Elena's POV
I feel my phone vibrating in my back pocket before my ringtone starts blaring in the middle of class. Mr.Leroy gives me a stern expression. Kind of funny how every piece of drama occurs in his classes, oh well poor him.
"May I be excused to take the call?" I ask and he reluctantly gestures for me to step outside.
Fishing it out of my back pocket I see Diego's name as the caller ID. "H-hello?"
"Good afternoon, are you related to Mr.Matthews?" The unknown voice speaks causing me to furrow my eyebrows in turn.
"Uhm yes why? Who am I speaking to?" My shakey tone makes a comeback as dread rattles my bones.
"I'm John Staily, head EMT, Diego is being transported to the UCLA medical center." John replies and my heart stops, the world freezes as I feel myslef sinking lower and lower down a deep abyss. Diego's hurt...
"M-may I-I know why?" My hands shake on their own will and tears accumulate in my eyes.
"He has been involved in an accident, I'm sorry ma'am I've got to go." The caller hangs up and my mind is spinning. I think fast and quick, I need to be there to see that he's okay. God I can't lose him no no no. Running through the empty hallways I scan Stevens class, he's the only one I can surely turn to now.
Doing the logical thing, I wave like a crazed monkey until he gets my attention. My frantic hand gestures should be enough to tell him that it's urgent and I need him to step outside. Raising his hands for permission to leave, he remains seated, I guess the teacher kept him in.
I groan and turn around to see the nurses office empty...hmmm. I grab a white coat, some specs and clipboard before knocking on his classrooms door. "I'm sorry for disturbing but Steven here needs to meet me in my office right this moment."
The teacher gives me a questioning look before managing a nod. Was my act really believable? Awesome! Angelina Jolie watch out I'm getting a hang of this!
"Hey Elie nice going." He high fives me and I get rid off my nurse outfit. "What's up?"
I take a deep breath and hug him tightly, sobs filling the air and fresh tears travelling down his shirt. "I'll explain on the way." I walk outside to the parking lot and bang my head on the headboard once I'm in his car.
"Hey hey calm down, what's wrong?" Steven rubs circles into my back. He's like the big brother I never had, in a way.
"D-diego." I stammer and he raises his eyebrows. "UCLA medical center," I whimper a cry. "A-accident."
"Holy fuck." Steven runs his fingers through his hair before pulling out of the school parking lot quickly. "Hey listen to me," he rubs my shoulder with one arm. "He's going to be okay, he is okay."
"Promise?" I lean back into the seat trying to control myslef. Hope is what I need, be it false hope I don't care.
"I promise." Steven says whilst visibly tightening his hold on the steering wheel. I close my eyes but my mind won't shut down with all the endless possibilities. I can't lose him... you won't... what if I do? Then it's a whole new set of excruciating pain you'll have to endure.
~•~•~•~•~•~
"N-no no no no!" My sobs fill the hospital room as I stare into his pale face. Holding his cold hand, tears fall onto him, I've lost him, I've lost it. My whole world, the one who I was sure was going to be my forever, my happily ever after, now lay dead in front of me. "Diego don't leave me, you can't leave me! Please..."
