But all of a sudden, there’s a car coming from the other side of the road at a great speed. Before Anastasia could notice the flash light of the vehicle, it was too late. With great force, the car hit her, throwing her to the ground.
Anastasia tumbled over and over, stopping by the tyre of a parked car which halted by the side of the road. The car halted, and the driver walked out of the car, rushing to Anastasia’s body.
Bella and Tessa on the other hand have been standing by the side of the road. People had started creating a scene, so they decided to go take a look.
“Does any one know who the young lady is?!” Said a male voice in a loud tone. “Does any?”
Bella pushed through the crowd to see who it was. She gasped, covering her mouth as soon as she saw the body laying on the ground.
“What happened here?” She asked. “Who did this to her?”
“I’m sorry Miss, it was a mistake.” Said the driver.
Bella looked at him with anger. She walked to his side, dashing him a hot slap on his right cheek. “Are you fu*king blind or what? Do you need some glasses to look before you drive? Now let me ask you, do you even have a driving license because you’re going straight right to jail if any thing happens to my friend!” She yanked, pushing him by the chest.
Not quite long, the ambulance siren was heard as they drove towards the scene. “You’re fu*king going right to jail, you heard me, Mr? And don’t forget, you’re paying the bills.” She pointed at his face.
They carried Anastasia’s body, dropping her on the emergency bed of the ambulance. Bella entered the ambulance, staying beside Anastasia while Tessa stayed at the front seat of the van.
“Don’t let that dude get away! He is responsible for sending my friend to a coma!” She yelled, loud enough for the police to hear her. “@$$hOle.”
She focused her gaze at Anastasia whose body has been designed with bruises. “How is she?” She asked the nurse who was already checking on her.
“Her pulse is getting weak, but I’ll do my best to sustain her until we get to the hospital.” She assured her.
When they got to the hospital, they brought Anastasia from the van. Some nurses had come to help push her bed into the emergency wardroom.
Bella tried to enter the emergency room but a doctor held her back. “Get your Goddamn hands off me!” She yelled.
“I’m sorry, Miss, but we can’t let you in here.” He said.
“Why the fu*k can’t I go in there? She’s my sister!” She yanked.
“I’m sorry, Miss, this is a critical time and it needs only the doctors.” He explained to her.
Tessa held her back. “Don’t worry, doctor, we’ll wait.”
“Thank you.” He shuts the door close.
“Hey, Bella, you have to calm down and let them do their job. The most important thing is that Ana isn’t dead, hopefully she’ll survive it. And the fact that that bastard is under the police custody, every thing is alright.”
Bella shoved her hair in frustration. “She was fine, Tessa, she was perfectly fine. We talked and you saw us, right? One minute she’s alright, and the next…” she bursted out in tears. “The next… she’s lying on a goddamn hospital bed!”
“We both saw how perfectly fine she was. What happened to her is not your fault, okay? Please, stop blaming yourself and let’s just hope she walks out alive.”
“What about Pablo? What if he calls, what are we gonna say to him?” She asked worriedly.
“We’ll tell him the truth. No lies, just the truth and nothing but the truth. I believe he’ll come back for her.”
The same doctor who had refused to let Bella in walked out of the emergency room. On seeing him, the two girls stood up from the chair they were sitting on.
“Doctor, how is she?” Tessa asked.
He sighed, like he was scared to say the words. “I’m sorry, girls, your friend’s condition is critical. She hasn’t only lost her memory, she is having an internal bleeding. We will try our best but we can’t exceed our capability if her condition rises.” He explained without leaving a single truth behind.
“What?!” Tessa yanked.
“No!!! No, this isn’t happening! You’re a doctor right, you guys have to do some thing about this.”
“Like I say, Miss, we will try our best to restore your sister back to life. If you’d excuse me, I have to attend to the victim.” He excused himself, leaving the two girls speechless.
Just then Anastasia’s phone rang. Bella picked it out from her purse, checking the caller. On seeing Pablo’s name, they both exchanged glares. Bella shook her head, but Tessa nodded her head for a go ahead.
“No. No, I can’t, Tessa, I can’t tell him.”
“You have to, Bella. Go on, pick the call.” She urged her to answer the call.
Bella glared at the phone. She finally picked the call. “Hello?” She said, sounding cold.
“Ana?”
“I’m sorry, Mr Escobar, this isn’t Ana. I’m her best friend Bella.”
“Oh, Bella. You’re the girl who works with her, right?” He asked to be sure.
“Yes, I am.”
“Okay. What about Ana? Is she around?” He asked.
Bella sniffed. “I… I…”
Pablo heard her sniff, he wondered why she would be crying on his call. “Bella? Is there a problem?” He asked.
“Mr Escobar, it’s Ana. Ana is…”
“What happened to Ana?” He asked, cutting her sharply. “What happened to my girlfriend?” He was growing impatient already.
“Ana… was hit by a car a few minutes ago. She’s in the hospital right now, but… the doctors said that her condition… that her condition is… is… is critical. They… they’re not sure she’s gonna survive it.”
