Chapter 16:

[Gretchen's POV]

"Do you understand everything I told you?" Zayn asked worriedly. He was freaking out in the drivers seat and was fumbling his words.

"Zayn, babe." I patted his hand that was resting on the center console. "I understood the first time you told me. The second and third was just a refresher." I smiled and giggled with excitement.

"I don't know how you are excited about witnessing this stuff?" He shuddered and ran his hand threw his hair.

"It's been my dream for a while." I sighed in contentment and gathered my hair into a ponytail.

"The first time I was sucked into this business I was dead scared and I wet my pants." Zayn shuddered sheepishly and slammed his foot into the pedal. We were now on some mysterious dirt road behind a random neighborhood. The road was blocked off by a patch of weeds and trees that we had to navigate through.

"Zayn, TMI." I reassuringly patted his shoulder before giggling. His reply was an embarrassed nod.

We were now forty miles over the speed limit and I was anxious. This road was very long and all signs of life had disappeared as if they had never existed. A few dead trees were scattered throughout the vast open field.

"Zayn?" I questioned him as his foot pressed down on the pedal even harder. "Zayn slow down!!" I gripped the car door and braced myself as the car reached insanely high speeds. His eyes were focused on the road and he didn't look my way. We were well over 180 miles per hour and I was terrified.

"I'm sorry." Zayn yelled. "Don't hate me." He started crying.

"Sorry for what?!" Zayn was starting to scare me and I pushed my body against the car door in an attempt to get as far away from Zayn as possible.

"For what I'm about to do." He started shaking and looked me dead in the eye. "I love you and I'm sorry." Tears streaked his face and he never once looked away from me as he jerked the car to the right.

My hair whipped around as the car spun around and around. I winced in pain as the car fell over and began rolling. A large shard of glass dug into my thigh and I screamed in pain. Zayn's airbag inflated and he was barely affected. He just watched me in horror.

Next thing I knew I saw a tree directly in front of me and my body slung forward before the world went dark and my breathing slowed.
