Chapter 2
Then the line went dead.
She tried to call him again for several times. She started crying and then…
"Hello?" the same strange voice answered.
"Who are you? Is Patrick okay?!" she asked between sobs.
"I don't know what happened, I was driving and he suddenly appeared from the other side of the road. I couldn't stop and then I hit his car. I'm really sorry, but there was nothing I could've done." said the man.
"Where are you? Have you called for an ambulance?" said Ellen looking for something to write on her desk.
He then gave her the address and she noted it down on a post-it. She changed her clothes, picked up a coat and then ran downstairs. Luckily, Chris was out with the girls so she had nothing to explain to anybody. She put on her shoes, picked up the car keys and drove immediately to the place where the accident has happened.
While she was driving her phone rang. She answered, thinking there might be news about Patrick.
"Hello?" she said with a worried tone.
"Hi, sweetheart, I just came home and you're not here. Why didn't you call me to tell me where are you going?"
It was Chris. She was disappointed and she didn't actually know what to tell him so she had to make up something really quick.
"Uhm, sorry, darling. I had a little emergency. I'll be back home soon." she finally said trying to keep a lovely happy voice.
"Okay, honey. Let me know when you finish! I love you!"
"I love you, too!" she said and then she hung up, letting a river of tears to stream down her face.
She drove for almost 15 minutes when she finally reached the place. It was getting dark outside so she pulled over and she run away from the car, heading towards Patrick's. She saw the man she talked on the phone to, and near him there was Patrick's car. It was a mess, but it was somehow still standing on its four wheels. The windscreen was all broken and there were shards everywhere. Also, the frontal part of the car was all messed up, which made Ellen freak out more than she already was.
"How is he? Is he conscious?" asked she, wiping her tears off her face.
"He is, but he can't move, he's trapped there."
"Oh, dear! Have you tried calling an ambulance again?" she asked trying to see into the car.
"Yes. They said they'll come as soon as possible!"
"Do you know if he's bleeding or if he has anything broken?" her tears continued to fall from her eyes.
"Uhm… no, not really. But he didn't complain about any pain, though…"
"Oh, God! Call them again. Tell them to rush, because we don't know for how long he's going to stay awake or how much time we have until he bleeds out or something!" and saying these she tried to open the car door, but she couldn't. All she could've done was to tap on the window
Hearing that sound Patrick turned around his head, as much as he could trying to reach the window's button so he could open it. He finally succeeded.
When he saw Ellen his eyes started to sparkle not knowing if it was a dream or not. He tried to say something but his mouth was dried so he just mumbled something.
"Do you need some water?" Ellen asked introducing her head through the window, trying to see if he was bleeding or anything worse.
Patrick nodded and she immediately ran to her car to bring him some water. She came back, gave him the water and then she started crying.
"Wha… what happened? Why… why are you crying?" Patrick asked more like a mumbling looking concerned at her. He put a hand over hers trying to comfort her.
"You! You happened to me! Do you even know how scared I was?!" she said squeezing his hand, but crying harder now.
She had barely finished what she said when she heard the ambulance coming. She had no sooner turned around, to see where it was, than she felt his hand letting go of hers.
"Patrick?"
He didn't answer.
"Patrick don't do that to me!" she yelled sobbing. "Don't go! Please! Don't leave me, again!"
I hope you liked it.
Also, I'm sorry if I'm writing about them "like they're preteens" or if I'm writing "garbage", but you know, you can't please everyone ;).
Just remember it's only fiction. Peace!
