Spirited Away To You

Chapter-51

Song attached^

The road seemed to stretch into miles as Uncle drove down the street. My head rested against the head rest of the passenger seat as I watched the scenery blur into new ones.

Yesterday was hectic. After seeing the video and reports, I couldn't just wait there. I had to go to William.

While it was true that I probably was crazy to not ponder over my parents but William also needed to know the truth. He couldn't leave.

Our flight was delayed by three hours so we were already on the road with a rented car. Uncle had been nice the whole time and didn't question me once about my need to return so quickly. Or so I thought.

"So Abby, I helped you so much with knowing everything. I know you are hurting for some reason. At least I deserve to know your reason," Uncle said as he stirred the car down the abbey.

"It's not simple, let me put it that way," I sighed.

"I'm listening," he said.

"Xander, the other who person in the car crash, well I started seeing him, no his spirit," I said knitting my eyebrows to think the right way to put it, "And he admitted that he killed my parents and I-"

"Wait you're saying you saw a spirit who told you he killed your parents? I thought the other guy was not dead."

"He's not, it's just he says to be spirited away from his body and-" I said irritated, knowing Uncle didn't give a damn.

"Ok, I get it, it's not that simple," he said chuckling at the end.

I huffed, thinking how Uncle thought I was talking ludicrous gibberish. Then again, I would also find this story absurd.

It was eight in the morning and we had reached the main street for there was little to no traffic.

"Please, pull up before the cross road, I-I have to go somewh-"

"You're going nowhere," Uncle warned.

"That's the last stop Uncle," I sighed.

"No."

I sat back knowing he wouldn't stop. So when the red signal came and all the cars stopped, I took my chance, unbuckling my seatbelt and rushing out of the car.

"Abby!" Uncle called out for me but I was long gone and mingled with the morning rush.

I walked down the sidewalk and scurried through the crowd before reaching the house.

It seemed awfully quiet, and no one seemed to be around. I spotted one gardener who was walking frantically grumbling something under his breath.

"Excuse me, sir but is anyone home?" I asked.

The man looked at me through his teary eyes before he spoke, "No, they're not. They-they went to the hospital-"

I paused thinking if Britney was okay.

"- with sir Xander," he concluded.

No way.

"Which hospital did they go?" I asked taking out my phone to call Britney.

"To the Cedars Sinai, they just left now," he informed.

They just left, it means I could catch up and tell William everything.

Britney wouldn't pick up my calls, so I had no other way but to hail a taxi but I didn't have any cash on me-

"Get in the car, young lady," Uncle said with a scorn.
