Trials and Troubles

Chapter 2: After Math (Victors POV)

It was all to quick, but I guess thats life. Anything could change in a moment. I sit in a car tilted side ways next to a ditch, startled by the car accident I just sit there. I look over towards my dad and he is unconcious and my mom was trying to find a way out. I said "How did dad crash? Are you okay"? She didnt say a word. She signals me to try to crawl through the dorr closest to the floor since the car layed sidways.

I slowly shuffle my body towards the window, when the car starts wobbling again. I grab my head and start to panic and the car starts the fall in the ditch upside. The impact from the car was so intense I smash my head on the window as the car flip over. My head is in tremendous pain, it hurt so bad and I got so tired I fell asleep. I started thinking hard but everything was slipping in my mind. The only thing I kept thinking about was music and how it calmed me, nothing else matter. I literally couldnt remember anything.

When I awoke there was a women who was shaking me saying "Wake up". Everything came to me as a blur, I was inside what seemed like a car but it was upside down ,and out the window I could see the floor. The woman went to shake me again when I said "Im fine, stop shaking me. How did the car get like this"? She looked at me as if she was confused an frightened. "Victor" she sobbed out as she began to hold me. I said "No seriously how did the car get like this"?

I looked over to the driver seat and saw a man unconscious will a big cut on his head an small stain of blood on his pants and shirt. I also noticed that the woman was bruised on her arms. I turn to her and said "What ever your name is, we need to get out of here". She replied "I'm your mother, hunny I think you need to sit and relax". My mother, nothing was coming back to me when she said that. I look for things to use to try to get out of here when I see a smartphone with my name on the back of it. I grab it and it all shattered. I was hoping to turn it for memories or anything that could give me and idea of me.

"The man in the drivers seat, is that my dad" I said ?

She replied "Dont play games with me your scaring me".

I tried to reassure her that everything is okay.

I said "So has he woken up yet"?

She replied "No and I've tried a couple of times, the only way I think we can get out of here is to kick the wind sheild open and shimmy out or try to go through the trunk". I look around and examine everything and she's right. Those seem like the only two ways to get out of the car. it seem like we're in more of a hole then a ditch.

I dont know how to react right now. My mom looks like shes having a meltdown, my dad is going to be dead soon if we dont get help. And I just woke up from what seems like a dream. None of this feels real, like if I pinch myself im not going to feel it.

I ask "How again did we end up here"? She said "Honestly"? I replied "Of course".

She said "Me and your father were arguing and this car in front of us stopped. When he stopped your dad slammed on the breaks and smack into him. Then flipped over and fell of the express way and landed next to this small ditch. The car was side ways but something either from us moving or the weight of the car made it fall into this ditch upside down". I replied "Wow, im surprised we're still alive, the guy that we hit might have called for help". I look at my mom and she starts chuckiling. She says "It's been hours and nothing still."

It's weird to see some one who is my mom to act like this. It's like she's having a nervous break down, the tone in her voice tells her frustration. im just sitting here thinking over and over what are the possibilities are. I could kick the glass in the front of the car nut im not sure if I have the strength for it. We're all kind of banged up.

It was quite in the car but thats when it hit my mom, she started panic. She was loosing her mind because she couldnt get out of here. She gasping for air like if it was scarce. I grab onto her for comfort but it does help. She figits around, then she place her head against the window and starts bangs her hamds on it. She cut up her hand and she shattered the glass. A loud screech came from her mouth.

I sat in against one back seats shocked. "See if you can fit through the window. Its a small windows but give it a try" she said. She tried going in head first but she got alittle scared and sat back down. She layed on her back and put her legs in first and started pulling her self out. She signaled me over to her, I crawled over and held her back while she shimmed out the window.

It was a sign of relief on my end, the fact that this would all be over soon. Once she got out the car she has to crawl around the car avoiding the large sharp branches. She ripped of her heels and handed me them and began crawling.

I couldn't see her anymore, I moved to the front of the car and look at what used to be the rear view mirror. She is slowly pacing herself, pulling back the branches so she can get through. She toke a couple more steps and then let go I the branch. Right when she let go the whole left of the branch fell of right in front of her. I heard her dry sobbing for a minute and then she shook it off.

She took a small break when in the distance I could see a man ran towards us down the hill. He was calling out my moms name. "Mitchell .. Mitchell are you okay"? Said the mysterious man. "Jason is that you? No I need to to call the police or the ambulance. Victor has a concussion and Richard is well... I don't know right now" said Mitchell.

He must be a friend of the family or something. Maybe a cousin or something him and my mom seem close. He must be pretty strong he ran down to my mother and picked her up and look at her body for wounds. I couldn't hear what the were saying but whatever they were talking about it made her cry. The relief that I would be out of the car and free made me feel a lot better. I still can't remember anything from my past. Here's all I know : My name is Richard. I woke up after the car accident happened. My dad is lying next to me unconscious but I'm fine.

"Where is your son?" Asked Jason. "He's still in the car, he can't fit through the window like me" says Mitchell "I can't believe my husband thought I was having an affair with you".

"It's not a bad idea if you ask me" says Jason "I mean honestly I've always had a thing for you".

"I'm flattered but I have a family and you have a family. I love my husband" says Mitchell "I thank you do helping me to plan his birthday party for next week, if he kept accusing me of cheating I was going to just tell him about the party".

"C'mon I could treat you way better than he can. I'll leave family behind. Ou can leave your family behind" Jason said.

How could he even say something like that in times like this when there's an emergency going on. My dad could be dead and he's trying to get with my mom.

Mitchell stands up and smacks Jason with force and says "You asshole, you inconsiderate pig".

Jason smacks her back and says "Now you listen here, you've been looking at me and giving me all the signs. Don't you wanna be with me"? Says Jason.

She screamed "No. Leave. I can get help on my own!"

The next moment I couldn't bare watching. As my mother went from full fledged rage to no emotions as she fell to the floor and the bullet pass through her. Besides their screaming it was silent after Jason shot my mom. I couldn't speak, I was speechless. My whole body went numb and then I thought I myself -what am I going to do, he might come for me next-.

I don't move an lay still waiting for my death to come. But after a few minutes nothin happens. He must have left or ran.

What do I do now. My moms gone, my dad by now must dead. And there seems like there's no hope...
