1.40 A Scene

"Why is David at the hospital? Is it his grandmother? Did she try to escape the hospital again?" I ask Britanny in panic, then my stomach sinks even further, "Wait. It's not him, right? He's not hurt?"

Britanny rolls her eyes at me, "He's okay, and Grandma is okay too."

Oh, Thank God! "You should've told me that sooner! Do you have any idea how scared I was?"

My fingers are still shaking, but I manage to text David using the number Britanny gave me.

Britanny looks heavenwards again as she shifts gears, speeding up the car. I fiddle with the seatbelt across my chest. "But...you looked so scared, though. I thought for sure something horrible happened.." I tell her.

"Something horrible did happen. It's Ari." Britanny replies.

I blink at her, "Ari?! What happened? Is she okay?"

Britanny runs a hand through her hair, her elbow leaning on the window of her car, "She collapsed earlier this afternoon. All of them are at the hospital now."

"Do we know why she collapsed?"
