Alex's pov

I would be lying if I said I wasn't curious as to why I saw Mark and Lisa on the floor of the school hallway crying. I would lying if I said my stomach didn't drop when I saw Mark crying. I would be lying if I said I didn't care about him. I would be lying I said I was still fully in happy with John. I would be lying if I said I don't about Mark all the time he is always on my mind. I would be lying if I said i didn't like Mark.

Why do I do this? John was starting to act different, a lot different. He doesn't act like he used to. Before he would care less if I wanted to hang out with him he would always say 'I'm busy' or 'I have practice'. He has changed so much but I don't know if I truly like it.

Then the thought came to me we accept the love we think we deserve.(The Perks of being a Wallflower quote) I accepted him treating me like I'm nothing to him. I accepted that he doesn't treat me like I'm his girlfriend. I accepted all of that all the good and all the bad.

I was trapped in my own thoughts and there is no way for me to escape from them. All the bad things that has happened within the last year of John and I being together played through my brain. I was questioning everything. I also couldn't talk to anyone about it because I don't want them to know I'm feeling this way.

I wanted to run. I wanted to lose all the thoughts in my head. I wanted to cry but no tears could come out.

I unlocked the front door of my house and ran upstairs to change into my running clothes. I choose a light blue top and black shorts. I slipped on my shoes at the front door.

I don't really know where I was running but I didn't really care. I heard a car on the road, all I could feel was pain all over me and it was getting really hard to breath. All of a sudden everything went back and I couldn't feel anything.

Elizabeth's pov

I was at work going about things like I do everyday. We had a meeting at 4:30 for the new product ad. It was around 4 when my phone rang. I decided to ignore the call because I didn't know the number. The phone rang four more times until I decided to answer.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Hello are you Elizabeth Coal?" The man sounded worried.

"Yes this is she."

"Do you have a daughter named Alexia Elizabeth Coal?" Once I heard the man say Alexia instead of Alex my heart dropped, I felt something was wrong all day.

"Yes. Is she alright?"

"I'm sorry to inform you but Alexia has be hit by a drunk driver. She is currently being transported to a hospital."  I didn't care that an important meeting was in ten minutes, I didn't care I was crying. I promised to protect Alex and so far I have been doing a terrible job.

"Which hospital?" I cried into the phone while grabbing my keys.

"United Hospital."

"Ok thank you. I'll be there in ten minutes. Please keep her safe."

I hung up my phone and ran to my boss. I told him what had happened, I gave him my folder of information for the meeting. Without an answer from him I left.
