Heartsbeats
Chapter 3 The Stunt
Gunthers POV
When Kick was done with his list, he told me to meet him at the park and left the same way he came. Once he was gone, I breathed a sigh of relief, went to my dresser for some clean underwear and ran to the bathroom to take a shower. My boxers were sticky and a little crusty, as I was taking a shower, all I could think of was Kick and I sighed, thinking how it wasn't fair that I was in love with my bestfriend who clearly didn't like me like that. I hit the wall of my bathroom in frustration, why me? Why did I have to be in love with Kick of all people? How will I ever get over him? Then the big question, if I told him how I felt, would that be the end of our friendship? I couldn't bear the thought of not having Kick in my life, I don't really remember what life was like before him in all honesty but ever since we became friends, my life has been filled with fun and color.
I got out the shower and got dressed, went down stairs and left to meet Kick at the park. 10 minutes later, I was at the park and there was the love of my life standing in front of the rocket cart, he looked up and smiled that same smile that brightens up my day whenever I feel down he asked me to help him push the cart up to Widowmakers Peak, if you asked me to jump off a cliff I would've done it just to make you smile Kick…roughly 20 minutes later, we were at Widomakers Peak and he got in the cart. He handed me the camera and told me to film it, I turned it on and it started to record, I counted down from 10 and once I hit 1, Kick hit the gas and took off. Through the camera, I could see Kick smiling and enjoying the ride, he was at the end and I was happy until he crashed into the tree down below.
My heart dropped and my stomach twisted into knots, I turned off the camera and ran to him, when I got there, I saw that he was bleeding from underneath his helmet. I was called his name and yelling don't walk into the light, I told him how he couldn't leave me here alone, my eyesight was blurring from the tears that almost fell, but he opened his eyes and smiled, telling me he was fine, just dizzy so I called an ambulance. I don't know how long it took for them to get there but I held Kick in my arms, he was still awake but he looked tired, I was trying not to cry but couldn't help but let a few tears fall. The paramedics were there and we were suddenly at the hospital, the paramedics taking him to the emergency room. I waited, and waited wondering if Kick would be okay, I couldn't keep still, I was pacing back and forth, biting my lower lip when Kicks family were suddenly there, asking me what happened I still had the camera and told them to watch. After watching the video, Kicks dad looked worried, Kicks mom was crying, Brianna looked like she was trying not to cry and Brad, like me was pacing back and forth, time went by slow as molasses. Finally, the doctor came out and told us Kick was fine but he had a concussion but otherwise he was fine and we could visit. We all went to his room when we got to the doorway he gave us thumbs up, his mom, dad and Brianna hugged him while Brad gave him a noogie looking relieved, they all left after 30 minutes and told him they'll pick him up tomorrow morning. All alone, it was just me and him; he looked me in the eyes and I melted, I turned to leave as well. "Gunther wait."
