*Landon's pov*
Ring Ring Ring!
( Phone Call)
Landon- Hello
??- Hi yes is this Landon Mcbroom?
Landon- Yes this he.
??- Hi my name is Dr.Marcus Star. I'm sorry to inform you that your brother his girlfriend has passed away due to car crash. But we do have your niece Elle Lively Mcbroom here.
My heart stopped as soon as I heard those words. Austin and Catherine had been there my whole life.
Shyla: Babe are you okay??
She could tell that something was not ok and she took the phone from me.
Shyla- Hello??
Dr. Star- Hi, is Landon Mcbroom there??
Shyla- Yes. Is everything okay??
Dr. Star- I need him to come to the hospital and talk to me.
Shyla- We are on our way.
( Phone Call Ends)
* Shyla's pov*
I looked at Landon and told him we are going to the hospital. I drove because he was a wreck and I was scared. When we got there, I told Landon to go sit down. I went to the front desk to ask to see Dr. Star.
Shyla: Hi we are here to see Dr. Star.
Lady: What is your name??
Shyla: It should be under Landon Mcbroom.
Lady: Paging Dr. Star, paging Dr. Star.
I saw this man walking out with this little girl in a wheelchair. She had a cast on her left leg. I recognized her.
Shyla: Oh my god Elle! What happened baby?
Elle: Aunt Shyla I want to go home.
Shyla: Ok baby. Dr. Star what happened??
Dr. Star: I'm sorry but her parents where in a car accident and passed.
Shyla: Oh my god.
I couldn't believe it. I was more upset about Elle and Landon. Elle lost her parents at a young age. And Landon was really close to Austin.
Dr. Star: I need Landon to sign these papers.
I looked over at Landon and he came over and signed the papers. And started rolling Elle to the car and picked her up and put her in the car. The drive home was silent the whole time. When we got home I took the wheelchair out of the car and Landon sat Elle in the wheelchair.
Landon: Hey Shyla, I'm going for a drive I will be back later.
Shyla: Please be careful Landon, please.
Landon nodded and kissed me and drove off.
Shyla: Elle are you hungry??
She nodded no.
Elle: No I'm just sleepy.
I rolled her to my room and I put her in the bed and I got in the bed with her and cuddled with her. She began to cry in my arms. I started to hum a lullaby that I remember Catherine doing when Elle was a baby. Her breathing began to even and she fell asleep and so did I.
