"Jackson, I have some really bad news. I don't know how to tell you this, so I might as well just say it. Mel was in a car accident tonight. She was hurt really bad, and the doctors aren't sure if she is going to make it.
"I know you haven't really talked to her in a long time, but I didn't know what to do. Her mom called me, and I didn't know who else to call. I don't want to go there alone." Nathan said in one breath.
"I'll be there as soon as I can. It doesn't matter that I haven't talked to her in five years, she is still my friend, and you need me, so I'm there."
"Thanks, Jackson. I knew I could count on you."
Jackson grabbed his coat and his phone. While he was on the way to the hospital, he called the one other person he still kept in contact with. Lex. He knew Lex would want to know what happened.
He told Lex all he knew, and rushed to the hospital.
Lex was Daley's step brother, so he let her know what happened, and Daley grabbed her keys, and they were off.
Lex also still kept in touch with Taylor. She was the girl of his dreams, and he knew even if he would never be with her, he could at least be friends with her,
Taylor still talked to Eric, and before Nathan knew what happened, everyone was in the waiting room at the hospital.
"What happened?" Taylor asked in a frantic voice.
Nathan looked at them with tears in his eyes, "I never expected you all to show up. How did you guys find out?" He said looking at Jackson.
"I just called Lex," Jackson said.
"I told Day, and then I called Taylor,"
"I called Eric,"
"I guess we all wanted to be here for Mel, just like we know she would have been for us," Lex said. Even though he was the youngest, he was wise beyond his years.
"I guess I should let you guys know what happened,"
