13. Hitch Hike
"Likewise."
Sarah Lewis curved a smile as she heard Gray Stewart's response.
"It's really funny how you always catch me when I'm in trouble," she said as it went silent again.
"Yeah," Gray shortly replied while keeping her eyes on the road.
"You're like my personal saviour," Sarah said. "Always to the rescue!" She thrusted her arm out as if imitating a superhero's typical flying pose, then she laughed softly as she put her arm down in embarrassment.
"Yeah."
She briefly glanced at Gray then on her hands resting on her lap. "I'm sorry, I must be annoying you, I'll just keep quie---"
"It's fine, keep talking," Gray said while she b

As soon as Gray Stewart and Zia Scott heard about the dreadful accident, they rushed over to the hospital. As they arrived, they saw Edward's mother pacing back and forth near the reception area, awaiting their arrival. "Martha!" Gray called out her attention. "Where's Edward." "Come with me," Martha said as she walked away, and the two followed behind her. "What happened?" Gray asked as they were walking. "I--I don't know," Martha's voice was breaking. "I...I heard he got hit by...by a car just across the school. T-the driver was speeding a-and...and noticed him too late. He was hit pretty hard," she explained. "Here," she added as she stopped on her tracks. "He's still inside." Gray and Zia looked at the room she was referring to. "The operating room?" Zia asked. "I-it's been an hour, I'm so worried," Martha answered as she brought a hand up to brush up her hair in exasperation. "W-wait," she added. "Who's this?" she asked as she pointed at Zia. Gray glanced at Zia beside h
Till Time Do Us Part 15. Truth Unveiled
"Hi, I'm Belinda, Belinda Cogzell. Edward's friend from work." Gray Stewart briefly stared at her then she continued reading her magazine. "Are we in hell right now?" "Excuse me?" Belinda said with one eyebrow raised. "What?" Gray glared daggers in her with her dead fish eyes. "Oh, I was reading a line in the magazine." "Ah, I see," Belinda responded. "Look, I just came here to visit Edward. I wanna see how he's doing," she said as she gestured her hand towards his bed. "Well, he's lying unconscious with that massive choker on his neck and a few stitches and little metals replacing his crushed bones inside. So I guess we can all agree that he's definitely fine," Zia mumbled to herself as she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"...it's my fault." "What?" Gray Stewart looked at her over her shoulder. "It's...It's," Zia's voice was breaking. "It's my fault," she muttered as she looked at Gray and a teardrop unbiddenly escaped her eyes. "What--you really believe whatever that reptile said?" Gray gestured her hand to the door where Belinda was dragged. "B-but, w-what if it's...what if it's true?" "What if it's true?" Gray approached her and leaned on the foot of Edward's bed, crossed arms. "So what? Are you just gonna let that kid die?" "W-what?" Zia's brows furrowed. "Look, let's say you didn't run away, let's say he was able to catch up with you while y
Till Time Do Us Part 17. Sasha Neuman
"Oh, God...please," Gray Stewart prayed, holding Sasha Neuman's bloodied hand tightly in between her shaking hands. "Please," she whispered underneath her breath, gazing down with her well up eyes at an unconscious redhead woman wearing a non-rebreather oxygen mask with a pulse oximeter attached to her finger that was connected to a monitor. The equipment inside the ambulance slightly sways with the high-speed driving. The two paramedics smeared with blood sat quietly across from Gray with the female paramedic studying the electrocardiogram monitor and the man beside her monitoring the patient. Only the soft sobbing and whispers of Gray could be heard amidst the reverberating noises from the siren and vehicle horns. And the faint beeping of the ECG monitor. "...please..." Gray leaned her forehead on their clasped hands, and her eyes, closed. "...please..."
Till Time Do Us Part 18. Crown Aces
"Arghhh..." Gray Stewart groaned as she sat up from an unfamiliar bed. A bed would be a stretch as it looked more like a backless stainless steel bench not even long enough to hold her six foot long body. She rested both elbows on her open thighs and dropped her head on her palms. "What the hell happened?" She strongly brushed up her hair as the intense pain in the head came knocking in. She looked around the room. It was closed with no windows and two doors. The bench she had slept in was placed nearly at the center of the room. Both sides of the walls had large glass wine cellar cabinets and a door on each edge. Behind her were racks with stored cardboard boxes, and wall hanging cupboards. She heard clinking noises from the door on the left. She finally rose and headed towards the door. As she peeked past the d
Till Time Do Us Part 19. Finally Awake
Sarah Lewis had just gotten out of a pharmacy with a plastic bag in hand. She walked along the sidewalk with her eyes leisurely wandering around the street. She slightly raised the plastic bag on her hand. "I hope this will help, even just a little." She felt a smile spread across her face. As her eyes continued to wander around the area, they found a familiar head of white hair drooping down on one of the benches in the park. She approached her. "Hi!" she said. Gray lifted her head. "Sa...sha?" Her eyes were quivering as she studied Sarah's face. "Actually, it's Sa-rah," Sarah corrected, smiling awkwardly. Gray stood up, her eyes still stuck on her face. "Sasha?"

"Zi...a..." Gray and Zia shared a glance. "Zia?" Gray asked cautiously. Edward blinked once. Gray eyed Zia on the sofa. Zia just shrugged her shoulders. Gray looked back at Edward intensely staring at her. "You...saw her?" she asked. He momentarily stared off, then he dragged his eyes back to her. And he blinked twice. "But you're certain she was here?" He blinked once. Gray's brows furrowed. "H-how?" He just stared at her, his gaze swiveling between her pair of eyes. Then he drew a long br

"What's with you?" Zia Scott said as she folded her blanket neatly to store in the bottom drawer inside the closet. Then she turned to Gray lifelessly sitting on the couch with her phone seated on her just as lifeless palm on her side. And her eyes, more fierce from a seemingly lack of sleep. Her glare could pierce through a bulletproof vest. "Nothing is with me, okay?" she answered, feeling the exhaustion of her eyes with every blink. "I thought we both slept at the same time last night?" "I--" Gray took a quick glance at her. "It's the couch, it's uncomfortable." "I told you you should have slept on the floor, giant." Zia smirked. "Exactly..." Gray muttered underneath her breath as she felt herself subconsciou
