Faster than I should have, I sped around a corner and began to dial Riker's number. It rang and rang. "Hello?" His voice said from my phone...CRASH.

Then white light, I could only see a white light...

Riker's POV

I was sitting up in my room, you know brooding, when my phone rang, it was Emily.

"Hello?" I answered my phone, instead of a response I got screeching tires and a loud crash. My heart stopped.

"E-Emily?" I choked out, their was silence... Then a soft thud. The phone disconnected, I stood there... Frozen. T-this has to be a joke, a sick sick joke. I hang up my phone and run downstairs to see everyone standing their laughing at me as I come down... But that's not what happened. Everyone was doing their own thing.

"Guys... Are you playing a joke on me?" I asked them, everyone looked at me, confused. "No dude why?" Ross said, kinda concerned. "P-please, tell me you're playing a trick on me." I began to shake from the effort of keeping back tears. "Riker what's wrong?" Rydel asked, her whole body tense.

I didn't realize I was falling to the ground, I didn't realize I was crying, I didn't realize I was begging for them to be playing a joke on me. All I realized, was my heart imploding, my life crumbling and the image of Emily alone, bleeding in her car, her head slack. "E-Emily...s-Sh called me, I h-heard tires and a c-crash." I stuttered out as Rydel hugged me tightly, her hugs usually made me feel better but right now all I felt was cold.

Emily's POV

Cold, why am I so cold? What happened? The white light hurts my eyes....but I hurt, I hurt so bad..

Riker's POV

I sit on the floor, Rydel hugs me as I struggle to not go into histarical sobbing, again. Ross, Ratliff, Ryland and Rocky were trying to figure out how to look for Emily, if it was a car crash she could be anywhere.

Car crash, I picture Emily's car flipped her head dangling as blood pools from her head and her eyes stay open. A sob racks through my body as I press my hands to my eyes, I tried to keep those thoughts away from I can't!

"What if we just start from here and walk in every direction. We'll call if we find her." Rocky suggested, everyone seemed to think that was the best plan. We all separated to go in our opposite directions. I went towards town, as was my appointed direction. I struggled to keep my breathing steady as I walked around, looking for Emily's car crash site. The thought made my insides turn and try to jump out my throat.

I walked to town, as I rounded a corner I saw a mass pile up of traffic. "Emily." I breathed, tears threatening to spill over again. I ran past car after car until I could see smoker from an engine and shattered glass. I slowed to a jog, I approached the site of the crash site..
