I woke up, startled on the couch. That was a weird dream, it seemed so real.

I was in a car with a boy, and his mom and my mom were in the front. His mom was driving the car. I didn't know where or what we were doing.

When something jumped out in front of the car. It came from the woods, next to us. Making his mom, Grace, lose control.

Wait, I remember her name, Grace. Wasn't that my mom's old best friend?

That thing that jumped in front of the car. It looked human, but why were we leaving? I take a calm breath.

Did Grace die? What happened?

Grace lost control and then in a second we hit a tree. The steering wheel hit her so hard in the chest, that her heart stopped in a instant. It didn't start up again.

So she did die, but why were we leaving? What happened? Before getting in the car, please remember.

Wait this wasn't a dream, it was a memory. I need to calm down, fresh air!

I walked outside, taking deep breaths. I started to calm down, but only some. I was in a car crash!
