I.. I'm so sorry" she fumbled this sentence out and her cheeks glowed red of embarrassment and she looked away. " it's ok, I bumped into you" the man said without any hesitation. he took his left hand and slid underneath her chin and made her look at him. "are you okay" he asked in a very concerned voice. "ye..yes" Kiara took a few steps back. The man politely held at his hand and spoke his name. "my name is Ashton, but you can call me Ash" Kiara looked at his hand and gently took it "my name is Kiara" Ashton looked at her and smiled he thought what a gorgeous name it was "will Kiara it was nice to meet you I hope to see you again" the man or Ashton left without saying a other word leaving Kiara standing next to the heat of the food and her cheeks she decided to go ahead and get a box to go and leave as soon as she could. when she paid the man for her food and she walked out of the store and into her car she sat there, she just sat there. and what felt like hours she seemed to have nodded off and fell into a dreamful sleep. Kiara sat in the waiting room with tears wanting to go down her face she was fighting her anxiety in her legs were shaking 200 miles per hour and her heart was racing but it felt like it was stopping. she waited for the news, 4 hours of waiting felt like an eternity. where are the doctors, where are the nurses. as she was fighting to hold back the tears that threatened to stream down her face like a waterfall in the night she wanted to scream this couldn't be the end. when one of the doctors walked in, Kiara stood straight up and he just looked at her with empty eyes. those empty eyes told Kiara her worst nightmare had came true. Kiara felt like a bird stuck in a rotting cage to never be set free. the doctor shook his head and quietly said "I am so sorry" her knees buckled from underneath her she felt the pressure of the world crush her into non existence. Kiara let out of blood curdling scream and fell to her knees crying. she grabbed a hold of the necklace that swung from her neck, and after what seemed like forever she finally found the strength to pick herself up from the floor and look at the doctor and was choking back her words she asked to see her. the doctor took her back into room 107 where her mother's lifeless body lay. there was wires and tubes that lay all around her she looks like a science experiment gone wrong. she hated seeing her mother that way. she sniffled and wiped away the tears that stained her cheeks she walked up to her mom and held her hand. that's when her voice begin to break the tears pooled back in her eyes she laid her head on her mom's chest and just hugged her. "I'm so sorry mama" she cried. after about 30 minutes or so the doctors came and tapped on Kiara's shoulder and told her that she had to go to the morgue. it was now up to Kiara to figure out if she wanted her mother cremated or buried. Kiara look at the doctor said "give me a little time and I'll get back to you" in the end she remembered her mother asking her to cremator because she did not want to be in the ground so that's what Kiara did. Keira shot straight up through her hands on the steering wheel and fought to catch her breath. with her breathing labored and her hands shaking she looked outside and realized it was dark. "what time is it" she picked up her phone and the time read 10:23. "s**t" she laid her head on the steering wheel and just cried. out of all the memories and flashbacks that was the one she had to think of, the night she said goodbye to her mother. would she ever forget that night. she didn't want to but she did at the same time. her heart ached. there is a knock on the window that startled Kiara and she jumped and let out of scream and then when she realized who it was. Ashton was standing there. Kiara rolled down the window and looked at him with confusion. "Hi" her voice was kind of squeaky but she still smiled. "hello... um" Ashton seemed confused as he didn't understand why she was still in her car. "are you ok" Kiara simply laughed and shook her head. "yeah, no I'm fine" "Are you sure, because you have been sitting her for like 5 hours" Kiara looked around the parking lot was empty and she kind of just saw it and laughed at herself when she looked back up but Ashton he was smiling at her.. "you're not going to kill me are you" Ashton gave her a weird look and laughed "No, I'm not gonna kill you" She let out at awkward chuckle in a sigh of relief "do you need a ride home?" Ashton asked out of curiosity and Kiara looked at him and tried to start the car. and after a few tries she looked up at Ashton and laughed. "I think I fell asleep with the car on and killed it" Ashton opened the driver side door and helped Kiara out of it. "I can call the car rental place tomorrow and inform them and they'll come pick it up" sure looked at him with curiosity and wondered "why is he helping me, he doesn't even know me" is Kiara powered into Ashton's truck she looked at the window and smiled. she could see the stars, something she couldn't see in New York to her this was an amazing sight.
