My Little Nerd Chapter 11
Troy's POV
I knelt beside Gabby's seemingly lifeless form, holding her hand and letting silent tears roll down my face. I'd called the police while jogging over to where she'd landed, and the blonde girl was screaming bloody murder beside her car, attracting the attention of the neighbors in the general vicinity. I looked back to where she stood beside her car, some boy had come from a house nearby and she was clinging to him as if she'd just fallen into the icy waters after the Titanic.
"I can't do this!" The girl yelled before reaching over to her car handle.
Austin ran over to the girl, and grabbed her arm, "You can't leave, you hurt Gabby!" He yelled, before tears fell out of his eyes.
The girl turned, and looked sadly down at him. Then she turned back around, getting into the passengers seat, and the boy getting into the drivers, before the car jetted out of the neighborhood. The neighbors looked around, probably half-wondering what had happened in front of them, and half-in-shock. The police sirens began sounding just then, and they appeared from the opposite side of the neighborhood that the girl had just left through. An officer named Kirk came up to me, and pulled me aside while paramedics prepared to take Gabby to the hospital.
"Hello, I'm officer Kirk. Can you please tell me what happened here?" He asked, pulling out a tiny notebook, and a pencil from behind his ear.
"We were having a little argument, and she was backing away with my son in her arms, and then suddenly this a little red convertible came out and hit her, over there," I said pointing to where Gabby had been standing, "And made her fly over here."
"Alright, do you remember anything about the car that hit her besides the fact that it was red and a convertible, because there are quite a few of them in this city and even a couple in this very neighborhood." Kirk answered matter of factly.
I thought back to the image of Austin grabbing the blonde girl, and her turning around. Her eyes were filled with sadness, and the boy was already creeping around the side of the car. Then I looked around at the car, looking for any distinguishing marks or crashes. Then I noticed the license plate.
"N T D 2 3 5 4" I muttered, barely audible.
"Excuse?" The man asked, taking off his sunglasses to look me in the eyes.
"The license plate number was N T D 2 3 5 4" I said, grinning to myself, at finding this out.
"That would've been more helpful to say at the beginning." He answered, putting his glasses back on and looking annoyed.
"I just remembered…" I said while the man turned to leave.
"That's nice." He answered, just continuing to walk away.
I then turned away from the annoyed officer, and went to my little boy. He was looking after the ambulance that had just taken Gabby away. I looked down at him, and noticed that his cheeks were completely wet, and he wasn't even attempting to wipe the tears away.
"C'mon Austin, we'll go get uncle Chad and go to the hospital and see Gabby." I said, touching his shoulder.
"No, you got Gabby hurt!" He answered jerking away from me.
"Austin, I'm the only way you're getting to that hospital." I said sternly to let him know he wouldn't be able to ask the others to take him.
He sighed, "Fine."
We walked back to the house, which was only a few moments of walking, though the moments were awkward and extremely quiet. I left Austin outside in the cooling car as I went in to tell everyone that we were going to the hospital because Gabby was sent there. Everyone wanted more details, though I wouldn't give them any. I was out in less than a minute, and soon Austin and I were on our way to the hospital ten minutes away.
When we arrived, the two of us still hadn't talked. Austin ran into the hospital ahead of me, and I ran to catch up with him. When we got to the emergency room check in, the woman told us, Gabby had been moved to a downstairs room, because nothing had been wrong except a few cuts and scratches. When we finally got to Gabby's room, she was alert and awake, and Austin ran in hugging her.
"Uhm, Austin, can me and your dad have a moment alone?" Gabby asked when she saw me standing sheepishly in the doorway.
"Aw man." He answered before going into the hallway behind me.
"Look, Gabs, I know I'll never be the man that you need or loved but-"
"No, you look. Look at me! I'm in a freaking hospital because of you! And you still don't understand the fact that I love you, I want to be with you and Austin. He's a great kid." She said, throwing her hands up.
"Gabby, sometimes two hearts can't dance to the same beat." I said before walking out, and letting Austin hang out in her room.
A/N: bahaha, I was listening to winner at a losing game by rascal flatts when I wrote the last part, can anyone tell? Haha.
