I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it babe
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
"I think you had enough." Josh warned as he took Drake's third beer out of his hand.
"Oh come on Joshie!" Drake protested. "We just graduated high school! We're celebrating!"
"I know, but you don't want to over celebrate." Josh said.
"And you should start celebrating. Come on Joshie live a little!" Drake said.
"Well unlike you I'm responsible and don't do illegal things!" Josh snapped.
"Then don't! Live the rest of your life being Mr. Goodie Goodie! But don't ruin it for me! Just because your a big responsible baby! You party pooper!" Drake snapped back.
"I-I just don't want you to get hurt......" Josh said softly.
Drake's face softened. He sat on Josh's lap, wrapped his arms around his neck, and looked up at him.
"Awwww Joshie! You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine, nothing is going to happen to me."
Josh was about to protest. He was about to tell him about a bunch of bad things that could happen to him if he got drunk, but Drake's lips on his stopped him.
When they broke apart their foreheads were touching and Drake was smiling.
"I love you Joshie."
Josh softly shook his head and smiled, finally giving in.
"I love you too." He said as he handed Drake the beer.
Drake gave Josh one more kiss before he got off his lap and disappeared in the crowd.
September 1st, 2003
It took the life right out of me
Hung up the phone
And raced out the door
Broken
I tried to believe that it wasn't true
But in my heart I always knew
That being the life of the party would catch up to you
Your family was waiting and crying for three damn hours
It was five thirty in the morning. Josh was pacing back & forth, worry &and fear was running in his system as he waited for Drake. When the phone rang he ran to it and quickly picked it up.
"Oh my god Drake! You scared me man! Where are you?! Are you ok?!" He yelled before he gave the person a chance to speak.
"....Is this the Parker residence?"
Josh was disappointed when it was a woman's voice.
"Y-yeah."
"This is the hospital calling about Drake Parker....I'm sorry to tell you this....but Drake was in a bad car accident and he's in critical condition."
Josh's heart stopped and he dropped the phone.
"Josh, Who was that?"
He turned around to see his parents a few feet behind him.
Their looks formed concern when they saw the broken look on his face and the tears forming in his eyes.
"D-Drake......A-Accident.....H-Hospital..." Is all Josh managed to say.
Their faces fell.
"Walter go get Megan...We're going to the hospital."
Josh raced out the door and went into the back seat of the car.
They were waiting in the waiting room in the hospital. Audrey was crying on Walter shoulder. Walter had his arms wrapped around her, tears silently falling from his own eyes. Megan stared at the waiting room entrance, she used all her strength to hold in the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes. Josh was pacing back and forth, tears stinging at his eyes.
I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it babe
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
Everythings cool on the straight away
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
Why babe?
"Drake!" Josh called. He was looking through the crowd to find Drake.
Josh found both Eric & Craig on the floor groaning,
"Oh my god!" Josh yelled, running over to help them up.
"What happened?" Josh asked as he helped Craig up.
"Drake left." Craig said as he helped his best friend Eric up.
"What? W-what do you mean he left?" Josh asked.
"He said he was leaving.....But he was drunk, so me and Craig tried to keep him from leaving and told him that he should go find you, so you could drive him home." Eric said.
"But he kept denying that he was drunk, and when we still didn't let him go.....He got violent." Craig added.
"Sorry Josh.....But he got away." Eric said apologetically.
Josh started wobbling.
"Whoa there buddy." Eric said as he steadied Josh.
"Do you wanna ride home?" Craig asked.
Josh slowly nodded.
Eric grabbed one of Josh's arms and put it around his shoulder, while Craig did that to the other arm.
"Don't worry buddy....We'll take care of you." Craig said as he and Eric dragged him out of the party.
Every time I'm home I pass that road
Driving alone and the street feels cold
Seeing your face yeah it's haunting me
My mind goes crazy tryin' to figure out
Just where you'd be four years from now
And what you were thinking when the lights came down
The doctors were trying to save you for three damn hours
It's been a year since Drake's death. Josh was going home for spring break. He had to go on the road, the road where Drake's accident happened. He didn't want to, that road haunted him, but it was the only road that would take him home. As he gets on it he sees Drake standing on the side of the road in the rain, soak in wet. He looked just like he did that one day in class, after Josh was done with him. Warm tears stung at Josh's eyes as he sees the boy he misses so much.
"I still love you Drake. I'll never stop. You have and will always have my heart.....Apart of me died when you died." Josh said softly as he past the Drake illusion.
Josh wonders where Drake would be four years from now,Where Josh and him would be four years from now. He wonders what Drake's last thoughts were.
I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it babe
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
Everythings cool on the straight away
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
Why babe?
The doctor walked in. Audrey, Walter, & Megan stood up. Josh stopped pacing. They all hoped for good news but by the look of the doctors face it wasn't.
"We did everything we could....I'm sorry."
Audrey sank to the floor, bringing Walter down with her. She cried even harder then before. Walter started to cry too. Megan lost all her strength and let all the tears she been holding fall. Josh just ran out of the room.
"Josh!" He heard his family yell, but he needed to see it for himself.
Who ever said that life was fair
When you live without a care
When you're invincible
When you're invincible
When you're invincible
Who thinks about leaving when you're livin'
Josh found the room. He saw Drake's lifeless form. he went by his side, grabbed his hand, and sunk to the floor.
"No...Drake....You can't be dead." Josh whispered brokenly.
His broken tears turned into broken cries.
'He shouldn't have given Drake the beer back, then Drake would still be here.'
"I'm....sorry..... Drake.....I.....have always protected you.....But this time I didn't......I'm.....sorry....." Josh said inbetween his broken sobs.
'Drake told me nothing would happen to him....And look at him now he's gone.'
Josh stood up, not letting go of Drake's cold, tear stained hand. He looked down at him.
"Y-you told me..... nothing was going to happen to you....."
Josh hugged Drake's dead body, burying his face in his hollow chest, & sobbed.
"Come back Drake......You can't leave me all alone......I can't live without you...."
"If you won't come back.....Bring me with you...."
"I love you......I love you so much....."
"You were wrong when you said you needed me way more then I needed you......I need you Drake.....I need you more then air....Without you my whole world will fall apart..."
The doctors came in and tried to pry Josh away from Drake but he wouldn't let go.
"No. No....I need to stay with Drake..." Josh cried as the doctors finally pryed him from Drake and started pulling him away.
He grabbed onto door frame. "I'll always love you Drake......Nobody will ever replace you....I promise!" He cried to Drake, before the doctors dragged him out of the room.
