Somebody Who Deserves You Most
By The Sulfur And The Sea
Shit, shit, shit ,shit! 'Emily!!!' I ran through the building looking for her, she'd only been gone 10 minutes but damn, that girl moves fast. I finally found her, pale faced, with Vic. 'We've got to go to the hospital'
'What? Why, is everything alright?' Emily stood up, looking close to fainting which didnt surprise me, she doesnt look like she's eaten all week.
'Rebecca's been in a crash, it's really bad, hurry up!' I bolted out of the doorway, being followed by a very panicked Emily and a stunned Vic. There was no time to get Mike and Jaime, so I text them telling them to meet us at the hospital and all would be explained they got there.
We got to the hospital but to be honest, I can't remember driving there, everything that had happened in the past hour was a haze. One of my bestfriends was in hospital, dying... I can't even imagine what must be going through Emilys head right now.
I ran to the front desk, asking for any information on Rebecca but all they told us to do was sit and wait. We must have looked a right state, me and Vic in our suits and Emily in her wedding dress, it's no wonder we keep getting strange looks. Vic was pacing back and forth while Emily sat in the chair next to me, her face and body showing no emotions, looking completely robotic. We must have been waiting two hours before someone came to us. 'Hello, Im Doctor Peters and I was the main surgeon trying to save Rebecca. We tried all we could but the damage is too extreme. We've put her into a medically induce coma and she is currently on life support and it's the only thing keeping her alive. You have the choice to keep her on life support or to turn it off; We recommend you turn the machine off as she wont get better but the choice is your. You can go and see her when you're ready.' Doctor Peters left us all in shock, Emily was the first to move, hurrying down the hall to the room that Rebecca was in.
She was hocked up to multiple machines, wires coming from all directions. Her once beautifully pale face was now covered in purple, yellow and blue bruises and cuts, she looked close to death. Me and Vic stood in the doorway while Emily sat next to her body, whispering into her ear with a tight grip on her hand, tears streaming aimlessly down her face. It broke my heart to see her crying, heart broken but it was even worse seeing Rebecca the way she was. I'd always been close to Rebecca, ever since we first met we'd gotten along. I have so many great memories with her and I know we have so many more to come but now... Im watching her die. Jaime and Mike startled me as they joined us, I turned to tell them what was happening when Emily stood up, telling us we should go and talk to her while she went to get some air.
I'd never seen Jaime cry before and seeing him cry wasnt nice. Mike was crying too, and Vic. We all love Rebecca like a sister and to lose her would be to great of a lose. Jaime spoke to her first, holding her hand as he spoke. He told her how much he loved her, even if he did break up with her in high school, he'd never really stopped loving her. He was happy with Jessica but a little bit of his heart always belonged to her as she was his first love. He kissed her forehead before coming to stand by me, I wrapped him in a hug, I cant stand seeing my bestfriends like this. Mike and Vic both pretty much told her the same thing, that they love her and always will, that shes like their little sister and would always remember her and love her, no matter what happens. Then it was my turn.
I couldnt think of a reply, I just hugged her, I hugged her like the first time I met her and I never wanted to let go. The guys joined us in our hug as the nurse rushed in and started to disconnect all the wires from Rebeccas frail, cold frame. They asked us all leave while they did what was necessary. We all left that room feeling the same way. Numb. I had no feeling, I couldnt feel my feet hitting the floor under me or the air entering my lungs. I'd just watched one of my best friends die. I could only imagine how Emily felt right now, leaving the hospital she'd just watched her fiance die at in the wedding dress she should have been marrying her fiance in. We left the hospital in silence and made our way back to the church, to tell everyone the news and to book a funeral.
-*5 Months Later*-
I waled down to where Emily was sat in the sand, picking up thousands of tiny grains at a time and letting them slip through the gaps in her fingers. 'Hey' I sat down next to her.
'Hi' She replied, her eyes never leaving the sand in her hands,
'How're you feeling?' I asked, not sure on how she was feeling. She'd not really spoken to us since Rebeccas funeral, she'd moved into my house after me and the guys had cleaned it up, we didnt want her staying on her own, knowing how her self destruction could be.
'You really want to know how I feel?' I nodded 'I feel empty, like theres no heart beating inside my chest, no blood flowing through my veins, no air entering my lung. I've watched my best friend die on the day I was going to marry her. Everyone thinks Im doing so well, that Im all raindows and sunshine but Im not Tony, Im broken. I cant think, I cant eat, I cant sleep. I lose everyone I love. My dad, my sister and now Rebecca, Im afraid to love someone because their always leave, just like you did,' She was starting to anger me now, raising her voice and mentioning things we'd sorted out months ago. ' I'm not feeling anything at all really Tony, I love Rebecca and she's gone'
'You cant have loved her that much, not when you where kissing me a few days before your wedding!' I clapped my hands over my mouth, realizing Id spoken without thinking. The look on Emilys face said it all. She threw the sand that was in her hands in my face and stormed off towards the house, I dont really blame her, Im such a dick.
