A Second Chance

"are you okay?"

Sara

I woke up in a moving car. It was too dark to see anything. My heart started racing, the car jumped, and I hit my head on the roof of the car. I held my head in my hands, and took deep breaths, trying to keep calm. His maniac laugh still in my head.

"Oh my god, are you okay?" A voice asked.

"Shhhh! Hey, are you okay?" Another voice repeated.

Suddenly, I heard screaming and yelling outside of the car. The car jumped a second time, and I hit my head again. So did another person.

"Who are you? Where are we going?" I asked.

This surely wasn't the first time I woke up in a dark moving car, but the screams outside were unfamiliar. I felt someone beside me shuffle in their seat, whispering "Oh, god" over and over again. Suddenly, something touched my hand briefly and a pain arose throughout my entire body, the feeling of slaps on my back.

"Ow." I winced.

"We're going to the hospital. You're hurt." A new voice said.

"Who are you?" I tried to look around in the darkness.

All I could see was the silhouette of the driver in the front of the car. I felt a hand on my face. I slapped it off, and backed away from the hand, bumping into someone in the process, making the pain in my back worse.

"Hey! I'm trying to stop the bleeding!" A fourth voice said.

"Oh, my bad. I suppose I should let you- a total stranger- touch my face then." I said sarcastically.

I heard someone giggle. Then, a loud sigh. Someone took out a phone, and shined the light on my face. I quickly covered my face with my hands, despite all the gooey blood on it.

"It's okay. We're not going to hurt you."
