I couldn't get into Courtney's car any faster. I was ready to burst. I bet Courtney can tell something's wrong. I just don't know what to do my whole world is being turned upside down!
"Ok spill it." Courtney says pulling over.
I begin to sob uncontrollably. "I really fucked up!"
"What do you mean Ella?"
"I slept with Derek! Not once but twice."
"Oh lord, ok we will figure this out."
"There's nothing to figure out Court! I fucked up!
"No Ella. You are lonely. You're an emotional wreck. Don't worry it's between you and I."
"What if Derek tells people?"
"He won't. Call him. Tell him that you are scared."
"I'm just going to text him."
Me: Derek can you please please please keep what happened between you and I between us? At least until I figure things out.
Derek: Ella, don't worry it's between us. I love you. I won't deny that. I'm going to give you time.
Me: thank you so much! You are incredible!
Derek: don't thank me, just come back to me.
Me: ❤️
"So he says he won't say a word." I say.
"Well good. Do you have feelings for him?"
I sigh. "That's the thing, I do. I've always liked him but never thought he felt the same."
"Oh love. Do you think you are holding onto Ivan because of the baby?"
"I don't know, maybe. I'm so confused Courtney."
"We will figure this out. Just you and I!"
Courtney puts the car in drive and pulls off. We are heading to the mall to shop. That's what Courtney does when she needs therapy. We have about a 45 minute drive before we get there so I have Courtney stop for coffee. Continuing toward the mall we turn onto Pine Road. Pine Road is a desolate road. One of the only roads you can take around here to have a quiet drive. We drive in silence. Courtney is probably trying to process my screwy mess and I'm trying to process what I want.
Courtney turns the radio up and headlights appear out of no where. The car begins to swerve erratically. "I think they are drunk!" I say. Courtney nods her head agreeing. The car is close to us now and speeding up coming next to our car. The car gets directly next to us and Courtney brakes allowing them to get ahead of us. The car slams on the their brakes getting next to us again. "What the fuck is this car doing?" Courtney yells.
"I'm calling the police!" I say dialing 911.
Courtney steps on the gas and is trying her hardest to pull ahead, but whoever is driving this car is relentless. The car is now swerving at us. "I think this persons trying to run us off the road!" Courtney says. Courtney brakes allowing the car to pull ahead and the person brakes too. Courtney then slams on her brakes completely stopping the car. The person driving the car throws it in reverse and slams their backend off of our front end. I slam my head off of the dashboard. The car is now stopped so Courtney puts the car in drive and floors it. The car floors it too and flies next to us again. This person in this car is really trying to hurt us. The car slams into the side of Courtney's car causing her to slide off the road. Courtney regained control of her car and gassed it. The car flies up again slamming into the side of Courtney's car. This time we went off the road, skidding and the car starts rolling. It rolled a few times before everything went black.
