Gone so wrong
Shattered
Shattered
Nat was with the twins, inside the hotel. She was just laying there, in the sand, hearing the ocean crashing on the shore before her. Being at the beach at night.. it brought something over you. Something unexplained, and it was doing it to her.
She starred up at the starlit sky, her hand over her cell as she debating calling Charles and Laura. See how they're vacation was going. But everytime she dialed, she couldn't go through it. Ended up canceling it and laying back down.
She did this atleast thirty times by now. But that was okay. Because she knew it would be a hard conversation to be had. She wanted to tell him--needed to tell him. Her heart did flips at the thought of it, and tears sprung to her eyes.
How could she tell the man.. she wanted more than anything in this world, that she was unfaithful to him? She closed her eyes, letting out a ragged breath. Sitting up slowly, she wrapped her arms around her legs as she brought them to her chest. Her chin resting on her knees as she starred out into the ocean.
Hearing an odd ringtone, she looked down at her phone. Out of area Her brows knitted together as she picked it up. "Hello?" She said softly. "Mrs Fox?" She gave a nod, then quickly realized whoever it was, couldn't see her. "Yes." She replied lightly, perking a brow.
"Um.. I'm a nurse at Rome memorial hospital."
Colette's heart skipped a beat. "Yes?" She urged the woman to go on. "What.. what's.. did something happen?" She asked, hurriedly. "There's been an accident.." She felt like she couldn't breathe.. couldn't move.. "Charles--my husband, and my.. my daughter. They're okay?" She paused, waiting for a reply for a second. "They're okay right?" She asked, tears immediantely springing to her eyes.
"Mrs. Fox.." She began "Your husband.. We tried. We did all we could, but.." There was an audible sigh. "I'm sorry..." She finally said. "He's gone.."
Gone? How could... How could he be gone? Just.. gone? She placed her hand over her mouth as her mind raced. "My daughter? Laura... Is she okay?" She asked through her tears. "She's.. stable. She's had major trauma to her head... I think it's best you come to Rome.."
Stable.. what the hell does that mean anyway? That's she stable.. but not.. gone? Gone.. She shook her head, closing her eyes tightly. Not knowing what to say, she just hung up and ran towards the hotel.
Slamming the door closed behind her, not caring if the twins woke up from it. She went to Natalie and shook her awake. "Nat.. Nat!" She cried. "I gotta go.. I gotta go to Rome.. Can you.. can you take the twins back to New York?"
