real date. Fuck I’ll have to get up with Judd, he’ll
tell me some cool shit to do. I guess I really never cared enough
to impress a girl.
Looking up ahead I see a
car up against a tree slamming on brakes I stop and run over to the
all too familiar looking car. I quickly call 911 and run over to
the car. “911 What’s your
emergency?”
“ Yes I just drove up on an
accident on Hwy 17 it’s only one car.” “Is
there anyone in the car?” “Scarlet her
name is Scarlet Johnson.” “Sir. Can you
give me a cross roads you are near or something near your
location?” “Um. Yeah I’m about three miles
north of Richmond Hill. Close to Andrew Jackson Trail.” I’ve leaned
down in the car to check on Scarlet placing my fingers on her
neck. “Sir. Is the person moving or
awake?” “No ma’am she’s not awake but I
can feel her pulse.” “Ok is she bleeding
anywhere that you see?” “She has a few
cuts, nothing major.” “OK can you stay
with her until EMS arrives?” “Yes ma’am I
won’t leave her side.” I hear the sirens before I actually see
them. “I hear them now, so they must be close.” I step back as EMS
pulls up trying to give them room to get her out of the
car.
A few minutes later one of them steps
over to me. “Sir. Do you know her?”
I give a gentle nod. “Yeah. She’s a-
she’s a friend. Is she going to be okay?”
“Yes sir I think so, I can’t confirm
anything just yet. We are going to take her to the hospital now.
You can follow if you like. She doesn’t have an emergency contact
listed with her driver’s license so if you know her immediate
family you may want to call them.”
“Thank you. I’ll be right behind the
ambulance, I’m just going to find her phone and see if there is
anything else in the car she may need.”
The EMT nods. “Okay look you seem to
be pretty worried about this girl.” I nod. “Okay I’m not supposed
to do this but give me your name and I’ll give it to the girl in
the ER. I’ll tell them you’re her family so they’ll let you back.
Okay?”
I shake his hand. “Thanks man. My name
is Ryder. Ryder Abbott. I’m going to try and get in touch with her
mom now.” He nods walking to the ambulance.
A state trooper steps over. “You
didn’t happen to actually see what happened did you?” I shake my
head no. “Do you know if she has a company she’d prefer to come get
her car? I’m pretty sure they are going to total it, but we like to
send it somewhere that the owner likes.”
I shake my head. “No. But I have a guy
I trust.” I scribble his number on paper and hand it to the cop.
“Here’s his number tell him Ryder asked you to call. That I’ll be
in touch tomorrow.”
I dig through her car and
grab her phone and purse. Also, a little cash she had in the
center. Opening her contacts on her phone as I’m walking to my
jeep, I find her mom’s. Her phone rings with no answer, no voice
mail set up either. I scroll through until I find Gable’s number,
his phone goes straight to voice mail. “Hey you’ve reached the love master leave me a
message.” “Hey um Gable this is Ryder a
friend of Scarlet’s, she’s been in an accident. I was trying to get
in touch with your mom. If you could give me a call back my number
is 987-425-6549. Thanks man.”
Walking into the emergency room I find
a young girl at the desk. “Can I help you?” She purrs. She looks at
me like she wants to tear my clothes off. I know that look, I’ve
been getting it since I was fifteen. After that when they figure
out I have money, they’re even faster to try and tear my clothes
off. Maybe that’s one of the things that attracts me to Scarlet so
much. She was completely turned off by my money.
I snap back to here and now. “Yes,
Scarlet Johnson was just brought in by ambulance, I’m here for
her.”
She looks back at me
