When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I glared at him and finished the juice. “Please enjoy your dinner alone. I’ve got to leave as there is some stuff I need to attend to.”

He gave me a look of discontent and exclaimed, “I came all the way here, and you guys are all leaving me by myself! Why can’t y’all accompany me around J City?”

“You are already so familiar with this place. If you need to borrow a car, I can lend it to you. I really need to go.” I passed my car keys to him and left the cafe, headed to the yoga class.

I had been a lazy bum all my life. After half an hour of yoga, I was exhausted.

My phone kept on ringing while I was resting. It was from an unknown number. I did not answer the call and continued with my practice.

When I was just about to leave, Ashton called. I answered, and he exclaimed, “Quick, come to the hospital now! Macy and Jared got into an accident!”

My heart skipped a beat. There was no time to waste, so I hurried over.

Ashton and Joe were waiting at the ER. My legs were sore as I ran over, and I almost fell.

Ashton noticed and rushed forward to catch me. “Macy had a slight graze on her scalp. She’s in the dressing room and will be out soon.”

I sighed a breath of relief and looked at the ER and asked in concern, “How serious is Dr. Crest’s condition?”

“Jared is still in critical condition. Your best friend must’ve jinxed him.”
