Intro:

YOUR POV

The thought of death always seemed so far-fetched to me. That was until the day when the only sound I heard was the heart monitor system going beep beep beep beep. Heartbeat monitors always made me laugh. I mean why did it have to produce such a serious sound. Why can't patients have an option of hearing a cute twinkle. Then again, there's bigger problems than the sound of a heart monitor. In fact, there are five big problems that I discovered during my visit to the hospital.
Problem #1. I am a complete idiot. There is no doubt about it. I don't know a good guy when I see it, and unfortunately, this is very evident in the relationships I have been involved with. Aka Austin.
Problem #2. When Austin hit me on that hot summer night, he hit me quite hard. Hard enough to damage some of my memory. My short term memory is awful and I can't remember something unless I write it down and set a reminder on my phone to look at what I wrote down, then set another reminder reminding me of where I put my paper that I wrote my stuff down on. 
Problem #3. Death is so close to us. You could literally be so happy and inlove one moment, and then get hit and instantly killed by a car the next. Crazy right? Well life is one crazy thing.
Problem #4. This is the most obvious problem yet. On my search to "true happiness" I mistakengly ran into what I'd like to refer to as the devil. This devil prevented me from being myself and living the life I could potentially live. This devil ruined me, physically and emotionally. This devil, it could not be controlled, because the devil came in the form of my thoughts. Everything I did, I would overthink and ruin. It is so clear why I didn't find happiness. Because I overthought happiness. Happiness is a factor of life, and by overthinking that, you are overthinking life, which eventually leads to self destructive thoughts, and if it is not self-destructive, then you will be destroyed by somebody else. In my case, I was not self-destructive but was destroyed by somebody else.
Problem #5. It is a fact that I do have a bad memory, but every thing that happened before the accident, I perfectly remember. That is why I wasn't in shock when I looked to the left side of my hospital bed, and saw Taylors face. Peacefully resting. I then realized that it wasn't my heart monitor beeping, it was his. 

Actual Story:

YOUR POV

I was trying to retrace my exact steps from July 3rd. The only time I remember Taylor during the accident was when I looked to the right and saw him running towards me. I wanted to ask somebody what happened but I didn't know who I should ask. I never really liked Nash but I certainly know that he saw the entire thing, my mom wasn't there at all so she doesn't even know what happened. I mean I could ask Lindsay but I'd rather not. Maybe Shawn saw. Shawn has always been a good friend to me and I met him once or twice as kids when I went to go visit my cousin that lives in his neighbourhood. When Taylor introduced me to him it was a big shock because I haven't seen him in years.
 I sat up on the hospital bed and carefully untangled all the tubes of medication and oxygen that were jabbed in my veins and nose. I stared at Taylor. I listened to the heart monitor, beep beep beep beep. I observed every cut on his face. What the hell went down after I went unconscious? Taylor was clearly in the state of a coma. I moved a chair towards his bed and sat on it. I stroked his eyebrow and felt all the cuts on his face.
"You're the most important person to me in this whole world Taylor. Did you know that?" I picked up his hand and kissed it. "I know that you'll be okay Taylor. You've always been a fighter. You never let anybody down. Especially me." I lay my head on the bed and clutched his land. I listened to the depressing sound of the heart monitor, beep beep beep beep. I couldn't control my tears at this point. I started sobbing in his chest just like I did at the Brooklyn Bridge, except this time, I didn't have his words to comfort me. "Taylor do you remember when we were little kids and we walked to the convenient store hand in hand? I know you remember that because that was the day I was so mad my little pet fish passed away. I don't remember that day because of a fish, but I remembered it because despite everybody telling me to get over it and saying, 'oh who cares it just a fish,' you were the only friend that actually tried to make me feel better and you promised to buy me candy so I could get my mind off of it." I stared at him. Hoping for him to flutter his eyes and wake up. But nothing happened. Beep beep beep beep. "Taylor please don't leave me like this. I'm sorry I didn't acknowledge your sweetness before. Please Taylor just wake up, I'll do anything." beep beep beep beep
