You Can't Love Someone You Don't Trust

Chapter 2

Adam's POV:

I couldn't believe what had just happened before my eyes. Eli, my best friend, had just broken up with Clare, my other best friend. Eli had gotten in his car a drove away, Clare ran out of the house like a mad person, and stopped in the middle of the street watching Eli's hearse disappear into the distance. Then all of a sudden before I could even get two little letters out of my mouth, a car collided with Clare's body. Her body was camouflaged with the pavement. When I got to her, her tears, the rain and her blood drowned her eyes and face causing her to not breath. I lifted her head and soon discovered that it had been bashed in. The force from the car indented and caved her head in causing blood to stain her curly autumn hair. I ripped of my jacket and raped it around the gushing wound on her head. With tears running down my face, while holding her lifeless body, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed 911.

Operator-"911 operator, what's your emergency?"

Adam-"OMG MY BEST FRIEND WAS JUST HIT BY A CAR!" "HURRY WE NEED HELP PLEASE."

Operator-"Sir I need you to calm down please. I need a location of where you are."

Adam-"220 Bartley Dr, Toronto, ON M4A 1G2, Canada. PLEASE HURRY SHE'S BLEEDING."

Operator-"OK help is on the way. Apply pressure to the back of the wound."

Adam-"ok I did. Ok I see the ambulance, they are here."

Operator-"ok bye."

The ambulance pulled up, opened its doors, and brought out the stretcher. I didn't know what I should do so I just got in the back of the ambulance with her. When they shut the doors and started to drive away they started working furiously to take care of her. I just sat back since there was nothing I could do to help. I decided to try to call Clare's mom, but she didn't answer so I just left a voice mail. Then I called Eli. I didn't know how I was going to explain this, hell I didn't even know if I could talk with all of the shock that I had endured. I went down my contact list, scrolled down all the way to Eli's name, and hit the call button.

Me-"Hello, Eli are you there?"

Eli-"Adam, I really don't want to hear how I messed up an-."

Me-"Eli, listen, Clare's hurt."

Eli-"What do you mean Clare's hurt?"

Me-"Eli, I don't know how it happened, when you drove off in Morty, Clare ran out into the street after you, and then she got hit by a car, and her head is really hurt bad. You need to come to the hospital."

Eli-"OMG, I'll be there as fast as I can."

Me-"Please hurry Eli, it's really bad."

Eli-"Ok I'm coming."

By the time I got off the phone we were already at the hospital. They got her out, and into the hospital. I followed closely by. They said that they were going into surgery immediately and when I tried to follow them back there they stopped me and said I was allowed back there. Soon after I saw Eli running trough the hospital doors.

Eli-"ADAM! Where is she?"

Me-"They just took her back to surgery, and we're not allowed back there."

Eli-"But I love her I have to get back there."

Me-"I know but the best thing right now is to just wait."

Eli-"Ok,"

We sat down and waited. Eli told me he wanted to know everything that happened. So I told him everything. From the time he left in Morty, until right now.

Eli-"I can't believe that I hurt her. I love her with all my heart and now….uh I don't know what I'm going to do if I loose her."

Me-"Nothing is going to happen to her I promise."

Eli-"Yeah, that's what everyone told me when Julia was hurt. But she didn't turn out ok, she turned out dead. I can't deal with the thought of loosing her Adam." "I don't know what I'll do."

Me-"Eli, I know you have been through a lot, but you just have to have hope and faith. I know you don't believe in any of that stuff, but that's the only thing we can do right now."

Eli-"Adam, I was so bad to her. I didn't mean anything I said, not at all. I don't want to be without her, I can't. I just wish I could go back and take it all back. If I hadn't broken up with her this wouldn't of happened. We wouldn't be sitting in a hospital waiting for her to get out of surgery, we would be together at the lake house." "This is all my fault."

Me-"it's now your fault Eli. You had nothing to do with this. Ok."

Eli-"She probably never wants to see me again." "She probably hates me." he started crying and I didn't know what I could do to comfort him.

Me-"You listen to me, that girl in that room back there loves you to death, she loves you with all her heart. She would never want to live without you. Trust me I know. She tells me everything. She loves you; hell she's loved you from the moment she laid eyes on you. She would do anything for you. And you need to believe me when I tell you that, that girl is fighting as hard as she could. She loves you Eli, she really does."

Eli-'She told you she loves me?"

Me-"Yes she did. You have no idea how much that girl loves you. No matter what you do, no matter what you say, no matter how much you hurt her, purposely or accidentally, she loves you and she will love you even after the day that she dies."

And with that Eli broke down. She cried and cried and cried. I just sat there and held him. I cried with him all night long. She is our best friend. She was always there for us when we needed her. She is the best person I have ever met. She is kind, loving, caring, sweet, and generous. God couldn't take her away, he just couldn't. I cant count how many times that night I wished I could take her place, and it be me instead of her. She didn't deserve this. She was god's gift to us and he had the ability to take her away. All we could do was pray that he didn't.
