Chapter 9: The Accident
I found out that I was in the finals a week after I left. Everything was great in Montana. Carla and I where now best friends and school was over. Everyone was excited that I was in the finals. Then it happened one morning when I was finishing the touches on my outfit when I heard the phone ringing.
"Hello?" I asked smiling; I was probably Carla calling about going swimming at the YMCA because there was nothing else to do in this town during the summer.
"Hello is Izzy Masen there?" a voice on the other side spoke gravely.
"This is she." I spoke cautiously. What was wrong?
"I am sorry to inform you but on a ride with her parents Carla Teger's car was struck head on by a van that hopped the median. The driver had died of a stroke moments before. Both parents were killed on impact and Carla is in critical condition."
"Why are you calling me about this?"
"After her parents you were the first person on her list that we were to contact if something bad were to happen to her."
I was touched and sad at the same time. How could something like this happen to her? Then I remembered two very important things. "What hospital is she at?"
"The Saint Lawrence Medical…" he didn't get any more out. I was already running to the hospital. It looked like I was running full sprint to the hospital. Luckily it was only about half a mile away from my apartment. After coming through the door I placed my hands on my knees and looked winded. After a minute I jogged up to the counter.
"I'm here to see Carla Teger."
"Room 412"
"Thanks" I ran to the elevator. Stopping on her floor I ran in to the room she was in. I ran to the doctor asking, "How is she doing?"
"She is going to be fine. All she has is a concussion, some broke bones, and a punctured lung."
"What all is broken?"
"Collar bone, ankle, wrist, and a few ribs." He fingered off.
"Thank you so much. I am going to grab some water, because I ran here." I smiled and left, not showing the horror that was in me at what I was thinking about doing. I can't believe I was almost about to bite my best friend.
Sorry, this is just kind of a filler chapter. I just wanted to put this in there because it makes for sad talks later in the story.
