Clinton's POV

I slightly sniff "You're joking.."
"Why should I?"
"Tell me the hospital's name"
"Good Samaritan Hospital"
"Why? It's so far away from here. I'll be there in 20."

"Hurry up" Mitchel says before I hang up the call quickly and rush to the hallway to put on my shoes.
"Where are you going?" I hear Jade's pitchy voice from behind. "I was preparing the din-"

"I'll be right back. Look after Noah. I don't know when I'll be back."
"Clinton can you tell me what's going on?!" She crosses her arms rising her eyebrows.
"Nothing. Jade. Nothing. No more questions" I interrupt her before she even starts talking. I leave her behind and slam the door, running towards the car.
I quickly start the engine and drive as fast as I can. Since the road was empty, it's not a big deal for me to push the gas pedal harder. I don't do it usually though. But I have to get there quickly. On the way to the hospital I try to avoid the questions in my mind. I exactly know it might lead to accidents if I thought about them. Yet I can't manage to get rid of the bloody questions somehow. That shit always happens.

Why did she do that?! What was her aim? Did she do it because of our break up? It honestly doesn't make that much sense to me. We broke up almost a month ago and I haven't heard anything from her since, except that she cried herself to sleep. At least that's what Franzi or Mitchel told me. So she's basically just like me. I do that shit very often. Yes, I couldn't get over our breakup either. I miss the love of my life more than anything in this fucked up world.

Anyways, I doubt this was the actual reason. But what made her think of overdosing? I don't understand this, man. Like every time I end up overthinking, but then I finally focus on the road and drive even faster, from now on I couldn't give a fuck about slowing down to not risk my life. I had to get to her fast and make sure she's fine. It's gonna hurt like hell to see her after a very long time, especially when she's at the hospital, her pure body and life fighting against death. The closer I get to the hospital, the faster my heart beats. It has two reasons: I am scared to see my little princess suffer as well as scared to meet her in general. How would she react if she saw me? I know I have a fucked up state of mind, but I just can't help it. It happens out of nothing.

Now that I just turned right into the next street I can see the big letters of the hospital: Good Samaritan Hospital. This is the place where I have to go. I park the car and slam the door after getting out of the car. Am I ready to see her? No. Do I want to see her? Hell yeah. Regardless of what I think of right now, I exactly knew I'd run to the hospital either way which I'm doing at this moment.

As soon as I enter the hospital, I run towards the reception to ask where Ellie is. "Hello miss, I need to see Ellie. Ellie Adams." I tell the young lady while I'm out of breath.
"She's at the emergency service."
"Thank you"

I turn around as I find the steps a few miles away from me. I do nothing but continue running and finally find Mitchel and Franzi in Mitchel's arms.
"Where is she" I ask them out of breath.
Franzi looks up at me with red eyes, seems like she cried a whole river.
"Clinton.. I'm so sorry.. I couldn't take care of her" her voice suddenly cracks and she starts tearing up.
