Ben's P.O.V
I wake up to an empty bed, it feels strange but I just guess Mel is in the shower. As I roll over to her side of the bed I notice a little note on her pillow. It has a heart on the top, I unfold it and read it... I read it again and again.. A thousand thoughts running through my head. It was simple, only five words but those five caused my life to flash before my eyes.
'I'm sorry, I love you'
I run out of bed in just my boxers and go straight to the bathroom but to my surprise she's not there. I look around the whole house but still no sign of her.
My heart rate is increasing by the second and my head is spinning. I groan to myself and put my hands on either side of my head...
"Think Ben where would she go?.." I mutter to myself.
That's when I look out the window and see her car has disappeared.
"No!" I shout.
She can't drive yet! She's only had one driving lesson! I run upstairs and throw some clothes on, pick my phone up and see hers on the bedside table.
"Fuck sake Mel!" I mutter.
I pick up my car keys and throw them in my pocket before running down the stairs and out to my car.
I start the car and try to focus on where she would go. I head out of the road and to the nearest main road, that's when I see it...
The roads tapped off by police tape, blue lights flashing everywhere... I have to get closer.
I pull the car up on the side of the road, I have a horrible feeling about this... As I walk closer I see it... I see Mel's car overturned in the middle of the road. I feel sick but I run towards the sight.
"Excuse me sir you can't come through."
A policeman holds me back.
"That's Mel! That's my girlfriend in that car!" I scream.
"You can't go in there. But you may be able to help me with something..."
"What?!" I shout.
I didn't mean to be so rude but I just want to see if she's ok.
"Woah calm down lad. Are you sure that's you girlfriend?"
"Positive! I bought her the car!"
"Right, right. She's young so does she live with parents maybe?"
"Her mum." I try to keep calm to answer the questions.
"Do you have a contact number?"
"Yes..."
"Wrote here please sir."
I take the pen and paper of him and write down the phone number.
"Please let me see her." I cry again.
A policeman jogs over and I can't stop the tears running down my face.
"The girl is leaving in a ambulance she's in a life threatening situation here. Make sure it's clear to get through." He speaks to the other man quickly.
"Can I go with her?! Please." I look at them.
They look at each other and then the first man sighs.
"Mark would you kindly escort this man to the ambulance the young girl is situated in please?"
I walk under the tap and across the police scene with the policeman. My heart sinks as I see the car up closer. I feel the sick rise as I look at the blood.
"She's in there. Be brave." The policeman rests his hand on my shoulder and gives me a sympathetic smile.
I step into the ambulance, the paramedic smiling at me.
"So who do we have here?" She's rushing around Mel.
"Ben, I'm Mel's boyfriend." I look at Mel's face. Her eyes are closed and her chest is barely moving. My heart sinks even further, it feels like it shattered.
"So this is Mel?" She asks pointing to her.
I nod and look away.
I entwine my fingers with Mel's as the paramedic talks to her.
"Mel there's a lovely handsome fella whose joined us. It's Ben your boyfriend! If you would just open your eyes sweetie then you could see him." she speaks enthusiastically.
I look as Mel's eyes move a tiny bit but never open. Then there's a loud bleep and I notice Mel's chest has stopped moving.
"Oh no move back Sir she's starting to leave us!"
"No! Not yet Mel, don't give up princess! No Mel remember all our plans, our promises..Don't leave me yet!" I cry.
Quick, dramatic and totally unexpected! hope you enjoyed... will Mel survive or have we lost her?...
