Kian was driving down down the highway the speed gradually reaching 120 kph, Led Zeppelin blasting in the back round. I climb onto the back of the ute with Holly to recreate the titanic. The wind blowing her hair into my face, how did Jack even do this without getting a mouthful of hair?
"Don't eat my hair Charlie" she says giggling like a maniac. I look over her shoulder to see Kian texting furiously.
"Who's he texting" I shout over the traffic noise hugging her waist tighter.
I barely hear her reply but it's definitely a guy.
He hits send, then the barrier. Time slowed, Holly was pulled from my arms and flung forward my body soon following in pursuit, her neck hits the bonnet and snaps, I keep flying. Glass falling around me like snowflakes. Then time resumes, my world goes black. And ringing invades my ears.
I see my life literally flash before my eyes, then Holly. Laying on the road like a discarded rag doll, eyes still open, mouth stuck in mid scream.
