Chapter 10

Over the next week Matt was discouraged that he couldn’t get a hold of Tiffany. Every time he called her, she wouldn’t answer her phone. He needed to make sure she was alright, but she wouldn’t let him in. The weekend was upon him and he decided he had to take his chance and stop by at her house. Before he left his apartment though, he heard his cell ringing. With the hopes that it was Tiffany he quickly answered. “Hello?”

“Matt, is that you?” He could barely make out the words of someone that appeared to be crying. “Matt, it’s your grandma.”

He couldn’t believe she was calling him, but it felt good to hear her voice. It was his paternal grandma and despite not having much of a relationship with his father, she was a constant part of his life. “Hey, grandma…it’s good to hear your voice.” He sat down on the chair and waited for her to answer him. The silence on the end was interrupted by bouts of breathing heavily, and sniffling. He could definitely tell she was crying. “Grandma; what’s wrong?”

“I…I’m…sorry…to…call…you…” her voice trailed off as she blew her nose. His interest was growing as he waited for her to continue. “It’s your father…”

His heart sank. “What’s wrong with my father?”

“He was in a terrible car accident this morning. They don’t expect him to make it.”

When the words finally tumbled out, he could feel his heart racing. “When…what happened…where?”

“I don’t know all the details, but he’s in surgery right now. His one lung has been punctured and he’s broken both his legs. He has countless fractures, and he might be paralyzed. He hopefully will be out of surgery soon, but I thought you would like to know.”

“Yes, thank you for calling.”

“I was hoping…if you could get the time away, that you might come out here. You could bring your girlfriend with you; I would love to meet her. I really need some family around, and you’re all I’ve got.” His heart fell; he didn’t even think about the fact that he told her he had a girlfriend in New York, and that was why he had to leave. When he got settled, he was going to tell her that they broke up; he never got the chance. “Do you think you can come?”

He wanted to be there for his grandma and he would never forgive himself if he didn’t see his dad. He just didn’t know what he could do about the other situation. “I will catch the earliest flight that I can. When he gets out of surgery tell him I love him.”

“I will…Matt, thank you.” He hung up the call, his heart was breaking for his grandma and he had to be there to help her get through it. He just hoped that he made it before his dad got worse. “Please God,” he prayed. “Let me at least see him to say goodbye.”
