Scarlett's POV

"So. Talk to me while I amaze you. What was life like in Texas. Did you wrestle alligators and ride tractors all day?" He asked as he nearly swerved into a wall giving me a heart attack.
"That's part of our routine. Answer me"
"Uh I wasn't raised in Texas Danny. I was raised in San Fransisco. My mom was born in Texas but moved out here to San Diego when she was 10. After her dad died. I explained all this the first day we met. Everyone wanted to know about me so I told them. Weren't you listening?" I asked hurt.
"Of course I was listening. Your mom disowned you and the dad hates you. That's basically how your life is. Fucked up" he said.
"No. My mother died and my dad is raising me" I corrected through my clenched teeth.
"Same thing"
"I want out" I said opening the door but he quickly locked it.
"You're crazy" I looked at him to see a smirk on his face.
"Let me out"
"No I'm having fun right now. You can wait"
"Danny this isn't fun. It's dangerous"
"Same thing. Austin!" He shouted out the window. Austin swerved and was soon on the other side of the parking lot facing us. They gave a thumbs up and sped up towards each other making me scream and shut my eyes but I felt the car swerve right and then felt a crash followed by a scream sounded like it was from Taylor. I opened my eyes to see Danny's side of the car was completely ruined and the passenger side of Austin's was the same.

"You were suppose to go left!" Austin screamed at Danny.
"No you were!" He said screamed back. Tears streamed down my face as I just realized what happened. We were in a car accident.
"Tay?" I heard Austin. Danny told me to get out so I did and he climbed out from my side out of the car. His temple the bleeding and his left arm was all cut up but other then that he was okay. Austin was perfectly fine. Aside from the cut on his cheek. I think I was okay. I didn't feel any pain. As for Taylor.
"Tay!" Austin screamed trying to pull her out.
"You're hurting me!" She screamed back. Tay was stuck.
"What are we gonna do. My parents are gonna kill me. Her parents are gonna kill me!" Austin screamed.
"What about mine! They went on this vacation to see if they really wanted to get a divorce. Now they're home for a day and their son gets into an accident!"
"Someone call 911! She isn't breathing!" Austin shouted.
"You're the one with a phone you do it!" Danny yelled back. Austin sighed and reached in his back pocket and dialled 911. This isn't going to end well.

At 11:45 my dad and Rachel arrived to the scene and got out of her car running towards me on the stretcher.
"Oh my god Scarlett you gave me a heart attack. We went to Taylor's house and no one was home and then we got a call and Jesus Christ" Vic said pulling me into his arms. I didn't hesitate to hug back.
"I was so scared. Don't you dare run away ever again" he kissed my forehead and held me again. I felt tears hit my head and I knew he was crying.
"I'm sorry daddy" I broke down on his shoulder.
"Don't cry darling. Please don't cry"
"I didn't listen to you. I'm a terrible child and I'm so sorry" I told him. He rubbed my back and kissed my band-aided temple.
"It's okay" he let go and Rachel looked at me. I knew she was beyond mad but she pulled me into a hug anyway.
"Don't ever use me to get away from your dad again scar. And don't ever lie to us again. Understood?" I nodded and just like my dad, she kissed my head.
"You scared me so badly Scarlett Jesus Christ"
"I know I'm sorry" she was about to respond when I break from the hug because I see the paramedic's pulling Taylor's body onto the stretcher with a bag over it.
"She's really gone?" I asked the nurse who removed my finger monitor. She sadly nodded.
"You're lucky it wasn't you. I don't think your parents would be able to get over your death if it was" she said motioning to Vic who had Rachel in his arms.
"Oh they're-"
"Happy to see our little girl is safe" Rachel said looking at me. I smiled at them and nodded.

When we got home from the hospital-they brought me in just to see if I was okay and if i had damaged any of my organs and shit- I took a shower and changed into pyjamas before walking into the living room where Vic and Rachel were talking.
"Hey darling. Come here" Vic said opening his arms for a hug.
"I see your hair is brown now. Trynna look like your old man I see" he said making me giggle.
"Yeah. Something like that dad"
"Dad?" He questioned arching an eyebrow.
"I've decided to call you dad. If that's okay with you" he smiled at me.
"Of course it is" I smiled back at him. I never had someone I could call dad all my life until now so why not take advantage of it.

"What did you have to tell me?" I asked.
"Rachel is moving back in with us" he announced making me look at her in complete shock.
"You're what"
"Vic and I aren't together but we have been best friends for years and we've decided, what's the harm of moving back in to help him raise my so called daughter right love" she asked smiling.
"And Danielle is okay with this?" I asked looking up at my dad.
"Of course she is" I looked at Rachel to see she had her arms open for a hug in which I gladly accepted.

"Hey dad?" I asked once I let go of Rachel.
"Yeah?"
"I love you. Thank you for everything you've done for me" he smiled and messed up my hair.
"I love you too darling. More than you could ever imagine" he pulled me into his arms again and rocked us back and forth.
