there’s one thing about grant since the day she’d met him. he’s reliable. there. even when octavia spent the majority of their first months as friends and even together expecting the opposite, he’d shown her different. it’s why she can’t wrap her head around it when isabella’s principal phones her to let her know that no one had been around to collect bella from school. grant had been expected there nearly an hour ago.
by the time she’s got bella home and set with a snack, octavia’s called grant twenty times at least. he’s not answering, not always unusual but her angers fuming the longer the rings go unanswered. if he couldn’t help today — why not just admit that? they were fine. octavia could handle her responsibilities herself but.
hello?
brows furrow at the unfamiliar voice on the other line that finally answers. “ hello? who’s this? ” the nurse on the phone speaks and suddenly isabella’s cartoons meld with the ringing in her ears, trying to understand. grants at tondc general. he’d gotten to the hospital but was nearly unconscious by then. octavia doesn’t understand. can’t really put it all together and there’s not much they can tell her on the phone.
she’s quick to get kane from the floor down to agree to watch isabella because she can’t take her with. doesn’t know what she’s walking into but knows she has to get there. suddenly, the anger she’d felt melted into panic as she made her way to the hospital.
