Scarlett's secret ~ (Finding A Home)

chapter 27

Sarah and I decided that we would rotate who will drive between every week until school was out. From my house to her house was exactly half a mile, which took us 10 minutes walking from my house to her house.

It also was a good way to keep in shape. We both saved on gas. Which I didn't need to save on gas, but it helps Sarah out. We both really enjoyed doing this because we got to spend more time driving and spending time together. The person riding shotgun got to pick the music.

This week it was Sarah's turn to do the driving. During this week we ended up brainstorming ideals of what we could do for our mates for Valentine's Day since it was coming up pretty soon.

She wanted to do something special and that would be memorable for their first Valentine's together and I could understand that I kind of wanted to do the same for my mates knowing that they probably buy me a box of chocolate or some flowers and a card or even maybe take me out for dinner which we're all good things they were just really traditional and things you would expect to do.

We coming up with a great plan. We talked to Sarah's dad and ran it by him to make sure that he was okay with our plan. That Sarah could come over to my house and we would invite Isaiah over.

Sarah and I were going to make two chocolate cakes and decorate them for our mates. Then I would order pizza an have it delivered to the house. All of us could pick out a movie to watch then Isaiah could bring her home from my house to her house which was only a short distance.

Sarah told her dad she make sure she was home by 7:30p.m because it was still a school night. Her father agreed and said that sounded like a good plan and that she would be close by the house and she would be with other people.

Me and Sarah came up with the idea of ordering a pizza shaved as a heart and have it sent to her house the same time we order ours. Sarah will text her dad to tell him Happy Valentine's Day so that he's not left out. Now that we had that all planned out we wouldn't mention it to our mates until closer time to Valentine's Day.

Things was going good for everyone and it seemed like things start to come down again. It seemed like there was a lot going on in the last several weeks holidays, people moving, finding there mate, new jobs, birthdays and even promotions everything was good.

But you know that saying, all good thing must come to a pass or something bad will happen when there's to much good. Well I think that finally happened because on Saturday's game our team ended up losing against the Beavers by three points. But I was just grateful that it wasn't nothing too bad.

Even though our team was upset that they lost but they played a good game and everybody had fun that's what really counted. On the bright side our junior team was going to the Champion ships so the way I looked at it we were still in it for the win. Even if it was just our junior team in our town.

This week it was my turn to drive us back and forth to school. Sarah ended up coming down with a bad head cold and felt miserable. She called her dad and told him about it. He come to pick her up from school Monday at lunch.

She call me and said she had upper respiratory infection. The doctor gave her a meds and the next two day off of school. I told her to get some rest so she can get better and to call me when she's ready to go back to school. Later that evening the weather was getting bad and we had a strong Thunder storm came through our area.

It was earlier in the morning when both of the guys cell phones went off they had a house fire to go to in the upper valley. As they were gathering their stuff together to rush out the door I told Ben to take my Jeep just in case they needed the winch to drag some Williams out of the road because the Upper Valley houses had a lot of trees very close to the road and some of the houses in the Upper Valley were dirt roads. And with the weather being bad last night in early morning I figured they might have been some limbs that probably fail down.

He handed me his SUV keys and told me to take it to school, because they might not be back in time. I said that ok an I understand and for them to be careful out there. I gave both kisses before they rushed out the door.

They wasn't back before I left for school and the storm has quit outside before they left the house. I got in the SUV heading to school. I wasn't that far from our house going into town. When I noticed a black car start to Swerve off the road and was driving really fast before that.

By the time he realized it he was going off the road, he jerked his car to the left side. Slid right into the front part of my SUV knocking the rear end over on the right side shoulder.

Now my suv is completely off the road and the driver's car they hit mine so hard it slung his car back around in front of mine on my side of the road.

I didn't really have a whole lot of time to react to anything. He was driving way too fast and over correct his vehicle. Good thing I was wearing my seatbelt because I would have probably went out the window.

The airbag ejected and flung me back wards against the seat. My right leg was in a lot of pain. The driver side door was jam up and I couldn't open it. I got a glass shar and start to cut at the seat belt until I cut through it.
