Help Me Save You

This Can't Be How We End

Y/n's POV
"Oh come on, y/n. You don't really mean that."

"Well guess what Jade? I do. Lately, all you care about is yourself and I'm getting sick of it. You're turning back into the person you used to be. Mean, hurtful, and conceited. You are not the girl I started dating ten months ago. No wonder Beck broke up with you." I spat out. Lately, Jade has been acting extremely weird and I'm on my last straw.

"Y/n-" I cut her off. "No Jade. I don't know what's going on with you. When we started dating, you became the most loving and caring person I know. What changed? Because you're not her. Tell me when you find her." I then turned around and slammed Jade's front door shut.

God I'm just so mad. What won't she just talk to me. When I try to talk to her about it, she just shuts me down. How are we supposed to be in a serious relationship if we can't communicate with each other?

I fell in love with her. Jade West. The hard-core, mean, selfish Jade. There was just something about her. The way she smiled when she got a lead role or the way her eyes lit up when she was performing on stage. The way she would swing her hips as she walked. And most of all, I could tell she had a heart. Sometimes she would let something slip that showed her soft side. I knew it was there. When we started dating, I got to see that side of her a whole lot more. She changed. She was nicer to people. She was kind. But then somewhere down the line, she went back to the way she used to be. And it's taking a toll on our relationship. We can't have a conversation without it turning into a fight. We haven't laughed together or even kissed in weeks. We're falling apart.

So, I did the only thing that I knew I could do right now. Drive home. I got in my car, throwing my purse onto the passenger seat. I turn on the radio and stare out the front windshield at the dark and rainy night, letting the tears finally fall from my eyes that were being held in for so long.

After a few minutes, I pull myself together and head out onto the black, windy road. All I can think about is Jade. How I'm losing her. How pretty soon, I won't be able to call her mine anymore. But really, I don't think she's actually been mine in a long time. That's the painful truth. We may still be together, but it's like now we're just going through the motions.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts when suddenly, two bright headlights come at me as I cross an intersection. Everything goes black.

Jade's POV
"Damn it!" I yell as y/n slams the door. How could I let her just walk out like that? What is wrong with me? Why can't I let people in and let them stay there? She's right. Beck was right to break up with me. And now she's gonna do the same thing. Damn it! I'm gonna lose the best thing that's ever happened to me and it's all my fault. I bet she hates me now and I don't blame her.

About 15 minutes after y/n left, my phone rings. I groan and answer it.

Hello?

Hello, is this Jade West?

Yes it is. Who is this?

This is Doctor Thomas at Strong Memorial Hospital. We have Y/n L/n here with us. She was in an accident.

I'm on my way!

Before he could say anything else, I hang up and practically sprint to my car. God I can't lose her. I love her. I've always loved her. I just haven't always shown it. But she can't die thinking I don't love her. She deserves to be told and shown how loved she is. I wish it didn't have to come to this for me to realize it. God, I want so badly to tell her I love her. To kiss her lips and hold her hands. To hold her in my arms and tell her that my life is nothing without her. This can't be how this ends. How we end.

Finally, I arrive at the hospital and I am shown to her room. And the sight I see, is pretty much the scariest thing I have ever seen in my 17 years on this planet. I see my girlfriend. Unconscious and hooked up to a whole bunch of beeping machines with doctors surrounding her, yelling medical terms that I don't quite understand.

But then something happens that I understand perfectly. The machines fall into one...long...beep.
