The deal

Chapter 2: The Crash (Part 1)

Ally Bennett

"Daniel?!" I yelled completely shocked.

"Ally? Ally! Oh my God! This is not what it looks like!" He said and jumped out of the bed.

"Oh it is completely what it looks like! I'm done with you Daniel! Go to hell! I said and slammed the door shut.

"Ally let me explain you!" I heard him yelling through the door.

I slammed the door shut and ran downstairs. I was freaking out. He was cheating on me. Stupid cheating bastard! I could hardly breathe. My mouth felt dry and tears started to run down my cheeks without control. I needed to leave soon but when I got to the first floor the place was packed and I felt trapped in the crowd. I moved around trying to find the door when I felt a hand grabbing my wrist, I turned around ready to slap the bastard but I saw Harry again.

"Ally, what's wrooong? Why are you crying?" He slurred a little grabbing my shoulder trying to comfort me. He might be drunk but Harry was one of my best friends in college and he always took care of me and Marissa at parties.

I couldn't say a word and then choked in my own spit and start coughing hard.

"Water" I managed to tell him while coughing. I watched the red plastic cup he was holding and without thinking about it I grabbed it and chugged it down to the end.

"Ally, no!" I heard Harry and he threw the cup out of my hands, he said something about the drink but I couldn't hear anything. All I wanted to do was to be out of the stupid place so I pushed some people to get to the front door.

As soon as I was out of the house I ran through the front lawn. I heard Harry's voice following me. "Ally... wait... please... I have to tell you something!" He yelled and tried to reach me but then he stumbled and fell to the grass.

When I heard the noise he made when falling, I ran back to help him up but then I saw Daniel running towards me. I left Harry there and ran to my car. I managed to take the keys out of my jacket's pocket while I was running and unlocked the door. I got into the car and locked the door down on time before Daniel reached for me.

"Ally please let me explain you!" He yelled while knocking on the car's window. I looked at the steering wheel and held it tightly until my knuckles were white. I never turned to see him but tears were running down my cheeks I just wanted to get out so I turned on the engine and speed out through the street.

I was crying and cursing myself for being so stupid. How would I think that Daniel would really be faithful to me? I really didn't know anything about him. I met him at the legal aid office and he was incredibly cute. I liked him when I saw him but I never thought he would ask me out but he did.

When we started dating, I found out he went to NYU and some girls at the office encouraged me to date him because he was so charming. He told me his story and how his parents had died in an accident. I understood how he felt because I felt the same way and I thought we were connected by this.

I kept thinking about everything in my relation with Daniel when suddenly my head felt heavy and I didn't recognize where I was going. I was driving through a fancy neighborhood. I was shivering, my hands felt clammy and I was sweating heavily. I tried to look for my phone and for a couple of seconds I looked to the front seat but when I looked back to the road I saw something in front of me, I tried to push the brakes but it was too late. I heard the sound of metal crashing and smoke coming out of my car. I crashed my head against the steering wheel before the air bag exploded on my face and I felt blood running down my forehead. I opened the door, unfastened my seatbelt and pushed myself out of the car. Everything was blurry when I got out. I could barely see a figure standing in front of me.
