Garnet stood there until the phone rang and she picked it up slowly. "Hello?" She asked and for a moment there was silence on the line.
"Is this Garnet Alexandros?" The person on the line asked.
"Y-Yes." She said wondering who the heck it was.
"This is the chief policeman of Cleyra where your Mother was doing a business trip I believe. I'm afraid to inform you that your mother has been in a car wreck. She is being transported to the hospital in Alexandria, which is in your city I believe. Am I correct?"
Garnet bit her lip to keep from crying out.
"Yes. I-It is. She answered.
"All right. I am sad to inform you that she may not make it." The man said coldly with no emotion at all. "We will call when she has been transported to the hospital. Good bye." He hung up leaving Garnet standing there holding the phone.
"If Mom dies then I'll be an orphan!" She said and then began to sob. She sank to the ground and lay there crying her heart out. The phone had not been put back in it's place and it dangled a few inches from the ground.
"Mom, do I have to?" Zidane whined loudly.
"Zidane it will only take a few minutes! Just give it to Garnet. I believe that Brahne will be back tonight and she'll want back the earrings that she lent me. I believe that she was going to wear them to a dance tonight and I don't have time to run over there because I have to go to work!"
Zidane sighed and nodded. "All right Mom."
Zidane parked the car and got out. He walked up to the sidewalk and rang the doorbell. "Why isn't anyone answering?" He muttered and decided to try the door. To his surprise it was unlocked.
"Garnet?" He called out but there was no answer. He went to the kitchen and gasped. "Garnet!" He put the box on the counter and ran to her side and was relieved to find that she was all right. Her wiped away a tear that was on her face and decided that she had cried to herself until she had fallen asleep. "What in the world is the matter?" He muttered.
Zidane noticed the phone and put it back on the hook. Suddenly Garnet's eyes fluttered opened and she looked at Zidane.
"What are you doing in my house?" She cried.
"I was returning something and found you on the floor. What in the world is the matter?"
Garnet bit her lip. "Mother is dying." She said and then stared down at the floor.
Zidane didn't know what to say so he just held her. Suddenly Zidane leaned in as if to kiss her. "Zidane." Garnet muttered and they were until a few inches away when, the phone rang but Garnet didn't get up to answer it. She sighed and both of them felt disappointed even though they told each other that they still hated each other.
The answering machine came on then and the following message was left:
"Hey Garnet it's Ruby! I just wanted to let you know that I got your message about Zidane. I can't believe it! I wonder who his real father is? Anyway call me back k? And I have some stuff to tell you about Blank and I. He is the sweetest guy in the world Garnet and I can't wait to tell you about it! Ok well bye!"
Ruby hung up and Garnet closed her eyes not wanting to see Zidane's face.
"What is she talking about Garnet?" Zidane asked pulling away from her, his face turning pale.
"It's nothing." Garnet answered slowly getting up.
"Yeah right." Zidane answered his face turning red. "Tell me! What does she mean that I'm adopted?"
Garnet sighed. "I was going to tell you another time. Go look on the desk in the living room."
Garnet watched Zidane walk away and sighed. "I do feel sorry for him." She muttered. It wasn't long before Zidane came back into the room his face a deathly pale as he held the adoption papers in his hands.
"G-Garnet, where did you get this?" He asked as he sat down on the couch.
"I found it last night." She answered as she stared down at the floor.
Zidane just put his head in his hands and then looked back up. "I believe that it's mistake. There's no way that I'm really adopted."
Garnet just glared at him. "Haven't you ever wondered why you don't look a thing like either of your parents?" She shot back at him.
They probably would have gotten in a fight if Hilda hadn't rushed into the room. "Zidane, what are you still doing here?" She asked, glancing at him and then turning to Garnet. "Darling, I skipped work today because I found out that your mother is now at the hospital!"
Garnet looked like she might faint for a moment and then the color returned to her face and she nodded. "All right. Can we go see her?"
Hilda nodded and Zidane whispered to Garnet, "You're wrong. I'll be asking my parents later. I am not adopted."
Garnet shook her head at him and sighed. "I suppose that you think those papers are fake." She walked away not even letting him answer.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the hospital and Garnet walked in, not sure if she wanted to see her mother. "Please don't die Mom." She muttered as she opened the door.
Well that's all for now! Please review everyone!
