Matts POV
"Doc i-is she gonna wake up." I stuttered as the heart monitor kept at the same slow pace.
"Her impact was not as critical as Cameron's but I'm not promising anything." The doctor went to Payton's bedside.
She had been in a coma for the last few weeks. I visited everyday, even if I hated seeing her in this state. She had cuts and bruises all over her body. She broke her nose and her arm.
"Well. I've got to see another patient. Inform a nurse if anything changes." The doctor smiled and exited the room. I went to Payton's bedside and knelt down so I was her level.
"Hey Pay. If your listening. I just want you to know, I've always loved you. Since we were little I loved how your hair fell perfectly on your shoulders or how you would always beat my in basketball. But on thing will never change, your always be mine." I finished, waiting for a response.
Nothing but silence I got up and went to the and opened it a jar before I heard a shrill voice call my name.
"Is that true Matt?" Payton asked. "Do you love me?" She repeated.
Payton's POV
"Is that true Matt?" I asked. "Do you love me?" I repeated.
"Yes. Yes!" Matt rushed over. "A million times YES!" He hugged me.
"Good." I smiled.
"Why's that?" He asked with a confused expression on his face.
"Because I love you too." I chuckled as Matt's face lite up with glee. "Hey Matt?" I questioned.
"Yes Payton." He replied.
"Where's Cameron?" I asked. His face immediately went white, and he looked on the verge of tears.
"C-cam?" Matt choked. I nodded. "Well... You see.. Cam... He's in a more permanent state." Matt answered.
"What do you mean?" I asked not sure if I wanted to know the answer.
"Room 307." He replied before he left the room. I unhooked all the wires from my body and pulled myself out of the hospital bed. As soon as I did I got a headache.

I left my room and went down the hall. I entered his room to find Cameron with cuts scattered across his body, a left leg held up in the air and a gas mask over his mouth. My eyes widened.
"No." I whispered feeling my eye's water. "No." I said a little louder. "NO CAMERON NO!" I was screaming now. I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. I knew it was Matt.
"IT SHOULD OF BEEN ME!" My eye's gushing with water. "IT SHOULD OF BEEN ME!" I tried to get to Cameron, but Matt was dragging me away.
"No." I flipped Matt off. "Get off of me. GET OFF!" I screamed in hysterics. He let go and I ran to his bed side. I knelt down and whispered. "It shoulda been me."
