Lachlan's P.O.V.

I stared at Rob as he paced around the room. Anxious to leave the house, yet in absolute fear of the idea of going to the hospital.

I needed to see him though. I needed to see Vikk.

"Rob," I questioned. Rob stopped pacing for a moment to stare me in the eyes. Concern filled his eyes to the brim.

As well as tears of worry. Hurt ached in my chest to see him this way.

"Yes Lachlan?" Rob answered. Tapping his foot on the wooden floor. The movement seeming to calm him down but for me it only made him look insane.

Pity swelled in my chest as I stared at him. Rob was a nervous wreck right now.

"You don't have to go in the room if you don't want to." I replied. Rob's whole face relaxed. Rob's eyebrows going back to their normal place.

The worry drained out of his expression. Leaving only fear. But it was minimized.

"I.....I want to Lachlan....I'm just afraid..." Rob spoke up. His voice hoarse I stared at him. Nodding my head once I brushed past him.

Butterflies exploding in my stomach as I grew nearer to the door. A longing to run and hide in my room fogged my mind.

Yet I pushed on. My hand shaky I placed it hesitantly on the doorknob. Slowly turning it open I stared as the door slowly swung open on it's own.

Showing me the outside world. It was the same as before. Nothing changed in the world. Yet we did. Six humans in a world of a billion people.

Had their lives changed or stopped by....Car accidents... My vision blurred. Adrenaline coursed through my veins as I let the tears fall.

My feet unwillingly shoving me towards the car I let out a whimper. Knowing Rob was behind me made me uneasy.

My left hand whipping onto the car door I stopped. Slowly turning around I felt more tears fall as I stared at Rob.

Rob's eyes were filled with fear as he walked to the other side of the car. His whole body shook as he reached for the handle of the car door.

Pulling it open, he bent downwards and got inside. Following his example I waited for him patiently to start the car.

Both of us dreading the sound of the car. Rob shot me a frightful glance, tears trickled down either sides of his face. Rob's cheeks glistening from the tears.

"Rob..." I spoke up but he stopped me. Whipping his hand up he opened his mouth and explained.

"I don't want to kill another person I love by driving." Rob blurted out. My eyes widening in shock I whipped around to see Rob smack his head on the driving

wheel repeatedly. Often mumbling words I couldn't hear. The car horn blared whenever he smashed his head on the wheel.

Blood starting to trickle down his cheek I stopped him.

"Rob! It wasn't. Your. Fault. The other car came by. It wasn't his turn. It's not your fault. It's nobody's fault. Accidents. Happen.

And when they do, just be lucky you had time with the person you loved. Cherish the memories, don't mourn them Rob. Don't be like...." I speeched.

My eyes widening as I remembered the letter Preston wrote.

"Like what?" Rob wondered. Tears no longer trickling down his face. Blood leaking down the side of his left cheek he wiped it away.

Yet more came to replace the stains. My hand sliding upwards I laid it on my pocket.

Shoving my fingers into my pocket I handed what I got out to Rob. I never read it. But I knew this one was for Rob...

Rob's P.O.V.

Confusion swept my mind as I stared at the folded up piece of paper. Glancing at Lachlan he nodded. Gesturing for me to open it.

"I never read this one before, it was addressed to you." Lachlan spoke up. Honesty in his voice I realized what he was talking about....

It was one of Preston's letters.....Stumbling to unfold it I whipped it open and started to read.

'Dear Rob,

Did I ever tell you how much I love you? How many times I try to tell you yet I'm too shy to say it?

I'm afraid of saying something. I'm afraid I will ruin our friendship like I ruin everything else I walk in on.

I wish you could read this and tell me you love me back. But that probably won't happen. Let me just say that, if you don't love me back.

It's not your fault. I'll forgive you. Nothing is your fault. Nothing ever will be your fault.

Blame is just a thing people use to feel better about themselves. Or, if you're in my situation. To make yourself feel worse on the inside.

I wish you were here right now. I am too far in fear to think of seeing you again. But, I miss you.

And the accident, I know it's not your fault. It was the other car. I'm guessing it was a car accident.....

Because right now I'm in a car wreckage...I'll survive, don't worry about me. I just hope you're alright Rob.

Not knowing anything, if you're alright, or how much I tried saying I love you but I never got the chance.

Now I may never get to. I'm sorry Rob. I'm sorry for everything your going through. I just hope you're alright.

I love you so much. Don't forget the bright side of situations my Flower King. You were always good at finding them.

From,Preston '

My eyes widened as I read it over and over again....He....He forgives me? He loves me? He loved me......

But he could be gone now....Turning to Lachlan I stared at him. Curiosity beamed ferociously in his eyes as he waited.

"Well?" Lachlan wondered. Lachlan's voice cracking from crying so much. I stared at the paper. My heart feeling heavy as if it were about to fall to the floor.

"He loves me"
