Friends & Paradise 2: Forever Doesn't Last Forever

Chapter 1: What Just Happened? (Amelia's POV)

We were just leaving the airport, and Nash pulled out her phone to call Jason. Danielle and I were chatting about how awesome Bahamas was, and how we didn't want to go home yet. Suddenly, my cellphone vibrated, notifying me of a new text message. I pulled it out and read it:

"Hey you! Remember me? Amy, I'll really miss you! Please remember, when you get home, to add me on Facebook and call me! I hope it'll be possible to see you again, because I can't imagine going on longer without seeing you. I love you. -Aaron."

I started to write my reply, when suddenly, there was a huge mob downstairs in the customs area. Natasha was animatedly talking on the phone with Jason, when she suddenly stopped. She kept her eyes on a man next to a woman carrying her baby in her arms. She even stopped speaking all together. A man dressed in a gray business suit carrying a leather carry-on, pushed through the crowd and made the line push forward. This movement made Natasha fall over the stairs and hit her head.

She was laying on the floor, seemingly unconscious, without moving a single muscle. Danielle, Amber and I ran to her side. I tried shaking her lightly.

"Nash? Can you hear me?" I cried while shaking her.

No answer.

"Natasha, please answer me!" I tried again.

No answer.

"Natasha! Please!"

Nothing.

"You two stay here, I'll go get an officer to call an ambulance." Amber said. She ran over to a security guard to ask him to get us an ambulance to take her away.

"Why do you think she fell?" Danielle asked me.

"No idea. I just saw her walking and then she stopped all together, and then somebody in the line pushed us and she fell. But I have no idea why she stopped." I said.

"Wasn't she talking on the phone earlier?"

"Yeah! Jason was on the phone with her."

I grabbed the iPhone that was laying beside Nash's unmoving body, and put the phone to my ear. Jason was worriedly speaking.

"...Please, Nash! I need you to answer me and tell me what's going on! I don't want to think the worse, but I don't know what else to think--"

"Jason! It's me, Amelia!" I said into the phone.

"Amelia! What happened to Natasha? Is she mad or sad or--?"

"No time to explain! We both have no idea what's going on with her! She fell from the stairs, because she stopped and got pushed by the line into the stairs. It's not that she's mad at you or anything."

"But, is she okay or--?"

"We have no idea. I promise to tell you once we find out what's wrong with her."

"Are you taking her to a hospital?"

"Yeah. Amber's getting an ambulance. We'll call you the moment we arrive and know what's going on with her."

"No, don't call me, I'll head over to Seattle right now! I'll call you when I'm going on the plane and when I get there."

"Okay, I guess we'll see you here."

"Oh, and Amelia?"

"Yeah?"

"Please take care of her. Do whatever you need to do to save her. Please." He sounded desperate. He really loves her.

"I will, I promise. She's my best friend." I said. We hung up the phone.

"What about her mom?" Danielle asked me.
