My worry for Ivory was growing as more and more as the minutes ticked by. My hands itched to call her back, just to make sure she is okay and has stopped crying.

Hearing Ivy cry made me on full alert. "Come on," I muttered to myself. "Get your adorable butt here." My bags full of clothes were beside the door for us to leave.

I looked at the time, it was quite sometime since she called me and she should be pulling into my driveway soon.

CRASH!

A loud sound outside made me jump, I looked through the window to see three cars in the middle of the road.

It was a car crash.

I slipped on my shoes and my jacket before running outside towards the people who gotten in a wreck.

"Someone call 911!" One of my neighbors- Ruby- an elder woman with an obsession with the color green. That's all she wore, green nail polish, green clothing, green make up, green hair clips. The only thing that wasn't green was her skin, hair and teeth. Her eyes were the a jade green of course.

A tall man was on his phone calling for the emergency. I walked towards Ruby who was trying to get the people out of their cars. A few other people were helping Ruby.

I froze when they pulled someone out. At first, I didn't recognize who it was mostly from all the blood.

Aburn hair was caked in blood dotted with snow and her skin was pale. Two men laid Ivory down carefully and I ran towards her.

My knees hit the cold, winter snow. Not even bothering that the snow was soaking my jeans as I cradled her in my arms.

"Ivy," my voice was soft but cracked at the end.

Her eyes slowly opened, only in little slits. She has a huge gash on her forehead. Her lips were pale and dry with blood on them. She had internal bleeding, I smoothed down some hair that was in her face.

"Ivy, no." My voice was raw with emotion.

Her eyes were dropping. "Hey!" I yelled at Ruby. She turned to look at me with panick in her eyes. "Where is the ambulance!?!!"

"It should be on the way!" Ruby said. "That girl, you know her?"

I bit my lip looking down at her small frame, her eyes were peeking up at mine. I didn't ansee Ruby.

"Ivy," I said. "Baby, I'm so sorry. The ambulance is on their way."

She moaned in pain, coughing up more blood. Her shirt's front was caked in blood, glass had cut her all over her face and arms. A big piece of glass was in her stomach and I whimpered.

"You're going to be okay." I assured her even though I didn't kmow if it was true or not.

She was loosing a lot of blood, she was dying on me. That couldn't happen.

"I...." She struggled for words. My eyes were stinging and my heart was beating loudly in my ears.

"Ivory," I made her eyes open again.

"I..I'm sorry," she croaked.

I almost choaked. I moved a few pieces of her hair away from her face once again. "It's okay baby. You'll be okay."
