Chapter 2:

Omg, ive never put up a 2nd chapter… but I promised this 1 to solosinger1.

Here goes…

Courtney POV

We've been going out for two months

And what a two months it's been.

I was walking home from Nikko's house,

The sun had just set,

It was dark,

I wasn't being careful,

No one ever went down that street anyway,

The lights came from the right.

They came fast.

I didn't have time to react.

Everything happened in slomotion, like I was a step behind everyone else.

I hadn't realized the car had hit me until I was on the ground, my head throbbing,

I couldn't move anything.

I remember a frantic woman, sirens, bright lights, a mask over my face…

Then everything went black.

10 days later

No POV

Courtney!

Courtney!

Nikko's voice ran through her head.

"Ugh" Courtney groaned, "Nikko?" She longed to hear his angelic voice. Courtney thought back to last show choir and smiled at the memory of her and Nikko dancing on stage together, but something was off, the memory was fuzzy, but that was probably the clearest memory she had.

Courtney opened her eyes for the first time in almost two weeks, but there was no one there.

"that's funny." Courtney mumbled to herself as she pulled herself out of the hospital bed.

Wait… hospital bed?

She looked around, and tried to remember why she was in a hospi…

Ooooohhhh… right. The accident.

She clutched the railing of the bed to keep herself from falling.

Just outside the door, there was a sniffiling sound, followed by a quiet sob.

She called out, still holding the railing, "Nikko?"

Still no answer.

Courtney steadied herself and walked toward the door, grabbing at the walls to steady herself.

"Nikko?" she asked more quietly.

All of a sudden, her mom appeared in the doorway, both relief and disappointment washed through Courtney. She wanted so badly to see Nikko.

"Courtney! You're awake! Oh, my baby! We were so worried." Her mom's voice was washed in relief, but her eyes were red and puffy from all of the crying. Bags under her eyes made her look like she hadn't slept in days.

"Wait, mom, who was worried? How long was I out?"

"10 days, sweet heart. Let me call a nurse and you go rest, we have to talk."

I was worried, but I remembered my initial reason for getting out of my bed,

"Have you seen Nikko?" Court asked, but her mom had already left to summon a nurse.

She sat down at the edge of her bed when just the person she was looking for walked in the room. Nikko, unlike her mother, seemed depressed, but it hadn't looked like he'd cried. His lips turned down at the edges and his eyes watched the ground.

Courtney POV

"Nikko." I said.

Nikko looked up, surprised I was awake. A smile spread across his face.

He dropped his backpack and ran over to me and then…

I fainted.

-----------------------------------14 minuites and 27 seconds later---------------------------------

Before I opened my eyes, I tried to picture Nikko's face so I would be ready this time.

I was sure that was what made me faint.

I opened my eyes slowly, letting the light in and letting them adjust before meeting his.

When I did, I had pulled myself back to reality.

Nikko's face was down, his tear stained cheeks were glimmering in the artificial light.

His eyes were full of worry, "What's wrong?" I asked.

I had never seen Nikko cry and frankly, it scared me.

"Court… I cant help but feel guilty about this whole thing… If I had walked you home that night, I could have… you wouldn't have…" he started to sob and I held him in my arms, wondering how we had managed to switch places,

"shhh, it's okay" I said.

"No Court, it's not," his voice was rough, "I'm not a good boyfriend, I could have stopped you from getting hit."

"Nikko?" Now I was scared, he'd never acted this way before.

"Courtney," he choked out between sobs, "The doctor said that when the car… hit you," he winced, "you hit your head very hard and cracked your skull,"

I gasped, this was more damage than I thought, suddenly I was feeling woozy, "He also said that you would suffer from brain damage for a very long time, if not your whole life."

I was shocked at the news; I reached up to touch my head and winced… what would this mean? No more dancing? But show choir was my dream, I couldn't give that up.

I just couldn't.

But I didn't blame Nikko!

I reached for his face and brought his eyes up to look at me, "Nikko, this is not your fault."

Before he could argue, I kissed him. The kiss let him know that I truly didn't blame him for the accident and that I still loved him.

He kissed me back softly and tenderly, still having not forgiven himself.

I knew this wasn't over, but I could still live a fairly normal life… right?

Yay! Its over! Or is it? Actually its not.

I already have the 3rd chapter all planned out, but its up to u.

DO U WANT 2 KNOW HOW THIS ENDS?? Well tell me. Come onn, the buttons right there, PUSH IT! And seriously, how long does it take to write a review, all I need is, "it was good" or "it totally and completely sucked" oh, and don't 4get the, "please write more." That ones important.

R&R and maybe ill type up the third! 3, princessrainbowflower
