Life after him

Chapter 6: The accident

I found myself on the floor covered in blood laying on the road, this can't be happening at all what the he...

A sound of a car crashing , people screaming and a kid crying brought me to reality, I look up and a car is up in the sky coming down to where I am, I try my very best and roll on the other side but the car pass me and hit in the tree near by and it flame up just four feet away from where I was. Then I hear a voice of a child crying.
I want to stand and run up to save the child, but every part of me is hurting, I gather all my courage and strength I have in me and manage to crawl to the car, only to see a poor baby boy lying in a pool of blood crying he looks like maybe just five or so but he looks so scared and puzzled at the same time I went to him and pull him out and crawl with him away from the car.

"Its going to be okay sto... stop crying" I whisper to the boy, I can't even talk properly my throat is dry and I can't move anymore it's like my bones are all broken, last thing I heard were sirens of the police and people shouting here and there.

My eyes feel so heavy to open them, but how? I am not a heavy sleeping someone. Why can I not just open them. Finally they open but I panicked because this is not my room at all where am I?

White walls and pipes all over me and beeping machines on the background, "hospital" I whisper to my self, my throat is dry and I can hardly produce a sound. "Why am I in the hospital? " I ask my self in a low voice

Then memories of yesterday came back to me flowing one by one: finding out that my best friend and my boyfriend well I mean ex boyfriend are hooking up or have a secret relationship behind my back, running out of his place after I broke up with him, crying myself to sleep on the bench in our park, snapping and being rude to Max for trying to help me out, then the  car crash and the boy, "oh shit the boy where is he?" I am still talking to myself, is he still terrified as he was last time I saw him? poor kid.

I try to move to stand up I want to go look for him I want to comfort him and apologise for my stupid action and causing the accident or maybe it was not my fault but I just can't move any single part of me I feel so nub, I am in the hospital.
A nurse came in and start checking my files then I clear my throat making her look at me
"Oh hey you are finally awake" she say with a smile.

" I can't move my body hurts so bad what happened to me ?" I feel sad I want to move so badly I want to go look for that boy

"You were involved in an accident and you have a little bruise here and there and you have a fractured rib and its going to take a few day and you will heal, for now you need to rest as your body needs that" she explains

" How about the little boy from the car?"I ask so worried

"He is alright but getting medication also and the mother is in critical condition and the father didn't make it, he died at the spot " she explains and I look away  this is all Peter's fault or maybe mine because I fell in love and trusted him so such and now I am broken, will I ever forget him?  I love him so much but he has caused so much pain and damage,  a broken heart , a broken friendship, now a dead father and a terrified boy poor boy I wonder how he is feeling now.

The damage is too much why do people fall in love anyways? just to get their heart broken like this?

There was a knock at the door ,  "Oh I almost forgot you have a visitor outside they have been waiting for you to wake up may I let them in" the nurse asks, who could that be no one care about me.
"Yeah sure, let them in" I  look at the door waiting to see who is outside, the nurse open the door and it was Max I feel so ashamed of myself now I treated him bad last night and yet here he is.

"Hey I am glad you made it I was so worried about you" he came and hug me to my surprise.
"You where ?" I ask him confused is he not supposed to be mad at me or something ?

"Yeah I saw what happen and I  am so sorry for living you there alone I am a bad friend and I am proud of you for what you did for that kid" he say holding my hands I flinch a bit cause they are bandaged but I let him go on he has that face that I can't read I just fail to understand that emotion he is display sometimes

"I  am sorry for last night and I am happy to see that you are not angry about it" I don't want to go into details of anything I will end up crying 

"I get it you are upset about something and I was just being immature about the situation " he reply , at least someone care about me and I am grateful for that .

"Thank you for being here really I am more than grateful " I thank him and we continue talking about the whole accident, and Max told me that the car that bump me was for their neighbour and they have bee having relationship problems and the man wanted divorce but the wife fear the life and future of her child and didn't want to sign divorce papers, later on the police came in and ask if I can give a statement and I did and Max left after that.
