Camryn's POV

He's trying to leave. He's trying to ride off and I can't let him. I don't know what to do. I keep trying to pull his keys out but he's keeping my still. Tears are streaming down my face like a faucet.

"Jesus Camryn can't you see that I need to get the fuck away from all of you? What don't you fucking understand? Leave me alone!" He screams. I freeze and look into his cold, mean eyes. He hasn't looked at me this way since he found out I googled him and found out about his fight with Penn.

He was seriously pissed then and he's seriously pissed now. I can't believe he wants to get away from me as bad as he does his parents.

I stay completely frozen as he backs out of the driveway. He looks at me before he rides off. His eyes go soft and it makes me want to run after him and try again, but I stay still. I love you is all I can think as he rides off.

As he turns down the street and I can no longer hear the sound of his motorcycle, the screams behind me become more obvious.

I turn to Walt and Madeleine and they don't even notice that their son is gone. I debate on whether or not I should spit at them. I decide against it and walk into my house without giving them a second glance.

I close the front door behind me and slouch all the way up the stairs. I'm worried about him. No one should be riding a motorcycle in his state of mind. He's upset, he's frantic and he's scared. Why didn't he just come inside with me? Why did he want to get away from me too?

More questions flood my head as I pull off my work clothes and get into my clothes for bed. I throw on a pair of leggings and a sweatshirt and crawl into bed.

I haven't seen that mean look in Colton's eyes in a long time. That look of disgust, of hate. I didn't think he was capable of looking at me that way anymore, I thought we were past that. Apparently not.

I curl up into a ball, hugging my pillow. I don't want to cry. I've done enough of that already. I just want sleep to take me away from this reality for a few hours, and within seconds, it does.

Colton's POV

My face is freezing as I make my way to the highway. I should've put my helmet on but I didn't have time with Camryn trying to get me to stay. The look on her face as I left keeps popping into my head.

I didn't want to hurt her but it was the only way. That's always the case isn't? I have to hurt her in order to get what I want. Why am I so damn selfish? Why didn't I just go inside with her? Why didn't I bring her with me? But where, I don't even know here I'm going.

Madeleine's house is a no because she's too busy falling back into her old ways. I wonder how long it'll take before Walt gets comfortable enough to raise a hand at her again.

I should go tell her husband what she's doing but that's not my business because she's not my business, not anymore.

Why did this have to happen to me, what did I do to deserve this? I was a good kid, they just fucked me up.

I'm trying, I trying so hard to get my shit together and it seems like they're making it impossible. I just don't know what to do.

I just can't do this anymore. My vision gets blurry and I can feel my warm tears falling down my now frozen face. I just can't.

Camryn's POV

"Camryn! Camryn wake up!"

I'm jolted awake by someone screaming and shaking me. My eyes shoot open and try to adjust to the light coming in from the hallway.

I look up at the person waking me up and see that it's my mom. "Camryn!" She says frantically.

"Mom what's going on?" I look at my phone to check the time. "Mom it's 2 o'clock what happened?" I ask with a yawn.

"It's Colton," she says frantically. My heart stops at the sound of his name.

"What about him, mom what happened?" I stand up from my bed and wait for her answer.

"He, he.." she stutters.

"Mom tell me what happened!" I practically scream at her. I'm freaking out and I start searching for my shoes.

"He was in an accident," she finally spits out. I look up at her and she's crying.

"Where is he?" I ask.

"Camryn I don't think you..."

"Mom tell me where he is!"

"He's at St. Elizabeth's Hospital," she whispers.

Without another word I run down the stairs to find my keys.

"Camryn I'm coming with you wait," my mom calls out. I don't slow down, if she wants to come with she'll need to run. "Camryn you're in no shape to be driving, give me your keys" she says when I get to the front door.

"Mom I have to leave, let me go!" I tell her as she reaches for my keys. I'm struggling to get away from her but she's stopping me. I just need to get to Colton.

"Camryn let me drive!" She screams. I give up and give her my keys and we both rush to the car.

I see that Walt's car is still in the driveway, but Madeleine's car is no where to be seen.

My mom surprisingly drives at a fast enough speed to where I don't need to tell her to hurry. The streets are empty but I keep my eyes out for any signs of a crash.

My heart is racing and I think I might pass out, but I can't until I know that Colton is okay. Please be okay.

Colton's POV

I open my eyes to an extremely bright light. I can feel my body being jolted around and it hurts like hell.

"He's coming to," I hear a voice next to me say. Someone's head blocks the bright light but I still can't focus on the face. "Hey Colton , do you know where you're at?" The voice asks.

I try to say no, but it comes out as a groan. It hurts to try and speak. "You're in an ambulance, you were in an accident and we're rushing you to the nearest hospital," he says.

An accident? When the hell did that happen? I must be dreaming but this pain seems all to real. It hurts, everywhere, everything hurts.

"We're losing him again," is the last thing I hear before everything goes black.

The next time I wake up, its to another bright light. This is it. This is the infamous light everyone wants to steer away from.

"Colton?" A voice says. It's not the same voice from earlier, it's a girl voice. I blink a few times to adjust my eyes. The bright light dies down and I can see that I'm in a hospital room.

I look around trying to find the voice and find it to the right of me. It belongs to a blonde girl in blue scrubs.

"Do you know where you are?" She asks.

"A.. a hospital?" She nods.

"You were in a very bad accident Colton, it caused some serious head injuries and I'm here to prep you for surgery." She speaks so calmly and it's scaring me.

"Surgery?" I ask. I let out a groan. It's starting to hurt again, everything. With that a man in a white coat walks in.

"Colton, I'm sure you have a lot of questions. You didn't have any head gear when your motorcycle accident occurred and that caused serious damage. Your brain is overflowing with fluid and in order to stop it we need to get you into surgery as soon as possible. Is there anyone you'd like us to contact to be here while you're in surgery?"

He's speaking so quickly but all I got was surgery and contact.

"Yes," I say, " my girlfriend Camryn." The nurse writes down her information and leaves the room.

More nurses come in and start pushing my bed to the operating room. They have me laying in the hallway and I spot the nurse who took down Camryn's number.

"Hey," I call out to her. She sees me and makes her way over.

"I'm sorry sir, she didn't pick up." Dammit Camryn.

"Call her mother," I say and she continues to write down her number. Before she leaves I ask, "Can I have your notepad and pen?" She hands it to me without hesitation and I'm grateful.

I'm about to start writing her dads number down just in case her mom doesn't answer when my bed begins to move again. I look at the nurses pushing my bed. "Wait, I'm not ready yet, Camryn's not here, stop!"

They don't stop, they just try to calm me down. I can't go into surgery without Camryn, she needs to know I'm okay.

I look at the piece of paper I wrote Cam's dad's number on and get an idea. I just really wish the nurse is able to get ahold of Camryn, I need her here.
