Ugly

Chapter Eleven

Gracie wakes up to the sound of a man's voice that's unrecognizable. She also doesn't recognize his face.

EMT: "She is opening her eyes! Ma'am, can you hear me?"

Gracie: "Y-yes. What happened?"

EMT: "You've been involved in a hit and run accident. Can you tell me your name?"

Gracie: "Gracie. Gracie Divine."

The EMT presses a button on his radio.

EMT: "Confirmed name. Name on the ID is correct."

Dispatch: "Calling listed emergency contact."

~~Phone Call~~

Olivia: "Hello?"

Dispatch: "Hello, is this Olivia Holland?"

Olivia: "It is how may I help you?"

Dispatch: "My name is Denise, with the Sheriff's department dispatch. Do you know a Gracie Divine? We have you listed as her emergency contact."

Olivia: "Yes. I know her what's going on?"

Dispatch: "She's been involved in a pretty serious motor vehicle accident. She is being transported to the hospital."

Olivia: "We will be right there."

~~End conversation~~

Olivia hangs up the phone and runs to MJ's office. MJ and Matthew were both there.

Matthew: "Olivia, everything ok?"

Olivia: "Gracie's been in an accident. We need to go."

MJ: "Dad, you drive. I need to call Justice."

~~Gracie~~

EMT: "You have been out for a while."

Gracie: "My head is hurting so bad."

EMT: "It's going to. You have a cut that's going to require some stitches. More than likely a concussion. Your left leg is pretty bad too. We will know more when we get you to the hospital. Any chance you could be pregnant?"

Gracie: "I don't know, to be honest."

It dawns on her.

Gracie: "I haven't had a period in almost two months."

EMT: "We will have to refrain from any pain management medication until we know for sure."

Gracie: "Can someone call Justice for me?"

EMT: "Who's Justice?"

Gracie: "Justice Badeaux. He's my boyfriend."

He radios dispatch.

EMT: "Hey, Denise, we need to get in touch with Justice Badeaux. Apparently, he's Ms. Divine's boyfriend."

Several minutes later.

Dispatch: "He's been notified by the emergency contact. They are meeting you guys at the hospital."

EMT: "Good deal."

Gracie: "You said, hit, and run?"

EMT: "Yes, ma'am. It seems like they hit you from behind really hard. Forcing you into a metal pole."
