Chapter 2
Sydney Vaughn lay in her bed waiting to hear her daughter come in the door from the prom with Tucker.
Tucker was a nice boy, she knew his family and she knew that he treated Anastasia nicely.
She knew Anastasia was really excited and had really been looking forward to going tonight, and Sydney couldn't wait to hear everything.
She certainly wasn't expecting the phone call she was about to receive.
The phone rang and she rolled over and grabbed it.
"Anastasia, is that you?" she asked quickly.
"No, I'm sorry," came the reply. "Is Sydney Vaughn there?"
"This is her," she said, bolting up. "Can I help you?"
"Do you have a daughter named Anastasia?" he questioned.
"Yes I do," she told him. "Did something happen? Is she okay?"
"Mrs. Vaughn, I'm sorry, there was an accident," the man explained.
"Accident? What happened?" she screamed, "Tell me what happened to my daughter!"
"She and her boyfriend didn't stop at an intersection," he replied, "They were hit by an SUV going approximately 60 mph on the passenger side right where your daughter was sitting."
"What else do you know?" she asked hysterically, already springing up and getting dressed.
"She was airlifted along with her boyfriend from the scene and is at Angel of Mercy Hospital," he went on, "And that's all I know, they just asked me to inform you."
"Th-th-thank you," she told him, the tears cascading down her cheeks.
"Would you like me to call your ex-husband and tell him?" he asked.
"No that's okay," she replied. "I will." And then she hung up, throwing the phone across the room to collide with the wall and she fell sobbing onto her bed.
Then she remembered she had to call Michael. 'Come on Syd,' she told herself. 'This is no time to break down. Call Michael and get your ass to the hospital with your daughter.'
She picked the phone back up and dialed her ex-husband's number.
'Come on Michael,' she thought. 'Be home, please, please, please answer the phone.'"Hello?" came his sleep-filled voice.
"Michael?" she asked.
"Syd? Is that you?" he questioned. "Do you have any clue what time it is?"
Only one word came out: "Anastasia."
"What about Ana? She's off having fun with Tucker," and then he realized her voice was filled with tears. "Syd, why are you crying?"
"Accident," she replied.
"Syd, what are you trying to tell me?" he asked.
"Anastasia - she's been in a car accident," Sydney managed to choke out before she burst into tears.
"Oh s***, Syd," he mumbled as the tears began to escape his eyes too. "How bad is it?"
"I don't know, all I know is that she was airlifted from the scene and so was Tucker," she explained.
"Where is she?" he asked.
"Angel of Mercy," Sydney said.
"I'll be there in ten minutes to get you," he replied, "We'll go up together."
"But it takes a half hour to get here," she argued.
"I'll be there in TEN MINUTES," he told her, "My daughter's in the hospital, no one is stopping me."
She nodded, "I'll be ready."
"She'll be fine Syd," he replied, trying to convince himself too.
"I hope you're right," and she hung up to collect some of the things she would need.
