Hoping for a Miracle

Matt grabbed my hand and intertwined his fingers with mine as the police escorted me out of the restaurant. Matt left money for the bill, don't worry! When we got in the car, I started balling into Matt's chest. My hand gripped his shirt and the other one was over my mouth. Matt rested his chin on my head and pulled me onto his lap. He started rubbing my back and whispering that everything was going to be fine. 

The police opened the door and Matt and I walked out. When we got into the hospital and past the check  in I ran to my parents room.  I couldn't tell who was who. They were in such bad condition. I started walking backwards until I hit a wall. I sunk to the ground and pulled my knees into my chest. I started crying more and more until I felt like I couldn't cry a single drop more. 

"Samantha Thornes?"

"Y-Yes."

"I am hear to talk to you about your parents. They were in a car crash on the highway. A drunk man was driving a U-Haul truck and swerved into the other lane. They crashed and sent your parents car flying. It hit a tree and caught on fire."

"H-How do you kn-now this?" 

"Well, the man who crashed into them, is in perfect condition pretty much."

"How are my parents going to do."

"I'm sorry to be the one telling you this," the doctor said," but your parents are officially brain dead."

I closed my eyes. When I thought I couldn't cry anymore, I cried the hardest I have ever cried.

"GET MATTHEW ESPINOSA!" I yelled at the doctor. A few minutes later I heard footsteps running and then arms around me. He pulled me into his lap and kissed my head. I rested my forehead on his shoulder and balled.

"How am I going to tell Jamie and Connor?"

"Shhhh, they already know." 

I pulled my head off his shoulder and looked at him. 

"Thank you for being here."

"I would do anything for you." He looked at me with his light brown eyes and kissed me. I didn't think I had feelings for him, that we were strictly best friends but suddenly I felt light and full of emotions. I kissed him back, hard.

"Sam, I have always had feelings for you." I kissed him after he said that.

"Can I stay at your place tonight?"

"Yes, of course."

The next morning, I woke up with my head on Matt's chest. I wrote him a note that said I was leaving and later I would drive over and bring him to his car. I wanted to go home and check on Jamie and Connor.

I hopped in my car and drove home to find my Aunt's car there. I walked into the house and saw Jamie crying, holding a teddy bear. I ran over and scooped her up in my arms. 

"Mom-my and D-Daddy are g-gone!" She wailed.

"I know Jamie, I know."

"Auntie Casey is going to take us with her."

I looked at Aunt Casey and she nodded. I set Jamie down and ran to my room. I pulled my new computer out and skyped Matt.

"MATT!"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm moving, to Quebec!" I started crying.

"When?"

I took a long time to answer but I dreaded the thought.

"2 days."
