This Broken Beautiful Thing...

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

 I jump in my car and speed off down the dust road, the wooded area clears and I head down towards the main street of our town. The streets are empty and all the shops are closed, this town is so dead.

I stop at the red light and burst out in more tears, my whole body is trembling, I touch my tummy protectively and whisper,” Guess it’s just you and me baby.”

I look in the mirror and rip off my fake lashes, I use my black cardigan that lies on the seat next to me to remove the makeup that is running down my cheeks. 

I don’t understand how Ashley could do this to me , she knew how important tonight was and how much I love Caleb. I was betrayed by the two people that I never thought would hurt me like this, I wonder if she will tell him about the baby... probably not because she knows he will want to be a part of his child’s life and she too selfish to let that happen.

The lights turn green , I don’t get even five meters away when I see two sets of lights on the side of my window , I hear the glass shatter ,the screeching tires,  the airbag knocks the air out of my lungs , I can hear the scratching of the metal of the car as it rolls.

It all happened so quickly but it felt like I was frozen as I watched the glass fall around me and the car land on its side. The car rolled a couple times then slammed against the tree on the other side of the road.

My seat belt holds my body in place tightly; I unlatch it and drop to the floor with a loud thud. I cry in pain as I hit the broken glass beneath me , I hear the metal door above me open and someone pops there head in.

I must be dead because this guy looks like an Angel. The most beautiful creature I have ever seen asks me in a gruff voice, “Hun are you okay? I’m so sorry, here... please take my hand!” he says as he leans down into the car and pulls out his hand for me to take.

 I place my small soft hand in his large rough one and I gently stand and squeeze my way through the buckled seats. He lifts me up and out of the car and carries me to the back of the car as he sits down leaning against the tree with me still in his lap.

I'm still in shock at what has just happened and my heart is beating rapidly , I take a closer look at his face, he has beautiful blue eyes with black hair. His hair is dark like Calebs ,although this guys hair is much longer, it covers the side if his face in almost an “emo” kinda way but it just comes off messy and sexy. He also has light stubble on his jawline. He is wearing a tight black shirt and i can clearly see his defined muscles through his shirt , i also notice he is wearing a biker leather jacket, I look at his patch and smile.

 “So Raven huh? “ I smile and look up at him. He seems shocked that I was able to read his patch and tell that this was his road name.

 “Hmmm Devils Grim too…nice!” I say as I look at the emblem on the side of the jacket above his name.

 “How do you know all this stuff? You are too pretty and innocent to have any business with bikers…” he smiles at me and takes a tissue from his chest pocket and places it against my throbbing head where I hit the window. I take it from him and look down at the blood covered napkin and place it back on my head.

 “Grim’s my daddy…” I say simply. I feel him tense underneath me.

 “Oh god, you’re Harley? Your fathers going to kill me! “he says and I can sense the fear coming from him. I suppose I would also be afraid of my father.

 “Nah…don’t worry about him, I’ll tell him it wasnt your fault. It’s okay…” I mumble.

 “No it’s not okay! I shouldn’t of skipped the red light, I was in such a hurry, I’m so sorry Harley. I’ve called for help, the ambulance should be here soon, are you okay?” He says looking my face over, obviously assessing the damage.
