Andrew's POV

'How are you here!'

'Why are you here!'

'And how the hell are you driving!'

'ANDREW ANSWER!!'

Emma screamed on top of her lungs demanding answers she wouldnt get soon.

'Hey if you dont want tomorrow's headlines  to be CLUMSY YOUNGSTERS DIE IN HORRIFIC CAR CRASH. It would be really great if you shut up.'

Well i hope that wasnt..

'Rude.' Emma completed for me.

'Whatever.'

'But how are you ..'

'Sshhhh..' i spat out.

Emma sighed and relaxed herself on the seat, she looked outside the window and closed her eyelids for sometime.

She was tired,  it was too noticeable.

Its then when i realized that i had infact met her in the hospital. Why was she there?  Also her eyes were sore and red. Something was wrong.

I suddenly stopped the car causing emma to startle and wake up from her quick nap. She looked at me with confusion. 

I was the one who needed answers .

'Why were you in the hospital? I asked her in a serious tone. She looked at me for the fraction of a second and smirked. I knew she wasnt going to spill the answers out so easily.

'You answer my questions,  ill answer yours.' I told her. I could be a business man some day.

'Deal.' Emma replied.

I waited for emma to start but she didnt. She was expressionless. I raised my eyebrows and then hesitantly, she started.

'Taylor.. Taylor she met with an accident. '

Her voice was filled with immense sorrow. I immediately felt gloomy.

'She was driving down the street when , this drunk truck driver rammed into her car. She's seriously injured but now she's out of da .. dan..' Emma's voice broke, as tears escaped her eyes.

She let out tiny sobs and placed her hand on her forehead.  Without any hesitation, i took her into my arms,  and hugged her tight to give her the warmth and support she needed.

' Emma, Taylor will be fine . Dont worry.' I assured her.

Keeping in my mind how lightly i was taking her before, i felt really guilty.

And yet again you hurt her Mr. Garfield.  BRAVO!

After sometime she stopped crying and broke from the hug. 'Im sorry, i got carried away.' She said.

'And its your turn now.'

Wow .Note to self : Emma has good memory.

'Remember i told you, i had once come to toronto for summer vacation? ' i asked her hoping she would remember our conversations in europe, though it had been quite some time.

She nodded.

'I actually came to visit my younger brother Freddie. He studies here. ' I know she might be surprised.

'And why im here today and in the hospital? Freddie has Asthma. And his asthma attacks have been frequent for the past 2 weeks. Mom was worried so she sent me here. Last night  Freddie wasnt in good shape, so i got him to the hospital.'

This reminded me of Freddie, I should call and check on him but first let me drop emma.

We started our journey again.

:::::::::::::

'Left from here.. yeah thats it.' Emma gave me directions to her house and after a good 15 minute ride we reached her house. It looked big enough to accommodate two people.

'Well thanks for the ride Andrew..' she gave me a smile.

'No problem, and do not worry about taylor, she will surely be alright.' I told her. I had a gut feeling that i was actually speaking the truth.

'Thanks again.' She gave me a last word before entering her house , when i stopped her.

'Emma!  '

She turned around and came back. 'Whaa what happened?'

'Im gonna stay here for sometime and you might need help or maybe i might need help, umm Can I Have Your Number?' I hesitantly asked her.

She giggled and agreed.

We exchanged our numbers and bid farewell for the time being. Time to go check on Freddie.
