There Was an Accident

Chaya reached down and grabbed her phone, quickly turning off the ringer.

Dad calling? He’s knows I’m in school.. She wondered. But she just shrugged it off as a mistake and went back to her homework.

A few minutes later she checked her phone again. 10 missed calls and 4 voicemails from Dad.. Something must be up.. Chaya quietly rose from her desk and walked up to her teacher. She asked for a pass to the restroom, which he gave her, and she sped-walked down the hall.

In the Girl’s room, Chaya listened to her voicemail first.

“Chaye, hunny.” Her dad’s voice. _“Call me as soon as you get this okay?” Her dad sounded a little bit desperate, so Chaya decided to call him instead of listening to the other messages.

“Hey, Dad.” She said into her phone.

“Chaya? Oh Chaya! I have something I need to tell you..” Her dad spoke quickly and clearly. “Your Mom was in a car accident this morning. I’m on my way to the hospital right now. Grandma will pick you up soon.”
