could, not very cautious of the old lady in a wheel chair right next to him. He asked the nurse at the check in desk if he could see Bryan. Bryan, the boy that got in a terrible car accident.
β€œYou have to speak to the doctor first, sir,” the nurse said. The doctor walked out. He was old, and looked trust worthy with his gray hair and his big glasses. With a clip-board in his hand, he walked up to Bryan’s dad. His paces were slow and calm, but the expression on his face wasn’t. He looked like something bad happened. Dr. Brown told him the news that would change his life forever. Bryan’s dead.

Elle was sitting home that same night. She was worried and impatient because all she wanted to do was hear from Bryan. I am so tired, she thought. I really need some sleep. I guess I will just wait until tomorrow to hear from Bryan. I’m sure he is fine.
As she lay down in her big, soft purple bed, she looked around. Her eyes were drifting all around the room. The stuffed animals from when I was a baby, a picture of me and my dad, the little night light my brother got me for my birthday the year before he died. She looked at the jewelry box that her mom got her when she was twelve. It was pink and a little old, but she couldn’t get rid of it. On the book shelf was a picture of her with a poem her dad wrote her. β€œI love you with all my heart, my precious baby girl. You are beautiful. Stay strong. Always glow. You will always be my shining star.” She saw the picture on the end table of her and Bryan and junior prom. What a fun night, she thought. I remember the beautiful red flowers he bought me and the delicious chocolates. She saw the purple teddy bear sitting by her bed that Bryan got her for their six month anniversary. I wonder what he is going to get me from our one year! He knows me so well. She smiled at the thought of her one year anniversary with the love of her life. It was going to be such a big day, and it is coming so soon.
Right before she fell asleep, she heard her obnoxious cell phone ring.
β€œRING.” Bryan is calling! Finally! She answered the phone to discover that it wasn’t Bryan, but his father.
β€œElle, we need to talk. Now.”
