After a while Mike and I waited. But Andy hadn't showed up. We waited for a good 20 minutes and that's when I knew something was up. I called his phone but there was no answer, it could've just been the fact that he was driving. But it didn't feel right."Mike....c'mon. We should start walking" I said, getting anxious. My whole body felt numb and my stomach erupted in butterflies while my head pounded. Mike walked in step next to me as we strode towards his house. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary so I walked him home."No. I should walk you home. An innocent girl shouldn't walk home alone" he told me as I turned towards his place."Nope. I'm not all innocent" I giggled nervously still with my mind wrapped up on Andy. He gave up and I walked him home. Then walked myself home.
But once I got there the truck was gone, and the old car had taken its spot on he driveway. I opened the front door and walked into the house. My whole body had this bad feeling about Andy. I don't know why, I could just be a worried mess, over nothing. So I slipped my shoes off. The house was dead silent sending shivers down my spine. I've always had Andy to walk in the house with me, and then sometimes Dad would be home. But today he was scheduled to a meeting in the middle of town. So it was just me. I called Andy again, and still no answer. I didn't stop until I got an answer. It was 15 after I got home, sitting on the stool at the breakfast bar just trying to get ahold of my brother. The more calls I loaded his phone with the more nervous I got. At this point I nearly threw up.
But finally I got an answer."Hello?" it was a masculine voice but it didn't sound like Andy.
"Andy?" I asked getting anxious to find out if it was my brother and if he was okay."No. No Sweetie I'm sorry this is officer Langdon. Andy...." he trailed off."Okay. I need you to stay calm and make your way to Lima National Hospital. I'm sorry to inform you this but Andy was in a car accident and is being taken to the hospital" everything else after that seemed to be silence. My eyes were blurred from the tears I refused to release. I dropped my phone down on the bar and collapsed on the floor.
I took a loud gasp as the tears spilled out, over my cheeks. I was sobbing on the ground for a little while before I shoved my face into my knees, muffling my cries. Everything seemed to go in slow motion and the room began to spin. No no no, this was not the time for a panic attack. I took a deep breath still crying. I lifted to my feet and grabbed the phone that laid on the counter. I hung up and shoved my shoes on and ran out the house with my phone at hand.
I ran and ran. I reached the school again. Until I completely collapsed on the ground. I was out of breath and still bawling my eyes out. I huffed and huffed, filling my lungs with what was suppose to be air, but ended up as a fire burning my lungs. I wiped my eyes and a car pulled over to where I was. I looked over and saw a familiar face. He was worried and he had oil smeared across his face."Autumn? Hey. Are you okay? I'm Kurt's Dad" he said yelling over to me. I couldn't help it but cry.
"Please Mr. Hummel..." I asked out of breath."Can you please drive me to Lima National Hospital? Please" I pleaded with all my heart, barley able to see Kurt's Dad through my glossy eyes. My feet and legs were throbbing and my head was spinning like I might pass out."Oh oh. Yeah of course. Get In. Is everything alright?" he asked in a rush, unlocking the door for me to get in. Even if I did end up in a ditch now, I didn't care. If I had the chance to get to the Hospital with Andy I was gonna take it. So getting in a car with a stranger was the least of my worries.
"I-" I broke off jumping in and closing the door as Mr. Hummel sped off."My brother got in an accident" my voice cracked as I shoved my face into the palms of my hands. Kurt's Dad must've just gotten off work, since he was still in his uniform and he had grease and oil on his face and hands. I sighed and wiped the tears away.
He said nothing as I silently cried as he drove me to the hospital. He didn't ask questions, and he didn't ask me to repay him. He drove me up to the front of the building and let me out."Thank you" my voice cracked once again as I raced out the car. He waited a little bit for me to get inside but I was too busy running through the front double doors to notice. I ran up to the counter, wiping away more tears."Where's Andrew Voss?" I nearly yelled at the lady dressed in blue at the front desk."Ma'am please calm down. Andrew Voss?" she asked looking back to her computer screen.
"Yes Ma'am" I sobbed mid-sentence and I stopped and wiped my eyes with more effort. "Okay ma'am. He's in room 21D, on the fourth floor. I'll send someone to escort you" I didn't wait for her to finish her sentence as I ran off down the hall and to the elevator. I could hear her yell at me and tell me not to run off without assistance but I didn't listen and I rapidly pressed the button to go up, as if it'd make a difference and make the elevator move faster.
Once the elevator doors opened no one was there and I harshly pressed the 4th floor. I bit my lip containing a sob. I quickly shut my eyes closed tightly as the remaining tears slipped down my face. I sniffled and wiped away the salty tears. I suddenly tasted metallic in my mouth, realizing I bit my lip so hard I caused it to bleed. I sighed and wiped my finger across it leaving a streak mark on my finger. I wiped the blood on my jeans just as the elevator doors opened and I ran out like I belonged in a mental asylum. I ran down the hall towards the door Andy was supposedly in and once I reached it I jammed the doors handle down with all my strength just for it to be locked. I jiggled the doorknob like it would make a difference. I cried again but only allowing one tear out. Just moments ago I was having a good time with my friends and now my best friend is in the hospital... because of me.
Suddenly just as I slowly backed away from the door, it burst open.
Short chapter, and cliffhanger. I'm sorry, I love y'all!
