He forgot about me? How's that possible? I thought.
"Krystal do you want to go home now?" my Mom said.
"Can't I stay with Adrian? Please Mom, Dad, I want to stay." I said.
"Sweetie, we can't stay at the hospital forever. We'll give you five minutes." My Dad said.
They left the room and I couldn't help but cry. I was holding Adrian's hand. I squeezed his hand hard. Adrian still didn't wake up. The first time he woke up he said he didn't remember me. I wanted to stay with him. I wasn't going to forget the great times we had together.
"Sweetie we have to go now." Dad said. "You should get some rest."
"But..." I started.
"Come on, let's go home."
We got into the car. I started to cry. I just couldn't help it.
Flashback
I was in the car with Adrian and a couple of other teenagers. Adrian and I were in the back seat talking. We were also kissing each other constantly. Unfortunately the driver and passenger were kind of drunk and were on the phone. Once in a while we were swerving almost off the road. There was one good thing, we got stopped by the Police before we could crash anywhere. We all got breath tests and well Adrian and I were let go, but as for the others they were took home by the Police. So Adrian and I were alone. He took me home right away. My Parents were mad that I wasn't home before 10:00. Adrian left and I called him to see if we were still together.
"Yeah, don't worry Krystal." Adrian said. "You know I should get off the phone."
"Yeah, I'm sorry." I said. "I love you."
"I know. I love you too. I love you Krystal. Oh my god!" I all of the sudden heard a gun go off then a crash. I got so scared, I called 911 right away. By the time they found Adrian's car he was unconscious. Adrian took a blow to his head which made him forget about me. He forgot about his girlfriend.
Chapter 2 October 9th 2012
I was supposed to go to school the next day, but do you think I wanted to? Especially after what happened to my boyfriend? No way was I going to school.
"Krystal, are you feeling okay?" Mom asked walking into my room.
"Can I stay home?" I mumbled.
"Sure, but honey you can't skip the whole week."
"I know. I just don't think I can handle school today." I almost started to cry.
"You can rest today, but tomorrow you're going to school."
"Fine, I'll go." I said sadly.
"Maybe I'll let you go only half the day. Maybe I'll pick you up from school."
"Thanks Mom." I laid back in my comfortable bed.
When my Mom left the room my Dad came in and kissed my forehead. "See you later sweetie." He said.
My Dad works at an Electronics store. So he's gone five days a week fourteen hours a day. So when I get home from school I can't wait till Dad gets home.
I slept for about two hours more, then I got up and made pancakes for me and Mom. When I finished I went on my email. I emailed my friend Melody. I always email Melody when I'm sad. There's something about her that makes everyone laugh. I knew Melody probably was in school but there was nothing else to do.
I lay back down on my bed; staring up at the ceiling I noticed a small door. I never really looked at the ceiling to notice the small door.
I got up and grabbed the small handle. It swung open when I pulled on it. I looked up into the small room above. It was almost empty except for a small wooden desk and chair.
I walked slowly over to the desk and sat down. The desk had drawers and shelves with doors on them. I pulled on one of the drawers, but it was locked. I tried opening the shelve doors, but they were locked too.
I sat there a while, just looking around the room. Finally I got up and went back into my room through the small door in the ceiling/floor. I closed the door and lay on my bed wondering how long the door in the ceiling was there.
After a while, I fell asleep. My Mom came in and sat on the bed, then she decide to leave. I rolled around a lot while I was sleeping. I woke up and walked into the kitchen to get something to eat. I saw a note on the counter. It was from Mom saying she went to town and if I needed anything I could call her.
Flashback
I was eating by myself in the cafeteria and I was almost done. I was going to get up to leave when I saw the boy of my dreams, Adrian. I stayed in my chair and smiled. He gave me a note and smiled. Then he walked away. The note read:
Krystal,
You're an amazing girl.
I like you a lot. Every time I look at you I smile.
I would love to out with you. Will you go out with me?
Love, Adrian
I almost laughed, but decided not to; instead I smiled. I looked up to see if Adrian was still around but he wasn't. I got up and threw away my tray and walked out of the cafeteria. I looked around the halls and I didn't see him anywhere. I was about to walk towards the library, when I felt someone tapping me. I turned around to see Adrian.
"Hey Adrian, I was wondering where you went." I said smiling.
"Well here I am." Adrian was smiling too.
"Adrian, you asked me out and I'd love to go out with you!" I about jumped at him, being so happy.
"Really, that's great." Adrian paused. "Should we start in the cafeteria?"
I nodded and we walked into the cafeteria. We sat at an empty table and started talking.
------------------
I finished eating and got my shoes on. I grabbed the keys to my car and headed out the door. I hopped in my car and drove towards the hospital.
------------------
Adrian was still in the hospital bed. He was sleeping while the nurse came in to check up on him.
"Krystal?" Adrian asked waking up.
"Krystal isn't here right now. Do you remember her?" The nurse said.
"No, I don't. Where are my parents?"
"Do you want me to bring your Mom in?"
Adrian nodded, but a little confused. What about his Dad being here. The nurse left and came back a few minutes later with his Mom.
"Hey Adrian, how you feeling?" his Mom asked. Her voice was so soft and calm.
"My head is a little dizzy, that's all. But I'm glad you're here." Adrian said.
"Honey I didn't want to ask this, but what exactly happened?"
"All I remember is that I was on the phone, driving and I heard a gun go off." Adrian paused, touching his head. "I think I crashed after that. The rest is blank."
"Who was on the phone?"
"I don't know. I don't remember."
"I'll let you rest." His Mom said getting up from her chair. Then she walked out of the room. Once she stepped out she started crying. Usually Kacey wasn't very emotional, but when it came to her family, that was a different story.
------------------
I arrived at the hospital in about five to ten minutes. When I entered I didn't see very many people waiting. I went up to the front desk right away.
"Excuse me, can I visit one of the patients?" I asked the woman behind the counter.
"Yes, may I ask who do you want to see?" the Woman said.
"I would like to see Adrian Dards." I smiled.
"Let's see, I don't know if you can today. He's only allowed one visitor."
"Well can I just see if he's awake?"
"I guess, how about I give you two to three minutes."
"Thanks so much." I got in the elevator and hit number two. Once the door opened I ran out. I almost knocked off some of the syringes on a cart. I tried to be quick finding the room. Many of the rooms had signs on the doors saying not allowed any visitors. Some of the doors were wide open; so you actually can see many of the patients.
Finally I found room 243, the room Adrian was in. I walked right in and saw Adrian reading a magazine. While I walked over to sit in the chair by his bed, he looked up.
"Hi Adrian. How are you feeling?" I said.
"I'm fine. How about you?" Adrian responded.
"I'm not doing so well, to be honest." I looked down at the floor.
"Why is that?" Adrian was really looking at me now, being interested.
"I feel guilty." I paused. "I called you while you were driving. Then I heard the gun and you crashed."
Adrian looked at me shocked. We both were silent for the longest time. We kept staring at each other.
"What's your name again?" Adrian asked not showing any emotion.
"Krystal Monique." I said still staring. Adrian stared at me, like he was going to faint.
"Are you okay?" I asked getting up out of my chair.
"I...never mind." Adrian said looking away. "Can you please leave."
"Yeah I'll let you rest." I grabbed his hand by accident. "I'm sorry. I got to go."
"Thanks, Krystal if you don't mind, not to visit me more than twice a week."
I nodded and left. I don't know why I grabbed his hand. It was a reflex.
To those who try to find the meaning and importance of life.
