Running From the Boy Next Door

*Claire's POV* Trent

As the rest of my day went by I couldn't help but keep checking my phone to see if he had sent his address. Finally literally as the bell to leave rang, I got a text from him, "5423 Wooden Oak Dr. , sorry I don't text during school hours btw". Awe wow that's so cute and studious I love it, I can't wait to go to his house. I know I should probably head right over but I just want to freshen up a bit at home first.
When I get home Aiden's being yelled at in the front yard. All I can understand from the quick paced Spanish is "this time will be the last time". Thank you AP Spanish 4 for teaching me almost nothing. Neither of them seem to notice my presence, but they start to hug and walk back in the house so I'm guessing everything is all good now. When I walk into my house I don't smell any food cooking which is weird because my mom always has something cooking when I get home from school. Even if it's a half day, she loves to have her kids come home to the smell of her cooking. I walk into the kitchen calling for her and I don't see her anywhere. When I finally find her, she's sprawled across the bedroom floor. "Mom! MOM!" I scream as I run towards her. As I'm shaking her I see her eyes flutter open and she mutters "call 911". So that's exactly what I do.

When the ambulance arrives they ask me a bunch of questions I don't know the answer to. Finally they just take us to the hospital. When we get there my mom is rushed into a hospital room where a doctor determines she had a minor heart attack and fainted. They told me they wanted to keep her overnight but I could go home if I found a ride.

I called Trent and told him everything that happened. " oh my gosh I'll come pick you up right now" he said as I heard the jangle of keys in the background. It was midnight and he was going to come pick me up, this guy's amazing. I don't know how he did it but it only took him about 10 minutes to get to the hospital. He sent me a text asking if he should come in or if he should just wait, I told him I would be out in a minute. I kiss my mother goodbye as she sleeps and leave the hospital room.

When I get to the pick up/drop off area I see Trent's white Mercedes Benz parked waiting for me. I hop in and tell him how much I appreciate him doing all this. He simply waves it off and gives me a kiss on the cheek. "How're you doing with all of this?", he asks as he drives me home. "I'm alright now that I know she's gonna be alright" I tell him.
