Caught.
(Jared's POV)
"Jared, where the hell are you? Sofia just called me. She's in pain, her stomach is hurting..."
I froze at my mother's words, as shivers ran down my spine. I didn't realize when an exclamation left my mouth. "What?"
"You have to leave wherever you are, and whatever you're doing and go home! Nothing must happen to-"
That was all I heard as I dropped the call. I was immediately thrown into a state of panic, as I scrambled to gather my clothes on the floor.
"What's wrong?" Arielle's voice sounded behind me. I hadn't realized when she left the bed. My mind was filled and racing with worst-case scenarios.
"You're making me scared. What happened? Who was on the phone?" Arielle's voice broke into my thoughts again. This time, she was now standing in front of me, her face filled with worry.
I tried to speak, but my words were jumbled. "Sofia...my mother called...she's in pain. Her stomach hurts."
Arielle's eyes widened in alarm. "What's happening to her?"
I shook my head, my heart racing."I have no idea. I have to go and find out. I have to go back home."
"That's right. In that case, I'll come with you-"
I shook my head, hands shaking as I finished dressing. "No, stay here. I'll handle it..."
And without waiting for a response, I grabbed my car key and rushed out of the room. I ignored the elevator, and opted for the stairs, taking it two at a time.
My heart thudded in my chest as I got to my car and sped into the highway. I navigated the road, not caring about traffic or police. All I wanted was to get to Sofia as soon as possible, no matter what it took.
