Chapter 16 - It doesn't even take two seconds

Melony's POV
—————————————
I quickly kiss Shawn on the cheek before I walk out the door. Once I do, I shut it behind me, and I get a, yet another, gut feeling. I shrug it off, and I get into the car.

This is going to be difficult. The years have gone by so quick and I can't even put it into words. I don't know if Shawn will ever be on tour again, and I don't know when I will have another job. Ever since my last one, when I got pulled out for maternity leave, and then again for being sick, it's been hard to find another job.

I have been really trying to hold things together, and paychecks have been coming in consistently, so Shawn is still good in business. I'm just not sure when he has to go back. Back to the studio, back to the way things were. Him being gone for weeks on end, and having to live with him through a phone.

Not to mention his little girls growing up without him. He is so afraid that our life will fall apart if he isn't here, but then again, the girls can tell amazing stories about how their dad is a singer/songwriter. And we get to watch tons of people all over listen to his music. It's crazy. But I just don't know if I'm ready for that to come back.

I have only had him with me again, one day. And for one day, one NIGHT actually, is making me crazy. Thinking about this is driving me mad. And I just don't know if I'm ready for it yet.

I pull out of the driveway, and I start down the road, exiting our street. As I drive down a busy road, I pull out my phone and call Shawn. I know I can't be going to the store for JUST a cake.

"Hello?" The line picks up, and I laugh.

"Hello Shawn, this is your wife speaking," I say into the phone and he chuckles.

"How May I help you?" He questions and I sigh.

"I wish to know if there is anything else I need to get at the store?" I ask him and he hums.

He stops talking for about two minutes and I hear him chuckling.

"Your parents want wine," He says and I smile.

"Alright love. Anything else?" I ask him and he chuckles again.

"The girls want ice cream And I need deodorant," he sighs, and I smile to myself.

"Okay, baby. I will be home shortly. I love you." I tell him, and he is silent all of a sudden.

"Hello?" I ask and he returns.

"Sorry, baby, your parents were talking to me. What did you say?" He asks and I giggle.

It doesn't even take two seconds for my world to go completely black, when I see a big truck coming really fast towards my windshield, and hearing a loud crash, and honking horns.

Shawn's POV

"Sorry baby, your parents were talking to me. What did you say?" I ask, and she giggles slightly.

My attention turns off her for about three seconds, until I hear a loud crash, hisses, honking horns, and car alarms. My heart drops and I wish that this was fake.

"Melony? MELONY?!" I shout and her parents look at me, like I'm insane.

"Shawn...please help..." I hear her try to let out and that when the line goes dead.

I start to freak out, and I run around finding my coat and my keys.

"Shawn what's the matter honey?" Sharon asks and I try not to cry.

"Melony's just been in an accident. We need to get to the hospital." I tell them, and the girls begin to cry.

I pick them up, one in each hand, and I take them out to the car and buckle them in there car seats. Brian sits in the back with them, and Sharon sits up front with me, while I drive.

Oh god. I hope we make it there in time. I start to think that it's not safe for me to drive, with how bad I'm freaking out, but the only thing occupying my thoughts right now, is Melony. Melony just got hurt and I can't let her go through it alone again. God, why is this life so messed up.

Life so isn't fair.
