Today started like any other day, but it wouldn't end like that. It all really started after Grace finished school and made her way towards the ED. Walking down the road towards the hospital Grace jumps as her phone starts ringing in her pocket.
She answers without looking at the caller ID. "Hello?" she asks.
"Hey there firecracker, where are you? Normally you are here by now?" Jacob says in his usually happy voice. But this time concern grew inside.
"Don't worry Jacob I'm on the way now. School was just a little late out. I'm fine honestly." She replies. Little did she know that would be the last thing she would say to Jacob on the call.
Out of nowhere a car screeched its tyres and swerved onto the pavement right in the direction of Grace.
"Arghhhh" she screams as the car hits her full pelt in the abdomen causing her to fly over the car and land on the floor behind.
"Grace? Grace? GRACE!" Jacob calls repeatedly gaining the attention of the rest of the staff around him. Quickly he drops the phone and runs towards Connie's office and throws the doors open.
"Connie quick with me now!" Jacob says trying to catch his breath as he speaks.
"What? What's happened babe?" Connie asks calmly.
"I was on the phone to Grace and next thing a know i hear her scream and thud and then pure silence. She was on her way here so I'm off to check the route she normally walks. You coming or what?" he says panic now fully set into his voice.
With that Connie leaps from her table, grabs her phone and follows Jacob out of the door.
"Grace!" Connie calls as Jacob is ahead of here looking for any sign of her little girl. Next thing she knows Jacob falls to the floor and cries out her name. Running over as fast as she can she is greeted with the sight of Grace, unconcious and bleeding on the ground.
"Is she breathing? Jacob is she breathing?" Connie screams at him tears filling her eyes.
"No she's not." Jacob replies hands on her chest as he starts CPR.
