21. Accident
Emmett's POV
My eyes fluttered open, and I looked to my alarm clock. It 4:30 in the morning. Ugh.
But I couldn't get back to sleep.
I wondered what everyone was doing downstairs. Jacob is probably asleep. Nessie might be asleep. Esme is probably reading, or writing in her note pad. Carlisle and Jaz are probably reading. Bella and Edward are probably at their piano or in their room. I cringed. And Rosie is probably filing her nails or something.
I pulled the covers off, and walked to the window. The sun hadn't even rose yet.
I sighed, and Georgia barked at me. I walked over t her, and picked her up.
She smelt like dirt. She'd probably been in the garden or something.
I decided to call Sarah. I didn't get too yesterday. Because of the time difference, she'd probably be awake.
I picked up my phone and dialled her number.
After 2 rings, she picked up. "Em!"
"Hey Sarah. How are you?"
"Good, good. Just driving to dinner actually."
"Oh ok. Where are you going?"
"The Bloated frog, in La Push."
I giggled at the name. "Cool. Well you have a good time. who are you going with?"
"My parents, and then we're meeting my Aunty and Uncle there."
I nodded, then realised, she couldn't see me nod.
"That's good. I've met your Aunty and Uncle right?"
"Yeah you met them last year. They really liked you. Hey when you come back—"
The line became fuzzy, then I heard a loud crashing noise, and car horns. What the hell?
Then the line cut off, with a annoying beeping sound.
"Sarah?"
The line continued to beep annoyingly.
"Rosie?" I half whispered, my voice breaking.
She was in my room in seconds, with her arm around me. "Yeah?"
"I was j-just talking to S-sarah and. . ."
"How is she?" she asked.
"I don't know because—"
Alice burst through the door her arms around me. "I'm so sorry Em!"
Right behind her, came Edward, with horror written all over his face.
"Huh?" I said confused. "I'm so scared. I was talking to Sarah, and then she cut out, and I heard banging and crashing and cars honking. . .and. . .and. . ."
I began to sob. Everyone was in the room in a second, with a mask of worry on their perfect faces.
"What has happened?" Carlisle asked, confused.
Alice spoke, because I couldn't. "Sarah, she's been in a horrible car crash."
Silence. My sobs broke it.
Rosalie's POV
I ran into Emmett's room ,when he croaked out my name.
I wrapped my arm around him. "Yeah?"
"I was j-just talking to S-Sarah and. . ."
"How is she?" I asked. Has she gotten over her depression yet?
"I don't know because—"
With that, Alice burst through the door, and hugged Emmett tight. He buried his head into her spiky hair. "I'm so sorry Em!"
Right behind her, came Edward, with horror written all over his face.
Emmett seemed really confused. "Huh?" he said. "I'm so scared. I was talking to Sarah, and then she cut out, and I heard banging and crashing and cars honking. . .and. . .and. . ."
He began to sob, leaving wet marks on Alice cardigan.
The rest of the family ran into the room. They all looked at me, then to Em, with worried looks. Edward stood motionless.
"What has happened?" Carlisle asked, looking at me and Emmett, confused.
We all waited for Emmett to respond, but it seemed like he couldn't stop crying.
I pressed my forehead to his awkwardly, as he sobbed, tears streaming down his face.
"Sarah, she's been in a horrible car crash." Alice said. Her eyes glazed over.
"The car, its wrapped around a tree. . .Twice." She whispered, to quietly for Em to understand.
I looked at everyone. They all seemed absolutely gobsmacked. Esme was dry sobbing into Carlisle's shoulder.
"Will she be ok?" I asked Alice. I knew everyone wanted to know the same question.
Alice shook her head, and looked down, at a still sobbing Emmett.
"Shhh. . ." I said, rubbing his back.
Edward and Bella sat down on the floor, around Emmett, Alice and me. Jasper walked to Alice, and rubbed Em's leg. Carlisle's pulled Esme down to the floor, and she lay her head on Carlisle's leg. This was hurting all of us, not just Em.
We had all grown close to Sarah over time. She came over all the time, we'd see her nearly every day.
"Are they going to be able to save her?" I mouthed to Alice. She shook her head again.
"There do CPR on her for over an hour. It doesn't help at all. She's lost too much blood." Alice whispered, quietly and fast.
Everyone sighed loudly.
One by one they came to hug Emmett. Some longer than other's, because I couldn't let go of him.
"What about the parents?" Carlisle asked.
Alice shook her head. "Their wounds are just as bad as Sarah's."
Emmett let out another sob, and everybody came and hugged him once more.
Emmett's POV
From the look of horror and sadness on everyone's faces, I knew she was dead.
I sobbed into Alice shoulder, for what had to be the 10th time today. It was now 6:30.
Everybody stayed with me, and mourned with me. I didn't want to be alone.
Rosie tried to calm me, but failed.
She cooed, and hushed, but there was no mending my broken heart.
I sobbed again.
I noticed Mom with Dad, crying too. Actually, she wasn't really crying, cause she had no tears.
I hugged Alice closer to me, and noticed she was hiding her face into my shoulder too.
Jasper stood in front of me, comforting both me and Alice.
Bella and Edward were sitting against the side of my bed. Every family member was no more then a meter away from me. Even Nessie and Jake.
I like this was my fault. If I'd just—
"Emmett, this is not you fault." Edward said sternly. "There was nothing you could do too save her."
I nodded, but didn't believe him.
"Believe." He said, forcing a smile.
They were the first word said for over an hour.
I twisted so I was lying down, and Rosie and Alice were on either side on me. Jasper sat stroking Alice's face, and rubbing my leg.
Rosie had her arm around my torso, and pulled me closer to her. I could feel her cold breath on my cheek.
"I'm so sorry." she whispered into my ear. Her breath tickled.
"Mmmm. . ."I murmured.
We all lay there for hours on end, forgetting that we were supposed to go to the old jail today.
I also hadn't eaten anything, this whole day, and its 1:05.
I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. I shut my mouth again.
"We'll have to go home early for the funerals I suppose." Alice whispered. She was facing me now, our faces inches apart. My back was still to Rosie, while she spooned me.
I totally forgot Georgia Rose was here till she whimpered, from the other side of the room.
Bella grabbed her, and placed her on her lap. Gerogia sat down, and lay her head on her paws, like she was mourning too.
Alice's cool breath washed over me , and I smelt chocolate.
Rosie's lips was too the back of my head, and she'd kiss me every now and then.
Esme stood up, and walked over to me. Carlisle followed closely behind her.
" This isn't your fault Honey." Esme murmured. "You couldn't of done anything to save her."
I opened my mouth, which was bone dry, and this time words came out. "What if, my call, was the thing that made her parents crash the car?"
Alice opened her eyes, and looked at me. The gold in her eyes was beautiful. "Don't you say that."
"She's right Sweetie. If you didn't call her, then fate would have found another way for her to pass away." Esme whispered.
I nodded, and sighed. "I'm really gonna miss her."
I turned around so I was on my back, and looking up at the ceiling. "She was my friend. A very good friend."
I noticed a stab of pain shoot across Rosie's face.
I turned back on to my side, and stroked her cheek. She smiled. "You'll always be number 1."
She nodded, and pulled her arm over me, then took my hand into hers. "We'll get through this."
"I know." I murmured.
I had cried to my eyes ran dry. I waited to start sobbing again, but nothing came out of my eyes.
"When's the funeral?" I asked, mainly to Alice.
"In a week. The funeral planners are already on it." she whispered.
"That was fast." I said.
She nodded.
I looked down at my pillow. It was soaking wet with tears. Yuck.
Edward laughed from a metre away.
"We should really be getting back to Forks." Carlisle murmured. "For the funeral."
"Yes." I whispered.
If I was upset now, what was I going to be like at the funeral? The flowers, the coffin. . .
I started to cry again.
Rosie and Alice hugged me, and everyone else walked over to me.
"The. . .small. . .coffin. . ." I cried.
"Shhh Baby. . ." Rosie cooed, and rubbed my back. She started to sing:
Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little Emmett in town.
Her beautiful bells voice soothed me, and within minutes, I was out like a light.
Who depressing was that eh? Sorry.
