Abs sat in some Essex’ bar,sipping from his Pepsi and waiting for Scott to arrive.A while ago Scott had written and recorded a song especially for Kerry.because Kerry didn’t like the real soppy ballads Scott had asked Abs to mix the track and turn it into a dance tune.Abs immediatly agreed with the idea and now he was waiting for his bandmate to pick up the tape.Abs glared at his watch and sighed deeply:Scott was almost an hour too late.
“Alright Robinson,I give you ten more minutes to get out of Kerry’s arms and to come here.”the rapper muttered.Soon the time was up and Abs decided to leave.he stepped into his car and drove to Scott’s place.Abs decided to take the shortest way to Pitsea;a small,sandy road through some woods but suddenly he was greeted by the the sight of police cars and sharp burning lights.A policeman stopped Abs’ car and guided him to the side of the road.
“I’m sorry Sir but you can’t go through here.I’m afraid you have to take a roundabout way.”
Abs nodded and asked”Was there and accident?”
The officer looked up and replied with a serious look on his face”Yes,and a big one,too.I’m sorry for the family of the guy that we pulled out.”
Abs thanked the officer and turned his car until he noticed something in the corner of his eye.
That number plate of the car in the verge!He knew it!
The singer immediatly started thinking and at once he realized the heavy truth;it was Kerry’s car!But why was that policeman talking about a guy that had been driving and not a girl?Without hestitation Abs stepped on the brakes and opened his window.
“Hey Sir!”he yelled towards the policeman”Where is the girl were the car belongs to?”
The officer raised and eyebrow and and questioned”A girl?Do you know the owner of the car?”
Abs nodded.”It belongs to a friend of mine,Kerry Oaker.”
“I’m sorry Sir but we didn’t find a girl.The only person that was in the car at the time of the accident was a man.”
“What did he look like?”Abs asked curious.”Oh God,don’t let it be Scott.But why would he take Kerry’s car?”Abs thought upset
.
“He was almost bald,blue eyes.He was in his twenties,I reckon.Uhm…I think his name was Robson or Robinson.”the policeman said,not knowing what the guy in front of him was thinking.
“Oh fuck…”were the only words that escaped from Abs mouth…
The bright lights in the corridor gave everything an unreal glow.Kerry sat in an uncomfortable chair,her head down in her hands.Abs had called her right after hearing the bad news himself.
“He will be fine.”Abs said while handing the girl a glass of water.She shrugged her shoulders,hoping that Abs was right.A few minutes later a doctor entered the waitingroom,making both people look up with relief.
“Miss Oaker,right?”
Kerry stood up and nodded.
“Is Scott going to be alright?”she asked worried,fiddling her engagement ring.The doctor looked at her for a brief moment before answering”It’s hard to say yet.Mr. Robinson’s got quite serious injuries on his head and whole upper body,including broken rips and a concussion of the brain.His right leg is also broken but the thing that’s alarming me the most is that he’s into a coma.I can’t tell when and not even if he’s going to wake up but I’ll make sure to keep you informed about the patient’s condition.”
Kerry laid her head down on Abs’ shoulder and started sobbing quietly.Abs swallowed hard to keep control over his own emotions,then asked”Can we see him?”
The doctor nodded and said”Yes,you can but not too long.Mr. Robinson needs to rest.”
Abs thanked the doctor and pulled Kerry with him to the room where Scott was laying.
“Are you ready for this,girl?”Abidin questioned.
“I’ll never be ready but Scott needs me right now,probably more than ever before.”
The singer grabbed Kerry’s hand and leaded her inside the room.The first thing both people noticed was the steady beeping of the heart lung machine.A curtain was pulled around the bed,blocking their sight to the person on the bed.Abs took one step forwards and pulled the white curtain to the side,revealing Scott.
The guy was laying on a large bed,surrounded by machines that neither Abs nor Kerry even knew about.An IV was sticking in his left arm,a clear fluid dripping in his veins while another tube was up his nose.He was connected to different machines which had to control his breathing and bloodpressure,making strange beeping noises.
Abs felt Kerry tense up at the sight before she broke down in hysterical crying.A nurse entered the room and said”Come on my dear,let me help you.”She pulled Kerry to a chair at the side of the bed and pushed her firmly on the seat.
“We were supposed to get married tomorrow and now I don’t even know if I will even have to chance to speak to him again.”she cried loudly.The nurse comforted her as good as possible,telling her that nothing was for sure yet.Abs in the meantime was at the other side of Scott,gently pinching his mates hand.
“I don’t know if you can hear me Scott but if you do you gotta get better again soon.We don’t wanna lose you yet.”
At that moment another nurse appeared and told the two young people to leave.Kerry gave Scott a soft kiss on his forehead while Abs whispered”We will be back tomorrow,mate.”
That was the last they saw of Scott before they were leaded out of the room and towards the corridor…
