"So you mean Eddie is very rich"
"I'm telling you"
You needed to see the house yourself , the two girls gossiped.
But bestie, then why doesn't he show off?
That's exactly what I have been asking myself since I came back.
No friends to hail him...he doesn't break rules.
Exactly that's the point...
So.... Yvonne said smiling like a Cheshire cat.
What now , she asked suspiciously.
Don't you think you guys are perfect for each other.
Yvonne!!
Please don't go there..
Nevertheless, I've got things to do.
"Bestie, I just remembered I haven't heard from my mom for a while".
Seriously?
"Ellie you should stop being nonchalant about important things.."
Nonchalant? Ellie asked already pissed off.
Please don't piss me off.
Anyways I just texted her , she hasn't reply.
Ellie, I've been planning to tell you.
"I'm going to visit my mom during this break"
"I thought you were going to stay in school with me" she said with a sad face.
One thing brought the two best friends together.They lost their dad , which made their friendship stronger cause they felt the same emptiness of a fatherly presence.
"Okay cool"
"I'll have to sleep early"
"Remember I'm going to that guy's house"
That guy ?
"Yeah, Eddie"
Wow!
What?
Don't you feel it?
Bestie feel what?
The names... Eddie and Ellie.
Please don't start.
Good night she said snatching the blanket from Yvonne exposing her long legs.
Gosh!! Ellie you will definitely come round.
"That's not possible, what are you saying"
"I can see it in your eyes"
Blah blah blah...
she said covering her ears with the pillow.
"That's your problem"
Good night bestie..
*********
Beep ...beep..
Mrs.Cora phone rang at the hospital.
It was 7:42 am, Ellie decided to call her mom since she hadn't replied.
It's unusual of mom, let me try again.
Beep..beep..the phone rang again.
'Hello' a nurse answered the call.
"Sorry please can I speak to Mrs.Cora" she asked suprised.
"I'm sorry that can happen"
Why ma'am?
She's in the emergency room.
Emergency!! Ellie screamed.
When? How?
Please come to St.Mary hospital, the nurse calmly replied.
*****************
She changed into a black dress without checking herself she picked her phone and ran out.
'The door' she ran back locking the door.
Yvonne had stepped out earlier to get a few things before she would go home for the break.
(At the hospital)
****
Nurse please I'm looking for Mrs. Cora.
I think she was admitted yesterday night, she panicked as balls of sweat ran down her face.
Just go to the Emergency ward, by your left.
Thanks ma'am , she said as she hurried away.
Mom!!
Tears dropped from her eye.
Ellie was a strong girl not moved by things.
But now she was already in tears.
'Please am here' as she held her hand.
Nurse please what happened?
'My dear just calm down, she collapsed yesterday and was rushed here by a man. He claimed to be your driver'
'After some tests, we discovered she has heart failure, she will need a transplant'
A transplant?
Ellie said her head spinning.
She fainted....
