The Next Step - Life's Challenges

Chapter 7: The Crash

     "Oh my God! Miss Kate?!" Eldon gasped. He ran towards her and picked her up.

    

     "We need to get to a hospital!" He yelled. We ran out of the house and jumped into the car, Eldon gently but quickly layed Miss Kate down across the back seats.

    

     I could see that Eldon was worried about Miss Kate by the way he was driving, He was speeding. I decided that I would just ignore it until he ran a red light.

    

     "Eldon slow down." I said calmly. He ignored me. I asked him a few more times but still no reply, I was begining to get frustrated.

    

     Eldon's eyes were bloodshot, tears slowly started to form. I knew he had loved Miss Kate as a mother but I never knew that he was this close to her.

    

     He started swerving in and out of lanes, at one point he had almost hit another car. I began to get worried as the other drivers honked their horns at us. I finally looked to Eldon and yelled with a shaky voice.

    

     "Eldon slow down!" I screamed. I was begging him, then he snapped

    

     "Michelle would you just shut the fu..." Then it finally happened...

    

     ...Eldon swerved into another lane and just as he hit another car the windshield shattered, before I knew it, a giant shard of glass flew my way. I tried to duck and cover my head with my arms but it was too late, I had been struck. I instantly felt warm liquid drip down the side of my face, I was bleeding out. I put all the strength I had left into calling for Eldon but all that I managed was a weak whisper, moments later I blacked out.
