Chapter 25
My eyes were fixed on Zachary as he read each one of my messages, his expressions changed like a chameleon changing it's colours. It frightened me and increased my anxiety.
My palms grew wet and my legs were shaking. Thoughts were running free in my mind like horses galloping in the field. What possibly could be the matter? Zach wasn't saying anything, he was silent. His reactions said it all and i couldn't take the suspense anymore.
"Zachary. Could you at least tell me what's wrong and why have they tried to contact me?" I asked him with a nervous tone.
He sighed and put the phone down, i tried to look at him in the eyes, but he closed it and pinched the bridge of his nose. I stared at him until he spoke, by now my anxiety was full blown bonkers.
"Claire, i need you to remain calm okay? Don't over think this and just relax." He looked into my eyes with concern. I nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Todd...he...he's been in an accident."
Been in an accident.
I sat there struck with shock, unable to move, unable to speak. The words accident was ringing inside my mind. I couldn't even hear Zachary call me.
"We need to go see him now." I sounded like a zombie, dead with shock. "Find out which hospital he is in." I rose from my seat and walked to Zach's car, like i was possessed or something.
At that moment I didn't care what Todd did to me, i just wanted to see him, to ensure he's still alive. My heart was beating like a drum, i seemed as if I was calm, but deep down I was a storm raging. I loved him, i could fool everyone that I hated him, but myself. I knew the truth and i couldn't pretend i didn't.
We eventually got to Rose Thorn Hospital. As soon as I got out of the car my legs went wobbly and i couldn't hold my balance. Zachary rushed to my side, allowing me to lean onto him, giving me support as we entered the hospital.
The last time I've been to a hospital, was to say goodbye to Emily's dead body, both Zachary and I were there. It felt as if the moment was reliving itself. My stomach churned and i swear I could feel my food wanting to rush up my throat.
"Hi, I'm Zachary and this is Claire, we're looking for Todd Woods room. He was rushed to the hospital half an hour ago." Zach spoke to the receptionist who starred at my pale self.
"Uh, Woods, woods. Ah yes, he is in room 53. He isn't accepting visitors right now, so you could sit by the waiting room with the rest of those who came to see him. Does your friend need help? She doesn't seem okay." She asked out of concern.
