome." Is what he texted back.

He would never do this, when I had an accident he would be here before I even woke up. I was confused. Really confused.

I was alone in the hospital room when all of a sudden my friend Amanda came in.

"Who, how and when?!" She yelled. We hugged for a while and she looked at me, waiting for me to talk. I couldn't speak. Finding out your boyfriend ran you over is just a horrible feeling, obviously

"Paulo, accident and yesterday..." I mumbled. She was speechless. Just like me. We just looked at each other confused.

"Do you think he is innocent? Apparently, I decide if he goes free or not?" I asked. I would love to let him go, but I feel like I will regret it.

"Let him go, I mean it was an accident right?" She told me. And she was right. So I said that we just should stop talking about it.

After a few hours of just spilling the tea and laughing she left. I asked the nurse when I could leave, and she said in a week. I was disappointed. I really wanted to leave so bad.

"You can leave tomorrow, but only if your parent or guardian checks you out." The nurse said. I took up my phone and called my dad in panic. Praying that he would come back for me. He answered quickly, and I didn't expect that he was going to come back.

"I'm in the airport Nicole, I had no idea! You are all over the newspapers. I thought you wanted me to come back home because of Paulo. I'll be there in two hours, bye!"

I was shocked. He didn't even know about this. 

And I was in the newspapers?

A month later

My leg and arm were all recovered, Paulo and I have lost contact and I am living life at it's finest. No boyfriend, no crazy ex, just excitement, and joy. It was amazing not having any issues. 

I went out with Amanda to the mall. We sat down at Starbucks and just talked. It was amazing. We laughed a lot and annoyed the other customers. We didn't really care, because it was a long time ago we had this fun. We were both single and taking a break from relationships.

"Oh shit! Nicole, I really got to go, my mom and I are going to a wedding tonight and my hair stylist is already at my house. I'm sorry sis but I gotta bounce. Love you, remember no boys!"

We said goodbye to each other and she left. I sat there and drank my coffee whilst looking at my phone. 

Then all of a sudden, someone came and sat down in front of me. 

"Hey Nicole, missed me?" 

It was Jason.
