You Make It Easy

Eight

It was late and storming pretty bad. Luke had pulled over a couple of times. The lightening fled across the sky like a dog being let out of his cage into an open field. The rain came down like bullets shooting at targets, the targets being us. The wind blew furiously into the open landscape that surrounded us. We were the only car on the dark road.

"Where are we? We need to stop and stay somewhere this is very bad Luke." I said with a trembling voice. "It's okay I promise I know what I'm doing." Luke said putting his hand on the wheel cautiously. "Luke I don't know about this. Where are we at?" I asked. "We are probably about two hours from LA. We need to keep going so we can make it there tonight."

Out of no where the wind hit the car spinning up in a circle. The wet road made up slide straight off into the dark field. The bumps ripped the wheels off and then we flipped twice and crashed into a tree beside a creek that was filled to capacity as it seemed. The car was wrecked. It was totally destroyed, as was my left arm. I know it was broken. My head was bleeding a little only a scratch though. I was stuck in my thoughts for a good 2 minutes before my phone, which surprisingly okay after all of that, vibrated. It was a text. "HEY WHERE ARE YOU?" My dad sent me. I wanted to text back but I was in so much pain and so scared.

I dialled 911 while looking over at Luke. He looked like he was dead. It scared me. So I grabbed him. "LUKE?" I screamed at him. No response. "911 what's your emergency?" "Uh I've been in an accident I don't know where I am. I'm so scared. My boyfriend is hurt bad he isn't waking up I don't know if he is okay." I said crying. "We have sent police to you based on our tracer device. I want you to stay on the phone and do exactly what I tell you to do okay, we are in this together." "Okay okay" "now can you get out of the car? Is there an exit or is it blocked?" The woman said. "The door fell off its raining on me" "is the car flipped over anyway?" She asked calmly clicking buttons that I could hear through the raspy signal on the phone. "It's on its side. I am at the top. I can try to climb out but there is a lot of water." "Okay let's try to get your boyfriend out okay?" "Okay." Wait I thought about what I said. My boyfriend? He isn't my boyfriend. Is he? "Now listen you need to get out and look around. Is there a sunroof?" "No there isn't" I said walking around the car knee deep in water. "I heard a cough from inside the car. "LUKE LUKE ARE YOU OKAY?" No response. I looked inside. He was breathing I could see his chest moving in and out. It was a relief. "Now you need to unbuckle your boyfriend." "His name is Luke please call him Luke." "Sorry ma'am unbuckle Luke." I reached in and clicked his seatbelt. The water was rising faster than earlier. It had been almost 20 minutes and no cops or anything. Not even a sound. "Lift him up can you do that?" "No no my arm is hurt it's broken." "Well just hang up on me. Use your good arm. But you need to carry him to the road so my team can see you. Just try your best to do this for me okay. Please. The storm you are in is called to bring more rain it will be flooded in no time at your location." I looked around and all I saw was darkness and lightening. "okay I'll try I will." I hung up and turned my light on my phone all the way up so I could see.

"Luke you are going to have to work with me here." I said basically talking to a brick wall. I lifted him out of the seat. Wow he is really light for a tall guy. "Okay let's do this together" I whispered. "Ohhhh my goDDDD" I screamed. My arm was hurting so bad. The water was almost to my waist now. Finally I got Luke out. He slumped down almost under the water. "Crap dude come on." I said. The water made him lighter than before. It was good. Easier than I thought. I saw the road as the lightening flashed across the sky lighting up the field that now looked like a lake. "Oh my god why is this happening." My phone light dimmed making visibility almost dead. I reached the road. It was cold. I sat down with Luke laying half way on me. He looked so peaceful. Still breathing.

I heard sirens coming closer and closer. The water was coming to the road. It had been basically 30 minutes since the wreck. My arm was killing me. I kinda wish I could trade places with Luke. He would take it like a man haha. I laughed at my thoughts. I flashed my light making us known. The cops stopped and the ambulance took Luke on a stretcher into the back. The cops led me to their car covering me with a very uncomfortable jacket. They looked at my arm and questioned me. I just was so worried about Luke.

We arrived at the hospital. I walked with the nurse back to an x ray room. Good news my arm was only knocked out of place. It was now 2 hours since the wreck and all I wanted to do was see Luke. But instead I saw my dad standing in the waiting room with a worried look.
