Don’t Panic | Zoe & Sarah
zoe-becker:
Zoe was trying to stay calm, she didn’t know why she suddenly felt so much panic, it wasn’t like she and Tiffany were extremely close yet, but she they had just taken the baby steps to becoming friends and most importantly, sisters. Aside from that, she knew that Tiffany and their babies were her brother’s whole world and it killed her to think of him losing his family just as they were just getting started in life. She grabbed her bag and jacket and followed Sarah quickly out of the room, grateful for the hug, and squeezed her roommate tight, trying hard not to cry. “I hope so… he can’t lose her.. he can’t lose them.” she said shakily, quickly getting into the car and buckled up, pulling her feet up on the seat, hugging her knees to her chest. “Eighteen wheeler hit their truck.. that’s all he said…”
Sarah’s heart stopped when she heard Zoe’s description of the accident. It was much more serious than she’d first thought. Tiffany, Carter, and their offspring would be lucky to be alive. Not wanting to alarm Zoe, Sarah smiled reassuringly at her. “I’m sure they’ll be okay,” her voice was soft and hopefully helped soothed some of her friend’s fears. She didn’t know Carter or Tiffany very well but they seemed like nice people and she hated the thought of anything bad happening to them. Even though she wasn’t a religious person, Sarah sent a quick prayer to the powers that be to help the young couple pull through. They both had so much more ahead of them and it would be an unspeakable tragedy for them to lose it all at such a young age. While sitting at a stoplight she took in her roommate’s appearance. The bright, bubbly, sweet girl she knew had transformed into a shaken bundle of nerves. “There’s tissues in the glove compartment if you need any,” she gestured to the area quickly before placing her hands firmly back on the wheel. It wouldn’t do to have them get in an accident on the way to check on survivors of another accident. A few minutes later they were finally at the hospital. Sarah pulled into the E.R. parking lot and put the car in the park. “I think this is probably a family only kind of thing. I hope everything goes well for Carter, Tiffany, and the little ones. Call me when you need me to pick you up,” she smiled shakily and waited on Zoe to agree.
