oakley's pov

i pulled out of the club venue, on the way to bring me and pau home.

"oak..." pau said softly as she leaned her head against the window. i raised a brow, focused on the road, "huh?" i asked. i tapped lightly on the break to slow down the car and nothing happened.

i tried pressing on the breaks as we were coming to an intersection, but no avail.

my heart dropped in my ass. "somethin's wrong..." i whispered. paulina raised her head in confusion.

"my breaks... they're not workin'" i said as i repeatedly stepped on the break. the intersection we were coming up to was pact with cars. all i could do was to swerve to avoid any collision.

i turned the wheel as much as possible, intending dodging any of the cars near us. everything was a blur and i didn't even see what direction we were going.

"oak!" paulina screamed in fear. i could feel i had lost control of the car and my instincts told me to protect pau. my arm raced to block the airbag from hurting pau.

within seconds, both airbags inflated in front of me and pau. my vision turned dark for a split second and my vision was greeted with stars. the windshield shattered , and i felt bits of millions of pieces of glass surround me.

as soon as i could gain strength, i eagerly swept glass away and tried moving the airbags out the way to check on pau. "pau!" i shouted. i removed my seat belt to lean over to her. no response.

"paulina!" i yelled even louder for her to hear. still nothing. please God no... i reached to her and grabbed her shoulders to shake her to consciousness. "paulina! please!" i shook her as best as i could.

the airbag obviously bruised her. pau had two major cuts on her forehead and her nose was running with blood. her eyes stayed shut. shards of glass were intertwined in her long black hair.

my eyes began to water. i didnt stop shaking pau in attempt to wake her. i saw red and blue lights flash in the rearview mirror. soon enough, emt showed up to the car and took pau.

two police officers approached me and i stepped out. i had a small limp but i was fine for the most part. "please officers... my fiancé she's pregnant--" i pleaded to just skip any questions and ride with pau to the hospital.

"we have some questions first.." one officer said. "great, i have answers, but please i need to ride with my fiancé!" i shouted getting anxious. "i need to know she's okay!" i begged.

"have you been drinking tonight, sir?" another officer asked. well, yes. but i was NOT drunk. my breaks gave out or something. my best bet was to just lie to avoid amy other unnecessary questions.

"no i haven't. somethin' went wrong with my breaks! check them" i raised my hands in defense. the two policemen looked to each other. "will you be willing to do a sobriety test for us?"

this is so fucking unnecessary. "sure, anythin'! please i just need to be with my girl, she's pregnant" i literally won't stfu because i should be in that ambulance with pau...

i did everything the police asked me. walked in a straight line, followed a finger with my eyes, literally passed everything. "we might have to take him in..." the policeman said. fuck no.

i facepalmed. "sir, i've done everythin' you've asked me. the ambulance just took my fiancé who's pregnant with my child to a hospital. she was unconscious. please i'm sober enough. if you have anythin' to investigate, look at my damn car!" i said in what felt like one breath.

one of the two police shrugged. "lets take a look" he muttered. he examined the car and looked at the tires. "yikes... looks like both your front brakes have been cut..." the policeman said. cut?

"looks like you got on someones bad side" they chuckled together. what tf was funny about that? who the hell would even think to cut my breaks?

they wrote a report about the crash and a detective was on the scene soon. eventually they let me go and i got the quickest uber to the hospital. upon arriving, the doctors and nurses already took pau in an emergency room.

the charge nurse advised me to take a seat in the waiting room. no one even told me the status of what pau or my child was in. i sat in an extremely uncomfortable hospital chair, head between my legs, and praying to god pau and my baby were okay.

i texted pau's parents everything. i let my mum know what had happened as well. i put my phone back down and buried my head in my hands.

ding.

must be pau's mum.

my jaw dropped to the floor. this psycho bitch.

"are you ms. Sanchez' boyfriend?"

my eyes perked up and saw a man in bright blue scrubs, face mask on, accompanied by two women in dark blue scrubs. i stood up quickly. i could feel my heart in my ass.

"i'm dr. graham..."

"is she okay? is my baby okay? doctor please..."

"i'm afraid the impact of the accident has sent ms. sanchez' nervous system into a shock. we have temporarily placed her under a coma to monitor her nervous system. this way we can ensure her the best healing process"

"how is my child? what's happened to my child?" i began to shout. "the fetus was not affected as far as our sonographers have detected--"

i let out the deepest breath. "my god..." i placed a hand over my chest.

"however, it is unclear if the child will be born with or without any defects. we advise you and ms. sanchez to book an appointment with her obgyn ASAP" the doctor added. the doctor handed me a card and walked away.

the two women, i'm guessing were the nurses, stayed with me and talked with me about paulina. "would you like to see her?" a nurse asked me. i nodded my head. they lead me into a hospital room.

paulina laid there in the bed. almost looking lifeless. tears welled into my eyes. "my beautiful pau..." i slowly approached her. i grabbed her hand and held it in mine. it was so cold.

i examined her hand. there were raw scratches covering her hand to her arm. her engagement ring sat upon her finger. i felt tears escaped my eyes and onto my cheeks.

"i should be the one in the hospital bed. i should be the one needing this oxygen mask. i should be the one close to death... not you pau" i muttered with small sniffles between each sentence.

"anyone but you.." i whispered.
