A/N: So I have been stuck with this recently and you may have noticed the chapters maybe sucking a bit. I needed a way to get Kim to forgive Rachel and also a way to bring Poppy, Rachel and Adam together as a unit...So in the past I've had good feedback for my writing when its about sad events, so I've got an idea but its quite tragic...I'm aware that some of you might not like it but I can't please everyone so let me know what you think...xxx
(Poppy's POV)
My phone rang and it flashed up Em, I answered it to be greeted by her chirpy voice.
"Hey Em what's up?" I greeted
I wasn't going to let the sadness cloud my voice, I wanted to tell her face to face. Where I could hold her while she cried...
"Hi Poppy, we're just setting off now so I'll be home soon" she said
"Okay I'll see you soon then sweetheart"
"Okay, Love you Popsicle" She giggled
"I love you too Emster, bye"
I hung up and shoved my phone in my pocket, leaning back in my seat. Rachel looked at me.
"Was that Emily?" She asked
"Yeah they're setting off now so she should be home soon" I smiled
I'd missed her so much, it was the longest we'd been apart with no contact at all. It was about a 20 minute journey back, so I went into the kitchen getting out Em's favourite mug and putting cocoa in it so it was ready to just add hot milk when she got in. 35 minutes later...Em still wasn't home, I stood in the window looking out for the car. I was trying to convince myself they were stuck in traffic or something...But, I don't know something just felt wrong. Em would have text me or something...Maybe her battery had died. When my phone rung again, I was so relieved to see Em flash up on the screen...But that relief was short lived.
"Em! Where are you? You should have been home ages ago?" I answered
"Hi its Poppy right? My name is Margaret" A woman answered
"Who are you? Why have you got my sister's phone? Why've you got Emily's phone?" I asked
"I found it on the side of the road, there's been an accident..."
"Where?"
"The traffic lights near Rochdale road" she replied
"Well is Emily alright?" I asked worried
"I don't know...We're waiting for an ambulance"
"Ambulance?"
I pressed 'End call' and the phone fell from my hand hitting the floor. Somehow just somehow I knew it was bad...Rachel looked at me, her face a mixture of worry and curiousity.
"What was that about?" Rachel asked
"Em...Em's hurt..." That was all I could manage
I ran for the door, flinging it open and sprinting out of it, Rochdale road wasn't far and I didn't have time to wait for the car to start. I had no shoes on and the tiny stones on the road dug in to the soles of my feet, but I didn't care. I needed to see she was okay...I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to Rochdale road, the sight was horrible...The little silver car was scrap metal, Ruby's mum had her head on the steering wheel. Ruby was okay and had managed to get out of the car...
But the windscreen was smashed, and someone was lying on the ground in front of the wreckage...Flat on her back I could barely make out her face from the blood. I ran over to her and took her hand. Tears spilled down my cheeks at the sight of her mangled body on the road.
"Em! Em, its okay! I'm here! Just open your eyes please? Scream at me? Tell me you hate me for eating the last of your cereal? Or borrowing that dress that I forgot to give back?...Please!" I cried
But she didn't react to me, I stroked her hair gently. Her skin was so pale and cold, she wasn't moving at all not even to breathe. It wasn't long before Rachel and Adam joined me. Rachel was about to ask what had happened until she saw the car and me crying over my injured sister...Rachel ran over and crouched down next to Em. It was like something you saw on TV not something that happened everyday to real people like me...
The worst thing was, the other car was a red fiesta, that had been adapted with spoilers and lights and that sort of stuff, the man driving it was sat on the road, his head cut but apart from that he was fine...He was dressed in a tracksuit and had one earring in and patterns shaved into his hair. He was a stupid kid! One of those boy racers and I'd bet my life that all this was his fault.
An ambulance soon arrived and soon after it a police car and another ambulance with Sam as well. I wasn't stupid I knew it was bad...The police made us go and talk to them but I suspected they just wanted us out of the way while they worked on Em. The Margaret woman who had phoned me, gave me Em's phone. The screen was smashed but I could still see her wallpaper...A picture of me with Em on my back.
I watched in horror as they tried to revive my baby sister on the roadside, I knew she was gone. A piece of me was missing. When Sam walked over to us, she confirmed it.
"Emily had been thrown from the car, she sustained serious head and spinal trama. I'm sorry there was nothing we could do" She said, sadness in her voice
"No!" Rachel cried out and Adam had to catch her and hold her before she fell.
"Would she...Would she have...been in pain?" I asked unable to contain the tears which flowed freely down my face
"No" Sam said quietly "It would have been instant"
I didn't know what to do...It didn't seem real. I kept expecting her to jump up and tell me it was all a massive prank and we'd laugh about it later...But she'd never laugh again.
A/N: Sorry it was so sad...Let me know what you thought? Xxx
