"Keegan…" Troian said her voice shaky.
He was sure that she was going to leave. There was pure shock and pity in her eyes. She sat awkwardly, and she set down her beer, her hands shaking.
"Troian, I know you're engaged, I… I just had to say it. Cause… I love you, and I don't want you to get hurt…"
Troian suddenly got up, and grabbed her purse.
"I… I have to go"-
"Troian, please"-
"No, I have to go" Troian said sternly, and tears were in her eyes.
She stood up, uneasy, and Keegan reached for her hand, but she pulled away. She ran to the door, unlatching it, and shoving herself out. Keegan sprang up, going after her, but she was barging out. Keegan ran to the door way, yelling out;
"Troian! Troian, wait!"
But she was already running down the hall, her boots clicking against the concrete.
Keegan ran a few steps forward, and watched her shaky figure disappear down the stairs into the very early morning. Keegan stood there for a few moments, and he felt a cold shimmer overload his heart, and he felt his hands go cold.
"I'm sorry…" Keegan said, tears welling in his eyes. He maybe had just lost his whole friendship with Troian, he had ruined everything. Keegan felt his legs shake as Minin came out, and looked up to Keegan. For once, neither did Minin make a sound. The cat just sat next to Keegan, watching Keegan slowly break.
As Troian ran down the stairs of the apartment, she was confused.
She should just keep running… but she wanted to also run back to him and hold him.
She had looked back when he had gone after her, and he was close to tears. It was different when he was acting to cry, it was scripted, rehearsed… But Keegan was truly heartbroken, and she had caused this… She did care about him… Why did this have to happen? She loved Patrick… but… maybe it was because she never thought Keegan had ever felt 'that' way about her… She wanted to believe that they could be together, but she knew it could ruin their careers… unless they were together through all of it…
"Stop it…" She told herself.
She climber into her car, feeling tears well up in her eyes. Troian slammed her car door, and sobbed.
Why, why did he have to say it?
She thought.
She kept sobbing, and she put her key into the slot, her hands still shaking. It began to rain steadily, and she let out a few sobs.
She began to pull her car into reverse, it was raining hard, and it was hard to see.
Troian continued to pull out of the space, but there was a loud screech of tires, and a bright flash of light, and Troian braked her car, and then the world went black as she felt the collision.
Keegan heard the clash outside of his apartment.
He ran to his window, and flung open the curtain to see the parking lot…
"NO! Troian!"
He ran out of his apartment, grabbing his coat, and dialed in 911.
"911, what is your emergency?"
"Hi, there is a car accident, oh my god, please hurry!"
And Keegan tells the operator the address.
He runs out into the rain, and he rushes to Troian's car.
The other driver is a teenage male.
"Oh my god!" The teenager yells, running towards Troian's driver seat door.
"No, stay away!"
Keegan yells, and pushes him out of the way.
He opens the door, and Troian is unconscious, the passenger door crushed against her.
Keegan instantly checks for a heartbeat.
Nothing…nothing…nothing.
"TROIAN! Please, god, please wake up!"
But she was bleeding from her head.
Keegan pulls her out, wrapping her in his spare coat. He holds her, and then the loud buzz of an ambulance truck approaches them.
The park the car in front of them, and the teenage boy is crying.
"Troian…"
Keegan can only say her name.
The men bring over a stretcher, and carry her on top of it. The laid her on it, and brought her under the roof of the parking lot.
Keegan never let go of her hand.
"Okay, charge to 100, please!"
One guy called, and he shocked Troian's chest, she lurched forward.
Keegan was restless, sobbing, and broken hearted…
"Please… Troian… please…"
"Charge to 200 please"
And she lurched forward again, but feel again.
"300, charge to 300"
"God, please Troian, I can't lose you… I love you…"
Keegan whispered.
And they shocked her, and her mouth opened with a shaky breath.
Her eyes opened ever so slightly, and she moved her head over to look at Keegan.
"Keegs…Keegan…"
Keegan kisses Troian's forehead, crying.
"Oh my god, Troian, your heart stopped… your heart stopped…"
"Shhh… It's okay… It's okay…" And she went unconscious again.
"We're going to have to take her to the hospital" A man with blonde hair said.
"Okay…"
And they pushed her into the ambulance truck, Keegan standing in the rain, still in shock. Keegan realized he could've lost her right there in that moment… She could've been dead. Keegan felt himself let out a sob at the thought, and he raced to his car to go to the hospital, to never leave her side again, the thought of almost losing his girl was overwhelming… And he knew he couldn't love anyone more than Troian.
