Vee's POV

"Mark, please hold on." I said as he was being carried out on the stretcher. I was begging him although he can't hear me because he's unconscious. I don't know what was happening to him since I'm not a doctor myself, but he had a lot of wounds surrounding his body. He was covered in blood and most of it is coming from his head.

After he lost consciousness earlier, the ambulance came right away. Good thing that there was a hospital very close by and we got here in a span of a few minutes. The medical staffs were walking as fast as they can while I was just following them. Nothing is in my mind right now and all I see is my lover who saved me, is now in a manner of life and death all because of me.

He was carried in the intensive care unit and I was supposed to follow but a nurse quickly stopped me. "I'm sorry sir. You can't come in." she said politely.

But I didn't oblige. "Mark! Mark! Baby!" I kept on calling him while trying to get past the nurse who was blocking my path. "Let go of me! I need to see Mark!" I shouted.

Several nurse suddenly came and stopped me as I continued to force myself to come in. My mind was blank and all I wanted to do was to stay by Mark's side even if I'm already starting a commotion here. "Sir. It will be better for your loved one if you'll just stay here and let the doctors handle everything." a nurse told me clearly.

I nodded and held his hands. "Please do everything. I can't lose him, please." I pleaded to him while crying. If I had to beg and kneel in front of them just so they could save Mark, I will. I can!t live without him, I just can't.

He held my shoulders using both of his hands which made me look at him. "Yes sir. We'll do everything in our capabilities. So please stand by outside the ICU and wait for the operation to finish." he said.

I looked down and nodded as I understood what he said. I stopped forcing myself to enter and they all went inside the ICU. I, on the other hand, just stood outside just like what they asked me to do. I felt weak. All the energy I had earlier suddenly depleted down as I waited for the doctor to come out.

I sat down on the floor and leaned my back on the wall. I was panting while I continued to sob, my tears not even having any plans to stop falling. "Please... save him. Save Mark." I whispered to the air. I know to myself that I wasn't a believer of Him but if ever He's really there, I need His help so bad.

I stood still in my position as I continued to wait, I didn't know how many minutes had passed as I was just staring into space. Not until a familiar voice suddenly caught my attention. Mark's parents were rushing into my place which made me stand up quickly. They were both panting hard as they were running here.

"What happened?" auntie asked as soon as they reached my place. Mark's father on the other hand went straight to the door and tried to check if he can see something but to no avail since the window is block on the inside.

I kneeled down in front of them. "I'm sorry auntie, uncle. It was all my fault." I said as tears were still flowing down my face. I wanted to stop crying so bad but my tears won't just coming our of my eyes. "It should've been me. If he didn't save me, he wasn't supposed to be in this situation." I continued with my head lowered down. I know that they're mad at me right now because I was the cause of everything.

But Mark's mom didn't do what I expected. I thought she was going to slap me or blame me but instead, she kneeled down and hugged me tight. "It wasn't your fault son. Don't blame yourself." she said as she gently rubbed my back to calm me down.

I pulled away and looked at her. She was also crying like I am. "No auntie, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that Mark is facing something like this because of me. I was the one who was supposed to be hit by the car, but he pushed me away and I wasn't able to do anything about it. I'm sorry." I explained as I continued to sob, not caring about the people surrounding me.
