Break Away (On Hold)

Chapter Four

The roads are really slick. I've never driven on icy roads before, and, now, as the tires on Rosemarie's old blue Beetle slides all over the place, I find myself holding my breath. My heart thumps with a slight turn of the car, and my knuckles become white around the steering wheel.

I force myself to take a deep breath and relax. I reach with one hand, the other still tight on the wheel, and turn the music up loud on a random channel.

Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" blares out of the stereo, and I try to sing along. If I could see more than two feet in front of me, I'm sure that I would catch some glares from other people. I learned a long time ago that it's not "appropriate" to have the radio in your car turned up all the way. I never understood why, because, let's face it... who cares? I don't. I'm just trying to concentrate on driving so that I don't slip off of the road.

Sticking the last piece of bacon in my mouth, I swallow with a loud squelch and lick my fingers. I come up to a four way stop, and I push on the break, slightly. It was really delicious. I mean, I've had bacon before, but this stuff was different. It was more juicy, not to crunchy, and-

As I resume driving, I notice another car, going way over the speed limit, coming up to the stop sign on my left. I realize that the person in the car isn't going to stop, and I step on the brakes hard. To late.

Oh shit, I think, right before the red Charger rams into the driver's side door.

Hey guys! Sorry for the short chapter. I thought it was an awesome cliff hanger, and I love to end my chapters with cliff hangers. Mwhaha!!! Don't worry, though. I had about five paragraphs more than this when I decided to post this part, so another update will come shortly. As always, love ya!
