Amethyst's POV
I made my way back to the room where the woman was.
"Madam, there was an emergency so I need to go immediately. I'll be sure to check back again soon" I told the woman and she nodded in understanding.
"That's fine. I'll see you soon again, miss Wright" the woman said and I gave her a smile and waved goodbye before I rushed out.
I got in my car, started it and drove off immediately.
I put on my airpods and dialed Amara's number again.
"Amy"
"Hey, Ara. I'm driving to you now, okay? You can talk to me while I'm on my there so I know that you're doing fine" I said softly.
"Okay, Amy"
"How are you feeling, bub?" I asked her.
"Drained. I feel drained, Amy"
She's crying again.
I'm guessing that wasn't a very good question.
How stupid.
"Take calming breaths, bub. Take calming breaths" I reminded her.
I heard her doing some breathing exercises.
"That's right. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. You're doing great, Ara" I encouraged her.
She continued with her breathing exercises and I drove faster to get to the airport.
I talked to her more to calm her and let her know that she's doing fine until I get there.
After about a 20 minute drive, I arrived at the airport.
"Okay, Ara I'm here now" I told her as I got off my car.
My eyes roamed around the area to find Amara.
"Amy!"
I followed where the voice came from and immediately saw Amara as she ran to my.
"Ara" I said in relief as I caught her in my arms for a hug.
She cried and sobbed on my shoulder as I caressed her back.
I don't know what exactly is happening but if it involves something about home, I know that it isn't very good.
And that's based on experience.
"Shhh it's okay. I'm here now, Ara. I'm here now. Your big sister is here now" I cooed and she slightly tightened her hug around me.
"I'm so scared, Amy" she sobbed and I kept caressing her back as I whispered soothing words to her.
After she finished crying, we got her stuff and I loaded it to my car while she was on the shotgun seat.
I finished and got in the driver seat before putting on my seat belt and starting the car.
"Do you want to grab something to eat?" I asked her and she nodded as she held her stomach.
"Okay. What do you want?" I asked again.
"McDonalds" she said and I chuckled and nodded.
"McDonalds it is" I said and we drove off.
*kriiing kriiing
My phone rang and I took it from my pocket without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Miss Wright, this is Alice. I just wanted to let you know that I'm getting off work now"
"Okay, Alice. Thank you for your hard work today" I said.
"You're welcome, miss Wright. I'll see you again tomorrow"
We ended the call.
I glanced at Amara for a moment but she seemed to be in a daze.
"Ara" I softly called her name.
No response.
"Ara" I tried again.
Still no response.
"Amara" I called once more and she finally looked at me. I gave her a worried look.
"Does Ady know that you're coming here to New York?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"No. No one knows I'm here except you" she said barely above a whisper. I sighed.
This has never happened before.
But I guess it's about time that she ran away from home.
I mean I did it when I was 18 after all.
But Amara was nothing like me.
She was the purest of the 3 of us.
She's only 3 years younger than I am but we still pretty much baby her.
She is after all the youngest child.
"We'll need to call and tell him later on that you're with me, okay? We can't lie nor keep a secret like this from Ady" I told her and I saw how fear spread through her face.
I reached out to hold her hand.
"He won't tell, Ara. Ady would never. We just need to assure him that you're safe" I told her and she took a deep calming breath and nodded.
I gave her a soothing smile.
We arrived at a branch of Mcdonalds and ordered takeouts through the drive-thru.
Amara ordered awfully a lot while I ordered myself an iced coffee.
She devoured her food in the car and ate her food happily while we drove to my place.
We finally arrived and I instructed Amara to go inside first as I took her stuff from the back.
I went inside with her luggage and saw her waiting for me by the elevator door so we went in together.
"You can go on ahead and wash up then rest. I'm sure it was a long flight. I'll call Ady while I get you settled in so you just rest, okay?" I said and she nodded.
"Thank you, Amy. You're the best big sister in the whole entire universe" she said and I chuckled.
The elevator door opened and we both got out then headed for my apartment.
I opened the door and we both went inside.
I brought Amara's luggage in the guest bedroom and I handed her the towel that she uses from whenever she and Ady would visit that I had kept in one of the closets.
"Go on in and take a relaxing shower while I get your stuff fixed and give Ady a call" I said.
"Okay, Amy. Thank you" she said and gave me a peck on the cheek.
Amara went to go to the bathroom while I opened her luggage to settle her in and dialed Adrian's number while I'm at it.
"Hello, Amy?"
"Hey, Ady. I'm calling to let you know that Ara is with me. She's safe and you don't have to worry anymore. Don't tell the parents though" I told him.
"Thank ghad. Did she say why she suddenly came to you?"
"Not yet. I'm letting her take her time to tell me because when I picked her up from the airport, she was an emotional wreck" I said and I hear him sigh.
"Was it bad?"
"Very. I've only seen her cry that much when I left home 5 years ago" I told him with a sigh.
"Okay. I guess her being with you will make her feel better somehow"
"Hopefully. Anyway, I'll let you know whatever happens. But for now, do you have any idea why she suddenly ran away?" I asked him.
He was silent for a moment as if he was thinking.
"Maybe it was because of the engagement"
I closed my eyes tightly in frustration.
That.
"Okay. I get it now. I'll get back to you soon" I said trying to calm myself.
"Okay. Take care the both of you"
"We will. You should too" I said.
We ended the call.
I continued taking out Amara's clothes and transferring it to the closet in the guest bedroom.
Then a small piece of cloth fell to the ground as I was hanging the last piece of clothing.
I picked it up and it had something inside so I carefully unwrapped it.
My eyes widened in shock and Amara walked in the room.
She looked at me and at my hand and I saw how her eyes widened as well.
"You're pregnant" I muttered.
