The Accident


Beverly Hills

"Massie Block?" Ms. Burns called out Massie's name from the door of her English class. "Please come down to my office. Thank you." With that she walked out of the room and Massie had to run to catch up with her. Ms. Burns looked pretty upset. When she got to the office, her dad was sitting in a seat looking more upset then she had ever seen him. He was sitting in a comfortable looking chair in front of the principal's desk. On the side of the room there was a couch, where Claire and Jay and Judi Lyons were sitting. Judi was crying and Claire was comforting her, and trying to figure out what for.

"What's wrong Mom? Why are you crying?" She kept saying this over and over again, desperate for an answer. When Massie's dad realized that she had entered, he jumped up and gave her a long hug.

"What's up dad? What's wrong?" Massie asked. "Is everyone alright? Wait! Where's mom?" She suddenly realized that her mom wasn't in the room. When she heard that, Judi started bawling, even louder then a minute before. "Ohmygod dad what's going on?!" she screamed.

"Honey, take a seat." her dad said, guiding her to the other chair by the desk. When she was sitting, he started to explain. "Your mom was on her way out when she got hit by a truck. The car was totaled and she… she… she's dead." Claire started hysterically crying and her dad tried to comfort her. Massie sat there for a minute, completely speechless. This could NOT be happening! Then she screamed and blacked out.

When she woke up, Massie found that she was in her bed. She looked out the window and at the clock. It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon, on a bright, sunny day. Why wasn't she at school? And why was she sleeping? Then her memory came flooding back, and she remembered what had happened that day in school, in the principal's office. She screamed, and instantly her dad was at her side.

"Where's mom?!" she demanded. "I need mom!"

"Honey, calm down." he said cautiously. He didn't want her to pass out again. "She isn't with us anymore." As soon as he said it Massie started hysterically crying and screaming. Her dad held her close, until she calmed down a little. When she stopped screaming he asked her if she wanted anything to eat, and that Claire and Todd were down in the kitchen. Massie decided to go downstairs. She needed her friend. When she got down there, Todd instantly left. Her and Claire had some ice cream, but didn't talk. Inez wouldn't make eye contact and appeared only when needed. After the ice cream, Massie went back upstairs. She checked her phone and e-mail. She had around 50 texts and what seemed like a million e-mails. Everyone was wondering where she went, and what happened. There were rumors that she had been expelled or suspended. Some people heard that she had fainted, but no one knew why. There were a ton of stories, but no one knew what really happened. Massie didn't want to talk to anyone so she turned off her Mac and I-phone, and went to bed.

The wake took place the next day, Wednesday, and went until Friday. A lot of people that worked at the school showed up because of the annual fundraiser that took place every year at the Block estate. A lot of people showed up from school too, and of course the whole Pretty Committee was there, to help Massie through it. On Saturday night, after the actual funeral, William Block sat down to talk to Massie.

"How are you feeling, sweetie?" He asked.

"Like I was the one that was hit by a truck," Massie responded bitterly.

"I know it's been hard, but you're being very strong." He tried to make her feel a little better, even though it was useless. "Listen, I got a major job offer in Hollywood, and I have been talking to Claire's parents and we decided to move to Beverly Hills." He said.
