Chapter 17 # The accident

Kyle's P.O.V.

Currently it's 6 pm in the evening me and my two friends are hanging out here in my game room. Game room is like a massive living room on the left of my house where all the things I like doing with my friends are kept like videogames.

We are currently working on our internship or college projects together.

"Hey Kyle did you speak to Rebekah?" asked Cal suddenly.

Listening Cal speak about Rebekah Caleb finally looked up from his book and turned his attention towards us.

"About what?" I asked knowing fully well what he was talking about.

"Don't you owe her an apology."

Not again that same talk Cal and I almost had massive fight because of this topic thank god Caleb was also there and stopped us both on time. I know Cal always had massive crush on her but chose to be friends with instead of pursuing her and then she started dating me.

"Cal, she dated me because she wanted even though she knew that I don't like her. Then she dumped me when I didn't remember her birthday and didn't come to party. I don't owe her an apology. She shouldn't have expected anything from or shouldn't date me since start."

I don't even look up while saying this. I know I am being incredibly rude but it's also good for him it should be better if he moved on from his feelings for. Rebekah never showed even slightest bit of interest in him after all.

I peeked at him from the corner of my eyes and see he sighs looking disappointed and angry. He was going to start to fight but before he could Caleb put his hand on his shoulder and shakes his head no, seeing him Cal sits back down and keeps sulking for the rest of evening.

In between a maid came bringing snacks for us with some juice. We all took a break from studying. And chatted and goofed around like we always do. Nobody brought up topic of Rebekah again or any uncomfortable topic up again.

I like moments like this where I don't have think about all the problems going on in my life or about the difficulties that tomorrow will bring. I just forget my problems and enjoyed my time with my two best friends without any worries.

Suddenly my cell phone started ringing. It was my mom.

"Hey, guys I need to take this."

Saying this I got up from my seat and went at side.

As picked up I heard a female voice from the other side that wasn't my mom.

"Hello, is this Mr. Kyle."

"Yes, it is. Who is this?"

"I am calling from city center hospital. Your mother was involved in an accident. It was a drunk driver he drove into wrong lane and crashed into your mom's car. Her condition is quite critical. It would be best if you or one of your family members can come here at L.A. for her medical treatment."

Hearing this my heart sank. And I started sweating.

"Mr. Kyle, Mr. Kyle are you there?"

I managed to control anxiety. And answered.

"Yes, I'll be there as soon as possible."

I hang up go back to my seat. Seeing me filled with anxiety and fear. My friends immediately sit straight and look towards me.

I rub my forehead and start explaining.

"My mother was involved in car accident. And she is in critical condition. I have to go to L.A. in the earliest flight possible."

They are also show worried expression. Afterall they too care about my mother.

"Hey, she'll be alright."

Cal tries to in courage me. And I give him a sad smile.

Caleb only says that he'll be there for me. Classic Caleb.

I go back to my room and pack all the necessary things. Book the latest flight for L.A. which is scheduled 4:30 in the morning.

I take nap for a while and soon it is time for my fight. My driver drives me to the airport at 3:45 in the morning and it is already 4:15 by the time I reach. I immediately board the plane.

I took a window seat. I look out of the window and remember the day when I was kid and we lived in different city, me and mom it was just us all the time and then I recall how one day Kara arrived my house and then me, mom and she we all played together. Those are the one of the most beautiful memories of my life that I am always going to cherish.
