--Andy's POV--

"Mika?!" I ask, but the line goes dead.

I try to call him back, but it goes straight to voicemail. I try again and again, each time getting nothing. I grip the steering wheel tightly.

"Dad?" Nick asks worriedly.

I pull over to the side of the road and step out. Nick starts to get out, but I stop him.

"Stay in the car," I tell him as I call mama.

Nick rolls his eyes, but does as he's told.

"Hello?" Mama asks.

"Are you with Mika?" I ask her quickly.

"No honey. I'm staying for another week. A driver should be-"

"He called me, but he stopped mid-sentence and then we heard a crash and the line went dead....I don't know what to do...he won't answer...I'm worried..." I ramble.

"Honey, slow down," mama says calmly. "Did he say where he was?"

"No," I cry out as I sink to the ground. I hear Nick exit the car and he's quickly by my side.

"Honey, I'm not sure what happened. But hopefully he's okay. Maybe there was an accident near him and he accidentally shut his phone off. Let's just pray, okay?" Mama says.

I just drop the phone and cry into my hands.

"Mama he's crying..." Nick says into my phone. "Okay...love you too...bye."

Nick sits next to me and pulls me into his arms. As he rubs my back my phone goes off. Nick answers it quickly.

"Hello?" Nick answers. He nods his head, not knowing that whomever can't see him. "I-okay....okay...bye."

Nick looks at me with tears in his eyes.

"Who was it?" I ask him as I wipe mine.

"P-Paloma," he stutters. "Her friend said that m-Mika...dad...was in an accident."

"Is he okay?" I ask calmly trying not to freak out for his sake.

Nick just shrugs weakly and falls into my arms as he starts to breakdown.
