“Mr Troy, Kinley and her mom have been in an accident…”

This was like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from

When I saw her, covered in bruises, eyes closed, an IV in her ar loudly in her room, I wanted to break down

I wanted to switch places with her

I wanted to make her wake up

I felt so fucking guilty over what I’d said to her before she drove off with her drunkento do with the accident I was the cause of this

Of us

All I had ti headache fro I kneas slowly opening the at me

I jurabbing her hand and kissing all over it while I hit the eency button to let the staff know she ake

“I love you so much” I kissed all over her face, hersorry”

Our eyes locked, both of us trying to focus and take each other in

The RN and doctor on calltheher hand

The doctor proceeded to check all her vitals, asking her questions at the sa each one without trouble or confusion, only easing uilty

“My mom? Is she okay?”

He nodded “She’s fine She’s detoxing in ICU You can see her once I get your test results back” He continued with questions until finally, they left us alone, saying he would be back with the results from her exams from earlier that day

Once I was sitting on the edge of her bed, she expressed, “Christian, I’m so sorry I should have listened to you”

“Shhh…” I kissed her “I’m the one who’s sorry I should have never said that to you I should have gone with you You wouldn’t be here if I had”

“No” She shook her head “That’s not why I’ her words, and my heart was in my throat

“I don’t knohat happened She just woke up in a rage and grabbed the wheel”

My eyes widened

The rest proceeded in slow motion Especially when the doctor walked back into her hospital room with her test results

Stating, “There was dae to your fallopian tubes”

I was in medical school I didn’t have to hear the rest All I kept thinking was how I could have lost the love ofher eyes out in my arms
