Clara-

It's been a few weeks since i told Andrew I loved him, but that was just so I could get him to trust me. but Actually I think I'm started adapt feelings for him.

"Hello there beautiful." he whispered walking into the bedroom.

"Uh hi."

"What's wrong?"

He stood at the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Nothing just nothing feeling to great I guess."

Was walked over to where I was and sat down beside me on the bed.

"You look pale." he whispered as he gently touched my forehead.

"Your burning up. just lie down, I'll be right back." I jumped off the end and ran downstairs and grabbed the Ibuprofen bottle and a bottle of water from the fridge and bolted back upstairs, Clara was still sitting up.

"Here," I handed her two pills and opened the water bottle. "take these."

She downed the pills with the water, and laid down.

I went to touch her head but she flinched.

I crawled beside her so she could see me.

"I'm not going to hurt you Clara, I promise."

She nodded and closed her eyes.

I turned off the lights and stripped off my shirt, i was still in my sweatpants.

When I crawled in beside her I felt her flinch.

Why was she still so scared of me? I would never hurt her.

Clara-

*the bright lights of the hospital blinded me.

I heard the beeps of the heart monitor.

I saw an IV in my right arm and a breathing tube down my throat.

"Well looks who's awake. my stars. I thought you would never wake up. listen sweetie don't try and talk due to the breathing tube."

She out on white latex gloves and once the breathing tube was out my mouth and throat was begging for water.

The nurse put me in a sitting position and helped me sip on some water.

"Okay sweetie, I have to ask you some questions okay?

I nodded.

"Do you remember your name?"

"C-Clara Marie Daniels." My voice was groggy.

She nodded and smiled.

"Good. do you remember how old you are?"

"Uh 13... no no 14, I'm 14 years old."

"Good good. last one, do you remember what happened?"

I thought for a moment and nodded.

"T-there was a c-car and it was swerving."

"Okay, tell me more. what else to you remember?"

"My mom, dad and I were on our way to the mountains. there was a car swerving, but it suppose to be on the other side of the road not our side. I saw the car hit us, then I got burned on my shoulder. my mom and dad are they okay? where are they? can I see them?"

Her smile faded and she placed her hand on top of mine.

"Sweet pea, I'm so so sorry but they're gone."
