I took a deep breath in.

" It's just that, I've made some shit mistakes and gotten people into bad situations I just want you to stay safe. I'm sorry."

She was silent but she didn't seem upset, just perhaps shocked or deep in thought.

" My parents were wearing seat belts, that did stop them from dying...." she said silently.

I began to feel sick like I was going to throw up.

" I'm sorry Lili- I...." I couldn't tell her, I had to protect her.

She couldn't know.

I shook my head.

" My parents died too Lili. They hit another car and my parents and two of the other people in the other car died. I was telling my mom off because I was drunk. My mom swerved, not wearing her seat belt. We hit the other car LIli, it was your car. we hit your car and I killed your parents. you had to know and, now you do." I confessed while looking at her eyes, I had to at least look in her eyes.

It would be the last time they ever held a tinge bit of trust in me.

I got out of the car as fast as I could. I was numb I couldn't process what just happened, it was only a few minutes till it would snap and I'd relies everything.

My house wasn't far away and Calum didn't bother following me, I couldn't believe it.

He knew all this time?!

He knew!

I sobbed as I entered my empty house.

" Oliver! OLIVER! oliver I need you damn it!" I screamed.

I didn't have the right mind set to think about not swearing I couldn't even tell what I was doing.

I screamed before picking up my family photos and slamming them on the floor into billions of glass pieces.

I couldn't breath.

They say there are 5 stages to drowning

The first :Surprise

In this stage, the victim recognizes danger and becomes afraid. The victim assumes a near-vertical position in the water, with little or no leg movement. The arms will be at or near the water's surface, making random grasping or flipping motions. The head will be tilted back with the face turned up. Victims rarely make any sounds; they are struggling just to breath.

The second : Involuntary Breath Holding

The victim has now dropped below the static water line and the body, in an attempt to protect itself, initiates involuntary breath holding. This occurs because water has entered the mouth and causes the epiglottis to close over the airway. Though a victim may continue to struggle, he/she will not usually make any sounds as he/she cannot breathe. Without oxygen, the victim will lose consciousness.

The third : Unconsciousness

Because the victim has been without oxygen, the body shuts itself down as unconsciousness results. In this stage, the victim will be motionless. Because breathing has stopped, he/she is in respiratory arrest. There is no chest movement or breathing sounds. At this point, the victim sinks to the bottom of the water, either slowly or rapidly, depending on factors such as the amount of air trapped in the lungs, body weight, and muscle mass. The victim will remain unconscious (and die) unless breathing is reestablished.

The fourth: Hypoxic Convulsions

Due to the lack of oxygen in the brain, the victim may look as if he/she is having a convulsion, which is why this stage is called the hypoxic convulsion stage. The victim's skin turns blue, especially in the lips and fingernail beds, and the body may appear rigid. There may be violent jerking of the body and frothing at the mouth.

And the last : Clinical Death

The final stage in the drowning process is death. Clinical death occurs when both breathing and circulation stop. The victim is in cardiac arrest. The heart stops pumping blood. The vital organs are no longer receiving oxygen rich blood. The lack of oxygen causes the skin to turn blue.

I felt like I was drowning.

The memories or the crash, his words, everything I've had to live without, everything he had to live with out.

I couldn't breath I struggled, something was not right.

I felt like a pile of brokers had been thrown on to my lungs.

Then everything started getting black as I heard a voice ringing in the distance.

Finally I closed my eyes and the darkness consumed me.

Lili laid there for awhile.

She was a very pale almost light blue shade...

She laid on the cold hospital bed in a bland white room with florescent lights.

Outside her door was Luke slumped down against the wall.

' What did I do? Why can't I be the guy she wants?!' he thought to himself while he slammed his head against the wall.

Ashton was talking to a doctor about Lilis state and what is happening.

Meanwhile Michael was curled up on a chair with a stuffed bunny crying.

I barged in the hospital doors screaming to find her.

" Where the fuck is Lili, luke?! WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED?!" I screamed.

" What the fuck man! it's not my damn fault I don't know what happened?! I came to her house to apologize and she was passed out on the floor! what the fuck did you do Calum that's what I want to know!" He screamed starting to come at me before Ashton screamed for us to shut up and listen to him.

" She had a panic attack she's going to be ok but they want to keep her over night to recover and to watch. "

We all let out breaths we didn't know we were holding in shes ok for now.

She's happy for now where she can't think about what I just told her.

She's happy.

But it's only temporary.

But the sadness that it to come I will help it go away forever.

I promise liliana.
