Karma's A B!tch

Chapter One

Eric awoke that Friday morning by a petite girl poking his nose. "Bonk, bonk, bonk", she sang, grinning at his sleeping form. He opened his eyes, letting a small smile play across his lips. "Faye, what do you think you're doing?" he murmured, attempting to pull up the covers to shield his nose from more 'bonking'. No such luck. Faye yanked the covers back and cuddled up close to him, resting her head against his chest. "I'm waking you up in such a way that you find too cute to be mad at", she explained, her lips against his skin. She felt him chuckle in response. 

She sat up, stretching and yawning. "Up you get, or we're going to be late!" she chirped, clapping her hands. Eric squinted his blue eyes in thought, trying to remember if they had made plans for today. "We're not doing anything today though!" he answered, pulling himself out of bed. Faye threw some clothes across the room at him. "Secret last minute adventure time. Chop chop!" she announced before marching to the kitchen to make breakfast.

After breakfast, they were both showered and dressed, and making their way out of the apartment building. For a Friday morning in London , the street seemed quiet. Faye skipped ahead, humming to herself while Eric paused to button up his coat. She walked out into the empty road, turning around to call out to him. As she turned, her blonde hair flicked out from underneath her hat, spilling around her shoulders. He smirked at her. "Come on, lazy bones! Or we'll miss it!" she urged. He was about to walk towards her when it happened.

It happened too fast for him to run out and save her.

She was too busy laughing to watch his face fall.

She didn't notice the car coming in her direction
