Chapter Twelve

Edited

    I walk into the road away, from the party. Mom and Dad are coming to pick Elena I up from this party we attended. I stumble into my sister, causing her to give a small giggle as she catches me.

    Mom and Dad's car pulls up down the road.

    "Try not to let it show," She whispers to me, letting out another giggle. I nod and try to look sober. We start heading towards the backseat of the car. I open the door and get in. Once we are buckled, they turn the car around and start heading home.

    "Thanks for picking us up," I thank. I hear Dad sigh. No point in trying to hide my drunkness now. We start crossing Old Wickery Bridge.

    I lean my head back, smiling lightly at the good feeling of riding in a car. I gasp as the car suddenly swerves. A loud crash! follows as we smash through wood. For a moment, I feel like I'm floating before suddenly feeling the weight crash down on me.

    "Gabby!" Elena gasps, forcing me to look down. Water rushes up to my ankles.

    "It's okay," Dad reassures, "Everything will be alright." Dad reassures. The water is at my knees now.

    "Mom? Dad?" I gasp, feeling tears form. I gasp as the cold water reaches my shoulders at an alarmingly fast rate.

    "Gabby! Hold your Breath!" Elena commands, grabbing my hand. Is this going to be the end? I take a deep breath, feeling the water rush over my head the second I do.

    I look at the front and see Mom and Dad holding each others hands. They look at me and mouth "I love you." I mouth it back because this might be the end. I close my eyes and darkness and water surrounds me and my thoughts.

    I gasp for air as I quickly sit up, pressing my hand against my chest. It was just a dream, I reassure myself. I crawl out the covers and check the time. 3:00a.m. Why did I have that dream? Why now? I take soft steps to Elena's room so I won't wake anyone else up.

    I walk towards her bed. "Elena!" I whisper/yell. She immediately wakes up, blinking a lot.

    "Gabby?" She mumbles, rubbing her eyes, "What is it?"

    "I had a nightmare. About the...you know." I reply. She nods her head knowing what I'm saying.

    "Why now?" She mumbles, sliding back into her bed before patting the spot beside her. I smile before hopping on the bed.

    "It might be because of the car wreck," I suggest, laying down on the pillows

    "Maybe," she agrees, letting out a yawn as she closes her eyes.

    "Gabby! I need the money!" Jeremy yells from downstairs. I run down stairs with my wallet. Jeremy gestures inside and points to the table as I step downstairs.

    The pizza guy enters and places the two boxes on our dining table as I fish out our money. I give the man a smile as he faces me.

    "Twenty-two including tip," I tell him, handing him the cash.

    The pizza guy nods before saying, "Thank you." He leaves our house and I close the door behind him.

    "Pizza is served." I announce, gesturing to the two greasy boxes. Jeremy chuckles. We open the pizza box and dig in to our delicious pizza.

    "I love pizza!" Jeremy exclaims whilst chewing his food. He takes a big bite out of his pepperoni pizza. I watch as he takes our bottle of ranch and adds it to the rest of his slice.
