That's When it all Started.

The Beginning

"Hey Hayley" I hear a voice say from behind me.
"Hey Taylor, how are you?" I ask
"I'm great, still wanna go for a walk tonight?"
"Sure!" I say, then close my locker
We walk away from the lockers and head for the doors and then we run into Ryan and Conner.
"Hey" Taylor greets them
"Hey" Conner greets back "what are you two doing tonight?"
"Nothing" I quickly reply before Taylor tells them our plans
I look at Ryan and he's staring at the ground. "So, how are you, Ryan?" I say hoping he'll look up.
"I'm great now" he looks up and smiles at me.
"Ok........that's good, I think" I say hoping this gets less awkward.
"Hey we should go" Taylor tells me.
"Sure, bye guys, see you tomorrow" I say.
We walk out of the doors and say goodbye to each other.

When I get home I get a text saying: "U know, Ryan really likes u."
It's from Conner and I reply: " ah, really?"
I leave it at that and wait till 7pm comes. I hear a knock at the door and I get up from my bed and put on my hoodie. I answer the door and Taylor is there.
"Hey, you ready?" She asks
" yeah, I'm ready" I say and I walk out into the chill air and close the door behind me.
"Let's go shall we" Taylor says
"Sure" I smile at her
I hear my phone beep and I look at it, this time it's Ryan saying:
" hey, I know you're probably busy but I just wanted to know that I really like you and I was wondering if u want to go out with me??"
I stare at the message in disbelief, I show Taylor and she thinks I should so I do
I reply: "erm.....sure"
I put my phone in my pocket and we walk away from the house into the darkness of the night. We walk for a bit then Taylor speaks "so, you and Ryan huh"
"Shut up" I nudge her a little.
"Oh come on, we've know each other since we were three, 13 years ago, we can talk what we want"
"Yeah, ok, ok" I say
She starts telling me what she did after school and we both laughed.
I turn around and see two bright lights coming our way, fast. It was a car, on the footpath? My own thoughts weren't as quick as my brain as I grab Taylor's shoulders and push her out of the way.

Taylor's POV
I told Hayley what I did after school today and we both laughed. She turned around, I just thought she was looking at a tree or something, then I feel to strong hands grasp my shoulders and the next thing I know I've been thrown at a wooden fence. I was about to turn around and ask what the hell was that for I turn around and I see it, Hayley was getting me out of the way of a car, out of control. I scream "Hayley!!!" And it hits her before she can move. I hear a shatter of the windscreen but I don't hear brakes. I get up on my painful ankle and see my best friend lying on the ground, I looked at the car and then her again, her head smashed against the windscreen. I slowly crouch down, I check her pulse, it's really slow. I quickly grab my phone and call an ambulance and tell them everything. I hang up and look at Hayley, I scream" Hayley please, wake up, please, wake up!" I burst into tears. I hear the ambulance then see the flashing red and blue lights. They quickly get out of the van and a couple of paramedics look at me while the rest are with Hayley. I tell the blonde paramedic "please, leave me, I'm fine, just, please, help Hayley please" she replies
" I'm sorry I have to help you, they have everything under control, don't worry, your friend will be ok."
I look at the crowd of paramedics and think "this is all my fault, I will never forgive myself if anything happens, what if her family will hate me, what about her little sister, will she look at me the same way?"
