Feel free to leave a review!

Three ambulances ended up on scene and plenty of patrol cars, along with one fire truck. The car was totaled, and it was a miracle that they were able to get the blond girl out before it burst into flames. The unknown girl was taken to the nearest hospital, and with no identification on her, they didn't know who they should call. Her face and body were in pretty bad shape. Bruises covered her usually porcelain features. Both eyes were swollen shut and her nose was obviously broken. There were a few burns along her skin from when the airbag deployed. Naomi had a few broken ribs, and a broken ankle, but that wasn't anything compared to her back. To put it lightly, she was paralyzed from the waist down.

When Naomi hadn't gotten home that night Gina had called the local station to ask if anyone had seen her little girl. After the man on the phone did some digging, he was able to tell her that there had been an accident, but he couldn't be sure if it was her daughter or not. In her heart of hearts, she knew it was Naomi. Tears began to well in her eyes, and she had hung up and was racing out the door, racing toward the hospital.

Mrs. Campbell knew it was her daughter the moment she entered the room, though it wasn't because of her looks. Sure the blond locks helped, but it was also the neatly folded clothes beside the hospital bed along with her cell phone that must have been found in her pocket. The mother moved to hold her daughter's hand, and she couldn't stand the sight of her little girl with tubes and needles poking out of her. It was any mother's nightmare. She was reveling in her own nightmare when Naomi's phone buzzed. Gina picked up the phone and recognized the name on it. "This is Gina, Effy…" she couldn't even say anything more before she broke down into tears. She managed to tell the stoic, blue-eyed girl that Naomi was in the hospital, and that she couldn't talk right now.

Naomi was still unconscious and the doctors brought the blond mother outside of the room to speak with her. The doctor spoke in hushed tones, "Right now she's paralyzed from the waist down, Mrs. Campbell, but there is a chance she can heal and get back to normal. There's a lot of swelling, which is why we're keeping her knocked out. Her body has a lot of healing to do, and I can't help but wonder how she even made it out of that car with air still in her lungs and her heart still beating. We're doing all we can, but it may take a while before we can release her to go home."

Gina's body fell forward to embrace the female doctor as tears started to stain her cheeks. Her form was heaving lightly as she tried to bring in air to her burning lungs. She whispered, "My baby..." before the sentence simply stopped. After a few moments she was able to pull away to let her blue eyes meet with those of the doctor. "So… so there's a chance she'll walk again, doctor?"

"With hard work, dedication, and physical therapy, I have no doubt that Naomi will be able to walk again. She's a strong girl, Mrs. Campbell, I can tell that much already from the way her body is fighting to heal. As I said before, it was a miracle that she even made it."

The woman nodded her head a few times before thanking the doctor for all her help. She was slow to walk back into the room, trying to wipe her tears away and compose herself. Gina didn't want Naomi to hear her like this, she wanted her daughter to think… to know… that everything was going to be okay.

It had now been a week since the incident involving her twin and the strikingly beautiful blond. Emily still hadn't heard from her, not a call, not even a text. She had sent her fair share of calls and texts, but had never gotten a response from Naomi. Something just felt… wrong. She didn't think Naomi was the kind of girl who would just cut her off like that, but then again, how well did she really know the blond? Not well, she supposed.

"I don't know what to do." She breathed quietly into her phone.

"You know, Emily, maybe it's time to forget about her. The chances that she's gotten all your calls and just hadn't had time to reply are slim at best." The male voice spoke on the other end of the phone, "You could drop by and pay her a visit. I'd go with you if you want."

"That's the other thing, JJ; I don't know where she even lives! I gave her my address so she could come out here, you know, to ride, but there wasn't any need for me to get hers." The red head's voice sounded panicked and it was obviously thick with emotion.

"Well, you know where she goes to college, yeah?" He waited for a moment for a reply, and when there wasn't one he spoke again, "Yeah?"

The small reply slipped from Emily's lips, "Yes."

"Well then, it's settled. We'll go tomorrow morning bright and early. I won't take no for an answer, Emily, so don't even try it. If I have to come over and get you dressed and ready, then I will." He was being a little more forceful then he usually was, because he simply couldn't stand seeing his good friend in pain. Even as they grew up, he would have given her anything to see that sparkling smile. If he were a year or two older he would have felt like her big brother, but seeing as they were the same age, and the fact that Emily already had a twin, he just figured they were close friends. Always had been, and always would be.

The red head was nervous as she walked next to JJ towards the college. Her hands were rubbing together and her chocolate browns were looking in all directions to try to see Naomi. She couldn't seem to see her anywhere. "This was a bad idea, JJ. I don't know what classes she has… she could be anywhere." Her voice was surprisingly strong for someone who felt like she was going to heave up her breakfast.

"Well, we'll just have to ask around. If this girl is anything like you've described her to me, then a lot of people would know her. It just doesn't seem likely that no one would at least know of her." His voice was calm and down to earth as he spoke to his friend.

Emily recognized two girls that were standing together against a set of lockers and she walked shyly up to them. "Um… hey, I don't know if you remember me…"

"Wizzah, you're the girl that saved Nao when we went to see the horsies." The girl exclaimed.

The red head's lips softly curled into a slight smile. "Yeah, I'm Emily. I was wondering if you knew where I could find Naomi."

The sparkling blue-eyed girl looked over to the pair, but her face was unreadable. "She's not here." Was the simple reply.

Emily and JJ waited to see if she was going to elaborate, but after a few moments of silence, the guy's voice broke through it, "Any idea where we might be able to find her."

Pandora looked nervously from the two strangers back to Effy, "Well, I got to go to class… have a fab day." She skipped off in the opposite direction, leaving the mysterious girl with the two outsiders.

"She hasn't been here in a while." Her eyes looked up and down the red head's form before doing the exact same thing to the frizzy haired boy.

Emily was getting a little sick of the way this girl wasn't answering their questions. "So where is she then?" Her voice was tired and impatient.

A knowing smirk formed on the brunette's lips that almost looked like a half smile. "In the hospital, and that's all you're getting from me." With this said, she turned around toward her own class as the bell rang indicating the start of class.

Emily could feel her legs shaking. Of all the things she thought and worried about, the knowledge that Naomi was in the hospital had never even crossed her mind. She went to say something to her best friend before he interrupted her, "Let's get to the hospital, Ems, it's not too far away." With that being said he reached over to her and started to drag her in the right direction. Emily's feet moved, but her mind was blank, she was stunned, and she was scared.
