Ally's POV:

I was angry at myself, my head hurt, my arm was still bleeding slightly, I felt like I was drowning. My truck was still in the middle of the road and the boys were still working on getting it moved. The storm was still making its way through Oklahoma and who knows the amount of tornadoes everyone was now missing because of me.

Why didn't I just do this on my own? Why didn't I just pay attention to the road? Why did I let Jonas get in the car with me? My brain was racing with never ending questions and raising hatred for myself.

I felt like I was my 14 year old self again. It was the last thing I wanted to feel. I just walked over to Mobile lab and leaned against it.

"Dr.Romero? Are you alright?" Asked Tony as he made his way out of the van and over to me.

"Hiya Tony." I say as he stands next to me. "I've been better, how is the storm looking?" I ask while turning my head to look at him slightly.

"We aren't missing anything, it's all thunderstorms at the moment." He says and I nod and go back to watching The boys try to move my truck. "Don't be sad about the truck Dr.Romero, I'm sure the whole team will pitch in to get you a new truck." Tony said hopefully.

That was the last thing I needed, charity. I didn't deserve it, let alone need it. I wasn't dependent on anyone but myself, I could get myself my own car. I wasn't going to let myself be a damsel in distress any more than I already have.

I just looked at Tony and smiled kindly. Eddie had made his way into the driver seat of the suburban as Jonas, Bill and Dusty backed up and gave the truck one last check. Jonas Gave Eddie the go ahead to back the Suburban up and he did so. The tires struggled to get traction on the wet asphalt for a moment before finally backing up.

My truck was pulled across the road slightly but didn't go very far before getting stuck. Eddie kept trying to backup, which was only causing the tires to smoke.

" That's enough,You're gonna rip up the tires!" Jonas yelled at Eddie through the open driver window. Eddie stopped the car.

Eric and his team were still in the same spot as before waiting for us to move the truck out of the way. Team Vandan being around angered me, they just stood near their cars and did jackshit to help.

I watched as Jonas went over to the driver window and talked to Eddie. There was dry blood on the side of his face where his cut from yesterday had reopened in the crash. But it didn't seem to bother him. He was cut up and bruised and still was doing all he could to help me.

Jonas's POV:

The Silverado wasn't budging, which was frustrating. I looked at the truck then to the Suburban and just sighed. I looked at Bill and I could see the gears in his head turn as he tried to think of a solution.

Over by Mobile Lab was Ally and I gave her a soft smile to which she returned slightly.I couldn't read her exactly, but I knew she was letting her walls build again which I didn't really blame her for.

I walked over to Eddie who was still in the Sburban. He was trying to also figure out a way to get the truck to move.

"Eddie, do you think you can handle the truck for a moment? I'm Going to go check on Ally." I ask as I make my way up to the open window.

"Yeah, it's probably going to take Bill,Dusty and I a minute to figure out how to get this thing to move." Eddie responded while pointing to the truck frustratedly.

"Can you hand me my extra headset so you can radio me when needed?" I ask him and Eddie quickly reaches into the glove box to grab my spare headset. My other headset broke in the crash.
