Please leave a review if you think I should continue with this story or if you want me to stop and continue the last one first.

Chapter One - I Glanced Down

The music was blaring as my favorite song played. Tonight had been an amazing night, Lila and I had shared our first kiss. This night couldn't get any better. The image of her grape lip gloss against my lips kept reappearing in my head.

Man, she had looked amazing tonight. She wore a purple mini skirt, a stripped see through shirt with a black undershirt. It had taken all year to get to go out with me. Now she was finally mine.

We had started the night off at eating some ice cream since our movie didn't start for another hour. Everything was going according to plans and everything had to be perfect. We started talking about school and how excited we were for 10th grade. She had also said that she hoped that we shared all our classes together. It gave me butterflies to know she wanted to be with meal day. I think I might had even turned beet red when she said it.

It was at the movies where we had started to hold hands. We stood in line to get snacks and then she turned to looked at me. I think I started staring too hard because she started blushing but I couldn't help it. She was really beautiful, her red hair still long but she had put curls in her hair today along with eye liner. Something that she doesn't normally do but it made her eyes pop out more.

Did she really go out of her way to look this good for me? I wasn't going to ask her but I kept my hopes high. The movie came and went and I honestly couldn't tell you what it was about or if it was even a good movie. Lucky for me she didn't ask me what I thought about it because I would have to come up with something totally made up.

We decided to grab some pizza but didn't stay long since I did want to make a good impression on her dad and bring her home early even though it wasn't a school night.

When we approached her door I didn't expect it, it all happened so fast that I wished it had lasted longer. Before I could stop and say something to her she was gone. The date had gone so well that I am sure I will get more chances to savoir her kisses.

Now, here I am driving back home and I can't seem to get her off of my head.

(BUZZ) (BUZZ) (BUZZ)

I looked down to see my phone light up with Lila's name pop up with an envelope, letting me know she had sent me a text. I immediately opened it not thinking.

Next thing I knew I heard a huge thud hit the front of the car and my foot instantly went to the brake. My head flew forward and I hit the steering wheel. A little dazed and confused I started hearing screams I could feel myself losing consciousness. I looked down and started seeing blood on my pants from the dripping of the blood from my head.

I opened the door to my car and stumbled to the ground. I tried to balance myself but it was really hard to get the energy. There was a crowd of people all surrounding something. I started walking closer and closer to the crowd but as soon as was about to see anything a hand grabbed my arm. " You need to sit down young man, your bleeding really bad. The ambulances is on their way." Feeling a little confused at his statement, I turned to look at him," Why do I need more than one ambulance?" I asked.

The man looked down and starred at the crowd of people. " You hit a young lady who was crossing the street." The words kept repeating in my head over and over again. There was no way that was true, I only put my head down for a second. Could I have really had hit someone in just the one second I turned my head. There was no way that was true.

I had to see her, I had to see if he was telling the truth. I ran as fast as I could and when I finally reached the crowd of people I started getting scared. I could see her legs, one of her shoes was missing, but most importantly she wasn't moving. She wasn't screaming or crying out in pain. She just laid there. That is when I recognized a petite girl hovered over the girl on the ground.

It was Phoebe crying in her hands. Phoebe grabbed the hand of the girl that was lying on the ground and said, " don't worry Helga your going to be fine. The ambulance is on it's way."

My heart had stopped when I heard the name Helga. I fell to the ground and couldn't believe what was going on. I started crawling toward Helga, there was blood everywhere. If Phoebe wouldn't have said her name I wouldn't have been able to recognize her. I didn't know what to do , I didn't know what to say. What had I done. I could hear the ambulance getting closer and closer.

The paramedic approached and I quickly moved out of the way. They started checking her pulse and after a few seconds I heard one of them say " she has a pulse, its really weak, she has lost a lot of blood, we need to get her to the hospital now!" He looked to the other paramedic and said " call in life flight, she won't make it if we take her by car." The other paramedic agreed and radioed it in.

It was a relief to know she was still alive.

I sat there for what seemed like an eternity trying to wrap my head around the events. Eventually it all became too much for me and I fell to the ground.

Two hours later...

Beep, Beep, Beep was all I could hear. I started looking around to see where I was at. It was all so white and very cold. Then I could make out my parents sitting next to me crying and smiling at me. I was trying to remember everything that had happened but it was all still fuzzy.

" Arnold are you okay baby?" my mom asked. "Huh? Where am I, What happened?" I turned to my mom and asked her. She suddenly looked worried and looked at my dad. Then she began to say " honey you were in a car accident, the doctor said you are going to be fine and should be leaving tomorrow" before she could finish her statement I interrupted her " Helga! Where is Helga? Is she okay?".

My mom began to start crying and before she could answer me a cop came into my room.

" Hello, I am detective Rodgers. Can I ask your son a few questions regarding what happened tonight?' The cop was looking at my parents. "My son just woke up, can this wait?" my dad replied back to the officer. "I know, but it is real important that we find out what exactly happened tonight." Officer Rodgers said back. My mom nodded in approval and glanced at me.

"We also want to have a urine sample to make sure your son wasn't drinking or under the influence of any drugs." Officer Rodgers stated to my mom. " No, I don't approve of any test or anything else without a warrant. As a matter of fact your questions can wait in till my son has his lawyer here." My mom now furious at the officer.

I began to become more confuse. "No, wait. You can get a sample, I don't care. I wasn't drinking or doing anything like that mom." " Are you sure son?" My mom grabbed my hand. I nodded my head and the officer had the nurse draw some blood samples and after she was gone he turned to me.

" All we want to do is find out everything that happened and we will be gone." The officer stated. I nodded my head and began to tell him everything. He jotted everthing down in his notebook and when I was done telling him what had happened he stood up and left.

I turned to my parents and said, "mom, dad I know your disappointed in me but I didnt know all of this would happen, I honestly had just glanced down when I hit Helga. Mom, Helga. How is Helga?" She took a deep breathe and said, " Honey, Helga is in a coma. She hit her head really bad. The doctor said it's only a matter of time before she goes. They already have her on a breathing machine. It just depends on when the Pataki's want to pull the plug. I'm sorry Arnold."

I couldn't believe it, this couldn't be happening. This had to be some nightmare and i would wake up soon. I looked down and began to cry.
