Arranging Alexandria [ON HOLD]

Chapter 20

So I'm in trouble with dad and Hannah for two reasons.

1. Being rude to Hannah when she found my scholarship.

2. Getting detention.

"I have logical reasons for both of them, thank you very much." I said calmly.

"I don't want logic. I want you to learn respect and discipline." Dad said back, not anywhere near calm. "And that is why we made the decision for you to move in with Louis."

"What the hell is that gonna teach me about respect and discipline?" I sighed. They're ridiculous.

"Louis is a well mannered young man. He could teach you a lot." Hannah replied.

"Mhm." I said skeptically. "Yeah, that's great and all. I'm going upstairs." I said and walked away. Yeah, that was pretty disrespectful but I don't care. I'm sure Louis can teach me plenty about respect too. (Note the sarcasm)

He was supposed to come over, but I don't know if I want to socialize after today. It was not a good day. I'm really aggravated and I don't want to be around people. I decided to cancel on him and take my mind off of things.

'To: Louis(:

Can I take a rain check? Today was not my day and I just wanna go jump in front of a small car. xx'

I want to play some basketball to take my mind off things. If I show up to practice late, I have to run bleachers. It's raining so I can't go play outside. I decided to go to the city's indoor basketball court. I put on Nike running shorts and sweatpants over them and a tank top on. I grabbed my phone and keys.

"Be back later." I called through the house before leaving. I backed out of the driveway, barely being able to see because of the flooding rain.

I stopped at a red light, being the first in a line of about three cars. Something hit the back of my little Corvette, causing the airbags to come out. I felt the car slide forward, even though my foot was on the break. Then something else crashed into the passenger side of my car.

It was dead silent after that. I held my breath for the longest time. I closed my eyes, trying not to panic. My hands went to my face. There was no damage done there. I could feel blood coming from my arm. I saw a huge shard of glass stuck in it. I cringed. My chest hurt immensely from the airbag. My ribs were in bad pain. The passenger side of my car was crushed basically. I couldn't tell what happened to the back. I grabbed my phone out of the cup holder and dialed 911.

"911. Police, fire, or ambulance?" The operator asked.

"Police and maybe ambulance! I don't know!" I started freaking out.

"Miss, please calm down." The woman told me. "I'm sending officers and an ambulance to your location. What happened?"

"I don't know. A bad wreck." I replied.

"Are you injured?" She asked monotonously.

"Yeah, but I don't know about anybody else. Please hurry!" I exclaimed. She assured me that help was on the way. I hung up on her out of frustration and called Louis.

As the phone rang, I could hear tires screeching then my car was jolted backwards. Somebody ran into the front of it. I hit my head on the steering wheel and became dizzy. I hit end on the call that hasn't been answered yet. I could only remember bits and pieces of what happened next.

Sirens from the police and ambulance were everywhere it seemed. I blacked out again.

"She's unconscious. Get her to the hospital, stat!" A paramedic was yelling. I heard a familiar voice in the background screaming. It was Louis. I couldn't make out the words, because I soon slipped into unconsciousness again.
