-Prolog-
It's was the worst news for Kevin to hear. His Aunt and Uncle died in a drunk driving accident and to make matters worse his cousin Renee was in the hospital. It was ironic she was drunk herself and her parents were going to go pick her up so she won't have to drive drunk. Lucky she wasn't in the car but she got into a fight with several girls and lost. He was sitting outside her room while his parents were talking with the doctor down the hall. Kevin and Renee were close as they got older she started to be able to come visit during breaks because of her parents work.
Kevin's phone went off. Nazz was calling.
"Hey Kev, how is she doing?"
"She hasn't woken up yet, but the doctors said she is okay."
"That's good everyone is really worried about you dude."
"Well, let them know I'm okay and she'll be living with us just so you-."
Just then a girl comes running down the hall and straight into Renee's room.
"Nazz I got to go some girl just ran into her room!" and hung up the phone
"Who are you and why are you in my cousins room!?" He saw the girl was in tears.
"I'm sorry I'm Bekah Renee's girlfriend.. You must be Kevin again I'm sorry about just running in here.."
"Its fine just was worried, so she's gay?"
"Not really she's more pan ha guess she didn't tell you about me yet."
" No I guess not but if you make her happy I don't really care."
Just then Renee started to wake up and Bekah ran to her side and Kevin got the doctor. He came in along with his parents. They all looked at her with a soft joy look in their faces. Kevin was just happy she was okay. He looked at Bekah as she was still crying but now they were tears of joy.
Renee "Bekah what are you doing here? What is everyone doing here? Why am I here?"
Doctor- "Renee, you got into a nasty fight last night, you have a couple bruised ribs and a concussion."
"Well where are my parents?"
The doctor then walked out of the room. The room fell silent nobody made eye contact with her I looked to my parents as they looked at each other for words.
"Why isn't anyone talking?!"
I stood there in shock I've never heard Renee so angry and all I wanted to do was hold her and say sorry and right as I was about to say something my dad opened his mouth.
"Renee they were killed by a drunk driver… I'm sorry."
I stood there not knowing what to say I watched Renee frozen as her girlfriend looked at her with tears in her eyes. My dad walked out of the room and my mom following, I don't blame him he lost his sister and just had to tell her daughter that she was gone.
"Renee what happened last night? Who hurt you?"
I watched her face grow pale and seeing the pain in her eyes I knew I needed to shut up.
"Kevin, Bekah please let me be."
Okay when we both got into the hall Bekah lost it.
"Kevin it's all my fault, we got into a big fight last night we broke up and I hurt her really badly so she left my house and then about a couple hours later I got a call from her she was drunk apologizing over and over again and next thing I heard was these girls who were my friends years ago walk up to her yelling at her and she just kept telling them to leave her alone and the last thing I heard was the phone drop and then I found out she was hear."
I didn't know what to say she ended up crying on me. She then had to pick up her phone.
"Hey mom…"
"Yeah I'm on my way home now she's okay…."
-couple days later-
Renee was finally able to leave the hospital and she and I went back to her house to help pack things up. I walked into her room seeing swim trophy's and ribbons.
"Wow Renee I forgot how good of a swimmer you were. Are you going to try out for the Peach Creek High team?"
"Yeah man I will be I'm not giving it up I can see Bekah at least at meets and on top of that I got a new suit that was a gift from my swim coach."
"That's good haha."
We finally finished packing up her room and hauled into a trailer and started the drive to peach creek. The ride was quiet I drove Renee's car and my dad was driving the truck.
"So Renee aren't you going to say good bye to Bekah?"
"I would if her dad would let me over, her dad doesn't exactly like me very much because I corrupted his daughter into being gay."
"Man that's bull shit he should be fine with it as long as you both are happy."
"Well I'm not the best person in the world but she fell in love with me."
"That's good man by the way how did you guys meet?"
"We meet back in kindergarten she was new to the area and lived near me and she made friends with these girl that I thought and still do think they are beyond stupid so I ended up lumping them together as stupid and stuff I basically bullied them for a long time, then middle school hit and her and I were in advance placement classes and she joined my swim team at the rec center and I realized she was smart and nothing like them, and we became friends but she couldn't tell her other friends or they would hate her just as much as they hated me. The more we got to know each other the more I ended it up falling for her and I guess it was the same with her. Then her "friends" found out we were just friends because she lied to them and I didn't mind it at first then it did start to bother me a lot because it was like I couldn't hold her at school so I lost it one day and told her how stupid they were and how much they were holding her back and it ended in a big fight but in the end she realized I was right and slowly stopped hanging out with them which I didn't want that to happen I just wanted her to tell them that we were together and then they started to be the bullies and she was there main target. I got into a lot of fights with them protecting her, and now here we are I'm worried about her but she is just going to say we broke up so maybe they will leave her alone so yeah."
"Damn dude sounds like this guy at my school who is like real smart and has loser friends."
"Dude are you into him?"
"Yeah I am but he'd never go for me."
"Ha that's what I thought about Bekah and we've been together for two years now."
"Damn maybe I should."
We finally arrived at the cul-da-sac and unpacked her things Edd and Nazz helped.
"Thanks dudes for helping out."
Edd
"No problem Kevin I'm happy to have been able to help."
"Well she and Nazz seem to be getting along."
"That's good so there is a science project coming up and we were assigned to work together just so you know I do have most of it done, since you have been gone for a while."
"Thanks dude yeah tell me what I can do and I'll do it. By the way does anyone know why I was gone?"
"All we know is your cousin was in the hospital and that's all Nazz would tell anyone if anyone asked."
"Okay good let's keep it like that."
"Okay Kevin as you wish I'll be going now Nazz still needs help with math."
I watched Nazz and Edd leave the house.
"So Renee…"
"Let me guess Edd?"
"Yeah promise you won't tell?"
"Yeah man why would I do something that could hurt you? Well I'm going to bed got to get up early for swim try outs good night man."
"Night."
