Please Tell Me They're Lying

Time passed by quickly, Rosie and her parents spend most of their time playing outdoor games, swimming and gathering at night in front of the bonfire. And with that their 5 day vacation is now coming to end.

Rosie was reluctant to leave the place since they have built new memories here and even though the life here is simple but it is quite comfortable. This vacation and this place let them to be much closer to each other.

"Mom, Dad before we go let's take a picture here in front of the cabin."

Then Rosie get her cellphone and started to take pictures. Aside from their family picture, she also took a photo of her parents. Then she send her pictures to Jackson with a caption "Where leaving now, we're already coming back home. Although I wanted to see you I wish we can still stay here for few more days... huhuhu :("

Seeing her message Jackson smiled "Everything has its ending, now is the time for you to go back. Don't worry there will always be another time. Take care on your way back, I'll be waiting for you."

After that they all left.

"I hope we can come back here again someday" Rosie said.

"We just left that place and now your thinking of coming back again haha" Mrs. Stefanie said jokingly, she knows that her daughter was reluctant to leave but they need to come back home since they still need to run their business and Rosie's school semester will soon begin.

"Don't worry Rosie will come back here again during your next school break. Also as I promise I will sing you a song whenever you want. If you want I can always sing your favorite song and if your father isn't busy he will play the guitar. With that it will feels like were still on a vacation." Mrs. Stefanie said comforting her daughter.

"Alright, since you've made a promise I'll look forward to that Mom. Oww you can also sing me a lullaby every night just like what you always did when I was young. Haha I suddenly miss those times." Rosie said.

"Okay when we got home I'll sing you a lullaby when you go to bed." Mrs. Stefanie agreed, although Rosie is a grown up girl now in their hearts she will always remain as their baby girl, their most precious daughter.

Their journey continue, Rosie was looking at the window. She watched as those trees gradually looks smaller and smaller until it left her eyes. Those beautiful trees were now being replaced by tall buildings.

....

BOOOOOOM!!!

A loud sound echoed through the vastness of the road when a big ten-wheeler truck suddenly emerged in the intersection causing it to collide with the car that Rosie and her parents where using.

That unforeseeable event shock all of them, the impact when the two cars collide was so strong that it cause Rosie's parents car to roll over for a few times before it finally stop and was flipped upside down. Not many cars have passed by this road since it was still near the suburbs. Also only few people were at the road during those time so only few people saw what happened. But that terrifying scene before their eyes sent chills to everyone and almost scared them to death. Many people almost collapsed when they saw the scene, others call the ambulance while some of them try to go over and help the victims.

The collision caused a severe damaged on the car. Some people check if the victims were still breathing and some of the try to open the car doors. They thought that the collision might cause the car to explode so they want to remove the victims inside as soon as possible. Soon after the medics and ambulance came and the victims were rescued and bought to the nearest hospital.

Rosie's parents were on a critical condition especially his father because it was the driver's seat that was crashed by the truck. Soon after they arrived at the hospital, they were immediately brought to the operating room.

Jackson and his parents immediately came over to the hospital as soon as they heard the news.

.....

After several hours Rosie regain her consciousness, she slowly opened her eyes but the light blinded her causing her to immediately close it back. After several second she try to open it again until she succeeded.

"Rosie, you're finally awake, how are you feeling? Can you recognized me?" Jackson asked anxiously as soon as Rosie opened her eyes.

"Where am I?" Rosie asked

"Your in the hospital, do you remember what happened to you?" Jackson replied.

"Hospital?? Why am I here? I remember that me and my parents were on our way home... ouch" Rosie suddenly touched her head and cried in pain.

Jackson rushed out immediately and call for the doctor.

"Doctor Rosie wake up already hurry and check her up she's in so much pain."

Doctors immediately went over Rosie's room and check her condition.

After several minutes, the head doctor speak up.

"She's fine now but she needs to rest. Her injures were taken care of but it will heal after several weeks. She suffered from concussion and we already stitched up the damaged part in her head but she will still feel the pain from time to time."

After the doctors left, Rosie seemed to remember everything that happened. She tried to sit and asked Jackson.

"Ja.. Jackson I remember everything now. I.. we.. we're on our way home when a truck bump our car. What happened to my parents? Where's my Mom and my Dad? Are... are they fine, are they awake now??"

Jackson still remain silent after a several minutes have passed.

Hearing no response, Rosie started to get anxious, her hands were trembling as she try reach Jackson's hand, with a teary eyes she speak again.

"Jackson why are you not speaking huh? Tell me how's my parents. Their safe right. I'm fine now so I'm sure their also safe. Quick tell me where they are, please bring me to them." Rosie's voice started to tremble and tears started to run down to her face.

"Fine if you don't tell me I'll just look for them."

Rosie removed the IV drip that was connected in her hands. With great strength she walked down her bed and started to walk. But because of the accident she still felt weak and her legs felt numb, she collapsed in the floor. Good thing Jackson catch her before she hit the floor.

"Rosie listen to me okay, you're still weak you can't just walk around even if you wanted to. Calm down okay? I'll tell you about your parents when you already calm yourself." Jackson forced a smile but sadness can be seen in his eyes.

"Why don't you tell me now. I've already calm myself. No it's okay don't tell me I can find them myself." Rosie once again get up from her bed and with great force she started to walk again. But as soon as she walked out of her room a shocking news flashed through the television which made her collapsed on the floor.

"Rosie..." Jackson quick run over to help her.

"BREAKING NEWS!!! A big car accident happened this morning. A ten-wheeler truck suddenly collide with a car which made it to roll over on the ground. The victims were the owner of a well-known shopping mall: the RnD Mall, Mr. Briant Despi together with his wife Mrs. Stefanie Despi and their daughter Rosie Despi. They were immediately brought to the hospital and undergo the needed surgery but it is said that Mr. Briant died while on their way to the hospital while his wife was under monitoring in the ICU and their daughter just wake up from unconsciousness."

Rosie burst into tears, she can't believed what's happening.

"No it can't be, they they're lying right, tell me that THEY'RE LYING!!" Rosie shout in anger. She didn't believe any news, she thought it was absurd. She won't believe anything unless she saw it with her own eyes. She laugh desperately " Please... please Jackson tell me that they're lying. Tell me it's not true please..." Rosie pleaded desperately before she burst into tears again.

Jackson didn't say anything instead he hug Rosie tightly, brush her hair and let her cry on his shoulder.
