My eyes close as my car starts to skid. I was scared and this accident is my fault, I should have been more careful. Autumn. If I didn't survive this, she would lose me and I would lose her.

 The car comes to a stop with a strong jolt. Glass shatters and I see Sylvie crash through the windshield. I wake up from my stupor, my hands release themselves from the steering wheel. 

Go to Sylvie.

Tell her to lie still. 

Take Sylvie to the hospital.

 Go home to Autumn. 

I fall to my knees in front of Sylvie, panting; I have to be careful. It's only now that I realize that I had knocked over a power pole that is now lying on the wet ground. It's starting to rain harder.

Don't get electrocuted.

Sylvie is unresponsive. I check for her pulse. Thank God her heart is beating. I turn her as carefully as possible into the recovery position on her side. I stay crouched next to her and dial 911 on my cell phone. A woman answers. She asks me questions, all of which I answer as calmly as possible. When she told me to stay on the call and that the ambulance would be coming soon, I wanted to get up. I trip and fall into a puddle.

 After that everything is black.
