"Where are you?" I asked Charlie immediately as I got up from the table. "St. Agnes General. I'm sorry Zoe. I'm really sorry." Charlie answered as he sobbed in the other line. "Stop crying, Charlie. Pull yourself together. Stay with Zab and listen to her doctor, okay? Wait for me there." I said to him, I heard him mumble a yes and then I ended the call with tears forming in my eyes. "What is it, love?" Gavin asked as he held my arm, stopping me from leaving the table. "Zab's in the hospital. She's been in an accident." I answered him before turning to the startled couple in front of us. "I'm really sorry about this, but I really need to o." "We're coming with you." Ruby said standing up from her seat and grabbing her bag. "What are you boys waiting for? Let's go." She said snapping the two out of their shock. All four of us then hurried out of the apartment and into our cars and before I knew it we were already speeding off to the hospital that Charlie said. "Why won't they pick
I felt something moving as my head rested on Zab's bed while I was sleeping. I instinctively opened my eyes and saw that Zab was looking at me with a big smile on her face. She's finally awake."Oh my gosh! How are you feeling? Does something hurt? I'll call the nurse." I said to her rapidly and before I could even stand up from my seat she immediately pulled me back down."I'm fine, Zoe. Aside from being sore, I feel okay." She said to me but I took her hand off my arm."Let's just be sure, okay." I said to her before standing up again and walking out the door to the nurse's station."The patient in Room 419 is awake." I said to them and I was immediately followed back by on nurse.When we got back to the room, Ruby was also already awake. The nurse immediately took Zab's vitals and then Ruby's and informed them that they both were doing fine."Ms. Ruby, you just need a bit more rest to replenish the blood you donated and you would be good as new. For you Ms. Zab, it would take at le
"Good news first." I answered them, as I finally had my voice back after the chaotic encounter with the Landers. "We have found the person who rammed their car through Zab's car." Officer Philips answered me and all of our focus turned to him. "So what's the bad news?" Zab asked him. "We still haven't arrested her." Officer Richards said that confused us a bit. "What do you mean you haven't arrested her?" Charlie asked and it felt like he was about to pounce on the officers any moment. "As of now, all we know is that the driver of the car is female." Officer Philips began. "We tracked the car using the plate number that was captured by the CCTV at the intersection and it lead us to a car rental company." "We check it ourselves and the car was rented under Karen Hicks. She even showed an ID and the receptionist jotted down the ID number but it was fake." Officer Richards explained. "The car also returned with no damage at all. The suspect had gotten the car fixed before returning
I'm still getting over everything that happened yesterday. Ruby has been discharged early this morning, she and Grayson left together. He said that he will be taking her home and taking care of her there. Zab was still sleeping so soundly when the door opened. "I brought breakfast." Charlie said coming into the room with a bag in his hand. "You're a life saver bro. I'm really hungry." Gavin suddenly said bolting towards Charlie and as he did Zab began stirring in her bed but he was still asleep. "How is she?" Charlie asked me as he took the seat on the other side of Zab's bed. "She's been asleep the whole night," I said to him as I stood up and joined my boyfriend on the table that who is now devouring a piece of pancake. He then cut a piece of the pancake then put it in front of my mouth, I took the pancake with my mouth and just sat there with him as he ate and feed me alternately. The four of us stayed there in the room, chatting away and catching up to each other. We were la
"Is everything ready?" My mom asked as our housekeepers ran around the house making sure that everything is in order for our family dinner with Grayson and Ruby."Yes, ma'am. Everything is in order." said Nana Rosa as she finished setting up the dinner table."Good. When are they coming, Zoe?" She suddenly turned her attention to me and I can't help but laugh at her eagerness."Grayson said that they are on their way twenty minutes ago." And as I finished talking the sound of the intercom from the gate rang through the house."They're here!" Mom exclaimed as she ran upstairs, probably to get my father. I walked to the front door and looked through the camera and I was right, it was Grayson and Ruby, so I buzzed them in immediately as Gavin and Charlie opened the front door.As soon as I stepped out of the door, I immediately saw a familiar car driving into our driveway. They parked at the end of the driveway and walked to the front door, with Grayson holding a paper bag that looks lik
I woke up with a slight jolt as I hear the doorbell ring throughout the whole house. I looked at the person sleeping beside me and to my surprise, Gavin was still sound asleep. I sat up from my bed as I rubbed my eyes and left my sleeping boyfriend in the room to go downstairs to see what was happening so early in the morning.As soon as I got to the last flights of stairs, I saw my mom, dad, and Nana Rosa in front of the opened front door, already waiting for whoever rang the doorbell from the gate. I slowly approached them, still yawning and rubbing my eyes."What's going on?" I asked them as another yawn left my mouth, but before any one of them could answer me, a police car suddenly came into view, driving through our driveway. The two officers that we all knew came out of the car and began walking toward us. "To what do we owe your early visit today officers?" My dad suddenly asked as the two of them finally stood in front of the doors."Good morning, Mr. Aragon. We apologize fo
Honestly, I'm still a bit skeptical about the plan. I'm not really comfortable allowing my boyfriend to be used as bait to lure in a dangerous criminal. And now, until our car ride to the supposed meeting place, I'm still trying to change his mind. "Love, I'm gonna be fine. It's just Kacey. She's not gonna do anything to me." He said to me and I even saw him smile from the corner of my eye. "That's what we thought about Nancy. And what did they get us?" I asked him, this time he flat out laughed at me and that raised the level of my worry even more. "It's not funny, Gavin! I'm seriously not okay with this plan." "Calm down, love. I promise I'm gonna be fine and besides there are gonna be police officers inside the room with me, remember?" He said to me and I still can't manage to shake off my worry. We got into the hotel lobby an hour before the time that Gavin told Kacey to meet up. When we got there the room was already wired with cameras and mics. There were four police officers
I didn't know that taking someone to court is this hard. Our mom and dad immediately hired a lawyer for the case to help with the prosecution but we still had to gather all of the paper works ourselves and I was the one who got stuck to it. So now, me and Gavin and in our apartment trying to organize everything. It includes paper works from the hospital, the messages between Kacey and Gavin, and the paperwork for the car. "Thank goodness, I kept everything from the hospital." I said to Gavin as he helped me organize all the paper works. "Good job, love." He said to me sarcastically like he was complimenting a little kid that just memorized the alphabet, so I just rolled my eyes at him. "I'm not complaining. It's just I didn't expect this much work that I have to take a leave from the office again." I said to him as I continued what I was doing. "Hey, your wedding with Grayson is postponed again. So I think it's a win-win for us." He said. "I guess you're right." I said to him wh
