What Fate Brings

Chapter 9

Spencer's POV
It was 6:00 in the morning. To me, that is practically midnight. Everyone that I know, knows that disrupting me from my slumber is going to bring out the monster in me.

The sound of a guitar strumming breaks out around the room. Aria was calling me- bitch!
"What?" I say angrily spitting into the receiver.
"Taylah's dead" Aria cries back.
I regret my words immediately.
How could I be so stupid?
Of course Aria would call me at this time about Taylah.
My heart sinks to my stomach and threatens to splurge out of my mouth.
Taylah couldn't be dead.
It was April 1st; this is Aria's idea of a sick joke for sure.
"You're kidding?" I say back scarcely.
I knew I said the wrong thing when all I could hear was the sound of distinct screams, cries and a dial tone.
I hit Toby on the stomach with all the force I could muster.
He coughs and sits up quickly.
"What the fuck Spencer? That's the third time you hit me this week!"
Tears pour down my face and into my lap. Toby realises that something is wrong, for I never cry.
"Just drive me to the hospital" I whisper sadly.
The whites of Toby's eyes enlarge at my words.
"What's wrong with Taylah?"
I refuse to say the words. I can't. It will make it more real.
"Just drive me" I groan frustrated.
"Okay, okay! Get ready and I'll get Aubree ready."
After 10 minutes we were finally on the way to the hospital.
"Now are you going to tell me what's wrong?" he says rubbing my leg soothingly.
"Just drive, you'll see for yourself."
After 20 minutes we finally arrived at the Children's Hospital.
I jump out of the car and bolt for the entrance, not caring about Toby or Aubree. I needed to see Aria.
I see Aria and Ezra sitting in the waiting room distraught.
"Where is she? Can I see her? Please tell me your lying!" I gasp at Aria.
Aria looks at me sadly.
"Room B26" she says looking down.
I bolt down the wards and find room B26.
This is my fate. This is what we were waiting for. This final moment.
I had to say good bye to one of the most adored little 10 year olds I ever met.
I opened the door, ready to face it.

Good bye Taylah.
