Promises were meant to be broken.
Chapter 4
"He's dead."
"That's a sick joke to play at, mate." I muttered, turning to face Tyler, who was carelessly leaning on the doorframe, watching me intensely.
"If only it was a joke.....then maybe everything would be back to normal." he breathed. I furrowed me
eyebrows together.
"No. No he's not. I would of heard from someone."
"Not if you never answered your phone when Samantha called."
i felt my breathing quicken before i knew it everything went dark.
I slowly opened my eyes, to see Tyler hovering over me. I felt wet tears roll down my cheeks.
"H-How d-di-"
"Car crash." he stated so easily, like it meant nothing.
"Wh-what happened." I stuttered. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"We were leaving a end of the year party at least a year after you left. Johan was driving,Samantha in the passenger seat and ......I was in the back. We weren't speeding, actuallyJohan was being soo careful. He was nervous, he knew thered be drunk driver's that night. We werent going to be late for curfew so there was no need for us to rush but...but ..I wish we were. I wish we did pass curfew. I wish we had gotta drunk and passed out at the party. but we didn't and for once I wish Johan wasn't so responsible or protective, because if he wasn't he'd be here...with us. We were crossing the street when a car ran the red light smashing right into us." he paused to wipe away a few tears aggressively. "We laid there, glass shattered into our skin, blood leaking from our bodies. I was in the back, I couldn't move, me leg had been crushed inbetween the car door and seat. I watched how Johan made empty promises to Samantha, he promised her we'd all be fine, that we'd laugh in a week about it, looking at each others bruises. He promised us he'd be fine but-but I knew he wasn't going to make it. You see the car crashed into the driver's side where me and Johan were..... Breakng 3 of his ribs, his left leg and a shard of glass dug into his lungs. He was dieing, drowning in his own blood, and yet he didnt let Samantha say good bye, he didn't let her know what amount of pain he was in. But I knew. I knew he wasn't going to make it. I prayed to God to take my life instead of his. I prayed and prayed! Watching him die in Samantha's arms and yet, here I am!" he cried burying his head in his hands. "And you only made it worse! Never answered her calls, her pleads, you missed his funereal and you're suppose to be one of his closest friends!" he yelled. Before he stormed out of the room, punching a hole in the wall on his way out. I layed there hearing his feet stomp throughout the house.
"TYLER! PLEASE! TALK TO ME!" Samatha's voice pleaded.
" NO! How about you go to your precious Zayn, the one who has the decenty to come here after what he did to you, to Johan!" I heard him yell before I heard the front door slam open and close. I heard footsteps run upstairs.
"What did you say!" she yelled as she entered the room.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I whispered.
"I TRIED! YOU NEVER ANSWERED!"
"I'm sorry."
"ZAYN YOU PROMISED ME YOU'D ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME!"
"I meant that love."
"SO WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU!" I couldn't find the words to answer her so I just stares at my feet hoping this was all a dream.
"Just go Zayn and this time don't promise me anything and don't come back." She whispered shattering my heart. " I don't need this and neither does my family..... Or what's left of it."
"That's a sick joke to play at, mate." I muttered, turning to face Tyler, who was carelessly leaning on the doorframe, watching me intensely.
