"Mia!" I yelled repeatedly in her face holding her pale face in my hands, it was cold as ice and her eyes were closed and oh how I wished she would just show those bright beautiful orbs to me. It was raining heavily and the rain was drowning the car, the semi crashed into the tree beside Quinn's car was in worse shape and there was no sign of movement. I called the cops as soon as I got there, can they get here sooner I told myself.

I went to the bathroom wanting to cool off after seeing Blake and his mates walk into the diner, why did they have to come here? I waited awhile before going back to the table as I turned the corner sitting at the table was Blake and his mates throwing chips at each other and mucking around. I walked up to the table standing in front of them I catch the attention of one of the jocks who then pokes blake to get his attention.

"What do you want?" He says snarly at me

"Wheres Mia?"

"Little bitch didn't want any, left with some girl bright blue hair,"

He says gesturing at his hair when talking about Quinn.

"What the hell did you do to her!"

I say my anger level rising and my fists tensing up I try t speak as fluently as I wanting him to hear me loud and clear. I diner was noisy and crowded so not many people were noticing.

"What did you just say to me,"

He says not even questioning my actions.

I move closer to the table wanting to get into his face,

"What did you do,"

"I rocked her little world,"

I slap him right across the face, it may have been a girlish move but he is much bigger than me and I just wanted to slap those dirty words right out of his mouth.

The rest of his friends ooh at this scene as well as the crowded restaurant all paying attention to us but in the heat of the moment Blake jumps up almost gliding over the table tackling me to ground and pinning me punching me in the face repeatedly I fought so hard against him but I was weak and he was bigger than me and the floor was slippery from the many people walking in and out of the rain. He had punched me in the ribs and everywhere else and before someone could pull him off me he knocked me right in the face, blanking out for a moment I could see lights almost like head lights coming towards me then everything went quiet. The chef and a waiter pulled me up off the group and propping me on a chair they bring over a first aid kit and some ice but I refused, I knew something was wrong I had to go the ringing in my ears subsided and all I could hear was Blake and his crew being kicked out and the wincing of people in the restaurant seeing me walk past.
The storm was pretty much through the worst of it but the rain was still heavy I took my keys out of my pocket limping as I walked towards the car, I fiddled with the keys unlocking the door and sliding in spotting myself in the rearview mirror fuck it was bad. I had already started to see a black eye coming through and my lip was bleeding making me look like a vampire, my eyes were bloodshot and glassy.

I pulled onto the main road heading home but some reason I knew I wasn't.
That's when I saw it.

I hit the brakes as hard as I could not think about if any cars were behind me, leaping out of the car I ran over trying my hardest to open the door before resulting to smashing the back seat window and leaning over to open the door. She was just lying there lifeless and pale her lips, not the usually blush they were but a frosted blue. Once I had opened the door I instantly held her face and her neck needed a pulse, it was faint. I leaned over to Quinn, also faint. I undid her seatbelt but something in her pocket was in the way I pulled it out thinking it would be her phone or wallet,

My cigarettes
Soaked now from the rain
I held them tightly in my hand.

Everything was just in slow motion, watching the firemen and women getting the other driver out of the car and seeing people driving by stopping to witness what had happened. All I could think about was Mia. The ambulances were putting her into the vans Quinn in another one I had asked if I could join but her Dad said no but did allow me to drive to the hospital later.

I didn't know what I was doing up until then things were racing through my head and I don't know how long had gone by but I was in a park sitting on the siding of the playground. I pull out the pack of ciggies from my jacked taking one out and lighting it, my face was numb from the fight and so was my brain form all the motions and scenes I had just witnessed.

The smoke inhaled my lungs as the sunset.

Why did I leave the table

Why did I let my views of Blake get the better of me

I guess I cant change any of that now but Mia is in the best hands and I pray that she gets better.

I leaned back cigarette pressed between my lips laying on the wet grass.
