Bella’s POV
Blood. There was so much of blood. I couldn’t stop the tears. I just cried and cried. I shouted and yelled for someone to help me.
I took out the phone and quickly dialled the ambulance. “H-Hello please h-help me.” I hiccup into the phone. “Madam calm down and tell me what happen and where and who is injured.” she said trying calm me.
“A car just hit and run. It happen in front of the King consolidated. I-Its, Xavier King.” I said crying hard. All she said was that help was on its way, and put down the phone.
I took out my coat as I placed it in Xavier’s head, trying to stop the bleed. “Xavier please open your eyes.” I begged him but he lay unconscious. I couldn’t help the tears that left my eyes.
When he yelled my name I turn back to see him getting hit by a car. I quickly ran over to see him lying in his own blood unconscious. I shouted for help but no one seems to be there.
Soon the ambulance came and got him in it. I stayed by him all the while. I kept crying. I couldn’t stop. Seeing him like, its all because of me.
If I didn’t run and just listen to him and stop, he wouldn’t have been in this position. I had blood all over my hands. His blood. This is on me. I can’t help but blame myself.
As soon as we reached the hospital, the doctors took him in a stretcher to the ICU. I tried to go in but they wont allow me in. I fall to the floor and balled my eyes out.
I kept crying and realised I should call his family. I took out my phone and called Sophia. The moment I heard her voice I broke down.
“Dear calm down. What happen?” she asked worried. “No. I-Its. X-Xavier. He g-got into a-an accident.” I said sobbing. I heard her gasp She asked for the hospital and said she is coming as quick she can.
I put down, waiting for her. I continued to cry and cry. God please left him be ok. I prayed.
After 20 minutes, Sophia, Mr King and another girl came rushing in. I went to Sophia and hugged her as tried to console me.
The three went to the ICU door and took a peek in. The moment they saw him, they all gasped. Sophia started to cry as Mr King tried to console while, the other girl was trying to stop the tears from flowing.
This is all because of me. I started to cry again. Mr King came to me. “Dear what happened?” he asked worried. I explained to him everything and started to cry again.
“This is all on me. I am so sorry.” I kept apologising. “Its not your fault, No one could have expected this to happen.” Sophia trying calm me. I just nodded my head not convinced.
We waited outside the ICU for hours waiting for the doctor. While waiting outside, I came to know that the girl was Xavier’s sister, Emma, and she is a year older than me. She seemed nice. Every time I said is my fault, she assured me its not.
Soon the doctor came out and we rushed to him. “Doctor how is he? He’s ok right?” we bombard him with question.
“He’s fine. He just fractured his left leg and right hand. Other than that he is totally fine. He’ll be back to normal in a week or two.” he said making us sigh in relieve.
“It was good thing that you tried to stop the blood from losing. If not he might be in a worst condition.” he said pointing to me.
The three of them turn to smile at in gratitude. I just nodded my head. “Can we go and see him?” Sophia asked him.
“We are transferring him to normal ward. You can see him later.” he said as we nodded our head. We sat down happy to know he is fine.
We waited for him to be transferred to the normal ward. Once he was transferred, the nurse suggested we can go in.
The three of them rushed in while I took slow steps. I was afraid. I know deep down that this is my fault. I sighed as I went in.
The three of them crowded around while I just stood in a corner. I was ashamed. He have yet wake up yet. I wished he would just quickly wake up.
I head a groan and saw him slowly opening his eyes. The moment he open his eyes, “Oh my boy! Thank god you are ok.” his mum said as she hugged him. He dad came to him, “How are you feeling son?”
He asked worried. “Xavier, you gave us an heart attack, you idiot.” Emma scolded him as they laughed at her. I just stood there not knowing what to do or say.
“Wait where’s Bella?” Sophia asked looking around. The four of them turned their head to me. “Oh dear, why are you standing there? Come here.” she said gesturing to me.
I slowly walked to them. I couldn’t look up at his eyes, without starting water works. I stood there silently. Sensing this Mr King spoke up.
“Why the three of us get something to drink.” he said as they nod they head and went out. I stood there for a few seconds, before starting to cry.
“I’m so sorry. I am really so sorry.” I kept saying when I felt him take hold of my hands and pull him towards him. He hugged and tried to console me.
After I calm down a bit, he took hold of my chin. “It is not your fault, and let me repeat, It. is. not. your. fault.” he said emphasising each word.
I sobbed as he hugged me closer to him. We stayed like that knowing we both needed that. Suddenly the door open and I ripped myself away from his arms.
“Nice timing guys.” He said as he rolled his eyes at his family. They just laughed. I blushed at his words. The moment they came in, the nurse came in to.
“Everything seem fine. He has to be in the hospital for observation. Also someone has to stay with him while he is here.” the doctor said. The next words that came out was not under my control.
“I’ll stay.” I said. Everyone looked at me shocked. Even I was shocked. The nurse nodded her head and left. I came out of my shock.
“I am responsible for all of this. I must be the one who should be here.” I said as I sighed. “Dear its not your fault. But if you want to stay, you can.” Sophia said I nod my head.
Mr King came as he took hold of my hand. “Thank you so much for doing this dear.” he said sincerely as he smiled softly. I return the smile.
The four of them talked for sometime and left. I realised he was getting tired and helped him to lie down. “Here let me help.” I said. I helped him lie down.
I helped him with the blanket. He took hold of my arms, hugged it as he fell asleep. I smiled at this. He seemed so cute when he is asleep. I waited for sometime before retreating my hand.
I took a chair and sat there staring at him before falling asleep.
