The Lives Of Abigail Rose Stump and Jakayla Ann Wentz

Chapter 4: The Accident

•Patrick's POV•
Maybe driving while drunk wasn't a good idea...
"Patrick?!?" I hear someone question.
"Ugh... My head..."
"Hey, Patrick. You really should have had me come and pick you up," I hear someone comment.
"Pete?" I ask.
"Yeah. Hey, Pattycakes."
"Ugh. Don't call me that. What happened?"
"You hit a pole... And a teenager."
"Oh. Is the kid okay?"
"I don't know, Patrick..."
"Could you ask? I feel terrible now."
"Sure, 'Trick." Pete walks out of my hospital room to find a nurse. I hear him ask, "How's the kid Patrick accidentally ran over?"
The nurse answers, "She just woke up five minutes ago. The doctor just went in to check on her."
Pete asks, "What's her name?"
"Jakayla."
"Thanks, Ms.?"
"Ms. Jackson."
"Thank you, Ms. Jackson."
"You're welcome, Pete. Call me sometime?" The nurse hands Pete a slip of paper.
"Sorry, but I'm taken. My wife is waiting for me at home."
"Oh. Well I'll be back in ten minutes to check on Patrick. Jakayla's room is room 124."
"Thank you, Ms. Jackson." Pete walks back into my room.
"Pete? You don't have a wife."
"I know. I lied."
"Oh Peter."
"Hey. Don't call me Peter."
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Let's go check on her."
"Her name is Jakayla," Pete says with tears in his eyes. "Like my... Sister..."
"Hey, Panda. It's okay. You'll find her."
"No. I won't. My mom said she died."
"Are you sure she didn't lie?"
"We never had a funeral."
"That's suspicious."
"Yeah. It is. Isn't it?" Pete wonders.
*riiiiinnnnnnggggg*
*riiiiinnnnnnggggg*
"Pete! Your phone is ringing."
"Oh! Hello?... Hi dad... At the hospital with Patrick. Why?... You WHAT?... Okay okay. I'm calm... I SAID I'M CALM!... Where?... By who?... By... No that's not possible... She's dead... You hid that from me for 16 years!!! Dad!... Okay... Yeah... I'll tell Patrick... Yeah... Love you too Dad... Bye." Pete runs his hand through his hair.
"What happened, Panda?"
"She's alive."
"Who?"
"My sister. And you ran her over."
"That's great. WAIT! I what?!?"
