West High [24]

Asher

I really missed playing video games. I know it has been less than 24 hours, but what can I say owning a Mafia doesn't change everything.

We were playing waiting for Sara and Chris to show up so we could start eating. The pizza is starting to get cold.

Seriously, what are they doing? He was supposed to call her. Nothing else. It shouldn't take that long.

"Ha! I win, " Alex screamed, and I groaned. "You cheated," I replied.

"I did not. I'm just that good Asher, accept it, big boy," he replied, chuckling, and I glared at him.

"Again. And don't call me that, " I replied, pushing the controller back to his hand, still glaring at him.

We were stopped by the sound of steps. Sara and Chris came to view. Finally.

"Took you guys long enough," Alex said to them. Which is correct, but there was no reason to point it out.

They ignored his comment, and each took a seat. "You are going to eat no excuses it is Dad's orders," Alex said, handing Sara a plate with a couple slices of pizza.

She looked at the plate for a solid couple of seconds. It was like he gave her a trillion-dollar dollar necklace, and then she started chuckling.

We all looked at her confused. I don't hear her laughing a lot, but god wasn't it adorable.

"Oh, you are softening, Alex," she coed to Alex, making Chris and I each bark a laugh.

"I am not!" He answered, looking away. Oh, he completely is. He always looks away when lying. "Ohh yes, you are," she said, chuckling again.

I like this side of her.

Suddenly, Alex turned furious. He glared at Sara, and she shifted immediately. If it was anyone else, they would be terrified. But Sara looks unaffected. But if you look at her hand they are shaking.

They always shake when she is scared or anxious even if she has a brave face on. If you don't look at them you would be completely fooled by her braveness act.

"I don't wanna befriend you Sara just eat your damn food and go to your room or something. No one wants you in this house you are already bringing trouble" Alex shouted changing the whole room mode.

Sara didn't utter a word she just looked at him taking every word he says into mind. It is like she is analysing his words. She can't be serious about believing that! Mr Dante adores her.

"You just had to punch that girl didn't you!" He continued anger and annoyance lacing his voice. He is acting like he hated her or something we all know he doesn't.

"Well, you know what Alex? I tried being nice but you are just a jerk! Plain and simple" Sara suddenly stood and shouted right in his face.

"Guys relax!" I said loudly seeing where this is going.

"Yeah just stop!" Chris agreed.

"You want me out of your life, well guess what? I want that too. I don't want to be here too! You can have your damn food I don't want it" Sara continued completely ignoring us she then shoved the plate of food to his hand and marched upstairs .

"So you are just gonna abandon eating because the truth hurt you!" He screamed behind her but she didn't answer. A few seconds later and she came back downstairs.

"Where are you going ?" Alex asked annoyed.

"None of your business" Sara snapped back.

She wore her coat and headed to the door. She opened the door but Alex slammed it back shut.

"You are not going anywhere. Sit back down Now!" Alex ordered. And she scoffed loudly at him.

"I will not you don't have the authority to order me, Alex!" She screamed back.

"Yes I'm your big brother and I'm ordering you to sit your ass down and eat you damn food!" He screamed and Sara just started laughing. She is weird. Who laughs in this situation.

"So now I'm your sister! Now I'm your sister Alex! Well make me because unless you do I'm not staying in here for another damn second" she screamed back opening the door and leaving.

We all were shocked. "You aren't going behind her? she is sick!" Chris asked Alex but he just glared at him.

"I'm not going after this idiot, she screamed at me! No one screams at me and I let it slide" Alex groaned annoyed sitting back down.

"Man she fell to the ground unconscious due to malnutrition and she didn't eat a thing you can't just let her go out without eating" I said trying to reason with him.

"I'm not going after her Asher. If you wanna go, go."He said and I groaned.

My phone rang singling a message. I took it out of my pocket and read the message. It was from Chris.

'Go behind her it is late I'll stay with him' I looked up at Chris and nodded.

I grabbed my leather jacket and headed out. I walked and started looking for Sara. I saw her figure at the late end of the street. Running. Why is she running?

I started running behind her. She runs way fast for her petite body. I called for her but no answer. I called again no answer.

It took me a few moments but I caught to her. I just kept running with her. I few feet between us.

She kept running. I don't even think she knows I'm behind her. Her speed started decreasing so I stopped running and just continued fast walking behind her.

I can see see her, but I wasn't as close as before.

I felt like I was invading her space. She needs space. Alex was too harsh today. Too harsh.

I was lost in my thoughts taht I didn't realise Sara was running towards the highway.

"Sara watch it" I screamed and started running to catch up with her but she didn't stop and ran straight to the highway.

"Sara"i screamed again. The cars were horning on her and suddenly she stopped in her tracks in the middle of the road.

"Sara!" I screamed again but a car came speeding and hit her. I stopped in my tracks. My blood ran cold and everything happened in slow motion.

The car came speeding and hit Sara. Sara was thrown straight to the front car window. She hitted her head with the window and fall back to the ground.

I screamed and ran to her. I kneeled to her bloody figure. "Someone call an ambulance" I screamed.

I held her head. Please don't die, Sara. Please. Her eyes were open but she was just looking forward.

"Sara please keep your eyes open for me, okay" I said leaning to her.

Please don't go Sara. Please.

Seconds later an ambulance came. Paramedics came and started shouting stuff. I didn't understand a thing but they brought a stretcher.

"Sir you need to let go of her" a doctor told me. "No no I'm not leaving her alone" I told him.

"Sir listen to me we need to take her she needs to go to the hospital" he said again and I carefully let go off her.

The paramedics rushed her to the ambulance. They were carrying her bloody body in stretcher. She looks terrible.

I saw as they hurried her to the hospital. Then I ran. I ran as fast as I could behind her.

I ran behind her all the way to the hospital. The sound of the siren driving me crazy.

They opened the door and took her out. I rushed to her. "Please tell me she is okay" I cried. "Sir you need to get out of the way so we can help her" one of the paramedics told me.

I quickly got out of the way as they rushed her inside the hospital.

"We need to get her to surgery now!" I heard one of the doctors say and I collapsed to the ground.

"Sir are you okay?" Suddenly a nurse asked me. I couldn't speak. I looked at her and nodded my head.

I reached into my pocket with shaky hands. I reached for my phone and called Alex. It only rang once before he answered.

"Where are you man we are waiting for you"Alex's voice rang through the phone.

"Alex can you guys come to the West High hospital and call your father" I said and closed the phone.

Alex

"Why did I tell him to go after her" I groaned.

"We both know you don't hate her Alex" Chris said to me completely out of the blue.

I do hate her. She flipped my life upside down.

"Just shut and let's play" I flipped him off throwing a controller at him.

"I want to go out" I sighed looking at Chris after he beaten my ass in the game .

"Yeah me too but let's just wait for Asher" he said and I nodded in agreement.

I laid back on the coach grabbing my phone. I just sat there mindlessly scrolling on Instagram.

Suddenly Asher called. "It's Asher" I told Chris before answering.

"Where are you man we are waiting for you" I said through the phone. I was stunned to hear Asher's tired voice.

"Alex can you guys come to the West High hospital and call your father" he replied breathing heavily.

I immediately stood up. I was about to ask what the f*** happened but he hung up.

"What is it?" Chris asked worriedly.

"I think Asher is hurt he is at West High hospital and he told us we should come and I should bring Dad too" I replied putting on my coat.

Chris immediately but one his coat and grabbed his keys. And headed behind me outside.

Chris opened his car and got in the drivers seat and I went to the passengers seat.

Chris sped to the hospital and I called dad. "Hurry up I'm in a very important meeting" he said through the phone.

"Dad it is Asher I think he is hurt. He said he want us at the West High hospital now." I replied quickly.

"What is it what happened mmm"sas asked and I told I don't know and that he should hurry.

By the moment I closed the phone, we were at the hospital. We both hurriedly got out of the car.

The moment we stepped out of the car we saw Asher sitting outside the hospital. Before we could even comprehend what is happening.

My dad and Mr Black pulling to the hospital drive way. They both came out of their cars on hurry and the moment they saw Asher, they visibly relaxed.

We all went to Asher. "What happened are you okay?" Mr Black said examining his son.

"I'm fine Dad it is not me" Asher replied standing up. He was sweating.

"Where is Sara?" My Dad asked. I just looked at him. I don't know what to say. I don't know where she is.

"She in Surgery" Asher revealed and we all looked at him in shock. A moment we were all shocked and the second dad had Asher pinned to the wall by his neck. Asher just held eye contact with my dad while he practically chocked him.

"What did you do to my daughter?" Dad screamed at Asher. I tried to get him off Asher but he wouldn't even budge.

"You better take your hand of my son right now Dante! I don't care if you are like my brother I would blow your head right here!" Mr Black said to my dad sternly.

"Dad please let go" I whispered to him and he finally let go.

"I didn't do anything she just ran directly to the highway and a speeding car hit her" Asher shouted at my father after finally filling his lung with oxygen.

"What?" I asked shocked taking a few steps back. Before we could say anything a nurse came to us.

"Are you gentlemen Sara Hope family?" She asked reading her chart.

"It is Sara Carter" my dad said through gritted teeth. "Excuse me sir" the nurse asked confused.

"Yes we are her family" I replied.

"Is she okay?" My dad asked his voice full of worry.

" she is still in surgery sir. Can we take you guys to the waiting room" she said and we nodded.

We followed her inside the hospital and to the waiting area.
