The Boy Next Door

5) Accidents Happen

That was about as nice as Bellamy got. He said one nice thing and he hardly said a word since. I have to admit, I was a little upset. How could he be so nice one day, and act like no one else exists the next? That was the mystery of Bellamy Blake I guess.

One More Month Later...

Octavia's POV

I recently passed my drivers test and I was allowed to drive myself, family, and very close friends. So, of course, I started driving Clarke and me to school. I have no idea what was wrong with Bellamy these past few months.

It's like he hated driving us, but he never refused. So I was confused. He hardly said anything in the car and would just listen to me and Clarke's conversations. I guess you could say Clarke and me were glad I could drive now.

Anyway, it was a regular Saturday afternoon and I was on my way to get some groceries. I was still getting used to driving, so I was going fairly slow. Then out of the corner of my eye, I see a truck come racing towards me. I panic and just as I was about to reach for the emergency brake, I feel the impact. I don't know how but it felt like time slowed down and everything was in slow motion; just like the movies. My vision blurs and my hearing is muffled. I feel time completely stop just before I hear very faint sirens. Then I slowly succumb to darkness.

Bellamy's POV

I was sitting on the couch watching TV when I hear my cell phone ring. I get up to go get it, and I see an unknown number. I decline it and I start to walk back to the couch when I hear it ring again. It's the same number. Ugh, fine I'll just answer it. It's probably some random person asking for money I think to myself.

I pick up the phone and wait for the other person to speak. "Bellamy Blake?" the voice asks. "That's me. Who wants to know?" I respond. "My name is Alex. I work for Polis Medical. I am sorry to inform you that your sister Octavia Blake was in an accident on main street."

I feel a cold chill run down my spine. My voice is lost and I am completely and utterly terrified. As I try to find the words my voice squeaks out, "i-is she okay?" "She is in critical condition. I hope to see you here soon to learn more about the details," Alex says. I don't know what else to say so I just hang up.

I grab my keys and run out the door. I jump in my car and start speeding to the hospital. I grip the steering wheel in anger as I feel the tears pooling in my eyes that are threatening to fall. I feel my lip quiver and I try to keep it together. She's alive. I tell myself. She will make it.

I get to the hospital and I run into the building. I get to the waiting room. I see a lady at a desk and I scramble up to it. "Excuse me, do you know anything about Octavia Blake?" I say out of breath. "Let me check," she says. I stand there and wait while my heart is racing. I can't handle the anticipation. I couldn't handle it anymore and I slam my fist down on the desk. "WELL DO YOU?" I yell. "Sir, calm down. She is now going into surgery. If you will kindly take a seat, we will tell you everything we know once she is out," she calmly replies.

I nod my head with tears in my eyes and go take a seat. I sit down and I drown myself with guilt. Why did I let her go by herself? This is all my fault. I don't know what else to do with myself so I decide to call Clarke. Whether I like it or not, she is O's best friend and she cares about her. I pick up my phone and click on Clarke's name. After a few rings, I hear her voice. "Bellamy? Why are you calling me?" she asks. I hesitate before I answer because I am scared I will fall apart if I have to explain it. I find my voice again and I say, "O's been in- in an accident. I am at Polis Medical while she is in surgery." She doesn't freak out or ask any further questions. All she says is, "I'll be right there."

Clarke's POV

I was just sitting at home watching Friends when I hear my phone ring. I look at the caller ID and I see Bellamy's name. Why was he calling me? He never talks to me, let alone call me I think to myself. I decide to answer the phone after a few rings and I put it up to my ear. "Bellamy? Why are you calling me?" I ask. It takes him a few seconds to answer and when he speaks, my heart stops. "O's been in- in an accident. I am at Polis Medical while she is in surgery." I am terrified. Octavia is my best friend. But who was I to say anything? This was Bellamy's sister. I decide not to ask any further questions and I just say, "I'll be right there."

I get in my car and start to head over to the hospital. While driving I try not to imagine the worst. I need to use my head. Octavia will be fine. Polis Medical is a great hospital. Although while thinking this, there are tears in my eyes on the verge of overflowing. I try to keep my composure and I drive steadily to the hospital.

I finally get there after what seems like forever and I race inside. I look around and just as I was about to ask the lady at the desk, I see Bellamy sitting in a chair.

I walk over to him and he stands up like he's about to say something. But before he can, I wrap my arms around him and hug him tightly. "Everything will be okay," I say softly. Not a second later, I feel his arms return the embrace and we just stand there hugging each other to try and ease the pain.

Hello everyone! Surprise! We love sad things! Jk, lol. Have a great day/night lovelies <3
