Natalie's POV

It's been three days since Kelsey's been in a coma. Ben has never left her side, he looks rough, he's hardly ate and hasn't even gone home to shower. He just sleeps in the chair by the side of her bed. He won't talk to anyone not even his family. The funny dramatic Ben we love has gone with Kelsey. Every time I see him, the pain of that night is drilled into his brain and shone through his eyes. A pang of guilt reaches my stomach when I see the pain everyone is in. Yet again, it is my fault. I shouldn't have ran off.

That night when me and Cole arrived, Ben was talking to a police officer describing what had happened. When Ben had crashed the door down, my dad ran through the back of the house and into the garden and out the back gate. Instead of chasing him, Ben fell to Kelsey's side and rang for help. My dads been missing for three days and police are looking for him. I couldn't bring myself to tell the police about my dad, I was too overwhelmed and in shock from seeing Kelsey. The image of her lifeless body still flashing in my mind.

It was Tuesday and me, Cole and Ben still haven't gone back to school yet. I had to go to work in the evenings at the bar to pay the bills as I was meant to be staying at Kelsey's house but now she isn't around, I'm lost, I'm trying to act like everything is fine. I've done everything in my power to distract myself, to distract my own mind. I can't risk myself to be alone or sat doing nothing for longer than five minutes because i'll break. My dark thoughts will creep in and i'll break.

I had just finished cleaning the whole house top to bottom when there was a knock at my door. "Fuck off!" I yelled out. I don't care who it is I don't want to see anyone today. They knocked again and I ignored it going up stairs to my room.

I showered and changed into gym clothes, I pulled my hair back tightly into a high pony tail. I promised Kelsey I would go to self defence classes with her, although I will be alone a promise is still a promise and I will never be one to break one.

I stepped out of my front door and glanced down to the floor where a white envelope laid on the ground. I picked it up and chucked it into my bag. I got into my car and drove off, I soon arrived at the gym and wondered through the building till I reached the right room. The coach eyed me up and down and smiled. "Welcome newbie, join the others with warming up." He beamed at me. I flashed him a fake smile and joined the group of strangers.

After hours of training, I was exhausted. I met a guy named James who was in a similar situation to mine with his family. He told me his story and I said a little of mine. It was nice to know I wasn't alone in this and that someone could relate to me.

I walked out of the building waving bye to James and bumped into a very hard chest. I looked up to meet those precious green eyes, glaring at me. "Why did you tell me to fuck off?" Cole growled out. "I didn't know it was you, plus I wasn't in the mood." Self defence classes are perfect for releasing my anger.

"Well it was me, wanna go and visit Kels?" Cole's voice suddenly turned soft. I froze in my spot. "I-I can't tonight." I stammered out. "You have to face her at some point or you may end up regretting it." Cole said as he wrapped his arms around my now shaking body.

"It was all my fault Cole. I can't face her or Ben knowing that it was my fault." Tears started to pour down my cheeks.

"It wasn't your fault red lips, if anything it's mine, I'm the one who told her to go to your house in the first place." Cole said soothingly.

I didn't reply and got into my car and looked over to my right confused as Cole jumped into the passenger side. "What are you doing?" I question him. "We're going to the hospital, now drive." He demanded me.
