Mean Socs ||Darry Curtis||

Chapter 15

Darry's POV:
"Elizabeth! Elizabeth!" I called from the top of the Ferris wheel. This can't be happening... If it wasn't such a stupid idea I would jump down just to make sure she's okay.

"Let me down!" I yell. This can't be happening.

"Start moving this stupid thing! My girlfriend is down there!"

But they don't. Everyone's frozen in place, including Elizabeth, who's sprawled on the ground behind the wheel. Finally the stupid thing starts moving.

"Finally!" I yell, and get off, running over to her. A small crowd has gathered around her by now.

"Is she breathing?" Someone asks. Small murmurs erupt, but there's no real answer until I push through them to check her pulse. Thank god, she's alive. Her eyes were closed.

"Elizabeth? Are you with us, honey?" I ask. No response.

"Somebody call an ambulance!" I scream, and a few people run off. Right as the ambulance pulls up, a horrible thought comes to mind: If she dies will it be my fault? Will I have killed her? The paramedics let me ride with her, and I hold her hand the whole way there. They tell me to wait in the waiting room, though, and only immediate family can come into the her room right now. I demand to be let in, I'm the closest thing to family right now, her boyfriend, her... fiancé.

But then I realize I never got an answer from her. She never said yes, she would marry me, or no she wouldn't. I feel my heart break, just a little bit.

Over an hour later a doctor comes to get me.

"Darrel Curtis? Miss. Ramsey has been asking for you," He says. I immediately get up and follow him.

"So she's okay?" I ask. He sighs.

"Well, she was very lucky. A slight concussion, and a broken arm, that's it. But she took a nasty, deadly fall."

"I know," I respond. It feels like it's my fault she fell, too.

He leads me to her room and walks out saying, "I'll leave you two kids alone." I look down at my girlfriend. She she looks hurt and broken. I would do anything to make her better right now.

"Hey. How are you feeling?" I ask her.

"Like shit," She says. That's all she says.

"I'm sorry, sweetie," I say, leaning down to kiss her cheek. It's bruised a light purple color, and her nose is patched up. She must have broken that, too. Before I can actually kiss her, she scoots away.

"No, Darrel. I'm not in the mood for your crap. Not now, not ever. And you can just leave right now because we're done. Over. Through. I'm breaking up with you. Have a great life," She says. I can't say anything, or move even, because my heart is too busy being shattered into a billion tiny, unrepairable pieces.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Leave! Don't make me call the nurses!" She says. And with that, I go.

I'm hurt as ever, and I still have a promise/engagement ring in my pocket that I'll never be able to give to her now. I can't believe she broke up with me!

What did I do? It must have been something I did. After all of the time we spent together, I thought she really loved me. But I guess not...

Elizabeth's POV:
The second Darry left the hospital room, I started sobbing and I couldn't stop. Why did I break up with him? Why had I been so stupid? I overreacted completely.

It wasn't his fault I fell.

Heck, it wasn't anyone's fault other than my own. I love him more than anything, and I do want to be his wife. Why couldn't have told him that when I had the chance? By them time I decide all of this, it's too late. He's probably already left, I look like too much of a slob to see anyone, and I'm not allowed out of the bed.

After that day, I never do see Darry again. I guess he was just a high school sweetheart, nothing more.

I end up going off to college at NYU with my best friend, Beka. We're roommates in the dorms. Her boyfriend Dally moves out there with us, since New York is his real home. He and Beka go out to Tulsa for visits all the time, even if it is far.

Although I do have family, I don't visit very often, and the first time I go back, I don't go see my mom and brother. I go see someone else, someone a lot more important: Darry Curtis.

A/N: Please don't kill me. It was the only alternative to killing Elizabeth. But on the bright side this chapter leads into the Christmas one. Who's excited? And who's still reading this?
