Chapter 5: Accidents and Confusion

*Callista's P.O.V*

I pushed the doors of the dorm building open and headed off towards the park down the street. Shaking my head, I thought back to the image/ vision that had appeared in my head. Why did Fang look so happy when I told him? What was going on with me? Was I going insane. I shook my head again at how stupid and paranoid I was being.

I continued towards the park and didn't even look as I crossed the street. Halfway across I heard the ring of a car horn and the screeching of tires against the pavement. My head snapped up to see a bright green car speeding right at me. I was frozen in place out of fear and I could feel my blood run cold.

The driver of the car waved me out of the way with a terrified expression on their face. I was frozen and couldn't move. As the car neared, I heard someone scream my name, but I couldn't really pick out who it was.

Finally, the car was mere inches from me when a large body slammed into my mind and pushed me out of the way. I closed my eyes as a scream erupted from my mouth. My back hit the pavement with a painful blow and I stopped screaming by sucking in a sharp gasp. I heard the car screech past and drive away in the distance.

That's when I felt the weight of a body over mine and I looked into two dark obsidian eyes. I was frozen at how close we were then I was on my feet in the next minute. Fang grabbed my shoulders.

"Are you okay?! What were you thinking Cali?"

I just stood there. Feeling num and terrified as the whole scene replayed in my mind. Did I really stand in the middle of the street like that? I finally gained control of my body just as Fang crushed me to him in a bear hug. I felt him bury his face in my hair as he whispered reassuring words in my ear.

I just stood there not moving an inch. That's when I heard Beth yelling from the dorms. Something about the police and an ambulance was coming. Huh...wonder when all that happened. I saw a flash of red out of the corner of my eye before Fang was push away from me and I was surrounded by Beth's small arms.

She was blubbering and her makeup seemed to be running as she hugged me. I could feel wet tear drops fall on my shoulder where she laid her head and I sighed after coming out of the shock and hugged her back. That's when the sirens could be heard in the distance.

Beth pulled away to look at me and asked, "Are you okay? What happened! First, I see you run outside and the next thing I know you're almost hit by a car! WHAT THE HELL CALI!"

I flinched at her sharp tone and touched her cheek in a reassuring gesture before pulling away from her. The ambulance then pulled up and two EMTs came out of the truck and walked over to us.

One was a tall male with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes and pale skin. He gazed at the three of us and asked, "Who called us?"

Beth raised her hand and said, "I did."

The male EMT nodded and said, "My name is James Chatsworth and this is my partner, Monique Devon." He gestured to a mocha-skinned women next to him with black hair pulled up into a neat bun and had brown eyes. She waved and asked in a business-like voice, "Who needs assistance?"

Beth nodded towards me and said in a grumpy tone: "My friend, Callista, was almost hit by a car, but our friend Fang pushed her out of the way. I'm afraid she's in shock."

The EMTs, James and Monique, nodded and talked for a moment before going to work. James walked over to the truck and pulled out a box full of what looked to be anesthetics. While Monique grabbed my shoulders and steered me towards the curb of the road where she pushed me into a sitting position.

Then James came over and kneeled beside me as Monique moved to speak to Fang and Beth about what happened. James smiled at me and grabbed my arms feeling for any bruising or breakage. When he felt none he had me turn around to look at my back.

He sucked in a breath and said, "Looks like you have a few cuts and scrapes on your back and some bruising. Hold on while I get them cleaned before infection settles in."

With that he grabbed some peroxide and cotton and started dabbing the injuries. I gritted my teeth as the peroxide started to sting and bit my tongue from screaming in pain. Then I felt James wrap gauze around my waist to cover the cuts and to stop any continuous bleeding.

Then he packed everything up and stood up helping me in the process stand. Monique walked over followed by Beth and Fang and said, "Got all the information needed. How were the injuries?"

James nodded and spoke, "No breakage. Just a few cuts and bruising on her back. Other than that nothing severe."

Monique nodded and turned to me and my friends and said, "You are very lucky Cali. Luckily Fang got to you when he did."

She smiled over at Fang and said, "You were always a quick one, eh?"

Fang chuckled and nodded in response. "You aren't such a talker anymore are you?" Monique laughed and said, "I've cut back on a few words since we all went off on our own."

I saw a flash of pain and sadness on her face before her bubbly personality was back. I looked between her and Fang with a confused look. Fang seemed to notice and said, "Monique, James, and I know each other because we were really close friends before we all left for college. Also, Monique is my adoptive sister."

I nodded and Monique turned to me and smiled brightly, "I really go by Nudge because when I was younger I would not stop talking so it took someone to nudge me to get me to shut up. An I guess it just stuck with me ever since."

James and Fang chuckled and man-hugged each other before James spoke. "It's been what? Two years? How are you fairing?"

Fang shrugged and shook his head. James's smile faltered and then he looked at me with a sad smile. "I'm James as you now know, but like Nudge, I go by the nickname Iggy. Don't ask how I got it because I wouldn't be able to tell you."

I smirked and nodded in understanding then I raised my hand and said, "I'm Callista Silverstream, but I go by Cali. An this is my friend/roommate, Bethany Wakemen, but she goes by Beth." Iggy smiled at us and shook my hand and nodded in greeting.

I looked over at Beth who smiled at me. That's when Nudge's phone rang and she smiled apologetically and walked a few feet away to answer it. Iggy turned to Fang and said, "We should get together sometime and hang out like we used to."

Fang nodded and said, "You up for it Cali?" I laughed and nodded. That's when Nudge walked over.

She grabbed Iggy's hand and said, "Sorry guys, but we have to run. We just got another phone call about an accident that is and hour away. Iggy, they said we need to get down there to help fast."

Iggy nodded and waved to us as he and Nudge climbed into their truck and drove off. I turned to Beth and hugged her while she hugged me back. Then Fang cleared his throat and I rolled my eyes. I looked at him with a sincere look and hugged him.

At first I felt him freeze then he slowly relaxed. Wrapping his arms around me in the process. I buried my face in the crook between his shoulder and neck and sighed. He chuckled and I felt his chest rumble from the motion. Then I pulled away and saw Beth giving me a knowing look. I raised an eyebrow in question, but she waved it off.

Fang smirked and said, "Well, how about we all head back to the dorms. Max, do you want to come with me to a café down the street?"

I froze when I looked at him with confusion. Did he just call me Max? Who the heck was that?! I noticed his eyes widen when he thought over what he said and he slapped his forehead.

Looking at me, Beth said quietly, "I'm going to head back to our room. Mason's waiting for me. I'll talk to you later Max." With that she gave me a hug and waved to Fang before jogging away.

Fang was still staring at the ground when I glanced at him. I said the one thing on my mind, "Why did you just call me Max?"

Fang looked away and said something under his breath. Before I could ask him what it was he turned and looked me straight in the eye. He was still for a moment then said, "Nevermind, about the café thing. I got to go. Bye."

An with that he walked off leaving confused as hell…..
