Amelia

I had gone back home with Sophy, although my ride here was with Adam.

I just couldn't stand being with him for the three hours trip back home.

We would end up killing each other... Correction, I would end up killing HIM.

We took a shortcut that Sophy knew and arrived before the required time.

After thanking her, I hop out of her car and head straight to my door.

It's back to reality now.

No more sunbathing, refreshing breeze, brunches, dinner outside and... GAH!!! I need to stop.

I'm back home now. Where I belong. This is my reality.

Speaking of reality.... Dad!

I haven't checked up on him for a long time.

I'll have to go to the hospital. The city hospital, right?

Of course! I really need to stop thinking like a dingbat.

I fish out my keys from my purse, which is always quite empty, since I never put too much stuff in them.

I unlock the door and go straight to my room. I throw my gym bag on my bed and head out, making sure to lock the door behind me.

I take the bus, not knowing the way to the city hospital.

Excuse me for not being involved in an accident in the middle of nowhere!

I get there soon enough and practically run to the reception, where my dad's room number is given to me.

Thanking the receptionist, I start to look for my dad's ward.

Hmmm... Ward 246. Where could that be?

Aha! There it is.

"Take him to the ER! He's badly injured and will need treatment as soon as possible. Can someone please identify this young man, and maybe a relative?!"

I stop in my tracks and turn to see who the victim is.

My purse drops from my hand.

It can't be!

This must be a dream... A very nasty one.

I pinch myself and... Ouch!!! Definitely not dreaming.

On the stretcher, is an injured... No, half dead Adam.

There's a stream of blood flowing down the left side of his face and blood stains were on his shirt.

What could possibly have caused that accident.

And why is everyone that I know getting into one form of accident or another.

Can't someone get a break from all these?

I know I hate him, but I don't want him to end up this way.

What Adam did to me deserves a death filled hatred, but why do I feel like I care.

I don't realise that I'm crying until I feel the tear drops on my cheek.

I quickly wipe it off and approach the doctor who was giving orders just a minute ago.

"Um... Excuse me sir" I start, still racking my brain for an appropriate approach.

"I... I know him" I say, referring to the knocked out body on the stretcher.

My eyes begin to burn with a fresh batch of tears and I waste no time in letting them out.

"Oh my... I'm so sorry miss. Who is he to you? Your brother?" The blonde doctor asks, while fishing out a pen from his pocket.

That question came unexpectedly. I mean I should've seen it coming, but no... I just had to be too devastated to even think properly.

Who is Adam to me? A betrayer. A liar... A freaking player!!!

You have no idea how much I want to scream those words out loud, but I decide to go for the obvious.

"He's... A friend" I say those last words with a fist.

"In that case, you should know his parents" the doctor says hopefully.

"I do. They live just next door. But as we speak, his parents are out of town on a business trip." I reply, feeling a little guilty for disappointing the doctor.

How do I know this? While we were still at the beach house, his parents had called to tell him of their trip. I didn't pay much attention, figuring that I had nothing to do with Adam.

"In that case, you could tell your parents to fill up for his" the doctor suggests.

"I'll let them know. Thanks a lot Doctor...." I cut off, realising I have no idea who I'm speaking with.

"Henry" he replies, stretching out his hand for a handshake.

I shake his hands and give him a pleasant smile.

"Mia" I say in return.

"Please do all you can to save my friend. He means a lot to me" I blurt out of nowhere.

Where did that come from?

After Doctor Henry leaves, I take the chance to see my dad.

Getting to the door, I pick up my purse, which had dropped earlier.

Like I said... Too devastated to think.

I go in and I'm welcomed by a familiar voice.

"Mia sweety! So nice of you to come. Its been a while"

Without checking to see who that voice belongs to, I quickly fling my arms around my dad, causing him to stumble a bit.

"I've missed you so much dad" I say, squishing my face into his shirt.

"I've missed you too sweet.... What's wrong Mia?" He asks as soon as I release from the hug.

"What?" I ask, as confused as can be.

"You've been crying?"

Oh...

I must have forgotten to wipe off the tears

"Dad, can I tell you something?"

"You can tell me anything"

"Adam's in this hospital. He was involved in an accident and is currently in a near death state."
