Pray

Dear Alex Jung,
Yesterday, you experienced a horrible accident that you don't deserve. Luckily, Ricky was with you and called Pete. The person who hit your car hit and run, but it's okay, I promise we'll find them for you. When the news started to spread, all of your best friends left in search of you. I'm sorry I couldn't leave to look for you, I'm still too young to drive. Pete was updating me on what was going on, and I couldn't stand reading the IMs he was sending me. Pete explained it so vividly that I could imagine everything. The doctors said to not worry, that you were still alive. How could I not worry, you weren't waking up. They sent you to the emergency room to fix your broken bones. Pete told me this when it was around 9:30PM. It was 11:34PM when I signed off and you were still in the emergency room. What's worse is, before I fell asleep, I thought, what if you die, what if you wake up with memory loss, what if you woke up as a totally different person. Then, I realized that my last words to you, before this accident, was "Bye, it's okay. I don't need a shoulder to cry on." What a total bitch I was. I felt like a selfish bitch. A total bitch. I was crying because I was going through stupid problems in my life and you were doing the best you can to help me. You said to me, "If you want a shoulder to cry on, you have mine." I need a shoulder to cry on right now, and you're at the hospital, unconscious. Before I fell asleep, I asked myself, "What will I do tomorrow?" Remember what you told me Alex? "Never let anything get you down, something good will always come up afterwards." I didn't let your accident get me down today and I'm trusting you to open your eyes so I can believe that something good will always come up. I keep remembering that quote of your's. It really inspired me and I've made a promise to myself. Once you wake up to the sight of your loving friends around you, I will always believe in your quote. Always, I love you Alex <3>
