Laya's POV
"Are you sure this will work?" I questioned.
"It has to." Brenda spoke in a raspy voice.
"Its really cold out here." I said catching a chill.
"Here. Are you sure you want to do this?" Ryan asked while giving me his jacket.
"Yeah. I am." After all it is me she wants the most.
"We gotta get this plan into action." Joe spoke. His voice filled with angst. He nodded at me, "Remember. We're right down the road. Not even one hundred steps. Where you go we follow." I nodded and watched him get in the car.
"Stay safe." Curtis said giving my hand a squeeze.
"No promises." I smiled without humour. He gave me a worried look and got into the car.
I turned my back to the car and began walking down the dark rural road. I heard the headlights of the car turn off and my heart nearly exploded. The further I got away from the car the more I felt claustrophobic. It was as if I was going into a deep tunnel that had no ending or exit.
After walking for about thirty minutes I looked back for the first time and saw the car still behind me. Not close but not far.
I turned around and started walking again but came to a halt when a semi trucks lights nearly blinded me. I stood frozen in one spot and watched as the trucks brights turned on.
The truck sped up and I jumped into the field of holly and felt my head hit something sharp. I could feel myself losing consciousness as I turned on my side and looked on helplessly and saw the truck hit our car. The car everyone was inside. Joe, Ryan, Curtis and Brenda. I saw the car project into the air. And saw it hit the ground about fifteen feet away from where it once was and turned upside down. I tried to gather up enough energy to move but I only got weaker. I kept my eyes on the car waiting for someone to get out. Just as the drivers door opened I felt myself slip out of consciousness.
Joe's POV
"She's waking up." I heard Curtis say. I stood up and walked over to the hospital bed.
"Where? Why am I in a hospital?" A confused Laya asked.
"You hit your head on a stone. A sharp one." I answered.
"So I take it the plan didn't work." She said trying to sit up.
"Save you're strength." Ryan said coming into the room. "You said you'd call as soon as she woke up." He looked at me hard.
"She just woke up. Besides you needed to take a breather."
"Where's Brenda?" I heard Laya's hoarse voice. We all shared a look before turning back to Laya.
"Here you need to drink this." Ryan said handing her water.
"I need to know where my friend is."
"The impact of that truck hitting us was hard. The car was turned upside down and almost completely crushed." Ryan explained.
"Its amazing we only got out of there with only a couple of bruises and scratches." Curtis said avoiding eye contact.
"Brenda. Well she-"
"Wasn't so lucky." Laya spoke looking down.
"No she wasn't. But I don't want you to get the wrong idea. She's alive. She's suffered two cracked ribs and internal bleeding." I explained.
"And to answer your question from earlier. The plan didn't work." Ryan stated.
"But I have a new plan." I expressed.
