Staring.

That's how he spent his days now, Looking out the window in his hospital room and every day he felt like he was being mocked by the sun and the birds, what were they chirping happily about?

The man laying in the hospital bed was a different man to the man a month ago. The man a month ago didn't have wrinkles and bags under his eyes, could walk without a limp and a walking stick, the man from a month ago grinned and smiled daily.

Some days are better than others, on the good day's he could close his eyes and replay her smile, her laugh and her soft lips pressed against his and how one kiss would turn into multiple kisses and most of the time something more.

But on the bad days which seem to happen more than the good days. He would close his eyes and replay the crash. The loud beep of the car and then the smash of the car rolling down the hill, the cool blood rushing down his leg due to the glass that was wedged into his. The scared look in Kate's eye's knowing that this time she couldn't win this battle.

"Don't fight Kate, it's alright let you eyes close," Rick remembered telling her as his fingers stroked her cheek as he watched the life drain out of his wife's face and eyes. How her mouth tried to get out the words I love you.

"I know, me too," Rick told her kissing his cheek and then looking up to see more blood from the glass in her head colouring her hair.

As the sirens approached closer and closer he held Kate close to him not caring if he got blood on his shirt, As Kate closed her eyes she gripped as hard as she could on her husband's shirt.

He was about to faint from the blood dripping down his leg from the glass when the paramedics came and rushed him into an ambulance to get the glass out.

The shock that's what the doctors told him, but he didn't think it was shock it was guilt he wouldn't have crashed if just kept his eyes on the road for just a couple of minutes they would be at home in their bed tingled up the bed sheets but instead he was in a hospital bed and Kate most likely had brain damage. But for now he would just wait for the bad news his wife was either dead or had memory loss.
