"Miss Torres?" The doctor called out to the blinding white hospital waiting room. Eve's head snapped up from the floor, and she immediately rose from her seat and went to greet the doctor. She had been at the hospital all night, waiting for some answers of some sort about her boyfriend, Zack Ryder. He had been in a car accident, and the injuries were major and fatal.
"How is he?" Eve asked shakily, her nerves were definitely shot for the night. Somehow she couldn't shake the feeling that the car accident was somewhat her fault. But it wasn't. It had nothing to do with her, it only had to do with fate's hands. She couldn't stop worrying about him. Surely he'd be okay right?
"Well..." The doctor started. "The accident caused severe brain damage and Zack lost a lot of blood... I'm sorry to tell you this but, we weren't able to save him." The doctor revealed, and Eve's mind just went completely numb. Was she dreaming right now? Because this couldn't be real, it just couldn't.
"So he's...?" Eve whispered, unable to continue her sentence. She didn't want to accept reality, because frankly this was all too much. She couldn't take it as her chest started to heave, and it hurt with a sharp tightening. She felt as if she couldn't breathe as she sank to the tiled floor clutching her chest. Then the tears fell as she had an anxiety attack.
"Miss Torres?" The doctor asked, but Eve was faded to darkness, and all she knew was that Zack was dead, and she didn't even get to say goodbye.
"Zack!" Eve screamed as she writhed around in her bed and finally woke up in cold sweats from her nightmare, well, flashback more so. Her heart was pounding and her breath was labored; she hated reliving that moment. That was the worst moment of her life.
The silence in her home at the moment was so loud, her ears were ringing. The bed that she used to share with Zack felt completely empty and cold, and she felt torn up inside; broken even.
Why did the night terrors still taunt her after all this time?
It was because she knew she missed Zack, and she'd never be able to let him go.
