Forbidden Love

Chapter 47

   It was a Friday afternoon, Amy just finished getting dressed and was about to go wait for Kyle in the living room, when her phone started to ring. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was her best friend. She smiled knowing that her best friend wanted to wish her luck, so she happily answered the call.

"Hey Mandy!" her greeting was cut short by her best friend's sobs.

"Mandy, what's wrong?" She anxiously asked.

"It's- it's. It's Kyle" Mandy hiccuped in between sobs.

"Mandy, what happened to Kyle?" Amy's heart jumped at the mention of Kyle.

"He- he.."

"Mandy, try to breath" She said to her best friend, as she noticed Mandy was finding it difficult to breath. She wanted her best friend to calm down a bit and explain properly what happened to Kyle.

"Kyle was involved in a car accident" Mandy finally explained, still in tears.

"What?!" Amy screamed in shock.

"When? How? Where?" She confusedly asked.

Amy was in a complete daze. How did this happen? Kyle was supposed to come pick her up, so how did he end up in an accident?

"He was on his way to your place when a car that lost control of its brakes ran into his car"

Amy could hardly believe this. This is all her fault. If she had insisted that he should forget about the lunch date, none of this would've happened. She began to cry, knowing that Kyle was hurt because of her.

"Can I come see him?" She managed to ask, wiping her face with the back of her hand.

"Of course. I'm sure he'd want that" Mandy told her.

Amy said goodbye to her best friend and ended the call, rushing out of the house and into her car, to go visit Kyle at the hospital.

   Amy got to the hospital and asked the nurse at the reception desk for Kyle's room number. As soon as she was given the information, she hurried into an elevator and clicked on the button to the VIP floor. Amy kept praying in the elevator that Kyle isn't badly hurt from the accident, because if he is, she will never forgive herself.

The minute the elevator doors opened, Amy ran out, looking for Kyle's hospital room. Luckily for her, she sighted two figures in the hallway that looked like her best friend and her brother, Chase. So, she took quick steps towards them.

"Mandy" she quietly called her best friend's name to get their attention the moment she got to them.

Mandy quickly engulfed her in a hug, crying into the hug.

"How is he?" Amy asked Chase, who was leaning on the wall with his arms folded against his chest.

"He's unconscious at the moment... The doctor said he has a broken arm, some broken ribs and bruises on his head. Nothing major" Chase explained.

Amy sighed in relief. She was thankful that there was no major damage.

"But... Why is he still unconscious?" She didn't understand. If there was no damage to his internal organs, why isn't he waking up?

"The doctor said his body is still in shock, that is why he's still unconscious" Amy nodded in understanding, still soothing her best friend.

"Let's get you something to make you feel better" Amy then whispered to her best friend, guiding her to the hospital's cafeteria so they would both have coffee, to help calm their nerves.
