The outsider

Chapter 26

Darry me and DJ were on our way to the store a few weeks later. DJ started crying because he dropped his pacifier, "I got it baby." I leaned back into the back seat and grabbed the binky out of his chair and put it in his mouth, He loves his pacifier that soda gave him. "Woah. This guys getting in our lane." I looked at the road to see a big 18 wheeler coming into our lane. "Dare. Dare watch out!" "I can't go anywhere we're on the bridge!" Darry slammed on his breaks but it was to late the 18 wheeler slammed into us and pushed us onto the side of the bridge and then over it, DJ and I screamed as Darry gasped as the car fell from the high bridge to the lake below us. As we hit it I jolted forward and hit my head on the side of the dash board, water began to fill the car as well. "Ahh." "Kourtney you okay?" Darry asked, I placed my hand on my forehead and looked at it to see blood. "I'm okay get DJ." He unbuckled and grabbed the crying baby from his car seat. "I'll take him." I said with a moan in pain, Darry handed him to me and I held him close to my chest. "Shh. Baby. It's okay." Darry began to kick his widow trying to break it. "Darry if you do that the whole car will fill with water!" "It'll do that anyway kourtney, we need a way out." He contained to grunt and try to break it, then it hit me. Darry's tools. "Darry! Your tools!" "Your a Genius!" He reaches back and pulled out a hammer, "Cover DJ's ears!" I nodded and did as he said as he slammed the hammer against the window. "Get ready to hold your breath baby." I kissed DJ's head, I knew he had no idea what I was talking about but I prayed to god that he was smart enough to hold his breath when the water hit him.

Darry broke it and water came gushing in as the car sank all the way down into the lake, now fully submerged. Darry got out of the window and motioned for me to hand him DJ, I leaned over and handed him to him. I pulled at my seat belt to get it off but my door was dented and was pressed against it, I was stuck. I pulled at it more and looked at Darry, he tried to come back into the car but I looked at him and shook my head. I pointed to DJ and then up to the surface, "I love you." I mouthed. He looked at his son and then at me, "I love you to." He mouthed back before swimming to the top. I watched him for a few seconds before trying to get out of my seat belt again. Pain began to fill my lungs and spread through out my chest and that's when I knew... I wasn't going to make it.

Darry's POV~
I swam to the top as fast as I could and caught a breath. I Hurd DJ coughing up the water he took in but I was just happy he was going to be okay. "Sir! Over here I'll help you!" A man said I swam to him and he helped me and DJ out of the lake, I noticed three other people there. "Does anyone have a knife! My wife she's stuck down there!" They looked at each other, "I do." A women said, I handed DJ over to the man who helped us out and took the knife before diving back into the lake with out a word. I swam down to the sinking car, I climbed though the broken window and saw kourtney floating in her seat still stuck with her eyes closed, fear ran through me but I worked at a fast pace to cut her seatbelt off. I grabbed ahold of her with one arm and dragged her out of the window with me, it was hard, but I swam to the top with her in my arm.

I took a deep breath as I resurfaced and I watched as the three people who's hands were free came into the water to help me and kourtney. Two of them took her out of my arms and the other one helped me out of the lake. "She's not breathing!" "Is she dead?!" They laid her down on the grass, "No! She's not dead! She can't be." I kneeled down next to her and began to give her CPR.

Kourtney's POV~
I was completely shocked with the scene in front of me. A man, a complete stranger held onto DJ as he was crying for his mama, two other men and a woman were freaking out, the woman calling 9-1-1 and the men stood there watching. Darry was giving me CPR, blowing air into my lungs and giving me chest compressions, he was crying and screaming at me to wake up and not to die. I couldn't help but let a tear fall down my face as Darry screamed, "I love you to much to let you die Kourtney! Please come back to me and DJ! Please!"
