Chapter 16
Carlos P.O.V
This week was horrible. I was so disappointed after I found out that T.K smoked again...it's...i don't know okay. I thought he's done with it. He promised me something...I can't look into his eyes right now thats why I ignored him all week. I know that's probably not the best way but yeah...
Buck Is gone since Monday...I don't know where he is. I tried to call him multiple times. He doesn't pick up. His phone is turned off. I sigh. I ring the doorbell at his house.
Maddie: *opens the door very quickly* buck?? Oh it's just you.... *sighs*
Carlos: I'm sorry *sighs* can I come in?
Maddie: sure. What do you want?
Carlos: to talk with you about what happened on Monday and maybe the reason he's gone. I think you should know that.
Maddie: okay...what happened on Monday?
Carlos: i think i should start from the beginning. *sighs* so I don't know if he told you but we have a girl in our class. Her name is Taylor. At the beginning of the summer break they hooked up a few times before she went on vacation. *sighs* when she came back it started to be something real. They went on dates and had sex
Maddie: more information than I need *laughs softly*
Carlos: sorry *laughs* so they were together until something happened...you probably know that buck was a so called „fuckboy" before he hooked up with Taylor
Maddie: yeah I know *sighs* we had many girls here
Carlos: but after he hooked up with Taylor he didn't sleep with anyone else. One party he was drunk and slept with another girl...Taylor caught him...this really hurt her, of course. She started to ignore him and broke up. It killed Buck. He was heartbroken
Maddie: that's the reason he was so pissed the last few weeks *sighs*
Carlos: yeah...Maddie he's taking drugs. *sighs* you probably know that buck can be very aggressive while he's drunk. So we were playing football in school and my team made a touchdown and he freaked out. He freaked out completely. I looked into his eyes and I saw that look. The look T. *realizes what he's about to say* the look Someone I know has when he's high. Buck attacked me. He got suspended and yeah...I wanted to talk with him but he ran away. I talked with T.K and a friend of T.K and he said that buck is taking drugs. So I knew why he was so aggressive. *sighs*
Maddie: oh my gosh *starts to walk up and down* so he could be everywhere...probably high and...maybe he's hurt or maybe something happened...
Carlos: hopefully he's okay. I just thought you should know... I will try to call buck over and over again. I need to go know. My family and I are driving to San Diego. My parents want to take the highway but to be honest i know some small roads outside of LA. It's way faster. I'll call you if I have news. You do too okay?
Maddie: sure. Thank you Carlos. Thank you so much.
Carlos: not for that Maddie *smiles*
I go back to my car after giving Maddie a deep hug. I sigh. I start my way to San Diego. I'm driving these small roads outside of La. It's way faster than the highway. I see a car coming towards me. It's way too fast. It's coming closer and closer. Now everything is black...
Buck P.O.V
I ran away. I ran away from all my problems. That's what I always do. I wait in front of the school until I see Taylor. I go towards her and grab her hand.
Taylor: what do you want from me Evan? *annoyed*
Buck: i want to talk. Please listen to me. It's killing me that you are ignoring me
Taylor: it's killing you? That's a really good joke *laughs* you know what's killing me? That the boy I was in love with cheated on me with a stupid bitch! I really thought you changed. I thought you are a nice guy who's not just the fuckboy...I was wrong. People can't change.
Buck: i can, it was a mistake and i miss you. I really miss you. Please Taylor give me one more chance.
Taylor: why should I? Why should I give you another chance?
Buck: it's Never going to happen again. I promise *kisses her*
Taylor: *pushes Buck away* you can't just kiss me like nothing happened. I will think about it. Now let me go. *sighs* maybe we can continue talking when you are sober. I can see and smell that your high.
She just goes away. I look after her. It hurts....I miss her. I go back to my car and drive home, I pack a bag and drive away. I stop at our lake. The lake we were camping last summer. I turn my phone off and I float away. I float away because of the pills I bought. Now I know why T.K is taking drugs. It's great. I feel better. I feel like I'm flying. It feels so good.
I stay here for days. On Friday I decide I should go back home. I get into my car.
I'm still high. I start driving. I love this feeling. Being free and because of this small roads I can go as fast as I want. Not many people are driving here. I look outside of the window. Suddenly lights move closer to me. Closer and closer. They are coming towards me very fast. Very very fast. What is this?
Oh my gosh it's a car!! I hit the breaks as hard as possible but it's too late. I crash into the other car. It's a head-on collision...everything is black for a few minutes...when I wake up I feel pain. Not much pain...I can't move. I look up. Blood is running down my face. I try to see someone inside the other car. It's a man. Looks more like a very young man. Wait a minute. I'm able to see a little bit of his face...I start to panic when I realize who's sitting behind the steering wheel. I can't breathe....I can't breathe...oh my gosh....I think he's dead...oh my gosh...
I search for my phone. I turn it on. I look at the other car again. I grab my phone. Someone is calling me but I can't pick it up. I can't see clearly. My phone is ringing again...it's Eddie...I pick it up...I hear T.K and Eddie asking me questions...
Buck: i messed up... *sobs* I did a mistake...I think he's dead *cries* I can't get out to help him...
T.K: who's dead? Buck what happened? Where are you?
Buck: on a quiet Road outside of La...it's a small road which Leads to San Diego...
Eddie: I know where it is. Buck we are on our way! Stay with us on the phone
Buck: i can't... *sighs*
T.K: you can Buck. Tell us what happened
I am hearing them very quiet...I can't hear them normally...my head falls to the side...I Stare at his car...He's not moving...I think I killed him...
