| Mar's POV |
We were driving peacefully down the road , not talking to each for about ten minutes when she broke the silence .
" What's that noise ? " She asked . I looked in the backseat . It was Chica snoring . She was soundly asleep . " It's just Chica sleeping . " I said pointing to the backseat . Poppy nodded and focused back on the road . " Oh and thank you for doing this for me . " I continued . " I know how hard it must be - well I don't know how hard it must be for you to be doing this for me . I hope I'm not putting you through too much trouble . "
For a couple of seconds , probably about a minute , she just continued to look at the road and pay attention to that . Then she looked at me . " You're very welcome , " She looked back at the road . " I can't imagine how much shit he's put you through . And it hurts to even think about it . You weren't happy . Clearly . And neither was I . I just hope we can be happier now that we're escaping this . We'll be okay . Hopefully . " Then we just sat in silence again .
" Wait where did you get money to pay for our tickets ? " Poppy asked five minutes later .
" I saved up for months . " I told her . " I haven't spent any of my money on anything else except bills , food , and clothes . It's been torturous . I also cleaned out my bank account and Titanic's before I left . "
Poppy raised her eyebrows , not saying anything . After another thirty-five minutes of sitting in silence , we heard a noise . It was another car on the road . At first we ignored it but then I heard extremely loud bangs .
" What the hell is that ? " Poppy asked me .
" I don't know . Maybe it's just firecrackers ? " I suggested .
Poppy looked at the clock above the radio . " Mars , it's nearly five in the morning , who the hell in their right mind would be lighting up firecrackers at this time ? "
Just then , we heard the bang again . This time I let the window down and looked out it . I gasped at what my eyes were witnessing . I had to be hallucinating . I just had to be . But I wasn't . This is reality . But reality is only a dream after all . Behind us was Titanic driving in his car attempting to shoot out either our tires or windows with the gun he had .
" I ALWAYS FUCKING KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO TRY TO RUNAWAY FROM ME MARS ARGO . YOU LITTLE SPOILED , UNGRATEFUL , GOOD FOR NOTHING LITTLE ASSHOLE . ALL OF MY HARD WORK , SIMPLY GOING TO WASTE ?, " He screamed then lifted up the gun from the tires and towards me . " ALL OF THE TIME I SPENT . ALL THE TIME WE SPENT . WRITING SONGS . COMING UP WITH TUNES . PERFORMING LIVE , DOING COMPUTER SHOW VIDEOS , DOES ANY OF THAT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU ? YOU LITTLE STUCK UP BLONDE SLUT . YOU'RE JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER GIRL IN HOLLYWOOD . YOU WERE JUST USING ME RIGHT ? DID YOU EVER EVEN LOVE ME ? "
" Of course I did , Titanic ! If I didn't I wouldn't have put up with you for so long ! But this is getting out of hand , this isn't love . It's toxic . I love you , Corey . Okay ? "
" You know , Britany , you and your stupid little eager words are making me a awful mess . You said you need me . " He said a little calmer . " Why would you lie ? "
" I'm not lying to you ! It's toxic ! Just look at yourself ! What you're doing is silly ! "
" So I'm silly now ? Okay , I'll show you silly . " He placed his finger on the trigger as I quickly stuck my head back inside the window and rolled it up .
" Poppy , drive faster ! " I screamed .
" What the fuck's going on ? " Just then we heard a big crash from the side of the car and both of us flew towards the front of the car . We found ourselves both tumbling down into woods with blood streaming down our faces and splattering different angles until the car crashed completely and stopped .
I got up out of my seat quickly and rushed out the car dizzily . The sky was bright as day . I had to go unconscious . And who knows how long I've even been unconscious . I looked at the clock . It was now nine o'three . I had to be out for at least three and a half hours . I looked for Poppy , but she was no longer in the car . Oh god . Because of me one of the most amazing people I've ever met in my entire life is now critically injured with none of the slightest trace of her or where she could've gone or she could even possibly be dead . All because of me . What the hell have I done ?
I saw Chica in the car still . A small bit of her tail was stuck in between the car seats and she was struggling to get out . I kicked into the window with my foot . My poor kitty . I then slowly grabbed her tail with one hand and pushed against the seat with the other . Chica hissed loudly and attempted to scratch me . I finally got her unstuck and I climbed out the car through the window as remaining pieces of glass scratched up my arms and legs and a little bit of my hips and I started to bleed a bit . Which didn't really seem to matter since I was already bleeding .
I looked around with Chica in my arms . But she climbed out of them and climbed inside of my slightly torn backpack .
" Okay , " I said to her rubbing her fur and listening to her purr . " I don't know where the hell we are or where the hell Poppy is but I'm sure we can find a way out and find Poppy on the way too . But which way should I we go ? " My instinct was telling me to go the way the back of the car was facing . So that's the way we're heading .
