Warped Reality
Prolog
It didn't take long, yet everything was running in slow motion. Distraction wasn't a good excuse but it was the only one he had. His mind racing as the oncoming car got close with no hint of slowing down. His mind breaking down into nothing. Everything stopped then, his mind processing one thought, I love you Zack.
Shaking his head and looking at the deflated airbag in front of him he remembered. The collision taking everything in took longer than he thought. The smoke coming from the glove box, the door intruding five inches into his side, he was trapped. He couldn't get out fear sent him into a panic, adrenalin pulsing through his veins. It was then another young man appeared at his shattered window.
"Are you ok?" he said taking in quick examinations of the vehicle. The passenger couldn't help but stare at the blatantly asked question. He couldn't feel anything, he could see the blood running down his arm but where it came from he didn't know. After a few moments his heightened senses fell, he felt the cold grasp of unconsciousness beckon to him, so he allowed himself to slip away.
"Hey Rude! We need to get this door ajar now!" the blond had passed into a state of oblivion, his head resting against the steering wheel of the now demolished car. Things didn't seem to be going well for said blond. After wrenching the door open Reno and Rude slowly pulled the limp body out of the car and on to a stretcher.
"His ID says his name's Cloud Strife, about 20 years old." rude said precariously. Nerves were eating at both men. With the state of the vehicle things didn't look good for Cloud. Blood hadn't stopped flowing from a cut on his arm making Reno's heart fluster at the sight. Loading him into the ambulance they were off.
Zack's POV
Something wasn't right. He could feel it with every fiber of his being. His heart was fluttering setting his mind in chaos. He couldn't think of anything that could've gone wrong today. Cloud was at a job interview/orientation, and he didn't really keep in touch with the rest of his family, what ever was left of it. Deciding it was just mental strain he took a small breather.
Leaving his work desk behind Zack had meandered into the employee break room. Grabbing the pot of stale coffee he poured a cup before sitting at an empty table. Bouncing his leg, seemingly impatient, he felt the nervousness rise back in the pit of his stomach. Downing the small cup of coffee he leaned back, threatening gravity, in his chair.
Jumping slightly as his phone began having a fit in his pocket, he pulled it out with a hesitant hand. Not recognizing the number he flipped in open and answered with a hesitant "Hello…?"
"Is the Zack Fair?" the voice sounded mechanical, devoid of any emotion. Was this a prank?
"Yes, who's calling?" tensing for the answer he held his breath.
"This is the Nibelheim hospital, we have a patient under our care, your number is the only one listed in his contacts. We thought it best that someone should know of his condition." again there was no emotion, as if the voice was only stating facts.
"Who is it?" he whispered barely able to choke out the words. He knew before the impassive voice could respond. His Cloud, his precious Cloud was at the hospital.
"His name is Cloud Strife."
