"For A Reason"
Chapter Two "Hearing the News"
Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald paced back and forth outside of Harmony High. Her best friend was supposed to pick her up after her yearbook meeting, but was nowhere to be seen.
"Fox Crane, where the hell are you," she said to herself. She took her cell phone out of her purse and dialed his number. After listening to it ring six times she hung up. She finally decided she'd had enough waiting and took off for the Book Café.
She walked slowly, enjoying the warm spring air. Although there were only two months of school left she was so busy with yearbook meetings and studying that she hardly had time to be outside. She was just starting to relax when she noticed a commotion a couple blocks ahead. Seeing the police cars and crowd of people got her attention and she ran towards them.
"Hey, what's going on?" she asked the first person she saw.
"There was a big accident. That red truck hit the silver car. They had to take the driver of the car to the hospital," the man replied.
"Oh wow. Do you know who it was?"
"Nope, I just got here a few minutes ago."
Theresa thanked the man for the information and made her way closer to the scene. She pushed her way through a couple of people and stared at the damage in front of her. She took in the accident, first looking at the truck. 'Not too much damage there, they got off lucky,' she thought. Then she looked at the car, it looked vaguely familiar but she couldn't place it. Then she saw the license plate, FOX C.
"Oh my God! Fox!" she screamed.
"Miss, are you okay?" the man standing next to her asked.
"That's my friends' car," she said. "I have to go." She took off running to the hospital dialing her home phone number as she did. "Mama, I'm going to the hospital, Fox was in an accident. I'll let you know when I find something out," she said to the answering machine. 'Please let him be okay.'
Please review. I would love to hear feedback.
