Part 21
I walked slowly along the road with all these thoughts darting through my mind and i failed to hear the horn coming towards me. I didnt hear the squeaking of the breaks until it was too late. I felt my body come in contact with a vehicle. I felt the pain and it was horrible, i flew through the air and landed on the windscreen of another car and blacked out. All of my thoughts became dark and i heard a scream that faded as i lost consciousness.

Nicoles Point of view
"That bastard, how could he be thinking of such a thing. typical male not taking responsibilityu for anything! Oh can you hold on for a sec Kelly ive got another call coming through"
I put My best friend on hold after complaining for 20 minutes or so and answered the other line hoping it was nothing that would take up my time. I was pissed off and just wanted to get it all off my chest.
"hello?"
"Nicole Marron?"
"Yes, what can i do for you?"
"We've just entered a male, approximatly 37 into intensive care. He was carrying your number but no other identification. Could you come in and identify him for us?"
I was stunned and just sat there with my mouth open. What if it was Paul? Oh my god!
"Yes ill be there right away"
He gave me the name of the hospital and i hung up, said goodbye to Kelly and ran out the door.
I got into my car and drove (way above the speed limit but i didnt care) to the hospital and to intensive care.
"Hello my names Nicole Marron, im here to see that man who was brought in... to *gulp* identify him"
"Yes maam this way please"
She picked up a folder and started walking down a hallway to the intensive care ward. She lead me to a descreet corner where a curtain concealed a bed. She pulled it open and there he was, laying in that bed with who knows what machinery attached. He looked so small and frail in that bed.
"Do you recognise him miss?"
Tears streamed my face and i nodded.
"His name please?"
"Oh... Paul... Paul Mcdermott. He's my.. my... OH god!"
She wrote down a few more details and left me alone with him for a while.
"Oh god Paul im so so sorry. I was angry... lord knows i still should be. Than poor little boy."
I began but was interupted by one of the machines beeping.
"Nurse!!!!" I called and she ran in.
"Oh my god he's gone into arrest! Miss you're going to have to leave..."
"But i..."
"PLEASE!"
I backed away and the last thing i heard was "im not getting a pulse..."
