When we got out of the cabin, the sky rained. David went to the car and told the driver to stall the cops while we escaped, and Reuben drove the car. I can already hear the sirens from afar. My heart jumped a little, knowing that we would be saved.

David and Reuben sat in the front seat, and Stephanie and I sat in the back.

When David said about having some fun, "This isn't the fun that I hoped for!" Stephanie exclaimed at David while he was shooting back at the cops.

The cops are chasing us, and I thought it's a good thing, but it's a bad thing, according to David, because he's shooting at them. Reuben drove the car uphill at high speed, and I'm surprised to know this mountain doesn't have dead ends.

"They said, live life a little dangerously," David said, smirking.

"Did they?"

"Hold on!" Reuben turned the steering wheel to the right at full speed, making us shift to the left side of the car. I grabbed the 'oh-shit' handle, so I didn't squash Stephanie.

"For Christ's sake, I'm getting nausea," I said while I covered my mouth from vomiting.

A gunshot went through the window of the car. And I bowed down, and I took Stephanie's head to bowed down, "Get down, you could get killed."

"Why the fuck is the cops are shooting at us! Don't they know that we're here?!" Stephanie grunted.

"Die motherfucker!" David laughed like a lunatic. He reloads his gun and continues shooting.

"You should be the one who dies, Myres!" Stephanie said furiously.

"Shit, that was the last ammo. Step on it, Reuben!" David commanded Reuben.

Suddenly I heard a popped sound from the car, "What was that?!" I asked.

"I think the wheel popped. Shit, I'm losing control," Reuben said while he's holding on to the steering wheel, "hold on again!"

I can feel the car wiggled to the right and left. Reuben stepped on the brakes, and the car slipped and flipped upside down. My head hits the window too hard, making me pass out.

When I finally regained consciousness. I only heard a sirens sound, and the door from my side opened. The person was calling for me, but I couldn't hear them. Thank God for the seatbelts because I'm hanging upside down on my seat. Blood ran from my head, dripping down to the roof of the car. I tried to move my head to see Stephanie's eyes still closed. I grasped her shirt and shook her body. I relief when she groaned in pain and opened her eyes.

Then suddenly, a hand startled me. It was reaching for my seatbelt, and I instantly grabbed it, "Hey, hey, it's alright, kid. It's me," they spoke. I look to my right to see my dad bloodshot eyes after crying. I let go of his hand and allowed him to get me out of the car.

My dad carried me in a bridal style. I look around the premises. I saw Detectives Ross and Arthur say the Miranda rights while handcuffing David and Reuben. I also saw Stephanie brought to the stretchers and went inside the ambulance. My dad lay me down on the stretchers, and the paramedics put me inside the ambulance. They put me on oxygen masks.

My dad keeps holding my hand on the way to the hospital. Then, I start to get sleepy. Ah, when was the last time I slept on a comfortable bed with a soft pillow? I tried to keep my open, but my vision was getting black.

Where am I?

I'm inside my room with. The posters are on the wall, and the desk lamp is shining my homework on the desk, my favourite guitar is sitting on the bed. I'm reading Rolling Stone magazine. I remember I always collect Rolling Stone magazine because I adore singers. I wanted to be a singer or anything in a rock band when I grew up.
