HELPING EACH OTHER

THE ACCIDENT

LETICIAS POV

IT HAS BEEN THREE WEEKS SINCE THE DAY THAT I WAS BEING FOLLOWED AND I HAD TOLD JASY ABOUT IT, WE WERE IN OUR LAST CLASS OF THE DAY WHEN JASY AND I WERE CALLED OUT OF OUR CLASS AND TOLD TO GO TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE. WHEN WE GOT THERE WE SAW SOME POLICE OFFICERS AND STATED TO GET WORRIED, WHY WOULD OFFICERS WANT TO TALK WITH ME AND JASY.

"ARE YOU LETICIA FLOREZ" THE LADY OFFICER ASKED

"YES WHAT IS THIS ABOUT" I ASKED

"YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE A SEAT" THE MALE OFFICER SAID

"WHAT IS GOING ON" JASY SAID AS WE SAT DOWN

"LETICIA YOUR PARENTS WERE IN A TERRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT AND THEY ARE IN THE HOSPITAL" THE LADY OFFICER

"WHICH HOSPITAL" I ASKED

"THE MAIN STREET HOSPITAL" THE MALE OFFICER SAID

I GOT UP AND RAN TOWARDS MY CAR WITH JASY HOT ON MY TAIL, WHEN WE GOT TO MY CAR WE HEADED TO THE HOSPITAL AND WHEN WE GOT THERE WE PARKED AND WENT RUNNING INTO THE LOBY.

"I AM LOOKING FOR LOURDES AND LORENZO FLOREZ" I SAID

"AND YOU ARE" THE NURSE ASKED

"I AM THEIR DAUGHTER LETICIA FLOREZ" I SAID

"OKAY LET ME GET THE DOCTOR FOR YOU PLEASE TAKE A SEAT IN THE WAITING ROOM" SHE SAID

WE HEADED TO THE HOSPITAL AS JASYS PHONE WENT OFF, SHE LOOKED AT ME AND I NODDED MY HEAD AS SHE GOT UP AND WALKED OUT OF THE WAITING ROOM TO ANSWER THE CALL.

"MISS FLOREZ" A MAN IN DOCTOR SCRUBS ASKED

"YES THAT IS ME, HOW ARE MY PARENTS" I ASKED

"I AM DOCTOR SMITH AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION THEY ARE IN STABLE CONDITION RIGHT NOW BUT WE DO NEED TO OPERATE ON THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE" DOCTOR SMITH SAID

"HOW MUCH WILL THE OPERATION COST" I ASKED

"FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS" HE SAID

"HOW FAST DO YOU NEED THE MONEY" I ASKED

"THE SOONER THE BETTER CHANCE THAT YOUR PARENTS HAVE TO LIVE" HE SAID

"OKAY CAN I GET BACK TO YOU AND CAN I SEE THEM" I ASKED

"YEAH FOLLOW ME" HE SAID

AS HE WAS LEADING ME TO MY PARENTS ROOM JASY CAME IN AND SHE LOOKED AT ME, I GRABED HER HAND AND WE WALKED BEHIND THE DOCTOR UNTIL WE GOT TO MY PARENTS ROOM. WHEN I OPENED THE ROOM I SAW BOTH OF MY PARENTS CONECTED TO ALOT OF MACHINES WHICH ONLY MADE ME CRY, JASY HUG ME AS I CRIED ON HER SHOULDER.

"WHAT DID THE DOCTOR SAY" JASY ASKED

"THEY NEED TO OPERATE ON THEM BUT IT WILL COST FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND WE DONT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO JASY I CANT LET THEM DIE" I SAID

"MY BROTHER MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP, WHY DONT YOU ASK HIM" JASY SAID

"YOU THINK HE WILL HELP ME, A COMPLETE STRANGER TO HIM" I ASKED

"YEAH HE MAY LOOK MEAN BUT HE IS ONE SOFT TEDDY BEAR OR WOLF IN HIS CASE" JASY SAID

"OKAY LETS GO TALK TO HIM" I SAID

I GAVE MY MOM AND DAD A KISS AND THEN HEADED TO MY HOUSE TO CHANGE OUT OF MY UNIFORM AND PUT SOMETHING MORE APROPRIATE, WHEN I WAS READY WE HEADED TO JASYS HOUSE. SHE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOWS THAT I AM ALSO A WOLF BUT HAS NEVER SEEN ME IN MY WOLF FORM, SHE FOUND OUT WHEN A GIRL MADE ME MAD AT SCHOOL AND MY EYES TURNED BLACK DURING OUR SECOND TO LAST YEAR IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. EVER SINCE THEN SHE HAS BEEN KEEPING MY SECRET AND NOW IN OUR LAST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL SHE IS MY BEST FRIEND, AS WE PULLED INTO HER DIRVE WAY I PARKED MY CAR AND TURNED IT OFF.

WE WALKED IN TO THE HOUSE AND JASY ASKED FOR HER BROTHER AND WE WERE TOLD THAT HE WAS IN HIS OFFICE, SHE GUIDED ME TO THE OFFICE AND KNOCKED BEFORE WE HEARD A COME IN SHE ASKED ME TO WAIT OUTSIDE WHILE SHE TALKED TO HER BROTHER AND GOT WHO EVER WAS IN THERE WITH HIM OUT. I WAITED AGAINST THE WALL THINKING HOW I WAS GOING TO PAY FOR THE OPERATION IF JASYS BROTHER DECLINED TO HELP ME WITH IT, I SLID DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND PLACED MY HEAD ON MY ARMS WHILE I PLACED MY ARMS ON MY KNEES. I DONT KNOW HOW LONG I WAS THERE BUT IT FELT LIKE FOR HOURS, I JUST COULDNT STOP THINKING OF HOW I WAS GOING TO GET THE MONEY. I TEXTED MY POPA ABOUT WHAT HAPPEND AND HE SAID THAT HE WOULD TRY TO COME BACK TO CALIFORNIA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BUT HE WAS ALREADY IN ITALY AND HE HAD SOME THINGS TO FINISH OFF THERE BEFORE HE COULD TRAVEL BACK. AS I WAS PLACING MY PHONE IN MY BACK POCKET JASY AND THREE OTHER GUYS WALKED OUT OF THE OFFICE AND JASSY SAID I COULD GO IN AND THAT SHE WAS GOING TO WAIT FOR ME OUTSIDE, I WALKED IN AND SAW HER BROTHER LOOKING OUT THE BALCONY WINDOW AS I CLOSED THE DOOR BEHIND ME HE ASKED ME TO TAKE A SEAT WITHOUT TURNING TO LOOK AT ME SO I DID.
