I woke Bella up for once. My mom is taking her to my other relatives that couldn't come down for my birthday. I got Bella to walk over to her closet and pick out an outfit. She chose a pink blouse with purple pants. She already has a sense of style. I put her little feet into the purple vans I bought her and sat her down on the bathroom counter. I was putting her hair in pigtails.
"Momma."
Oh my god.. Did she just say her first word?!
"Bella did you say something?"
"Momma"
"Oh my god!! Your first word."
I grabbed Bella and took her downstairs to my mom.
"Are you leaving right now?"
"Yes I am. I love you Ashley. I will see you soon.
"Love you too Mom."
I hugged her and kissed Bella's cheek.
"See you soon." My mom said as she walked out the door.
A few minutes later Justin walked in the door. He has his own key so he can come over anytime.
"Hey babe hurry up and get ready we have to leave."
"Leave? Where are we going?"
"Just get ready fast."
I ran upstairs and got ready really fast and ran back downstairs.
"Wow that was like five minutes."
"You said fast."
"Let's go."
We got into his car and took off. He drove till we got to this flower field. He walked me into the tall flowers and laid a blanket down on the grass and started setting up a picnic.
"What's this all about?"
"Well we have not gotten anytime alone together since Bella was born, and I just thought you would like to do something since we started actually dating a year ago."
"Its already been a year."
"Yupp it has." He started laughing.
We started eating and then I got a call from my dad.
Phone call:
Hello?
Ashley are you alright?!
Yes Dad I'm fine what's wrong?
Where are you?
With Justin, Dad your scaring me what happened.
You weren't in the car with your mom?
No Bella is.. Why? Are they alright?
Oh god.... Ashley your mom got in a car accident.
What?! Are Mom and Bella okay?!
The paramedics wouldn't tell me who but one person is in critical condition and one is hurt badly.
Oh my god which hospital are they at?
Curry Medical Hospital.
We will be over there right away.
Okay.
He hung up.
"What's going on?" Justin asked.
"My mom and Bella got in a car accident. One of them is in critical condition and one is hurt badly we don't know which is which."
"Oh god let's go."
We ran to the car and got in. Justin was driving really fast. We got to the hospital in about ten minutes. We ran in and saw my dad in the waiting room.
"Have you heard anything yet?" I askedy dad.
"No, no visitations yet."
"Oh god and they won't even tell you who is badly hurt and in cridical condition?"
"Not yet we were waiting for you so you could know too."
"So they will tell us now?"
"Yes."
We waited for someone to call our names.
"Ren and Ashley McClaren?" A nurse called.
We ran up.
"Your going to need to say goodbye to her now or else we feel you will never be able to."
"Who are we saying goodbye to?" My dad asked already crying.
"Bella Griffin is dying."
I started crying really hard and loud. Justin was crying too. Justing held me whispering in my ear.
"Its okay. It will all be okay."
I was crying so hard and so loud that people were looking. My dad had tears running down his face. The nurse led us to Bella. We gathered around her. I held her hand and started crying even harder. She had such a lifeless face. Her arm was so limp. I kissed her forehead and patted her head. I bent down to say something to her.
"Its okay baby you will make it. You have to keep trying. Don't give up Mommy and Daddy are here its okay."
Its not okay. Justin was crying even harder now. He started getting angry. He was throwing his hands up in the air screaming.
"No this can't fucking happen. Look at her she is dying, help her you bitches. Come on!" He hit the medical table with all the tools on it.
I came up and grabbed his arms. I was crying harder just after seeing his reaction.
"I know, I know. Its okay. Shhh." I was sitting him down on the floor as I was saying that.
He crunched up in a ball in the corner and cried. He cried harder than I have ever seen him cry before. I sat down next to him and wrapped my arms around him and cried with him. My dad was kissing Bella's hands.
I don't know if I will be able to live after this. Oh my god.
