"I can't fucking see" I fall backwards.

"Get it off!" Aaliyah graphically screams.

I stand up, only seeing white like you went to take a picture and turn the brightness for it all the way up on the sun.

"Hey hey" I fall to my knees in front of her. "It's off, baby, it's off" I lift her up, holding her.

"I can't see" she cries. "Ow it hurts!"

"I-I-I'll get you o-o-out of h-h-here" I close my eyes and open in hopes that I can see, but I can't. Regardless, I pick her up and hiss in pain from my elbow. "I-I-I have you"

I start walking in a shit ton of pain, but I know she's in pain too.

"It hurts" she screams into my hoodie. "I can't- I can't see"

I take a break from walking to wait for my eyes to readjust, in which, they don't.

More fireworks.

"HOLY FUCK!"

"WHAT HAPPENED?!"

Parker and Lorenzo run to us, from what I can hear.

My eyes finally adjust and everything's visible to me.

"Aaliyah!" Lorenzo takes her from me.

I sit down in the mud with my elbows on my knee caps, head in between.

"Are you okay?!" Parker slides next to me.

"What even happened?!" Lorenzo asks.

I was going too fast.

"GET THE FUCKING AMBULANCE YOU FUCKER!" Parker shouts at Lorenzo.

I hold my elbow.

After what feels like hours, Lily comes with the paramedics, in which we're immediately taken into the back of the ambulance.

Aaliyah and I got separated, making me furious.

"No no, she-"

"Lay back, son. We're gonna get you-"

"No she needs s-"

"Make your hand into a fist" a paramedic says and I try to look out the back of the ambulance window as I make a fist.

A needle is then placed into my skin, but it doesn't affect me.

No, it doesn't.

I want Aaliyah...

I clench my jaw and look around me.

They went with her.

But I didn't think they allowed that many people in the truck...

I breathe heavily and throw my head back, closing my eyes.

"Mm" I groan.

"Hey buddy" dad stands up. "How do you feel?"

"Like shit" I hold my arm. "Ah fuck" I throw my head back.

"Aaliyah can't remember what happened..." he trails off.

I look at him. "I-i-is she o-o-okay?" I stress.

He nods. "She doesn't have a concussion, she's just in shock"

"Where is she?" I look around for her.

He sits down on the chair next to me. "She has her own room. Everyone's with her"

Frowning, I sit up. "They're gonna hate me"

"What happened?" he asks and I push my eyebrows together. "We need help here, buddy"

I try to form words. "I-I went over a h-hill..." he pause. "I w-was going to f-f-fast"

"W-"

"The four wheeler f-f-fell on us... I couldn't g-get it o-o-off. I dig myself out... I-I-I got her out, but she was screaming it was s-s-still on h-h-her. I carried her out..." I continue.

"I have n-"

"Ow-"

"You're awake!" a beautiful nurse walks in. "How do you feel, buddy?"

I sigh. "Like hell"

"Do you remember what happened?" she walks over to me.

"Clear as day" I look down.

"Mind telling me?" she asks softly, like Aaliyah would.

A smile grows on my face as I think about her.

I tell the story with my eyes locked down.

Later on, I get an x-ray done on my scarred up elbow to find it that it's only sprained, so I got an arm sling.

Aaliyah?

I need to see her...

"C-C-Can I-"

"Hey dummy" Lorenzo, Parker, and Lily walk in.

"Hey" I sigh, sitting down.

"We didn't forget you..." Lorenzo frowns.

"Please don't be upset we didn't go with you in the ride up here" Lily rubs my shoulder.

I shake my head. "How is she?"

"Hurting... really bad" Parker looks down and I try to form words, but can't.

It's my fault...

It's my fault that Aaliyah's hurt...

It's my fault she's in the hospital...

I gasp for air and stand up.

"You okay?!" Lorenzo runs to me.

"Y-y-yeah" I cough. "I just wanna sleep"

"You don't wanna see Aaliyah?" Parker tilts his head.

I shake my head. "No... no, I don't"

"Why not?"

"What's wrong?"

"You a-"

"I said no" I say sternly. "I don't wanna see her"

They all look at each other as I get back in the bed.

**

"She wants to see you" dad says as we walk out of the room.

"I don't wanna see her..." I trail off. "I wanna go home"

"Okay" he sighs and we walk into the elevator, leaving for our two hour drive.

As I scroll through instagram, I get that text.

A ❤️ :
Are you okay?

I frown and power my phone off.

I'm so sorry, A.
