Partner In Crime / Zion Kuwonu

24

I keep praying to God that he will wake up soon. I can't lose him just like that.

I rubbed the back of his hand and instantly remember every single thing we have been through. His raspy voice everytime he wakes up, his laughs, his smiles, and the way he lift the weight off my shoulders and make me the happiest I've ever been. I miss hearing his voice and him telling me corny jokes.

I keep looking at his face. Bruise on his forehead and on his jaw. He looks like he got beat up.

Suddenly, my phone rings, and it was from Melissa.

I wipe away all the tears and control my breath so she won't find out that I was crying.

"H-hi. What's up?" I said.

"Where you at? Its 1 in the morning." She asked.

"Hospital." I said slowly. I immediately regret telling her.

"Oh my god! What happened? Is everything okay? Which hospital are you at? Oh my god, karlee!" I could hear her starting to cry.

I rolled my eyes. She's always so dramatic.

"Its not me. Its Zion. He's at the hospital." I said.

"Oh god! What happened to him?" She was shook."

"He- he um.." I stuttered, couldn't get the words out of my mouth.

"He- got into a car accident." I said slowly.

"NO WAY!!!" She yelled. "There's no way he got into a car accident, karlee. No way!" She cried on the phone.

That made me wanna cry too but I can't because I gotta stay strong and comfort her.

"I just met him, karlee." She was sobbing.

"I know, Mel. I know." I didn't know what I have to say in situations like this.

"I'll come through. What's the address?" She asked.

"I'll text you."

"Okay." And then she hung up.

I saw the notification on my phone and I had so many messages from Elom.

Elom:
Aye karlee u heard of Zion or sum yet?

Elom:
Ion feel good like I feel like he ain't doing fine

And a few more messages from him.

I called him immediately. It didn't take him long to pick up.

"What's up? You know where he's at?" I knew he was worried about him.

"He- um.. he's at.." I stuttered. I didn't know how to tell him.

"Where?" He asked.

"He's at the hospital." I said slowly, started to sobbing.

"Oh my God! What the fuck happened?" He was shocked.

"Car accident." I said.

"Oh God. Which hospital?"

"I'll send you the address." I said.

I hung up and sent him the address.

I looked at him. I wish I didn't let him go that evening. Everything would be just fine.

After 30 minutes Melissa finally arrived.
