The Boy with Broken Arm and the Girl with Broken Spirit

Prologue

The party was dying down anyway I reasoned with myself. There was no real need to stay any longer.

I trudged down the middle of the dark country road and pulled my rain jacket close to my body. I could barely see ahead of me, the rain was making this already dark night feel darker.

Yes, it would've been nice if I could've gotten a ride from Dext but there was no real need to pull him out of the party. Especially since he was finally getting somewhere with that blonde from his science class.

But I just couldn't stay, not after what I was forced to see. I just needed to leave that party, that house, and now this awful night.

While Dexter was attempting to flirt with Gretchen Brown. I was watching Eli Dillard stick his tongue down Sophi Wills' mouth.

Sophi with the beautiful hazel eyes and long dirty blonde hair. Sophi who sang in the church choir and was on the honor roll. Sophi with the perfect smile and full lips. Sophie who was so unbearably beautiful it hurt.
Sophi Wills was the girl I loved, and I spent the whole night watching Eli Dillard eye fuck her.

So, I left the party with no ride and no umbrella. I rather be soaked out here than stuck watching that shit.

She deserved better than that. She deserved so much better. He couldn't care less for her. He used her so painfully carelessly. If it was me I would've taken her somewhere where there wouldn't be the whole school staring at her and judging her. If it was me I would have done it right.

But god damn it, why was I such a coward? Why couldn't I ever seem to find a way to talk to her?

It was questions like these that seemed to plague my mind. Why?

I continued down the road being drenched down to the bone. Only a few more miles till I'm home I reassured myself. Then when I get home I can cry myself to sleep I think bitterly.

I've loved Sophie Will ever since I was eight years old. And as I live and breathe, I don't think I'll ever stop.

Suddenly, a loud car screech echoed in the night and out of nowhere, a blue truck appeared out of the darkness. It screeched against the road and I stood there like a deer in headlights frozen in place.

Almost in slow motion I see it barreling right towards me, so I close my eyes and brace myself.

I felt the impact of the truck hitting me instantly. I screamed out in terror rather than pain, my body flew backward and my left arm takes the impact of the fall.

I screamed now only in pain no longer even registering the rain engulfing me. My arm throbbed and tears spilled from my eyes. My eyes in an instant flung shut.

"Spencer!" A voice shouted.

I hear someone run towards me and come to my side.

"Shit. Shit. Shit. Spencer are you alright." the voice said breaking at the end.

All I can do is scream.

"Oh my god Spencer I'm so sorry." the voice said beginning to cry.

"It's gonna be ok, it's gonna be ok." the voice repeated saying it more to themselves than anyone else.

The voice is silent for a moment. I continued to moan out in pain. Then I heard it again as it plain and clearly said.

"Yes, I'm on Colbern road with Spencer Cadwell and he was hit by an unknown driver in a..." The voice paused for a moment.

"A rundown blue truck with no license plate." The voice called out.

My arm is in a continuous cycle of stinging and throbbing. I hear my voice scream out again. It feels almost involuntary like I'm not in control.

"Yes, the driver fled the scene." the voice said suddenly gaining my interest. Wait what was happening? Why were they lying?

"Oh um," the voice paused "Sure it's Naomi Parker-Jones."

My eyes shoot open and my eyes land on a pair of equally scared green eyes. There sat in front of me was Nomi Parker Jones, a girl from my school, a girl who was Sophi's best friend. Suddenly, the shock from the realization that it was Nomi Parker Jones who had hit me and the pain from my broken arm was all too much, and I felt my eyes slip close and darkness fade in.
