Wait For Me

1. The accident

"No!" I scream as I jolt awake drenched in sweat like I have been every night since it happened. I glance over to the digital clock beside me. 2:07 am it reads, I sigh and fall back on my pillow as I am transferred back to that night.

*One Month Earlier*

"Miley, we are going now with or with out you guys!" Dad called up to Jim and I.

"We're coming!" I called back to dad.

I spun around to Jim, squealed and smiled at him.

"Why are you smiling at me like that?" he asked

"I love you so much, you know that?" I asked innocently as I giggled and wrapped my arms around his strong torso.

"Miley," Jim softly spoke into my ear. "You are the love of my life, and you always will be. I will always be here for you babe."

I blushed and kissed him softly on the lips, then smacked his bum and yelled," Woohoo! Road trip!"

Jim laughed and said," That's my gorgeous, crazy girl!"

I playfully smacked him on the arm and walked out of my room. As I reached our 2012 Wrangler Jeep I noticed my brother sitting in the middle of the back seat smirking at me.

"Ryan!" I yelled stomping over to him," We've discussed this you sit on the left side, Jim gets the middle and I get the right!"

"Nope, mom told me to sit here." He called back his smirk growing bigger.

"I don't care, move!" I yelled storming over to him.

I didn't even make it half way to the jeep before I felt a muscular arm work it's way around my stomach and pull me back.

"Miley!" Jim seductively moaned into my ear. "Easy tiger, we'll have plenty of time alone later."

I giggled as he nipped my ear and spun me to face him.

"Although I must say seeing you get so worked up is seriously turning me on." he whispered into my ear. I planted a quick kiss on his lips and skipped away only stopping to turn around and smirk at him.

"Are you coming?" I asked wiggling my eyebrows at him.

"Hell yes! Let's get this party started!" He chanted while pumping his fist in the air.

I giggled and got inside the car beside my brother, ew.

*Two hours later*

"Dad, all these turns are going to get me sick!" Ryan complained for probably the hundredth time in the past five minutes.

"Ryan, that's the whole fun of driving up the side of a mountain, all the twists and turns!" Dad cheerfully called back. I rolled my eyes at how fake he sounded, I'm sure like the rest of us he was super annoyed and counting down the seconds until we get out of this dang car. Our annual road trip up to this mountain has barely even started yet and I'm already annoyed with everyone- well mostly just Ryan. This year is the first year that Jim will be coming with us, and I'm super excited to share my secret spot with him. It's a beautiful cave with an even better view of the mountains and the valley. I found this spot when I was five years old and I still go back to it. Although, now it is 'furnished' with a wooden log for a chair and a large flat stone for a table. I also have a pretty decent stash of candles and fishing supplies I found in the woods one year. The only thing I ever need to bring to it is food. I must say the cave is one of my better achievements.

"Hey babe," I whispered excitedly into Jim's ear," When we get there the first thing we will do is go to my secret cave!"

He chuckled quietly to himself,"Only you would get so excited about a cave."

I punched him lightly on the shoulder and said," It's not just a cave its my high tech lair, that I found when I was five! It even has chairs, a table, and a shelf for food or whatever!!"

He just laughed and continued to gaze out the window.

"Ew guys, stop being all lovey dovey!! I'm right here!" Ryan grouched waving his hands in front of his face.

"Oh really? I just thought you were some gross decoration mom forced us to bring up again." I said laughing

He punched me on the shoulder and I laughed harder.

"Hey, those decorations weren't that hideous!" mom argued

"Sure mom, whatever you think" I chuckled

"Hey dad, when we get there will there be wifi? My clan is going to war soon and I need to have wifi for that." Ryan asked probably to just be annoying.

Dad looked up from the road and back at Ryan in the rear view mirror.

"Ryan you know how I feel about-"

Suddenly dad veered off to the right and the next thing I knew Jim was screaming my name and Ryan was screaming in terror.

I awoke with a start, looked around and suddenly remember what had happen. We had crashed, but how? I tried to stand up but the pain in my lower abdomen was searing and I felt extremely dizzy. I sighed and sat back in the position I was in. I turned my head to the left and saw a overturned semi that was leaking gasoline everywhere. Oh. I guess that's how it happened. Soon I realized that it would only be a matter of time before something caught on fire and blew up from the gas. Shuddering I tried not to think about the outcome that would have. I coughed out blood painfully and rolled over on to my side, gazing around to see if I could see anyone else. Nothing. Am I alone? I wondered to myself. Then I heard someone scream out for help. It sounded bad, like they were using their last breaths to scream out for help. I tried to call out," I'm here, don't worry, fight through this we will get through this together! Hold on!" but nothing came out. It's like I'm paralyzed in fear, I can't move or speak. Their screaming stopped and the only noise I could here was a faint sizzling. Everything was eerily quiet, yet in way kind of peaceful. Then I began shaking. And I couldn't stop, my body was violently jerking side to side. A loud ringing sound shot through my skull, then everything went black.
