Breaking the Barricades (Read by Joey Graceffa)

49: Saving Your Life

Joey POV

I sat staring at the red light in front of me, tears still in my eyes. I thought back to everything that had happened over the past few weeks. My train of thought was broken from an angry scream.

"Get back here you little bitch!" My eyes snap up and it seems as if everything goes in slow motion. I see Daniel's terrified face as he runs infront of me. I place my foot on the gear as the man chasing him appears. I slam my foot on the gas and ram into the man, having him roll overtop of the car. I slam on the breaks and open the passenger door.

"DANIEL! GET IN HERE!" I scream. Daniel whips around and looks at me before running to the car and getting in. I slam on the gas and drove off towards the house.

"Joey, don't go to the house, they'll expect us to go there." Daniel says. I nod and immediately change course going to my original plan.

"Where are we going?" Daniel asked.

"Boston." I reply and increase my speed slightly. Daniel relaxes a bit in the passenger's seat. I look in my rear view mirror and my eyes widen when I see a silver car come speeding up behind us.

"Hold on Daniel, we have company." I say as I push the gas as far down as it will go. The car accelerates and the car behind us also speeds up, gaining in us.

"Joey. What do we do?" Daniel asks worried. My eyes scan the road ahead and I see an exit ramp. A small smile plays on my lips as turn into the ramp lane and the car follows. We get closed to the ramp and then I swerve back into the main lane and the silver car behind us is a little too slow and starts speeding down the exit ramp. I smile at my creative thought.

"It's not over yet Joey!" Daniel yells as more cars start gaining on us. I feel panic wash over me as I see a train approaching the crossing ahead. I pray to every god out there as I risk both of our lives and speed up. The cars seem to catch onto my plan and also speed up. We reach the tracks and cross them. I watch in the rear view mirror.

"That's the leader and the rest of the gang in the other car behind us!" Daniel screams out. I look one more time just to see the car get smacked my the train causing an explosion and the train to fly off the tracks. I immediate pull out my phone and dial 911.

"Hello, you have reached 911, please state which services you are in need of and your location." The operator said.

"I need ambulance, police and fire on Old LA Highway Rd." I say.

"Thank you can you please describe what happened?" The operator asked.

"We were being chased by a gang in a car and they attempted to out run the train but it hit them. The car exploded and the train flew off the tracks." I said.

"Thank you sir, please stay on the line if it is possible and wait for emergency crews to arrive."

I pull my phone away from my ear the screen lights up I look at my battery percentage

64%

"My battery is at 64%, I'll be able to stay in the line." I say.

"That's good sir." The operator says. I breathe out as I hear sirens in the distance.
