Regrets
I sat on the rock at the beach and rocked myself back and forth tears pouring down my face, but I wasn't crying. What had poor Callie done to deserve this, why did I do this, why am I such an idiot, why did I have to kiss her. I closed my eyes and listened to the waves coming in and crashing against the rocks, now I was actually crying. Before I had much of a chance to relax a comforting hand lay on my shoulder. "Hey Erika" I looked up at her and got up giving her a hug. Hopefully she wouldn't see the tears running down my face.
"Bradin, are you ok?" I didn't answer, just turned away and sat back down into the sand. "I couldn't say it…" I suddenly felt the words come out of my mouth. She sat down beside me. "Say what?" I wiped away the tears. "She told me I love you and I couldn't say it…I couldn't and now…I won't have the chance" Erika laid on my shoulder. "I'm sorry Bradin, I really am, but there's nothing I can do or say to make her come back, you just have to go and tell her how you feel now, so you can get it off the chest, because lets look at things reasonably, Callie's probably not going to wake up" I knew she was right as much as I didn't want her to be.
I ran into the house, I don't know why ran but I felt like I had to hurry. Grabbing my clothes, running into the bathroom, changing and coming back out in what looked like a whole 5 minutes. I ran into Aunt Eva on the way out the door, I really didn't want to talk to her right now, because I knew the "Drunk Driving" subject would come up and right now, I felt guilty enough as it is.
"Bradin honey, where are you going?" I turned away hoping to still hide the tears that wouldn't stop coming. "Down to the hospital…" she picked up her coat, "I'm coming" she grabbed Derrick and Nikki and we drove down to the hospital, in what seemed like the shortest half hour in the world. We got there and Jay, Johnny and Lucas were already there. They all got up seeing the 4 of us come in. "Hey mate, how you doing?" Jay asked placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. I nodded and sat down into the chair. "Any news" Eva whispered, but they shook their heads.
About an hour later the doctor walked in and called out Callie's name, I immediately jumped, maybe a reflex or maybe because I knew his look wasn't good. "I have good and bad news, can I please talk to you?" she pulled Aunt Eva and Jay aside while I stood there with Johnny, Nikki and Derrick who had already started falling asleep.
(NO ONE'S P.O.V)
The doctor pulled them aside making sure Bradin didn't hear anything, he knew them both well and knew this would be heartache for him. "Okay, good and bad news, more of the bad" he took in a deep breath and Jay held Eva's hand, squeezing it slightly, comforting her. "Callie is, still unconscious, but stable, good news, now the bad…" Eva let out a relaxed breath but then tensed up again. "Her spinal chord looks really damaged, she probably will not be able to walk if she does wake up…" he paused and Jay interrupted, "And the chances of that are…" the doctor fidgeted with his watch a little looked at his chart and sighed, "Not very good…slim to none" Bradin watched from the side, feeling the life slip away from the only girl he loved, he knew that this was it.
When they got back, Bradin didn't need to ask, just ran over and caught the doctor's sleeve. "I need to go see her now…" the doctor didn't argue, it wouldn't help and right now, it didn't matter, he needed to see her alive and breathing before it was too late.
(BRADIN'S P.O.V)
I went into her room, and I almost lost my balance at what I saw lying on the bed. It wasn't Callie, Callie is beautiful, with long hair, fair skin, and this wasn't her. This girl had hair pulled back into a messy bun. Her face was scarred up, and she lay there, motionless, waiting for the life support to give up, waiting for her life to end, I wouldn't let this happen. I walked over to her and held her hand. It was stuck with so many needles, tubes and different kinds of scratches and bandages.
I sat down beside her, the tears started to come again. "Callie…I am so sorry, I can't believe I hadn't said it before but I love you, I love you so much, you're amazing, smart, beautiful, and I really wan….no need you to wake up Callie, please don't leave me alone, I already lost someone I love I can't lose you too Callie please…" I felt her hand twitch and then the monitors started going crazy, a beeping came then what seemed like the entire faculty came running in with different instruments trying to help Callie, but I knew this was it, she heard the words and now she gave up, Callie was dead, I knew it.
I ran out the door and ran into Jay, noticing he had been listening. "Hey I'm sorry, Bradin, but…there's nothing we can do" I nodded "I need to just be alone right now…" I went over to the most deserted place in the room and sat down on a chair, leaning my head on a fish tank and listening to the water pouring through the filter. My life is different forever, I'm a murdered, I killed the only girl I have ever loved and she didn't know it. I regret ever having been born, Callie would still be alive.
