Justine P.O.V.

It was now dinner time and Elana still hasn’t come home. I was starting to get worried. I heard the doorbell so I go to the door. I thought it was Elana but it was Iris and Shannon. Iris’s eyes were red and she her chocolate brown skin was a little red. I let them in and closed the door. I led them to the living room so we could talk.

Justine: What happened?

Shannon: Well apparently Iris got a phone call from Elana and Iris became startled by Elana screaming and a crashing noise.

Justine: Crashing sound?

Iris: Yeah, it sounded like she was in a car.

Justine: Car? She can’t drive so she must be with someone.

Shannon: Diggy maybe?

Justine: Diggy’s car is in the garage.

Shannon: I don’t know but back to this crashing noise….

Justine: *phone rings* its Diggy maybe he knows where she at. *get’s on phone* hello?

Diggy: *sniffles* are you at the hospital right now?

Justine: What? Why?

Diggy: You don’t know what happened do you?

Justine: What happened?

Diggy: *confused* Is Elana there?

Justine: No I haven’t seen her all day since when she was saying she believed you or something like that.

Diggy: She believed me?

Justine: Yeah she came downstairs after I got home saying she believed you and she wanted you out of boarding school. I haven’t seen her since then because I took a shower.

Diggy: Oh…I have to go but turn on the news. I figured you should know at least….

Justine: Okay

After getting off the phone with Diggy, I turned on the news. They weren’t talking about anything but politics and the basketball game. Shannon looked at me questioned look. I turned back towards the TV. Diggy sounded as if he was crying but he could be sick. I was starting to give up but the news reporter caught my attention when he said something about a car accident that was headed to New Hampshire.

Diggy P.O.V

I was still in my bed, lost and confused. She believed me and I thought she never would. The fact that she risked her life for me was amazing and no one can top her for that. I finally drifted to sleep but I had a feeling Elana was perfectly fine.

Elana P.O.V

I woke up in a hospital. I looked down at my body, I wasn’t bruised or hurt. I was a little numb on the waist but that’s it. I sat up in the bed. I had no time to spare I needed to get to Diggy and I wasted time. I glanced at the window and saw it was night time. I got out of bed. My waist still felt numb and I couldn’t walk very well. I opened the door to the hall and looked out. No one was there. I hurriedly put on some clothes that were in my duffel bag. I’m surprised my stuff made it out alive. I put my hair in a bun and put on sunglasses. I rushed out of the hospital and out into the cold night air. I was in a small town. I looked around and saw a greyhound bus station. I quickly walked to the station. I pulled some money out of my wallet. I made it just in time because the next bus to New Hampshire was leaving now. I paid my ticket and limped to the bus. I walked on to see not to many people on there just a few men and some women. I sat way in the back as the bus drove down the highway. After awhile I started to realize I was on medication and I drifted to sleep. I soon was woken up by the sound of other buses and 5:00 am daylight. I got off the bus and started walking. I was using GPS on my phone to locate the boarding school. I came across it in 30 minutes. I walked to the big doors and opened them. I guess it was open-visiting at anytime of day. That’s pretty cool. I asked a security guard which room number was Diggy’s. After he told me I looked for dorm 534. My feet were squeaking against the freshly polished floors. I got to the door and knocked on it.  A boy appeared.

Boy: Can I help you?

Elana: Hi I’m Elana and I’m here to visit Diggy Simmons.

Boy: *eyes shoot open* you’re the girl who got in the car accident. Wow you came out like nothing happened to you.

Elana: Well I’m limping and I’m still on medication I think because I’m somewhat numb.

Boy: Wow *smiles* come in. I’m Shawn by the way.

Elana: Okay. Nice to meet you Shawn *comes in and Shawn puts her bags in the closet*

Shawn: Last room over there *points and smiles*

I walk to Diggy’s room and open it. He was sound asleep. I slowly closed the door and walked over to him. I pulled the cover back. I lay on top of him and kissed his cheeks.

Diggy: *moves slightly* Porscha stop…

Elana: *gets up* WHO THE HELL IS PORSCHA???!!!

Diggy: *opens eyes slightly* Elana?
