The darkness barely lasts. It feels like only five seconds before its gone and replaced by an image of pure horror. There I am in my care. Little silver thing, unimpressive but with good mileage. The pickup hits my driver's side. I hear myself scream as my body is crushed. I can hardly breathe. It goes dark.

Then the scene opens again. Over and over again its replayed in my mind feeling more and more real. I'm terrified that I'm going to die and then I think, Wait. No. I can't die, what about Rachel?!?

RACHEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I felt out of breath, it was getting dark again, really dark... My head felt foggy and the world was spinning and it was so so dark. I couldn't hear anything except my own desperate cries for Rachel and those cries never left my lips.

I could feel myself, every bone in my body aching, my lungs trying desperately hard to breathe, for Rachel, for my Rachel, I would breathe, I had to,I had to...

Oh my goodness, I felt sick... My heart beat felt weak and my head felt messed up and I was longing to see Rachel and to hold her but I couldn't even hold myself right now and that....

That broke my heart.
