Angela wasn't even out of the school parking lot when she jerks her car to one side. She almost hit a car that was parked. She was not paying too much attention. She tries to focus but a sound to her side catches her attention. She watches as her phone vibrates on the floor. Her bag has spilled and everything was on the ground. When her sight goes back to the street it's too late.
Her body jerks to one side horribly. Angela does not know what to do. Her mind was a complete blank. Her body jerks forward and pain quickly travels over her body. The airbag is deployed and she can hear beeping. Second later everything seems to stop. She just sits there not knowing what to think. Not really realizing what had just happened to her.
Angelas door swings open abruptly Anthony appears there with the most worried expression she has ever seen. A huge sigh leaves him as he checks her.
Angela is still confused as he works to unbuckle her. He struggles for a bit but eventually frees her.
"Does anything hurt?" Anthony asks leaning over her.
Angela shakes her head confusion taking over. Her sight was getting blurry and she can feel Anthony's touch her face.
"This ain't good," he states.
"I want to go home," she says grabbing his hand, "please."
Angela can see in his eyes the struggle of emotions. He gives her a smile and just nods.
"Let's get you out for now," Anthony states.
Anthony helps her to her feet being her complete support as she just lets her body lean against his. Angela can feel the warmth seep into her skin. She wants to close her eyes and just enjoy.
"Hey I need you to stay awake,"Anthony states as his arm wraps around her waist.
"You smell good," Angela states digging her face into his chest.
"Are you feeling any pain?" He asks.
"My heart aches," she answers truthfully.
Angela hears him sigh and he tighten his grip a bit. A smile escapes her as all she wants is to enjoy the warmth.
"This is bad," Anthony says, "you could have gotten really hurt."
"I'm sorry," she says timidly.
Another sign exits Anthony as his body shuffles. Angela groans as the warmth separates from her temporarily. She looks up to Anthony's face and finds it red. Had he cried? She looks towards his line of sight and she's shocked by her car.
Windows broken with glass everywhere. A gaping whole just behind her seat. Part of her car was gone. She looses balance a bit and Anthony catches her. She grips his shirt tightly trying to keep herself on her feet.
Angelas sight goes to the other car. A guy is examining the car with anger seeping through his expression. He turns toward her and he has a cut on his nose. Blood dripping down his face. Her grip tightens on Tony as he storms towards them.
Jesse appears and stands between them with his back towards the man. He quickly takes off his jacket and throws it at her. Anthony catches it as she didn't realize what was happening on time.
"I'll take care of it," Jesse says turning to face the angered man.
"I want to go," Angela panics.
Sirens fill the air and Angela can feel time rapidly passing by. Anthony pulls her closer to himself. She can feel him tense up.
"Jesse your keys," Angela says croaking.
Jesse just turns questioning her with his eyes. He looks at Anthony for a second.
"She said your keys man," Anthony says extending his hand, "I'll drive."
Without another thought Jesse hands his keys over and returns to the man before him. Angela turns away as she feel the guys piercing stare at her.
As quickly as Angela can she makes it to Jesse car. Thankfully Jesse had brought it closer to the accident leaving it by the exit. Anthony sits her down and closes the door. Maybe Jesse was on his way home when she crashed.
Anthony appears at the drivers side. Slamming the door he throws her bag onto her feet. Had he gone and grabbed it out of her car. He leans towards her and buckle her in before driving off.
"You need a doctor," Anthony states.
Angela groans as her body aches.
"I want to go home," she says.
"What are you going to tell police when they come looking for you?" Anthony asks angrily.
"I don't know," she states.
"We just left the scene," Anthony says, "just for that we can get into lots of trouble."
"I'm sorry," Angela says as tears swell up.
"What did you take back there?" Anthony asks.
"I'm sorry," Angela repeats knowing all this was her fault.
"Your going to be fine. We just need an excuse why we left. We need a doctor to see you," Anthony states, "my sister works as an ER nurse."
"No. I got someone that can help," Angela says trying to focus.
"Tell me the way then," Anthony says.
Angela only nods and takes a deep breathe. This is going to be a gamble. So hopefully it plays out how she want it to.
