"Phil, could you please tell the officer what happened?"
Phil looked away. He didn't want to here his mom plead or the officer investigate. All he wanted was to take back that one moment. That was the only way to bring her back. They wouldn't let him see her. They said he was too young, he wasn't immediate family. What they said meant nothing to Phil. All he wanted was that one chance back. To make a different decision. Not to make her jealous, but to confront her. Then this whole mess wouldn't be happening, but it was too late.
The driver was sitting on the other side of the office. Barbara was right outside talking to the officer. All was silent.
"I'm sorry," called a lost and dizzied voice.
Phil refused to look at him. "Why?" Why did you have to do something so stupid?" he said, gritting his teeth. "I loved her."
The world was still spinning to Phil as the officer came back in and handcuffed Barry. "You are under arrest for drunk driving and manslaughter," the officer seemed to say. But, Phil heard none of it. The pain was just too deep. He didn't understand why.
"Phil," his mother said interrupting his thoughts, "let's go.
LATER AT THE HOSPITAL
PHIL'S POV:
It took me forever to convince them I needed to see her. They finally listened. When I got in there, I saw her. She was still bloody and she was hooked up to all of these machines. She was unconscious….basically the only thing keeping her alive were those wires. I just wanted her to be free. Despite her condition, I still thought she was the most beautiful, kind, thoughtful, gracious person I'd ever had such luck to know, and it was all my fault that she was lying there, awaiting her fate. I refuse to leave her side now and forever.
A/n: more l8er…..i thought this was a good place to leave off…..bagels for reviews and remember
DON'T DRIVE DRUNK!
