“Oh my God, I need to call my parents,” I said, having just remembered. “Um, do any of you have a cell phone I could borrow?”

“Yeah, here,” Nick said, taking his iPhone out of his pocket and handing it to me. I called my house and mom answered. It was going to be hard to explain this to her without her flipping out. “Hi, mom?”

“Yeah, honey. Is everything okay?” There was already worry in her voice.

“Mom,” I said, “Don’t worry. I’m fine. Everything’s okay. But, I was at the groccery store and it got robbed. They had guns and everything. We ran away from them, and everyone is fine. But, I broke my ankle.”

“What?!!?!! Emily, where are you?!?!?!! I’m coming to get you right now!!! Are you sure you’re okay!?!” I thought she was about to have a heart attack.

“Mom, mom calm down. I’m on my way to the hospital. An ambulance came and picked me up. I met a couple guys that are on the ambulance with me. They saved my life.”

“What!!!? What are you talking about!?!! Are you okay?!?!” She was rambling.
