A Pinch of Kerry

Cupid: The Car Crasher

[Next Morning]

I rubbed my eyes and got up. As soon as I got up my head started to throb. I forgot mostly what had happened last night. I just remember talking to J and wine. I noticed J was gone. I couldn't really be concerned at the moment because my head hurt so bad. I popped a Ibuprofen and laid back down. I checked my phone and I had 6 missed calls from Madison. Madison was my friend; she's an aspiring actress. She wanted me to visit her onset.

"Crap."

I rushed to put on clothes and brushed my teeth. I skipped breakfast and ran out the door. I got in my car and was about to drive. I stopped for a second to rest my head. I almost wanted to go back to sleep. I rubbed my head and put my key in the ignition. I was driving to the address Madison had text me. I'm on the expressway and its traffic.

"Great."

Then, the traffic starts to move. I still see cars moving slow trying to observe the accident that caused the traffic. I honked my horn because I was already late. I'm approaching the scene and the two cars look horrible. People are crowding one car because it was flipped over. I think I saw a person stuck inside. I squinted my eyes being a little nosy and I know the person. Its John. I pulled over my car, pissing off driver's behind me. I ran to the scene to see John.

"Ma'am! Ma'am!" The lady held my arms and tried to stop me.

"I know him! In the car!" I yelled.

"How? Are you his wife?"

"No."

"How do you know him then?"

"I JUST DO," I moved her out the way and ran by his side.

"John!" I prayed for a response.

"Hey...." It was a faint greeting.

"Oh my God. Are you okay?" I said.

"Ehh. Ahhh." He squirmed in pain.

"We're gonna get you out! Okay ?"

Where the hell was Joey? Thats your brother. I reached in my pocket to call him and it went straight to voicemail.

I was leaving a message, "Hey! Your brother's in trouble! Call me!"

I asked one of the doctors nearby was he gonna be okay.

"I'm sorry. I'm not sure. We're trying to make sure he gets out. He should be fine ma'am."

I was sweating and I was so nervous. I started to pace back and forth, back and forth.

"No, John. You can't leave me. No."

"Ma'am," one of the doctors tapped me.

"Yes? Is he alright?" The nervousness was exuding from me.

"You're Kerry?"

"Yes."

"He's asking for you."

I rushed over to him.

"John! Are you okay?" I asked.

"I need you....," he took a breath, "to call my family."

He was losing a lot of blood. His breathing was getting slower and slower. He was a darker man and he was starting to look pale.

"I only have Joey's number and he didn't answer." I said.

"My phone....Its in my pocket."

"Y-you want me to climb in?"

"You scared?" He smirked.
