EVERYONE AROUND ME GETS HURT
The accident
The evening is settling in as Athena and Adrian leave the coffee shop, their discussion about the novel continuing. They walk side by side, deep in conversation, as they approach a crosswalk
Athena
(kicking a small pebble on the sidewalk) You know, one thing that really bugged me was how it wasn't clear who the male lead loved.
Adrian
(Nodding, his hands in his pockets) Yeah, it was so ambiguous. Sometimes it felt like he had feelings for the villain instead of the heroine
*Athena tilts her head, thinking.*
Athena
Exactly. And the way he acted around both of them made it even more confusing 😵
Adrian
(shrugging) Maybe that was intentional. To keep us guessing and create more tension.
They continue their discussion as they start to cross the road, neither paying attention to the approaching truck
Athena
(sighing) I just wish there was a clear answer. It would have made the story feel more complete
Adrian
(Glancing at her) Yeah, but maybe that's the point. To show that love isn't always straightforward
*As they continue talking, the truck gets closer. Neither of them notices the danger until it's too late. The truck driver honks frantically, but there's not enough time to react.*
*Scene abruptly shifts to chaos as the truck hits both of them, the impact sending them sprawling onto the pavement. The sound of screeching tires and a sudden silence follows.*
The emergency room of a hospital. Doctors and nurses are bustling around, working quickly to save Athena and Adrian, who were brought in on stretchers
Doctor
(Examining Athena) We've got a young female, multiple fractures, possible internal bleeding. We need a CT scan immediately.
Doctor 2
(checking Adrian's vitals) The male's in critical condition. Severe head trauma and broken ribs. We need to stabilize him before we can operate
Nurse
(preparing equipment) BP is dropping on both patients. We need to move fast 😨
The doctors and nurses work with urgency, their faces tense and focused. Athena and Adrian take their last breaths, the sound of medical equipment beeping filling the air
