Eleizabeth’s P.O.V

 

My head darted to the stairs; my heart was beating out of my chest. I think Sydney just fell down the stairs! I literally jumped off the couch and raced to the stairs as fast as I could on a wooden floor in socks. “SYDNEY!” I shook her shoulder violently, but she didn’t budge. As much as I didn’t want to leave her side I had to get up and call the ambulance. I got to my feet and rushed to the closest phone and dialled the number in. “HELLO!! Ambulance I need help please!!” I yelled into the phone. What? My friend just fell down the stairs I’m scared ok. “23 Sullivan Avenue, ok thank you.” I tried to drag Sydney to the couch, well I dragged her about three meters and then I tripped on my feet and fell on my back. It may not have hurt as much as Sydney’s fall, but it still was very painful.

I could hear the ambulance knocking on the door through the vibrations of the floor. I didn’t have the strength to speak up loud enough but I managed to get a word out. “Yes” I’m guessing they didn’t hear because they shouted ‘were coming in, get away from the door.’ One of the men kicked the door open and ran to us straight away. Before I knew it we were being rolled away into a truck.

Sydney’s P.O.V

I felt someone’s arms wrap around my body and pick me up. I was placed on a bed like platform. I could barely move so I closed my eyes and let the darkness creep up on me.

I awoke to the sound of someone singing quietly holding my hand in theirs. It was a male voice, I recognized it. It was my dear step-brother Luke. “Hey sweet pea, you’re up.” Sweet pea? Since when is my name sweet pea?

“Umm, hi.” Well what was I supposed to say I haven’t seen him in almost a year? “Why are you here, why am I here? Luke get me out of here!” Was I in a hospital? Oh No. My heart froze and I stared at the wall in front of me for what seemed like forever.

“Syd, what’s wrong? Syd talk to me!” He shook me and shook me, I glanced over at him.

“Get the nurse.” Luke ran out of the room in search for a nurse. What was I thinking about? Well those of you whose hearts froze also don’t need explaining so let me just say one word. Baby…

“Hello Miss Oswald, you called for me?” I need to get Luke out of here.

“Um yes I did, Luke can you leave so I can talk alone please?” He just nodded and walked out of the room closing the door. I looked at the nurse who looked concerned. “Can you get an ultrasound machine up please?” She gave me a dumb look. “Oh yeah um, I’m kind of pregnant…” She had an even dumber look on her face. What is she thinking that this is a joke um well NO!!

“And you are?” Huh?

“Sydney Oswald…” Is she dumb she said my name earlier gezz?

“No how old.” She said with a giggle.

“16, 17 in two weeks.” Yay 17 in two weeks, finally.

“Ok, just lay down there. How many weeks has it been?” Um I don’t know probably about three or four; I don’t keep count.
