#Chapter604

A beginning and an ending

Presley

My parents set up a party and invited family and Eliza to it. They did a joint party for Eliza and me. Grandpa helped with the food while Nana supplied the desserts. I helped my brothers set everything up, then my phone rang.

I answered it, talked to the person, then hung up. My brothers looked at me.

/"I got to go. The station is short because two guys are out in injuries,/" I said.

/"Presley,/" Payton said.

/"It’s a life of a paramedic,/" I said, shrugging. I walked away and went inside the house.

Pops looked at me. /"Where are you going?/" Pops asked.

/"The station called. They’re short-handed,/" I answered.

/"Presley,/" Pops said.

/"My shift shouldn’t last long. Save me some food,/" I said, going upstairs to change. I put my uniform on and left the house, then drove to the station and reported for my shift. Eliza arrived and is out on a call.
