RING*RING*

You may always know, that there's something wrong when your phone rings in the middle of the night. The silent feeling of dread washes over you as you slumber is interrupted. You don't want to answer it. Every little fear awakens inside of you suddenly, your chest clenches up so you can't breathe as your heart begins lose the beat.

i pick up the phone, praying its the wrong number, but still at the same time preparing to take action from the news, hearing to receive it.

Clemont: "Hello?"
My shaky hoarse voice came out in a gush of air, rubbing my sleepy dreaded eyes, listening to the unfamiliar voice on the phone line.

"Hello, is this the residence of Clemont citron?"

clemont: "Yes, may I ask who's calling?"

"This is the Vanville General Hospital. I have two injured patients in their early twenties, male and female by the names of Ash Ketchum and Serena Yvonne. Are you in any way related to them?"

Clemont: "Y-yes, I'm their best friend, what happened?" 
anxiously questioned shakily, my hands were quivering while holding on to the phone.

"They were both had a car accident involving a truck. We were told to call you first, we would like you to get down here immediately."

My heart nearly skipped a beat, I had to physically remind myself to breathe.

Ash. Serena. Car accident..

I suddenly felt sick to my stomach. "Oh God.."
I whispering to myself, forgetting I was still on the phone.

"Mr. Citron? Are you there?"
the person on the phone said. I manage to regain my composure to answer.

Clemont: "Yes, I'll be there right away. Thank you."

I slammed my phone down in one swift move before my emotions began to overtake me. Pulling away my trembling hand from the phone, I somehow managed myself, quickly getting dressed making my way down the stairs of my gym building to the parking lot.

Clemont:"Ash... sere.."
muttered as I opened my car door. "Please be all right," praying before closing the door shut and disappearing down the streets of Lumiose City to vanville town on the road.

I made my way through the swinging doors of the vanville Emergency Room. My gasp got caught in my lungs, gazing at the scenes around me. People bleeding to death being seated on the wheel chair, doctors rushed them to rooms, in hope of saving their lives. I could not bear to think that it could be Ash or Serena in one of those situations.

please arceus, dont let them be. i thought.

I walk through the corridors slightly on my trembling legs. I was about to approach the nurse behind the desk to ask about them and that was when I saw one person in the corridor, sitting on the bench holding his head on his hand fear overcome by relief as I hurried over to him.

Clemont: "Ash!"
I called out.

He looked up to see who was calling him and as I got to his side my relief was overcome by horror. he had several cuts and bruises on the face and tears were coming out from his eyes, staining it. I only had to look at his pained expression once before a devastating realization came over me. Serena. Oh no.

Ash: "C-Clemont."

His voice was scratchy from crying, as it came out in its desperate tone. then He stood up, I went for a comforting hug which he gratefully accepted. i broke the hug after a moment and looked into his red watery eyes.
