3 months later I drive to my apartment. I was suppose to meet Landon to go pick out things for our wedding, but he's not there. This is very unlike him to be late. So with that I decide to call him, no answer. I'm little worried because Landon always answers his phone, ALWAYS. I then try texting him, and wait for 10 minutes, no answer. Now I'm worried to the bone, I call him again praying he'll answer but it goes to voicemail. After about 30 minutes of waiting I get a call, a call from an unknown number. I answer it and there's a women on the other end saying " Landon Cooper has been hurt, you need to come to the hospital as soon as you can. It doesn't look good" right when I heard this I hung up the phone and bolted to the car to go see him.
As I'm driving to the hospital all I can think about is back December when he asked me to marry him. I finally get to the hospital and run into the ER. I get to the front desk with tears in my eyes asking for Landon's room, it's #526, 5/26/15 is our wedding date. I go down the halls that seem never ending and I finally get to Landon's room where he is laying there with bandages all over his body. I run to him and try to talk to him by saying " Landon I love you, please be ok, be strong you can pull through, wake up baby, I'm here it will be alright" but he wouldn't wake up. I look at him with tears in my eyes and I look at one of the the nurses and ask "what happened?" The nurse takes me aside and explains " Well he was at a red light while a turning lane had the right away and when his light turned green he went but a car in the turning lane ran a red light and smashed right into him on the driver side."
"Is he going to be alright?", I asked.
"Well if he is strong he might be able to pull through. He broke many ribs and hurt his lungs as well as both his legs and his face. Overall it doesn't look very promising.", says the nurse.
" you mean he's dying?", I said stuttering the last word.
"Unfortunately yes", said the nurse.
I leaned against the wall trying to hold back the tears but slid down the wall sobbing. All the memories I had with Landon run through my head a hundred miles an hour. I get up and walk into his room. I pull a chair up right next to his bed and hold his hand. Suddenly Landon opens his eyes. He looks at the nurses and then over to me and grasps my hand tight. I'm trying to hold the tears in my eyes as I say "Landon it is going to be ok, I promise."
Landon looks at me, watching the tears run down my face. He smiles at me trying to stay strong for his special girl. We start talking about the kids we are going to have and the house we will live in and what we are going to do in life as a career to take off some of the weight of this situation.
