Fervor
“By the time I got my nerve up the call was headed to voicemail. I could barely make out the whispery content of her plea, but the tinny sound of her voice left me cold.
"Butterfly." I flew off the stool and headed for the door.
" Gage...?" I think I scared the fuck out of my mother.
"Suzette..." that's all I got out before I was running to my car, no thought and no direction, I just knew everything inside of me told me to get to her before it was too late.
I drove like a bat out of hell with no... thought to the speed limit, if there was a high-speed chase they would have to shoot me down because I wasn't stopping. I drove with a broken heart the tinny repeal of her plea playing on a loop in my head. When I pulled up to her house the sight of an ambulance almost gave me a heart attack. I pushed my way past the EMTs and entered in time to see her dad bringing her downstairs bundled in a blanket. I barely held myself up by my will.
"What are you doing here Gage?" "Please Steve I know you're pissed off but we can't do this now, you can't take her to the hospital, the media would be all over this." "You think I give a shit about that boy?MoreLess
