Chapter 1: The Accident
Everything was...dark. There was a flash of lights that prevented me from opening my eyes. My body, it was in pain but why? The last thing that I remember was me and Mya were going out for a night ride on my motorcycle. Then there was this semi-truck that cut us off and then… Wait. Is this why I am in pain, did I crash? I slowly opened my eyes to take in my surroundings. I heard sirens and people yelling.
I was laid out on the hard concrete road, large rain drops repeatedly hitting me. I began to try and move, first using my arm to slowly lift me up. It hurt like hell but I had to get up and find out what the hell happened. I was able to lift up high enough to where my upper torso was no longer on the ground. The rain along with the flashing lights disorientated my vision for a moment, but after a few blinks I was able to see my surroundings. There were people standing outside of the area, some were looking towards me while others were looking towards something or rather someone laying in the middle of the road. Not moving an inch. Wait a minute...That can't be who I think it is? Where the hell was Mya?! That couldn't be her, I refuse to believe that.
A sudden burst of strength is what helped me get to my feet, although I was still unbalanced and had to place my hand onto my forehead in order for me to stop the world from spinning. Once it had stopped, I removed my hand. I immediately noticed the red stain on my hand that just left from my forehead, I must have been bleeding there but in all honesty, that was the least important concern at this moment. I had to get over there and make sure that it was not my Mya who was laying there motionless. I used every bit of the strength that I had left to rush over. There were cops and paramedics that reached out and tried to prevent me from going over to her, but they weren't a match for me. When it comes to Mya, I would burn the world down if it was the only way to see her. They gave up on trying to hold me back and just let me go. And so I did. My heart was beating faster than it had ever done in my entire life, 'You have to be alright Princess, you HAVE to be' I thought to myself as I was finally right in front of her. I now knew that this was my Princess, she was the one that was laid out in the road.
Falling to my knees right beside her, her back was towards me. I didn't know if it would be okay for me to turn her my way, would that hurt her even more than she was already hurt? Shaking my head, I placed my hand onto her head and ran my thin fingers through her brown hair that I have come to love so much.
"M-Mya. Please." I whimpered, I WHIMPERED, that is something that no one has ever witness me doing. Ever. She had to be okay, maybe she was just passed out like I was, that had to be it.
As I waited for a response, there never was one. I could feel water building up in my eyes, she wasn't responding to me. Without thinking of the consequences, I turned her over. Mya was on her back now, her head was now facing me but all I could see was strands of her hair covering most of her beautiful face. Her eyes were shut and there were tons of scratches and marks on her cheeks. Just like my injury to my forehead, Mya had a similar one except hers must have been much worse due to the fact that it had been bleeding consistently. As gentle as I could, I reached out and brushed away her full bangs from the injury. It definitely was much worse than I thought. There was a gash, not a small one, but one that was about as long as my index finger.
"N-no..." I muttered, the tears that built up in my eyes had finally started to run down my cheek. I buried my face in the crook of her neck and silently sobbed. At this moment, I didn't give a shit about my injuries to my face, my bike, the looks I was receiving and even though this sounds pretty bitter and heartless, I could give two shits about the man who ran into us. This may have been my fault for agreeing to take her out for a ride but if he had been watching where he was driving we would not have been in this situation right now.
"Sir" A voice said, I didn't bother to look up. My girl was cold, she was barely breathing and there was nothing I could do about it but just cry. The voice repeated it once more, this time I removed my face from her neck and glared deeply at him. Did he not understand that the love of my fucking life is hurting? Did he not understand that this may be the last time I ever get to hold her in my arms and press her against my body? Of course he didn't, if he did he would not be interrupting me!
The man glanced at me with wide eyes, he was one of the paramedics but the way he stared at me made me realize that he knew who I was. Ever since Mya came into my life, my fame has been getting around more and more. It was all thanks to her, and I still feel like I haven't thanked her properly at all. Now...I might never get that chance to. I knew these people were here to try and help my Princess, but I did not want to be away from her any longer. My sobbing made my head throb more, almost to the verge where I would most likely pass out once again. But I had to stay strong for her, I HAD to.
"We need to take both of you guys to the hospital right away, we cannot delay it or she might be-"
"Don't you dare" My voice was lower than it had ever been, I knew what he was going to say, but I refuse to let him say it.
The man gulped and shut his mouth, "We do need to give you both medical attention. At least let us place her onto a gurney" I do not want any of them to touch her, I don't want to let her go. But in order for me to be able to see her open her eyes again, I would have to.
My glare soften as I looked down at her, it looked as if she were just sleeping. I just quietly kept my gaze on her for a few more seconds, "I promise, you will get through this. My Princess gets through everything" My lips came in contact with her nose and lingered there for a moment before I pulled away. "Let me ride with you. That is the only way I will agree to this" I was being stubborn, I know. The man glanced over to the others that had the gurney ready and they nodded their head as an yes and he turned back my way and nodded as well. Everything was going to be alright, Mya would be okay and we will get over this. I felt immediate relief after telling myself that and before I knew it, I blacked out...
-
When I finally came to, I was laying in a hospital bed. The only noise coming from the room was the sounds of machines doing their job. I started to sit up until I heard a familiar female voice telling me to take it easy. "Mya?!" I did the complete opposite of taking it easy, I had immediately sat up and turned towards the voice. When I made eye contact with who it had been, I grew disappointed.
"I can tell that you are disappointed that I am not Mya right? I do apologize for not being her" Jaehee bowed down in apology, "But once we got word of what had happened, we rushed here as quickly as possible" It wasn't that I didn't appreciate Jaehee, but she just wasn't who I wanted to see at the moment. Sitting in one of the chairs in the room was Jumin. He wasn't dressed as dressed up as he usually was, today he only wore a simple white button-up shirt with a pair of black jeans. That told me that he was indeed worried about all that occurred.
"They said that the driver of the semi-truck had been under the influence of alcohol and had been known for driving recklessly during the night" Jumin said, I did not know about any of that. I clutched my fist and growled under my breath. "If I ever see him. It won't be pretty".
Jumin nodded in agreement, "For once, I will agree with your violence. He will pay for what he has done, and we will be getting every penny he has from a lawsuit" Not like I needed the money, money couldn't help this. My head began to throb like it had done before I passed out, I put my hand up to it and groaned. There was some type of bandage on my forehead, where I had been bleeding.
"You were lucky to come out with only a slight head injury. It was reckless of you to not wear helmets" That made me put my head down, Mya wanted to wear helmets but I had to convince her that we wouldn't be going very far and that we would be just fine. How dumb was I...
"I know Jumin. I already feel bad enough, don't you think I suffered enough?!" It sounded hostile but that was only because I was angry with myself and the bastard who had done this. Why of all nights I decided to take her out on the night where he was driving? "I need to see her. How is she?".
Both Jaehee and Jumin were quiet for awhile, that pissed me off. I had to know how she was. If they would not tell me, I would find out myself. I grabbed the light sheet that was on me and threw it off of my body. Jaehee rushed and reached to stop me but I brushed her hand off and stood up as best as I could alone. "Either give me her room number, or Ill go find it myself" That was a threat, here I was, Zen, making a threat to my friends.
"208. She's only a few doors down, but Zen there is something you should know before you-" I did not even let her finish, I rushed out the room and started off towards her room. Both Jumin and Jaehee slowly followed after.
-
I reached her room quicker than I realized. Here I was, standing in front of her door. I had to brace myself for what I was to expect when I entered the room, would she be unconscious still? Only way to find out was to go inside. I took a deep breath, grabbed the handle to the door and opened it up. There I could see Saeyoung (I will call him literally all of his names in this story so no confusion there!) and Yoosung sitting in chairs next to her bed, and there she was. Saeyoung must have been saying something funny because she was sitting up, laughing. We had similar bandages on our heads, and she had a few white patched bandages on both her cheeks. There had been another bandage that was wrapped around her left arms but other than that, she seemed alright.
Yoosung heard the door and his gaze met with my own. He gave me a smile and used his hand to have me come towards them. I did just that and before I knew it, I was right on Mya's side.
"Mya" I said, she turned her head towards me and tilted it to the side as she glanced over me. Jaehee and Jumin had entered and were talking to Yoosung, I heard them tell him that I had not known just yet. What did that mean? What didn't I know? What was going on?
"Um. Luciel, who is this?" My eyes widened, she was pointing at me and was asking Luciel who I was?
"Mya. Stop messing around, It's me. Zen." I said to her, bending down in front of her, taking hold of her hand and holding it in mines. Her warmth was back, it was nice to feel that since not too long before she was as cold as winter's snow.
"I-I'm sorry Zen. I don't know who you are" What. The. Hell was going on?
