Mortal Impact

Chapter 5

Ahhh! Amazing nights sleep last night! The bed was so comfortable and the pillows were so soft...ugh, are you serious! I've got an hours trip to the Tower of London. Stupid parents! always wanting to sight-see. Why can't we do what I want to do for once and go shopping in Oxford and Regent street!

........................... Hour later

In the car on our way. Ugh! I'm bored already an we've only been in the car five minutes! Oh please can someone just send an angel to come and rescue me?

................................. 6:15 pm

It was ok I guess! The crown jewels were the best part. I want a crown like that!

We were on our way back from the Tower of London. I was eating a packet of bonbons when my mobile rang, it was Jack! I nearly screamed in delight! I answered. We then started having a conversation about school life. He told me that he would be coming back to school and that he had a question to ask me - My heart was racing at that point - he had been talking to George and George told him that I liked him - Damn it! Why did I trust George! - the truth was, he liked me too, ever since he set eyes on me and would I go out with him?

At that moment, my heart thumping, head spinning, my world exploded around me. Glass shattered and I was tossed about like a rag doll. My phone was flung out of my hand and I screamed, half out of the pain seating through my body and half out of frustration of finally being asked out by Jack and missing the chance. Our car had been smashed into the side by another car and pushed onto its back. It had kept rolling until it came to a standstill. I was scared...no, I was terrified! A man stepped inside the car pointing a gun at my dad's head. I heard my mum screaming "run Laura, run" and that was it. I ran. I heard to gun shots, two ear- splitting, blood curdling screams and silence. Then, I knew, they were gone, forever. I was alone in the wide world with no one left to take care of me. I think he is still after me. But who knows? I'm in America now...
