The teen sped throughout the town on her bike. The wind against her hair, freedom at her back.

Today was a good day.

It had been a very good day.

It was going to continue to be a good day.

And it will always be a good-

SKREECH

"Mother of!-" The teen exclaimed as her bike skidded to a stop. In front of her was a maroon Dodge Challenger, frozen in the middle of the road. She glared at the car, her grip tightening around her handles. It wasn't moving even though the light was green.

"OI! MOVE IT!" The teen yelled at the top of her lungs. When she yelled, a head popped out through the driver's seat window, glaring at the teen, which made them freeze up. But, as quickly as they came out, they put their head back in and sped away. The teen breathed out a sigh of relief before realizing the light had gone back to red, making them curse softly.

"Frag, frag, frag, frag, FRAG!!!" Olivia yelled as she sped through the town. "Wait...what am I doing?"

She skidded her Dodge Challenger to a stop, parking by the closest sidewalk there was. Her hand laid on the gear stick for a few moments before she erupted into a silent scream, frantically kicking her legs. How could this have happened? Why did this happen? Someone died. Someone died on such a beautiful day, well...it was beautiful at least. She didn't expect for this to happen, although it had become something she was accustomed to. But this death was different...it was closer...deeper...painful.

I mean, how could she have known that someone would die while she was driving? How could she have known she was going to feel an invisible force trying to claw its way into her chest? While. She. Was. Driving.

"Deep breaths, Liv, deep breaths," She muttered to herself, her hands now gripping the steering wheel as she took slow, but deep, breaths. Just then, a motorcycle zoomed past her and she felt something spark up inside her chest. Olivia froze, her mouth agape. That...That was a cybertronian...an ALIVE cybertronian....

"No fragging way." She slowly said. Her eyes drifted over to the steering wheel as her mind had an internal debate on whether to follow the motorcycle or not. After a few moments, she sighed, her mind finally making up the choice to not follow it...her...him...them?

"I do not get paid enough for this." She ran a hand down her face with an exasperated sigh. She looked down at her necklace with a glare, "Why are you doing this to me now!?"

Of course, she didn't get an answer.

Olivia sighed once again, putting a hand over her chest. It was still a little sore, but bearable compared to when it had hit her.

"MOTHERFRAGGER!!!" Olivia yelled as she violently pushed on the breaks to make her car stop. She had a death grip on the steering wheel as she breathed heavily. She started coughing, and definitely didn't miss the energon that came from her mouth. She immediately wiped it away, looking at it in horror. Her chest hurt. She felt like she had been stabbed. What just happened? Who died? And why did it hurt so much?

"OI! MOVE IT!"

Olivia started taking deep breaths again. She decided it would probably be best to go for a little drive, hopefully with no issues this time, to get her mind off of whatever happened. Man...she kinda wished she was there to greet the new ghost...AND ASK IF THEY WERE OKAY!!! Like, DAMN, that hurt!

Shaking her head, Olivia ignited her car's engine and drove out of the parking lot, absentmindedly tapping the steering wheel as she did so. However, she noticed that her breathing had gotten more shaky, which she cursed her body for. She leaned back in her seat as she continued to try and calm herself down. She kept driving, making sure to take note of all her surroundings as she felt herself finally start to calm down.
