Andromeda:

"Andromeda!", I hear my mothers voice yell through the bedroom door, filled with worry. Quickly I get up off my bed, getting a shiver as my feet hit the floor. My hand grips tight around the door handle, and instantly I'm met with a worried, guilty looking Sally Jackson. In her hands held a white, cordless phone, clutching it, making her fingers and knuckles ghostly white. Looking back up, I see in her eyes, pity.

"Andromeda", she starts,"the hospital phoned." I nod, hesitantly, knowing what was about to come next probably wasn't going to be pretty. I gesture for her to continue and she does.

"The hospital phoned, they were calling for you. The nurse that was on the phone told me they had a young man come in with severe injuries, and that it looked like he was going to have to go for surgery. They think it might be D-". Angrily, I cut her off, not wanting to her what she was about to say next. Tears well up in my eyes, making my vision blurry.
