All of a sudden, Piper's phone rang out loud. She answered the call just as fast as she could, without even looking who could it be.
"Bray--" Piper was about to utter her name when an unfamiliar voice answered on the other line. Her eyes grew wide and teary all of a sudden as her hand began to tremble in fear.
"Pie?" Riley asked, clearly worried as he stood up and looked at Piper. This gets Lucho's attention; he looks at them, still with a blank expression on his face.
The call ends, leaving Piper in tears and her jaw hanging open.
"Pie anong nangyari?!" Riley panicked seeing the reaction on Piper's face.
"N-naaksidente si Braylee, kailangan natin siyang puntahan!" Piper said desperately as she ran out of the door.

"Natawagan ko na ang mga kaibigan niya. Ikaw naman kasi eh! Ba't ka ba di nag-iingat?!" inis na sambit ni Apollo pero hindi nakikinig sa kanya ang walang kaemo-emosyong si Denver habang nag-aabang sa pinto ng X-ray room.
"Okay sana kung ikaw lang ang mapapamak kaso may Braylee kang kasama eh! At yung motor! Lagot ka--"
Biglang bumukas ang pinto at lumabas mula rito ang nakangiwing si Braylee habang nakasakay sa isang wheelchair. Hawak-hawak nito ang noong naka-benda pa. "Denbear naman eh, sabing wala akong bali sa buto! Bukol lang!"
Denver sighed in relief as he immediately knelt right in front of her. "Okay ka lang ba talaga? Wala bang ibang masakit sayo?"
Braylee sighed and smiled. "I'm a strong--"
Denver cut her off. "I know but shit-- I'm really really sorry. I should've been more careful, I should've driven slower. I should've--"
"Ikaw? May masakit ba sa'yo? Baka mamaya ikaw yung may bali diyan? Yung arm mo oh, ang laki ng gasgas! Apollo pagsabihan mo nga 'to! Kanina ko pa 'to sinasabihang magpagamot muna kaso sobrang tigas ng ulo!" Nakabusangot na sambit ni Braylee sabay turo sa binata.
Denver suddenly pulled her into a hug and in shock, all she could do was pat his back awkwardly and whisper. "Denbear, don't you dare kiss me. Apollo's here, there's people around. If you kiss me, I swear i'll never send you memes again."
Denver could only chuckle as he faced her. He stared at her face and smiled.
Braylee couldn't help but chuckle back, looking at him in the eyes.
A cough was suddenly heard, it was Apollo. "May utang ka pang sapak," Apollo said as he coughed again.
The smile on their faces vanished, especially Denver's. Braylee looked Apollo, her eyebrows furrowed. "Sinong may sapak?" she asked innocently.
"Si Apollo, si Apollo ang may sapak," Denver said, a grin formed in his face as he continued to look at Braylee.
