I pressed the accelerator and felt the car to accelerate even further but oddly enough I did not feel any fear. It's because i've I had been drinking. Yeah right, I thought ironically and without realizing it I pressed the accelerator again and the speed went up a little more.
I must admit that for a person who is afraid of extremes i was doing very well, not to say that I have surpassed myself. Now I understand why some people love the intensity of speed. The feeling of adrenaline and thinking that somehow you ate denying death was enough to addict to.
At that very moment I felt that even if I died I would not care. I left a bitter laugh and shook my head while more tears appeared in my eyes. Suddenly in an instant I lost the meaning of life and death. I could very well have died after what I saw a while ago.
Everything seemed so foreign and yet so real I did not know what how to react.
Affection. Lie. Betrayal. Friendship. Until yesterday I knew very well who I was and what i wanted. But now? I glanced on at the right side of the road and saw that the light was red but I did not bother to stop. The street was deserted and the time was so late that there was no way to meet anyone. Really, when I became so indifferent?
My gaze fell on the car mirror and the brown eyes that looked back at me were empty. Pain can change a person so quickly. Few seconds and nothing was the same.
Suddenly a light suddenly blinded me for a moment nad I lost the control of the steering wheel. I heard the distinctive sound of the tires when they rub against on asphalt and the next moment I found myself almost on the steering wheel and the car-for-my luck stopped. It seems in a panic I had managed to avoid the collision and stopped the engine.
When I looked at my hands I noticed that I was trembling. It was then that I realized what I had done. A small sob escaped my lips and I closed my mouth with my right hand. What did I do? How could I do something so reckless?
As i reflect on how lucky I was that naothing serious whappened to me i remembered that I had been blinded by a light and terror gripped by the thought of another vehicle. What if I hit someone? Awestruck I took off the belt with shaky hands and found the car.
I looked behind and the sight made my heart sink. A motorcyckle was lying on the ground and smoke was pouring over it. Oh my God ... Without thinking i started running toward it and when I approached quite enough i noticed that there was nowhere passenger. Puzzled I turned my gaze around and then it was when my eyes fell on a young man who had relied on a wall. From the way he was holdingi his foot concluded that he had been injured and immediately i ran to him.
"I'm so sorry" i apologized once i approached him.
He lifted his head and his eyes got so many expressions that do not have time to read. The only thing I was sure about was that I could see the anger in his dark eyes.
"I knew it" he said abruptly "Only a woman would do something like that," he added, and although I knew he had every right to be angry i felt bothered by the way he spoke to me.
"You're right ..." I went on hoping to calm him but he interrupted me.
"How irresponsible can you be, to pass the traffic light with red and with such speed?" He Inquired wildly.
This time I felt the anger rages inside me and before I knew it Ianswered to him "Look I know that it was my mistake-a big mistake, I admit it-but I think what is important for the moment is to make sure you're fine ' i emphasized with clenched teeth.
To my surprise a sardonic smile formed on his lips "Believe me I am skilled enough to take care of myself," he quipped and tried to rest his boddy against the wall in a better way. Now that I was closer I noticed that there was no blood but there was always the chance that it might be broken.
"Maybe we should go to the hospital," i suggested but he raised his hand to stop me before I could continue.
"I don't need your help," he said abruptly "The only thing I want from you is to pay for the damage you did to my bike," he added and pointed with his head to the vehicle which was a few meters away.
"Don't you think your leg is more important?" i asked.
"I already told you that I can look after myself," he reminded me,
"All i want is to help you" I said coldly.
"I think you did enough already".
That's it! Angry I went to my car and took out of my bag all the money that had inside. I found in my wallet 250 euros and without thinking i immediately i throw them on his face. "I suppose this are enough," I said and looked ath him with a wild look.
He stared at the discarded money and remained silent which for some inexplicable reason, got to me even more. "And now since you do not need anything i'm leaving. I also had enough for tonight" I moved to my car.
I walked in and immediately put forward without looking back. My thoughts traveled in his injured foot but immediately i shook the thoughts way from my mind. He had stated that he could take care of himself. Good for him.
Soooo this is just a part of my story. Please let me know what u think! Should i upload the rest of the chapter?
