The Story Of My Life

Chapter 21: Feelings

~•Anna's POV•~
I woke up worried, sad, and confused. I had passed out because of the pain I felt when reading the article. "Big scandal after newest member of Arizona Moon was heavily injured in crash. Hutcherson Parsons (age 17) was driving towards the hotel when a drunk driver went out of control and crashed into his car. He is alive but in critical condition sustaining injured to his ribs and legs."

I don't know how to feel this has all happened out of nowhere. And I know there's no warning for a thing like this but I could never imagine it could happen to him. To me.
The weirdest thing is that when I had passed out and had the pain he had crashed at the same time. I just kind of sensed it.

I got out of my bed which Emily and Hannah had brought me to when I passed out. My mom walked in and said, "Do you want to drive up there to visit him? I think you'll be excused from school since this is an emergency."
" Yeah, thanks mom." She smiled a worried smile and walked off. I grabbed some stuff so I could make the journey to Los Angeles which is where he is.

I text Emily and Hannah where I'm going so they don't get scared when I don't show up at school and so they know not to wait for me like they usually do.

I'm about three hours into the drive when I decide to go to a store and buy Hutcherson something. I walk in and buy a card, jolly ranchers (his favorite type of candy), and a bear. I pay for the stuff and get in the car to continue my drive.

Emily's POV

I couldn't believe what happened and obviously Anna couldn't either. Hannah is shaken up to because Hutcherson was our friend too. But I really feel like it's going to be okay. But I don't know if it's true because a feeling is just a feeling.

I walk into class and Hannah's sitting there and she looks like she's deeply thinking . The bell rings as I walk into the class. I sit down and class starts. I'm writing notes down when Hannah leans to me and asks, "Do you think he'll be okay?" I look at her and I think she knows what I'm thinking so she turns and goes back to writing notes.

We're in last block now and nothing has been normal. I'm wondering what's going on with Anna and if she's with Hutcherson yet. All I want is for things to be okay.

When school ends I go to my car and before I can get in it Jack comes up to me, "Emily don't worry I'm sure things will be okay. We just have to wait it out and soon things will be okay." He then kisses me and walks to his own car. I really hope he's right about this. But there's feelings contradicting inside me. I don't know what to think. I get in my car and sit for a little trying to clear my feelings up. Then I start to drive off feeling a little better.
