-Nika

She shifted her gaze to the setting sun as she took a break from yanking carrots out of the ground. She had been out in her hometown for about six days now and she tore through her parents fields of crops just to keep her mind off from that stupid fox.

Calling it a day she loaded her baskets full of carrots into her fathers spare truck. Hopping in and closing the door, she lit the engine and the rusty beast roared to life.

The farm of her parents was not far away and soon she rolled into the driveway. Sighing she left the bulky pickup and began unloading the carrots into the barn. 'Finally done', she thought in relief. Her fingers ached, her fur was dusty and full of dirt as were her clothes. Judy hurried into the house, knowing full well that if she was slow, she had to wait ages to get to take a shower.

'As much as I love my siblings, that part is a pain in the butt', chuckling she took fast strides, took a set of fresh clothes out of her closet and retreated into the, luckily, empty bathroom. Being fast in the shower usually, she decided to take a bit longer. Quickly undressing and stepping into the shower, she groaned blissfully as the water hit her fur.

While doing her routine, her mind drifted to the reason she is out here at her parents place. Nick. She left around two weeks ago after he insulted everything she achieved and worked for. Pullled all that through the dirt, reduced her to being just a bunny, a stupid little bunny.

She felt her rage boiling up inside her, felt the rush of her blood coursing rapidly in her system. turning the water off, she then slammed the shower door open, grabed her towel and stepped out of the cabin, into the cool air of the bathroom. Her rage built up the more she thought about her situation but before she could tear apart the bathrooms interior, she quickly dressed and dashed out of the house again, succesfully avoiding her large family.

Finally outside, she began her trek up to the hills she and Nick shared their first kiss. Memories passed her mind, happy ones, like the kiss. Or sad ones, like the time, nick told her about his father and how he left him and his mother. At that time he had abandoned his, 'don't let them see they got to you', creed and broke down, bawling his eyes out until he fell asleep in her arms.

The memories kept flooding her mind, numbing her. She felt dizzy, tears fell freely as she stood there, thinking about all the good time they had and how bad it ended. She had shouted at him, insult after insult and then, she just left him there, with wide eyes and mouth hanging open.

Hours passed and the darkness crept around her as she just stood there sobbing. Maybe nick was right, calling her a helpless bunny, she was. A vulnerable and weak little creature that needed to be protected from herself.

"No, I am not weak, I did what most bunnies never would, I became so much more…" she said quietly to herself. "And I did that by myself."

Finally her tears stopped and after a couple of minutes, she turned around and walked back home, tripping over a root or rock occasionally. After what seemed like ages she arrived home, no lights could be seen from the inside of the house. Stealhily, she crept into the house, trying not to wake any of her siblings or her parents. While passing the many rooms, to her own, she could hear a faint humming sound. It hummed in an regular pace. Hum, pause, hum.

It got louder, as she came closer to her room. It disappeared as she opened her door. She closed the door softly and flicked the lights on. She let out a sight as she felt the exhaustion sweep over her. Not even bothering to take off her clothes, she let herself fall on the bed. This past two weeks took a lot of energy from her.

Her phone went off suddenly. She took it from the nightstand, 'if its nick again, i'll throw that phone out of the window', but it wasn't nick, the number wasn't from any of her contacts. Deciding to wait until tomorrow to figure out who it was, she just cancelled the call and was about to put it away, as it went off again.

"Oh for god's sake" she groaned and cancelled it again but the phone just sprang to life again, humming eerily in her hand. Glaring at it she accepted the phone call, sat up and jumped off her bed.

"Hello this is Judy Hopps." She said Mustering up all her politeness to not snap at the animal on the other end.

"Good evening, Miss Hopps, this is Doctor Martin Rivers of St. Leon Hospital, Zootopian Rainforest district. Sorry for the late call but it's really urgent" the deep voice of a male came through the speakers. "Its alright doc, go on"

Judy heard mister Rivers take a deep breath before he spoke again, "well, miss hopps, a mister Nicholas Wilde was found in a river this morning, heavily injured. He is currently in Intensive care but we don't have much hope for him. We found a card in his wallet with instructions to call you if anything happens to him"

She heard him talk but stoped registering as she heard what happened. Ignoring the doctor asking if she's still there, her mind went a mile per second, why? What happened to him in the time she was away? Was she responsible?

"W-what h-appened?" Her voice broke as she fought back her tears. Sighing, the doctor answered calmly, "we don't know but judging from the injuries, he fell down from a pretty high place, he was either pushed or he attemted, uhm… suicide"

Judy felt her heart stop. Suicide? Nick? Her ever so smug and sly fox? she let Her phone slide out of her hand, shattering its display. Why? Why, would he do such a thing. Her breathing became erratic, the blood came rushing back, she needed to go back. Quickly grabbing her stuff and packing it into her suitcase, she wrote a note to her parents that she had to leave. Running silently through the house, she pushed open the front dor and rushed to her car.

Throwing her stuff into the back of her car, she hopped in, started the engine and sped off. 'Come on i need to get faster' she thought frantically, stomping down on the gas pedal. She arrived in zootopia an hour later. Feeling relived to finally be near the hospital. She had so much to say to the fox, her fox, how she was sorry, how much he meant to her and that she will never leave him alone again.

Oblivious to her surroundings, she never noticed the incoming car that crashed into hers.
