The Dark Side - Chris Motionless

Fatal Repeat

*Chris's POV*
What was Austin talking about? It's Samantha? What happened to Samantha?

"Austin, if this is some joke I'm not in the fucking mood." I warned him, tones of anger started to seep into my voice. I tried to keep myself calm because Janice was here and I didn't want her to see my dark side but Austin just pissed me off.

"It's no joke, Samantha got hit by a car on her way to some Halloween party and now she's at the hospital..." Woah. I sank onto my knees on the marbled bathroom tiles. Samantha was hit by a car on her way here... But why was she coming here? oh no, it was probably one of the guys plans to get me to talk to her again and get over her but she didn't even make it here!

I dropped the phone and it scattered aimlessly onto the hard floor leaving it ringing and filled with static.

"What do I do?" The panic and horror built up, bit by bit in my chest until I felt like I was suffocating in smoke.

"Chris, are you okay?" Janice knelt beside me, obviously concerned. How could I tell her that my friend who I also had a semi big crush on was hit by a car and she could be dead for all I know. "Chris, breathe." The panic was written in her voice. In all the fuss of my thoughts I guess I forgot to breathe because eventually I began gasping for air as my throat felt like it was closing up.

"Janice, I have to go." I forced myself onto my feet once I finally began to breathe again, frantically but still able to breathe. "Ricky, where's josh?" I figured josh would be sober enough to walk me back to my house and then drive me to the hospital where Samantha was. I couldn't trust myself to drive, I couldn't trust myself with anything right now.

"He's down stairs." Ricky shrugged and I pushed past him. he followed me down the wooden stairs into the waves of people until I found josh on the side, swaying to the rhythm of some club like song.

"Josh, we're leaving now." I grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the house that was hosting the party.

"Woah there, buddy, where are we going?" He said but didn't argue with me. My heart was slamming against my chest and my ears were ringing with fear as I sped down the sidewalks until we were at my house again.

"Grab your keys, were going to the hospital." I ordered and he did as he was told. Josh, ricky and I hopped in the car and we were on our way to the dreaded hospital, no one but myself knowing what's going on.

*Austin's POV*
-in the hospital-
I tapped my shoe impatiently against the cold floor of the hospital as I waited impatiently for the doctors news. Samantha was unconscious and unresponsive when the ambulance arrived, I hoped that had changed by now. Somewhere deep in my heart I didn't want to call Chris to come but I knew he had to be here whether I liked it or not. We both did.

I paced back and forth through the lobby looking through every window and down every hall for a sign of Samantha being pushed on a gurney. No luck for me. Then, out of the corner of my eye I saw two tall men, one in costume, one not, and one short guy walk thorough the automatic doors. I figured it was Chris and his friends. I did my best to hide all my hate and anger and jealousy from him and focus my attention on Samantha and her well being.

"Austin." Someone came up behind me, a slight growl in his voice. Must be Chris. "What happened ?"

"I told you already, Samantha got hit by some stupid car when she was going to some stupid Halloween party." The frustration boiled in my blood.

"Weren't you with her? You should have seen it coming!" He yelled, obviously just
Confused and scared.

"It was too late, when I saw the car, it already hit her." I sighed, recalling the memory unfortunately. "She's in surgery now, no news from the doctors but she isn't in Good condition."
