Screaming, I braced myself for the collision I knew was coming. It didn't happen right away. I flipped upside down three times before I finally felt the car stop. Everything was fuzzy, I couldn't see straight and my body felt numb.
I don't know how long I had laid there before I heard someone approaching. I tried to yell for help but nothing came out. I saw a shadow of a person look in through the side of the passenger side door.
Why are they not helping me? I thought.
I heard a girl speak, "If I can't have him, neither can you bitch."
I got a razor sharp stab of pain in my stomach. It was so strong; I was seeing stars, and then nothing after that.
When I woke up, my whole body hurt. It was almost unbearable but something was pulling me from my sleep. I tried to open my eyes but they were just too heavy. I tried to concentrate and figure out what was going on, where I was. I felt like there was something gagging me; there was pain in my stomach, chest and right leg, lots of pain. I remember driving; it was really raining hard. There was a bad crash, my car flipping. Someone was there looking into my car and then there was darkness.
I felt something warm run down my face. I tried to reach up and wipe it away but my arms were too heavy. I heard humming and knew Hunter was here with me, wherever I am.
"Sweetheart, why don't you go home for a few hours? You could shower, grab some food and try to get some sleep? I will stay here with MacKenzie and the baby. They both need you to be strong for them." I knew that voice; it was my mom's, but what was she talking about a baby for?
A violent stab of a pain hit my head. I was trying desperately not to give back into the darkness.
The humming stopped and Hunter's voice spoke, "I'm not leaving them, I can't."
I heard little whimpers of a cry, and then he went back to humming.
I felt so confused. I tried opening my eyes again but they were still too heavy. I felt someone grab my hand. I tried to squeeze it but I didn't have the strength.
"Oh baby girl." mom said, rubbing circles on the back on my hand with her thumb. "You have to wake up your boys need you."
My boys, does she mean my brothers? Another flashback came back to me. I was on my way to meet Hunter somewhere. Why was I meeting him?
The pain was increasing and the pull into the darkness was becoming too much to fight.
The noise in the room started phasing out except for a beeping noise.
"Baby girl, if you can hear me squeeze my hand." Mom said.
Beep.
I tried to squeeze but I just couldn't.
Beep.
I felt a warm fingers touch my face and gently rub from my temple to my jaw and back again. "CC, please open your bright blue eyes for me baby."
Beep.
"I need you; I can't do this on my own." I heard him sniffle. "He looks just like you. Same little nose, head full of dark curly hair." He sniffled again. "I love you baby."
Then there was a long beep and the blackness finally took over.
