Bumping Accident | Englot

Chapter 20

Charlotte's POV

I've been sitting on Engfa's bed for the last 30 minutes unable to move. I can't get the look in her eyes out of my mind. She looked so hurt, not just for herself but for me.

She probably thought she hurt me. I don't think she's in the house. I haven't heard any noises since I heard the garage.

I slowly get up from her bed and notice little spots of blood on the floor from her lip. My eyes start to water, and I'm on the verge of tears, but before anything, I need to figure out where she is.

I open the door and walk downstairs, calling out her name, but I don't hear anything. I check the kitchen and the living room, but she's nowhere to be found.

It's close to 9 now, and she's still not back. Tina, Chompu, and Nudee gave me their phone numbers, so I'm going to call one of them. Probably Tina.

I dial her number and wait. "Hello?" "Hey Tina, this is Charlotte," I say.

"Oh hey Charlotte, is everything okay?" she asks, and the question makes me break down and start crying.

"N-no n-no, c-c-can y-you c-come to E-Engfa's h-house?" I stutter out while crying.

She quickly says yes and hangs up. I go and sit on the couch and let my thoughts take over. Before I know it, I hear the door opening. I jump up, thinking it's Engfa, but her three best friends walk in looking concerned.

Chompu sees me crying, so she quickly comes over and gives me a hug. "What happened? Where's Engfa?" Nudee asks after Chompu pulls away.

"We had a date today, a-and..." I can't continue and start crying again.

Tina walks over to me and gestures for me to sit down. She calms me down, and I start explaining everything but leave a few details out.

They already know what Liam did to me, so I explain everything, and when I'm done, the three of them look scared. Why scared?

"No, no, no, Chompu, go see which car she took," Tina says, and Chompu quickly moves toward the garage with Nudee behind her.

"What? Where did she go?" I ask Tina, but she doesn't answer me; she just squeezes my hand.

"She took the Porsche," Nudee says, and the looks the three of them have now scare me.

They look worried, scared, and mad at the same time.

"I thought she said she stopped," Chompu says angrily.

"We don't have time for this; grab your car keys, we're gonna go check," Tina says and grabs my hand, leading me out of the house to Chompu's car.

"Can someone please tell me what is going on?" I say a bit loudly once we get inside the car.

"You just have to see for yourself," Nudee answers vaguely.

"I will kill her once I get my hands on her," Tina says, and no one speaks after that.

I have no idea where we are going, but the place is out of town, towards the mountains. As we get closer, I see about a hundred cars parked outside and a lot of people behind fences.

We get out of the car and go up the stairs behind the fences to see better. No one has said a word yet.

When we get to the top of the stairs, I see about nine sports cars parked behind a line.

"We can't do anything now; they're about to start," Nudee says, which makes Tina curse.

"What is happening, please tell me," I question again. Tina sighs, "Engfa races," she answers. "What? What do you mean?" "Car racing; she says races make her calm down and get her mind straight," Nudee takes over and says. "But she stopped; since she's met you, she hasn't been to a single race," Chompu adds.
