Bringing Us Closer

Chapter 1 ;; The Accident

        Reaching up I wiped the tears from my face. How could I have been so stupid? I thought he loved me, he told me he loved me. Yet it turned out I was wrong. I was always fucking wrong! We had been together almost two years now and he had been cheating on me the whole time.

        How could I not have seen this? I was so fucking blinded by my feelings for him I couldn't see past what I wanted to see. I only seen the thing I wanted to see, knew the things he wanted me to know and believe.

        Now I noticed all the signs. They were always there, of course they were, I was just to blind to see.

        Letting out a mangled scream mixed with a sob I slammed my hands down on the steering wheel. I was being irrational, driving in this condition. I put to many lives at risk, including my own. With the state I was in, it never even occured to me. That is until it got to the point where I couldn't even see the gauges sitting in the dashboard in front of me.

        I had to pull over to the side of the road to dry my tears and get myself together. It wasn't safe to drive in this condition. So I don't know why I was.

        Leaning my head back against the head rest I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. My hands gripping the steering wheel in a death grip. I felt so foolish. Chad had played me. He used me, and when he didn't get what he wanted he turned to other means to get it. That pained me, he was only using me for sex and when he never got any he cheated. He stayed though... probably hoping to get into my pants. To be the one to claim that he had taken my virginity and then break my heart.

        That bastard!

     I needed to get home, I needed to be in the comfort of my mothers loving embrace. With my overprotective father shouting about how he was going to murder that boy, that no one ever hurt his little princess.

        A smile settled onto my lips at the thought of my parents. Their smiles that told me how much they loved me, how they would always be there to protect me, to hold me when I needed it.

        With that in mind I turned on my signal telling I was going to pull out back onto the road. After finding a safe place to do so, I began my drive home. I thought I had my emotions under control. I really did. Boy was I wrong, because as soon as I started driving again the tears started up. Taking a deep shaky breath I spotted a intersection ahead with stupid lights. I decided that I would pull up to the curb and call my mom to come pick me up after the intersection. It honestly sounded like the safest idea right now.

        Sadly it was a one lane intersection. Meaning a car couldn't pull up next to me, a line of cars had to sit and wait behind me in idle as the light turned red.

        I suppose it was safer that way, none of us had any clue what was about to happen. We were just going about a normal day in our lives. Tragedy strikes when we least expect it. I can say for a fact none of us expected what was about to happen.

        Maybe I was to caught up in my thoughts to get home, into my loving parents embrace. I'm not sure what it was. But I had no clue the truck was coming.

        The light had turned green, which meant I could go. I still had tears streaming down my face so I was trying to take it steady. Despite that though, a heavy duty truck slammed into my cars side.

        Screaming I gripped the steering wheel like my life depended on it, which it kind of did, as I was thrashed around inside the vehicle. I swear to god my car had been knocked up into the air at least a foot or two. The vehicle twirled spinning as it skidded to a halt in another lane a bit away from the intersection.
