Chapter 38 - The crash

~Aiden's pov~

We stopped the car a little behind David's and got out only to see Adina with a cute glare on her face while looking at me and confusion in her eyes.

She stood there for a while then started making her way towards me. Even admist all the chaos that had surrounded us right now a smile came on my lips. 'I am never letting her go again. She's my world. my love. my life and I'll have her beside me for now and ever. Doesn't matter what I have to do to make sure of that or to get her forgiveness, I'll get it and make our lives happy. her life happy. She's mine and always will be. Damn! Just how much I love her' my thughts were a mess, full of her. But then all my dreams about our future crashed in front of my eyes and so did my heart.

My life was laying in front of me in a pool of her own blood. My heart broke into tiny pieces. My world stopped. Everything seemed a blur. Just how fast things were ruining, my life was ruining. She had only taken a few steps towards me when she got hit by a car and that said car then crashed into the nearby pole. I stood there with a blank face trying to process what just happened but no, nothing was making sense or mayble I was not ready to accept what I just witnessed.

I was looking at Adina when she gave me a pained smile and moved her fingers slowly in a motion to beckon me to go towards her. I got by her side in the blink of an eye and put her head on my lap caressing her blood stained locks. She smiled weakely at me and I said, lightly tapping her cheeks with my bloody hands,"Hey hey!! Look at me. Keep your eyes open, okay? We are going to the hospital right now. You'll be okay, alright? Just stay with me love... please", my voice cracked at the end. Panick started rising in me.

I lifted her up in my hands bridal style and she groaned in pain. I hurt her. "S-Sorry. I'm sorry. I'll be more careful." She smiled and shook her head at me. Ian cleared the way through the crowd that had gathered around us and opened the back door while I hurriedly but carefully sat with Adina in my arms. Ian started the car and drove towards the hospital.

I constantly tapped her cheeks and talked to her. "H-hey! Listen here Adina. Stay with me, okay? I know I fucked up but please don't leave me. I-I can't live without you love. You are my everything mon chérie(my sweetheart). I-I'll make everything good, okay? Just don't close your eyes. We are going to the hospital, you'll get treated and then we'll go home. We'll start over. I'll change, I promise. I'll change for you. I'll not get jealous or angry. I promise. I only need you by my side. I've already made plans for our future so don't you dare bail on me now, o-okay? Stay. Stay with me. Please. I'm sorry. So sorry. It's all my fault." The anguish was crystal clear in my voice. The desparation to keep her with me too and it was the first time Ian had seen me like this. So broken.

I felt her gripping my hand and I tightly squeezed it back in reassurance, giving her a smile which she returned but the next second groaned in pain. I shouted at Ian,"DRIVE FASTER DAMMIT!! FASTER!" He was already driving at full speed but I was not in my right mind. Ian glanced at us through the rear-view mirror and our eyes met. We both had glossy eyes trying not to break down. He then again concentrated back on the road.

Adina whispered my name in a small voice but I heard it nonetheless. I kept my ear near her lips so as not to miss what she was trying to say. She said in a quivering whisper,"I-I choo-se y-ou. Always." Then I felt a peck on my cheeks so I pulled back and looked at her. She smiled her sweetest smile at me as a tear left her eyes. At that time I felt her grip loosening on my hand. I said tapping her cheeks yet again,"A-dina? Hey? Hey? ADINA!?" I didn't get a reply. Her eyes staring at me but there was nothing. No emotion at all. Nothing.

I felt my chest squeeze, suffocating me. I again said, hoping to get any response," ADINA? ADINA? HEY! HEY COME ON. FIGHT WITH ME. PLEASE. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE ME. I WON'T LET YOU LEAVE ME. HEY! COME ON LOVE. P-please... say something.... stay... with ... me." An excruciating scream left my lips. By the time I realised I was crying Ian had stopped the car and was blankly staring at the steering wheel. I heard him sob once and take a deep breath. He turned the car around, driving back home.

With the tears still streaming down my face I yelled at him,"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? TURN THE CAR AROUND IAN. WE HAVE TO REACH THE HOSPITAL. WE HAVE TO SAVE HER. STOP THE CAR AND TURN IT AROUND. CAN'T YOU HEAR ME? I SAID TURN AROUND THE FUCKING CAR DAMMIT."

He stopped the car with a screech and turned around to face me. I saw tears pooling his eyes. This was the first time I had cried which might've made his more downcast. His gaze was soft but sad trying to tell me that I'm not alone. He said,"It's no use Aiden. We l-lost her." I stared at him then at Adina's face which was lying on my lap. 'I lost her. I lost her. I lost her' my mind played the same thought again and again. Ian closed Adina's eyes and I turned my gaze back at him. He was controlling his tears as he said in a broken voice,"We should... let her r-est now." He turned around immediately and started the car.

Tears still streaming down my face I looked at her still figure. This was all my mistake. All of it. I held her hand but got no response in return but as I pulled my hand back something tugged at my shirt's cuff. I looked down to see the bracelet I gave her tucked in my shirt's button. I let out a few more sobs before hugging her to my chest. I took off the bracelet and kept it in my pocket.

The whole ride was filled with my cries and pleadings. I wanted her to not leave me. I needed her more than anything. As the mansion came into view my anger took the place of the grief. I was furious and could only see blood.
