Noah:

I squinted my eyes when i opened my eyes in a bright white room. My head was hurting and i sat up in bed just when i woke up,  feeling tubes and cables stuck to me

“hey hey buddy,  calm down, you’re fine” A familiar voice said just in the distance.

Fuck,  not only my head hurts,  every part of my body does. I frown and hold my head between my hands.

After a few minutes adjusting to the pain,  the lights and the noise, i look to my side to find Chad looking at me worried.

“Chad” I muttered “Wh-what happened? where are we?” I asked confused looking down at my arms and the IV on it.

“You are in the hospital,  You guys are lucky you made it out alive,  You had a car accident” Chad says scratching the back of his neck

“Valerie! OH MY GOD! where is she?” I suddenly remember everything and i fear for her life

“She… she hasn’t woken up,  if it took you 3 days to wake up,  god know how long it’d take her, she um… she had it pretty bad,  apparently she didn’t---”

“Yeah she didn’t have her seatbelt on ,  she was looking for snacks” I say impatiently and i sit back up and start taking everything off my body,  i needed to see her.

“Hey hey what are you doing!” He said alarmed trying to stop me.

“Where is she?” i asked death serious,  stripp ing out everything that kept me tied to this bed.

“Hey,  you can go see her later,  she is just down the hall, and she won’t be able to see you” He said trying to make me stay here,  but i need to see her.

I take out the last iv out,  some drops of medicine and blood coming out of it. and i stood up from the bed. There was a mirror in the back of the door. I did look terrible,  bruises on my face, stitched cuts. no broken bones at least.

I ran down the hall,  checking every window hoping to see Valerie and just when i’m about to give up i see Chris walking out of a room with puffy eyes.

“Chris,  Oh my god,  I’m so happy to see you” I say giving him a hug and he sighs hugging back

“I’m glad to see you standing,  are you sure is okay you are here? an hour ago when i went to visit you ,  you were passed out” Chris said letting out a sad chuckle and i bit my lip hard.

“Where is she? is she okay?” i ask worried and held the door knob.

“Noah,  she’s not okay” He sighed tearing up and i got more alarmed “You might get a little shook… she…” I didn’t care and entered the room immediately.

I fell to my knees frozen seeing her. There were so many things plugged into her that you could barely see what was Valerie and what was a machine.

she had a burn in her right arm and a casquet in the other,  She had part of her head wrapped with bandage like she had had brain surgery and her face was covered with little cuts from the window . How could i have gotten out with a scratch and she was like this.

I couldn’t even stand from the floor and i just covered my face with my arms to try to hide my crying face,  but my loud and needy sobs were the only thing that could be heard in the quiet hospital room.

I heard the door opening behind me and Chris kneeled down beside me hugging me from the side and rubbing my back,  I must look pathetic, in a hospital robe, crying on the floor.

“Hey..” He said in a calming voice “She’ll get better” he patted my back with a sad smile and his own eyes full of tears

“W-what if she doesn't? or.. or what if she never wakes up? i..i can’t live without her Chris” I say not bothering to hide my tears anymore and he only hugged me tighter.

“She will” he sighed “She’s a strong woman,  she will get out of this” He said trying to calm me down and i just couldn’t. I should have never taken her to that road trip,  this was all my fault. She was like that because of me.

Just when i managed to stop my tears and walk over to the bed to hold Valerie’s hand,  the door opened and i saw the very familiar face of Valerie’s mother.

“What are you doing here?” she asked mad her eyes were puffy like Chris’ and mine.

“I… I wanted to see how was she” I only replied and she walked to me grabbing my robe

“THIS IS YOUR FAULT!!!” she screamed and i sighed not knowing what to say “YOU DID THIS TO MI NIÑAA” she started sobbing and hitting my chest,  it hurted alot due to my own injuries and Valerie’s father walked to her to pull her away

“Mi amor… tranquila… shhh… nuestra bebé se pondrá mejor,  ya vas a ver… no llores, por favor” (Darling, calm down… shh… our baby will get better,  you’ll see, please don’t cry anymore) he said rubbing her back and hugging her while he muted me ‘I’m sorry’ with his lips.

I only sighed and rubbed my face to get rid of the tears forming in my face and i walked outside of the room,  seeing Andrea, Valerie’s sister, sitting outside

“Noah… I’m glad to see you awake” She said in happy tone,  well at least her sister and her father don’t hate me….

I took a seat next to her and looked down not even knowing what to do with my thoughts “It’s my fault… I took her to that cabin,  I … i let her take off her seatbelt, i should’ve stop the car when she was looking for the snacks, i…” i started crying looking down seeing the tears falling on my ridiculous hospital clothing

“Hey sweetie” she said holding my hand and when i looked up she dried my tears with the back of her hand “It’s not your fault,  We all know you weren’t planning to drive your car off a cliff, even my mom, she just wants someone to blame” she chuckled “It’s called an accident for something,  nobody saw it coming, okay?”

I sighed shaking my head and groaning frustrated “She… she is so hurt and she…”

“She will get better,  she’s alive, it’s all that matters” she says rubbing my back and I hear a cough from behind me. When i look up there’s an old man on with a coat,  he is for sure a doctor

“Mr. Centineo? May i ask why did you leave your room without permission?” He asked raising an eyebrow and i sighed

“i…”

“You are going back there and we’ll make a physical and psychological examination” he said mad and i stood up “Jesus,  these kids don’t know how to behave anymore” he said shaking his head and motioning me to follow him.

I did as told but i could only think about my Valerie,  and what would my life be if she doesn’t wake up.
