I can't seem to wrap my head around what happened the previous day.

First, Mason and Mrs. Blake, William's step mother messed with me which cost me not only my job but also my mother's job. Secondly, what William and I talked about lat night.

What people say is true.

It's a small world.

I wouldn't have imagined that such a thing was even possible. Miracles do happen.

The driver stops the car outside my house and helps me get my things out. I thank him and go in.

"Mom!" I call out but there is no reply.

I go to her room but there is no one there. I frown at this and go to the living room. She must have gone out to get some groceries or something.

I unpack my things. There isn't much laundry except a blouse and a pair of socks. I take them to the bathroom. That's where the washing machine is.

When I open the door, I get a huge shock. There is water on the floor, which is odd because mom does not like water on the floor. There are clothes strewn across it and they're soaking wet!

I take a cautious step, but I wish I hadn't. The step gave me the view of the floor right next to the washing machine. There is blood all over it!

I back out the door and with trembling hands call Ella. She does not pick up. Panic rises inside me and my breathes are short gasps. My heart's beating really fast and one thought keeps repeating in my mind.

Is mom alright? Is mom alright? is mom alright?

I jump when the phone rings. At first I'm too scared to pick it up but when I do Ella's voice reaches me.

"Hello? Cassy is that you?"

I force myself to speak. "Wh...What? What happened?"

"Cassy, listen to me. I'm going to send a car to pick you up and then I'll explain everything once you're here with me." With this she hangs up and I slowly put the reciever down.

What does she mean? Go where? Where is she?

"I want mom! I want my mother!" I know that screaming this isn't going to make her appear before me but I just feel that it's what I should do.

After a few minutes, the door bell rings. It's Ella's driver, so I leave with him and let him take me wherever he's supposed to.

We drive to the hospital. This makes me panic even more. I'm out of the car before it even stops. I rush inside and over to the front desk.

"Where's my mom?!" I scream at the receptionist.

"Calm dowm, sweetie." She says, trying to help but it only makes it worse for me.

Before I can say anything, Ella's voice speaks up. "Cassandra!" I run over to her and into her open arms.

I don't think we've hugged like this.

I pull away and gasp through the tears. "What happened? Where's mom?"

She does not reply but simply leads me to an operation theatre. There's a glass on one wall through which I can see what's going on.

Mom is lying still and motionless on a table while doctors and nurses surround her. I press my hands and face against the glass. After a few seconds I realize that I'm trying to get through.

Once I know that I can't look anymore, I turn towards my sister who's standing next to me. She understands the unspoken question and makes me sit down onto a bench lining the walls.

"Mom was doing the laundry this morning and she slipped."

"Slipped?" I ask in disbelief. She nods and continues.

"She hit her head hard on the floor. This caused some disturbance in her brain. Besides that a lot of her bones are broken. She's only breathing because of the machines. If they take her off them she'll die."

I understand what she's trying to say. "You mean she's in comma."

With this I break down into tears and Ella puts her arms around me.

The promised update!

I don't think that I'll be able to update after this till my exams finish.
