Loving you

The accident.

I sit in my spot on the sofa next to Luca when I check my phone. There's a couple of different notifications and then one from the news, a  crash. "There's been a crash on the Lennox road. It looks serious. Can we put the news on." I ask turning to look at Luca.

He grabs the remote and changes it to a news channel. They aren't showing much but I gasp when I realise it's the road Enzo would be travelling on to get here. I feel my hands start to sweat and I don't know what to do. "Your going to think I'm crazy. Please can we go. Lorenzo was travelling on that road. I need to know he's okay." I say pulling out my phone. I call him and it rings out. I try a couple of more times and still nothing.

"Yeah of course grab your things and we can go. What about Gigi you have to get her." Questions Ella. She's right I should be thinking about Giulietta.

"I'll take care of it we just have to go." I explain walking to the front of the house. I slip on my shoes and grab my jacket. I look behind me and all my friends are there.

The car ride is quiet and awkward. I feel sick but don't know what else I could have done. I've tried calling Enzos mom but there's no reply. We've been driving for about an hour but I feel like it's been much longer, way to long. I pull my phone out and see it's almost 6. I should call my mom but I'm hoping it's not Enzo so I hold off.

We arrive to the scene and the whole road has been shut off. We're up at the top of the hill looking down but I can't see anything. There's no car, no person. I'm confused. I approach the police officer that is standing at the police tape. He looks nice. A tall, well kept man. "Hi officer." I say to get his attention. He turns and looks at me.

"Hello how can I help?" He asks taking a step closer to us. As I turn to the side I notice he's holding something. It looks like a piece of paper but I'm not sure.

"The accident can you tell us anything about it?" I ask hoping he can tell me something.

"There was a male under 20 but that's all I can share." He says. His eyes look at the paper then back at me. Maybe it's a picture.

"Please I need to know... It might have been a friend." I plead. I feel desperate now, I need answers. 

He looks at me. He does seem like a caring man he looks at the paper again. "Are you Giulietta?" He asks and I shake my head. "Jasmine?" I nod and he continues. "Lorenzo Moretti has been air lifted to saint Cumbria hospital. Try and be quick he'll need someone." Explains the man. I smile and turn to leave when he touches my shoulder. He passes me the paper that I now realise is a picture. Me and Giulietta when she was days old. He kept it. I begin to feel nervous but rush back to Ella's car.

"We have to get to saint Cumbria hospital. Please be quick." I exclaim getting back into the back. I pull out my phone and call my mom. "Mom... mommy." I cry.

"Jasmine what's wrong. Where are you?" She asks in terror.

"Enzo has been in an accident. He's been air lifted to saint Cumbria hospital. I know it's a lot but please still go to work. Gianni's going to look after Gigi I'm going to the hospital... me and the police can't get Marianna to answer."I rush everything. I just feel like I can't breathe.

"Okay sweetie calm down. Gigi will be okay with Gianni and I'll go to work. I'll call Marianna but just get to the hospital. Call me when you hear any news." Reassures my mom before hanging up.  I take a deep breathe before pressing Gianni's name on my phone.

It rings for a minute before he answers. "Gi." I say. As soon as the words leave my lips I realise I've never called him that before.

"Jas." he replies. He sounds worried.

"Please can you go to mine and watch Giulietta while my mom goes to work. There's been an accident and I'm going to see Lorenzo." I say. I didn't realise it until now but my right leg is shaking and bouncing almost uncontrollably.

"Yeah of course... Where are you? We can pick you up." He says. I panic when he says it. I don't want Gigi anywhere near a car.

"No Gi listen. I don't want Giulietta anywhere near a car. Don't bring her to me. Keep her safe in my house. Please... you have to promise me." I cry. I'm really worried now but can see we're close to the hospital. 

"I promise. She'll be safe. I'll see you when you get home. Don't worry about Gigi." He says. And I trust him.

I put my phone in my pocket just as we're pulling into a parking spot. Annie grabs my hand and wipes my face with the other. "We'll do this together." She says squeezing my hand. I nod and open up the car door. We all walk towards the hospital and approach a nurses desk. I didn't mind hospitals until Giulietta was sick and now I'm not the biggest fan. The women at the desk looks at us and smiles. "Hi, what can I help you with?" She's bouncing and pen back and forth in her hand.

"We can to see Lorenzo... Moretti." I say "The police said he was air lifted here."

She looks at me again and nods quickly. Her hands dance across the keyboard and then she stands up. "I'll take you to him." We all nod and follow her.

As we are walking through the hospital we are getting further and further away from the desk we came in to. We reach the him after lots of stairs and countless turns. She speaks to a nurse and then that nurse approaches us. "Hello are any of you his family?" She asks holding a clip board up towards her chest.

"He's the father of my child... Please." I say feeling a little dizzy. I feel Annie's hand wrap in mine.

"He's been in a serious accident. He has a broken left leg, 2 fractures in his left arm with a broken collar bone on that side too. We need to do some more tests but we think he might have bleeding in his lungs. You can see him but don't move him." She explains pointing to the door that has his name on it.

I walk over to the door and move it open. He's just lying there, his arm is bandaged and his leg is slightly raised. He has a swollen eye and some bruising on his head. I've never seen anyone like this before. I walk towards him but can help the tears that come to my eyes. He looks so helpless. "I'm just going to talk to him." I try and smile closing the door behind me. I sit at the side of his bed and reach for his hands. He doesn't react when I put it in mine. "Lorenzo... Enzo. You have to get through this. We were going to have a fun weekend." I try to keep it light but can't help the tears falling. "Even though we aren't together I still love you. I always have and always will because you gave me the best gift anyone ever could... Have you seen our little bambina she's the best!" I don't know what else to say and I start to feel sick. "Your mom will be here soon. I'll stay with you until she gets here... stay with me." I sob squeezing his hand just a little harder. I feel like if I let go he might go somewhere.

Jut as I take my eyes off of him to look around the room the monitor starts to continuously beep. I've never seen this ever happen apart from in the movies. I stand up and run to the door but by the time I reach it there is a team of about 8 people rushing into the room. A nurse looks at Luca then at me. "Take her out. Take care of her."
