Kellin.

An orange beam passed across my eyes, I squinted trying to find the source. My head was pounding, my face was sore and my wrist hurt bad.
My eyes slowly began to adjust, it was so dark, I tried to raise my hand but my fist slammed against something metallic,  cold and hard. A roof? My stomach lurched and my heart began to pound, trying to burst out of my ribcage.
Suddenly a surge of paralysis pulsed right through my body. A sudden break slammed me against the wall of the tiny box I was in, a deafeningly loud honk confirmed my darkest fears. Then another wave hit me, all I could think was "I'm going to die, I'm going to die." The last wave came right out of the blue - I couldn't catch a breath, my heart felt like it was going to burst. I was drenched in sweat and I felt sick. I thought I was dying. My body went into complete shock and I began to shake violently from head to toe. There was no time, no sound, no sense. Some moments later my body returned to me, I was able to catch my breath and move my hands. I could hear the humming of the still engine, we weren't moving. I could hear heavy traffic and taste the fumes. I felt around on the floor for something, anything to help me. My body felt heavily bruised and everything was sore. I scrabbled around and came across something small and cold, my phone! I tried to duck down a little lower but suddenly the car lurched forwards slamming my small frame into the back and knocking the phone out of my grasp. I heard the battery and casing break away from the device.
"Shit! shit! shit!" I whispered as I managed to roll back onto my back. I attempted to wiggle down into the bottom corner and reach down again, I first found the little battery back followed by the hollowed out phone. I fumbled around trying to fit the two pieces back together. I gave a small triumphant whoop as the pieces clicked into place and the phone awoke. Notification after notification loudly flooded to my phone in a loud frenzy of pings, pops and vibrations. There was another harsh break, I was able to steady myself this time. My shaking fingers dialed the ever familiar number.
"Kellin?!" The voice was quiet and croaky but behind the whisper I could hear the song of an angel, my angel, my Vic.
"Vic! I love y-" Clunk.
