Darkness was something Ambrosia knew far too well. From childhood bullying to the loss of her parents, it seemed she couldn't escape it. She hid her outgoing personality from the world. Her only real happiness came from...

Beep... Beep... Beep...
I loved that noise. Eric was still alive. He had only passed out while in my arms.
The ambulance arrived 16 minutes exactly after I called. Two minutes more and he wouldn't be here right now. I explained to them the whole situation and to the cops when they arrived as well.
He's alive...
I almost lost him. I was stupid and reckless and I almost lost him. He looked so pale like ash. His wound was pretty severe and he died for three minutes. Fuck! Three whole minutes the world was without him. Didn't it know how much it needed him? Didn't it know how much it relied on his charming smile and unyielding love? Maybe it was just my world.
Daniel hasn't said a word. To me or anyone. I don't blame him. He just held his dead mom in his arms. Not to mention he took a man's life. So not only did I almost kill the love of my life I broke the other one.
Stupid! Stupid! STUPID!
How could they ever forgive me? I brought them nothing but pain and misery. I won't be able to look myself in the mirror.
Mrs. Johnson came stumbling in crying. No words, just tears. She came to his bedside and I moved out of her way. Being next her son was way more Important than me being next to him. She laid her forehead on his and said a prayer. I couldn't handle it anymore. I had to get out of there or I would implode.
It started of as a walk into the hall way that turned into a sprint and then I was full out running. I didn't know where I was going, but I had to get as far away as I could so I could breathe. It felt like someone had a giant hold on my heart and lungs. Squeezing so tight they couldn't get any oxygen or blood flow. It burned.
When I stopped running I had no idea where I was. But it was almost empty. I didn't see a familiar face anywhere. That invisible hand let go and I could breathe again.
In...1...2...3...out...2...3...
I repeated it over and over again until i stopped shaking so much. Still a little, but not as much. I followed the signs back to the ICU and located Eric's room. Garrett and Trayvon were outside the door looking in. I could hear someone speaking, but it wasn't Eric or Daniel so I didn't care. They probably were explaining what happened. I didn't need to hear it. I was there. I know everything.
I sat down in an empty chair near his room. Now that I was back, so was that feeling in my chest. Did all that running for nothing. I rubbed the back of my neck which was soar for. I reason. I didn't get hurt at all, but I should be. I should be the one in pain. It should've been me!
