“Even if it was some of your parents fault I still blame myself for everything. Especially for ruining your life.” Sidney said turned away from my face. I could feel the hurt he as going through.
“You didn’t ruin my life. You made it better, Sidney. If it weren’t for the crash I wouldn’t have met you.” I said kinda embarrassed.
“Are you saying you have a crush on me?” Sidney asked getting his happiness back.
“I don’t know do you want me to have a crush on you?” I asked trying to be funny.
“Ha-ha, maybe I do maybe I don’t.” Sidney said trying to act normal, but I could see he really liked me.
“Well, I don’t think I should because I just met you and plus I probably shouldn’t date a criminal.” I said starting to laugh. It was silent for a while. I looked up at Sidney and saw that he was on the verge of crying.
“Sidney?” I asked.
“Yes.” He answered. I could see it was hard for him to talk.
“You know I was joking. Please come over here.” I said softening my voice.
“I know, but I can’t help but blame myself for everything. Ever since I saw you lying on the bottom of the car floor I fell in love with you. How your hair glittered in the sun. I know it wasn’t the most beautiful moment, but it was for me. I love you, Kay. I know it’s only been a day or so, but I truly love you.” Sidney said. I was in shock about what he had just said I was almost crying when Claire walked in with Dr. Cole right at her heels. I wiped away my tears and so did Sidney as they walked over to me.
“Ok kids time to go to bed. I know it’s been a long day for both of you so I think you will be glad to have some rest time.” Dr. Cole said as he directed Claire to close the curtain then walked out.
About a minute after Claire and the doctor left I heard Sidney start to softly cry. I felt so bad because I was the one he loved and I was also the one who ruined his life.
“Hey Sidney, do you hate me because you love me, but in the process of that I ruined your life?” I asked quietly.
“What? How could you ever think I would hate you? I love you with all my heart, Kay. How could you think of something like that?” He asked calming down a bit.
“I thought that because if I told my parents to stop arguing then my dad would’ve seen you and you and I wouldn’t be in this mess. I ruined your life Sidney how could you love me after that?” I asked still on the verge of crying.
“If it weren’t for this mess than I would have never met you and fallen in love, Kay. The result of a horrible accident is that two people have fallen in love.” Sidney said as he pulled the curtain back to come lay next to me. I scooted over so he could fit. I let him put his arm around my body. His arm was so warm and comforting. I turned around and looked at his beautiful face in the moonlight coming in from the window. "I finally found the one." I thought to myself.
“I love you, Sidney, and I always will.” I said softly. He took his hand under my chin and lifted my lips up to his. He kissed me ever so gently I barely noticed. I feel asleep in his arms that night.
