Hailey's POV

I woke up feeling uncomfortable. I remember falling asleep at around 11. in the morning. I checked the time time it was 3 in the afternoon. Am I in a dream?? How can the house be this silent at this time of the day? My brother should have already been here jumping on the bed or maybe annoying me. But everything was strangely quiet. I couldn't even here my mom walking around or any movement at all. This was more like a nightmare.

I quickly got up from bed and started searching for atleast one human being. No one. That's when my good for nothing cousin Zach walked in. His family were close friends of ours. His father Lucius was an important part of my father's company. But I didn't like him. I felt a little too uncomfortable around him and his son. I was in 11th and my cousin in 12th. He never took his academics seriously and his parents didn't care either.
" How may I help you?" I asked
He just came and put one arm around my shoulder and then whispered in my ear..
" Your whole family is in the hospital, come with me or the doctors will not be able to save them."
I was terrified, I was deciding what karate move would be the best in this situation.
Suddenly he burst out laughing." The look on your face was worth a billion" he said.
" Do you even know how many zeros there are in a billion?" I questioned.. back. I was not expecting him to answer, so I went into the kitchen, to drink some orange juice. After hearing his answer I nearly choked on the juice."Six maybe.." He had said. This time it was my turn to laugh." I..it's.. 9 ...gen...genius" I told him in between my laughs. He just ignored me. So I asked him again, " How may I help you?"
"A part of what I said was true.. Your entire family is in the hospital, and haven't even noticed that you are not there.. I just came to pick you up, I am so nice ain't I?"
"Why what happened?" Now I was getting worried. If my parents forgot about me then it surely must have been something serious.
"You can find out yourself." Ughh why does everything have to be so complicated. I followed him to his car and sat with him in the back. When we reached he took me to where my parents were.
He told me that they were in the waiting room. As i was approaching I could see my mom was crying silently. My father was comforting her. Uncle Lucius was talking about something to a doctor but I don't think anyone except me noticed that. Oh my god what could have happened? Wait who was missing ? Hayden!!!
I immediately ran towards my mom. When she saw me she broke down. She kept murmuring something which I couldn't quite catch."What happened?" I looked from my mother to my father and then back to my mother. No one was answering me. "Can someone just spill the beans?"
" Your brother met with an accident....
The doctors are saying there are very few chances of his survival.." My father said without looking into my eyes.

This is all my fault. I was the one who always secretly wished for being the only child. But I didn't mean it that way. I loved him anyways. His pranks were the only entertaining things in my life. I didn't realise when my mom came and hugged me. She was wiping my tears. Only then I realised I had been crying. But I couldn't give up hope. The doctor said there were less chances, they didn't say we had no chances at all.

Unknown POV

I was going to one of the hotels where my father used to work. My mom had asked me to give him the lunch that she had cooked. On my way to my father's workplace, humming a tune to myself, I heard a very ear piercing sound. I turned to see that a lorry had crashed into a car. But there was something very strange... Around it were people trying to help in someway. No that was not strange.  Most of them belonged to my father's workplace I knew because they were all in uniform. That's when the police and the ambulance arrived. One of the people from the crowd went and talked to the main police officer. In the meantime the ambulance and the crew did their work. The strange part was sometime after the police and ambulance left another van arrived and all the people who I knew climbed into it. I prayed for whoever was involved in the car crash and resumed my journey.
There were many huge televisions in my father's work place..
One was playing the news channel. It said that the rich boy who died was Hayden Woods.. And his family could not see his face, after the accident. I found it very strange. Probably they recognized him because he was in the car.. Who knows? Anyway this is none of my business. That's when I got a glimpse of something, it said that it was the photo of Hayden. That's when my brain went numb....
He looked frighteningly familiar..
He looked like...... After that I decided that I needed to get to the bottom of this.
