Maddie's POV

RING! RING! My alarm clock blared. I jumped out of bed, even though it is 7 am on a Saturday morning. I had dance in an hour. I am a competitive dancer at the ALDC. (Dance moms does not exist in the fanfic) I raced into my closet and grabbed black booty shorts, a black crop top, and a purple ALDC crop top to put on. I threw the ALDC team jacket over my dance wear, and headed downstairs. My little sister, Kenzie, was already eating breakfast. I grabbed a banana and sat down next to her. We ate in silence until I was finished. I got up and I threw my banana peel away.

Kenzie called, "Mom! Dad! Let's go!"

They came running down the stairs, and then Kenzie and I grabbed our dance bags and headed to the car. We squeezed into the back, and my parents were up front. They have a thing about being "green" or kind to the environment. Mom always drives Dad to work, and we own the most fuel-efficient car out there. She starts the car, and pulls out into the driveway. There is a light drizzle, but nothing too unusual for Pittsburgh. My dad turns NPR on, and I look down at my phone and check Twitter. I look up just in time to see a truck barreling towards us. Kenzie screams, my mom starts to swerve out of the way, but it is too late.

The windshield shatters, and the truck hits us straight on. Something is heading straight towards my head, so I close my eyes. I see a white light, and that is the last thing I remember.
