It's been a few days. Elijah's gone. He left to check on his mother, and also because he hadn't been home in days. So I sat here, I sat here alone. Looking down at my phone, i tapped on my contact list, and pressed on elijah. I sat there debating on if I should call him. I pressed the call icon and slowly put the phone up to my ear. *rings* *rings* , i sigh when the voicemail comes through the phone. im sorry but at this moment 676-555-9013 is not available please leave a message after the tone. I sighed and laid my phone on my dresser, and made my way downstairs. I opened my refrigerator, & grabbed some cheese & grapes to eat. But then I hear my phone ringing upstairs it's Elijah i thought to myself. I ran upstairs to my phone, but it wasn't Elijah calling me it was an unknown number. I grabbed my phone and clicked to answer the call. "uh hello?" i said into the phone. "hello is this Rose? mrs. lovely's daughter?" the mysterious man said. "Yes I'm her daughter, is everything okay?" i said starting to get worried "unfortunately both of your parents have been in an accident" he said in a tone of pity. I let go of my phone it felt like everything had went slow motion, hearing it hit the ground seconds later, I felt like i had lost all breath, the pain in my chest so strong. Tears began to run down my face one after another. I ran to my closet slipped on some clothes, grabbed my phone and keys and ran out the house, leaving the cheese and grapes on the counter. I hopped in my car and sped to the hospital, praying harder than ever that they were okay. I'm driving 70 mph on a 45 mph street, swerving through cars, with just tears running down my face. My phone starts ringing i look down at it and it's Elijah. I pick up "hello" I said completely sobbing "ROSE WHATS WRONG" elijah said yelling through the phone. "hospital.. HOSPITAL" i sobbed. "IM ON MY WAY" Elijah said then hung up immediately.
I pulled up to the hospital. Ran as fast as i could to the entrance then to the front desk. "Uh how can i help yo-" i cut her off "UH UH MRS LOVELY, CAR ACCIDENT UM HUSBAND, WIFE" i said anything that would trigger their mind to what i was talking about. Then I heard my name being yelled " ROSE! ROSE!!! " i turn around to see elijah running in the hospital and straight to me. I turn back around to the lady "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING GIVE ME THE ROOM NUMBER" i screamed at her. "uh ma'am we're going to need you to calm down, or we can't let you back there" the nurse said with a attitude. I reached over the counter and grabbed her by her collar and yanked her out of her chair "DONT TELL ME TO CALM DOWN WHEN MY MOM AND DAD ARE BACK THERE FIGHTING FOR THEIR FUCKING LIVES" I yelled at her, then felt elijah put his hand on my shoulder "rose calm down" he said. I turned to him "Stop telling me to calm down!" i said and pushed him off of me causing him to fall to the ground. "ROSE" elijah said looking at me with disbelief and shock in his eyes. "give me that fucking room number" i said staring the nurse directly in her eyes. "409 , second level" she said nervously, and with that i ran through the halls to the elevator leaving elijah on the floor, and the nurse with a now stretched shirt.
