Josh's POV
"Stop changing the stations!!! I love this song!" I laugh, my boyfriend flipping through all the stations on the radio.
"You just pay attention to the road Joshy" He laughs, stilling going through the stations.
We are in heavy rain and its very hard to see, never mind its also night time.
"Darling, You're distracting me" i say, trying to focus on the road. "Sorry Joshy" He sighs, sitting back in his seat.
"Naw it's okay handsome. You can change around the stations." I smile, placing on hand on his knee.
"I love you Josh" He says softly, placing his hand on top of mine. "I love you too Prince." I say, looking over at him.
I remove my hand from his and feel the box in my pocket. I was planning to propose to him tonight, at the top of the hill where we first met.
"JOSH WATCH OUT" Simon screams before grabbing the wheel.
He turns our car to the left which was going straight towards two bright car lights.
Crash...
-Time Skip-
I open my eyes slowly, bright lights invading my vision that's blurry.
"Hello Josh." A young woman said, dressed in white with clipboard in hand. "H-hi?" I stutter, voice very scratchy.
"How are you feeling?" She asks, taking out a pen. "Uh" I reply, unable to describe how i feel.
"It's okay, Son, take your time." She smiles. I nod softly, taking in everything. "Where is he?" I ask, suddenly very worried about my boyfriend.
"Where is who?" She asks, closing the clipboard. "Simon. My boyfriend. Where is he?" I ask, sitting up even though I'm in a lot of pain.
"Josh i need you to stay calm and laying down please." She says, gently pushing my chest back down. "Where is he?!" I yell through tears and anger.
"Josh please stay calm. The doctor will be in to explain everything shortly." She says in a calm manor. I nod, trying to not let my anxiety destroy me and think the worse.
A tall man with black hair and green eyes walked in the door.
"Hello Josh Bradley. I'm Dr.Parks." He says, closing the door behind the nurse that left. "Where is he?" I ask him.
He looks up from the clipboard he has. "Where is whom?" He asks, setting down the papers. "Where is Simon? Simon Minter?" I ask, trying to remain calm.
"We will get to that in a second, son. I need to go over a few things with you." He answered, picking up the board. I sigh, realizing there's no point in fighting back.
"Alright, to start, do you know what happened?" he asks. "Yeah car crash i presume" I frown, keeping my gaze to the sheets.
"Yes sir. Luckily you weren't impacted that badly and you only broke a rib or two and sprained your ankle pretty badly." He says, reading my charts I'm guessing.
"Oh wow.." I sigh, thinking about nothing but Simon.
"As for Simon.." He said and my gaze shot up straight to him.
"I'm afraid that he is in critical condition as your car was hit on the passengers side." He says and my heart dropped.
My boy.. My beautiful boy could be gone.
I feel myself slipping away, breaking slowly.
-A Week Later-
I'm finally out of the hospital, but Simon isn't.
He's so badly injured he was put on life support. The doctors won't tell me anything or let me see him.
I'm at home with JJ and Vikk, they won't leave me alone. They're always asking how I'm holding up and how I'm feeling but i just want to be alone right now.
My phone rings, the all familiar number of the hospital. I pick up my phone and accept the call.
"Hello?" I say. "Hello is this Josh?" A male asks. "Yes it is." I reply.
"You need to get down to the hospital right away." He says in a hurry. The line goes dead and i start to panic.
"VIKK. JJ." I yell, trying to get up in my crutches as best as i can. They both come running into my room.
"What's wrong?" Vikk asks. "Something is wrong. They want me to the hospital as soon as possible." I breathe heavily.
They share a quick look between each other and Vikk runs down stairs.
"Okay let me help you." JJ says, just carrying me down the stairs and to Vikk's car.
I really hope hes okay..
-At The Hospital-
I get a wheelchair and get inside. The front desk knows who I'm there for already and just let me go in with Vikk and JJ.
I rush as quickly as i could to his room, only to see 4 or 5 doctors and nurses surrounding the door to his room.
"Josh.." Dr. Parks had said. "Is he okay?" I ask, only to receive a heart breaking look.
"I'm sorry Josh." He said.
"No.. No this can't be true. You're lying to me.." I start to panic. My boy was gone..
"I'm so sorry Josh. You can see him for a little bit one last time." He said, rubbing my back.
That broke me.
I started to sob, like full on sob at the though that he was gone.. forever.
"I want to go home." I say. "Are you sure you don't want-" "I said i want to go home." i cut JJ off.
"Okay Josh.. We can go home" Vikk said, wheeling me away from his room. I slowly break, but I'm still in denial.
The ride home was uneventful. Just full of awkward silence.
I got home and up to my room soon after.
I lay in my bed, playing with the ring i had bought for him.
The ring i planned to put on his finger almost two weeks ago.
The ring that i would promise him forever with.
Now that's all gone. If only i had payed attention.
All i feel is regret.
