"Rafael, whatever it is you're trying to do, you don't have to do this." She begged him, her voice was shaky and she was trembling, especially since the car was going on full speed. She clung on to the grab handle, shutting her eyes and taking deep breaths at intervals and then opening them to try to talk to him but he wasn't listening. He had his eyes focused on the road.
Rafael stepped on harder on the accelerator and the car got faster.
Olivia got scared. She was almost screaming. She looked at the road, it was literally empty. She couldn't see any cars or people.
She checked the speedometer, it was running at a hundred and sixty kilometers per hour, that was really fast, faster than the regular speed of any car she had ever been in. What was wrong with him? Was he trying to get them killed? To get her killed? Olivia held on tight to her seatbelt, she was losing her breath. What on earth was he doing?
She quickly turned to him.
"Why are you doing this?" Her voice was shaking now. "Why are you being like this?"
Rafael's eyes didn't move from the road.
Olivia turned to the road, she didn't like it, she hated it, she hated the way she was beginning to feel, she hated how fast they were going. She turned back to him.
"Is it because of what I said ?" She swallowed hard "Fine, I take it back, I take it all back. I don't love you anymore, so stop the car."
Rafael rolled his eyes. He stepped on the accelerator harder, gripping his steering as hard as he could.
Two hundred kilometers per hour now.
Olivia was heart started to race, her chest area became tighter all of a sudden, her head was spinning too. There was a bridge ahead, she could see it. Just at that moment, her memories began to get clouded and then push themselves back into her head. It was happening all over again, that moment, it was nineteen ninety six all over again. She was beginning to remember all of it.
How heated the car was as her mother and her father sat in the front seats having that long fight, how extremely scared and terrified she had been especially with all that rain.
Talking about rain.
She heard the loud rumbling of thunder again. It was about to rain. Olivia looked away from the clouds, tightening her grip on her seatbelt saying a short prayer in her head. Another rumble and then it started to rain.
"Mummy."
She opened her eyes again the moment she heard a tiny voice in her head, it was her voice, it was her voice from twenty three years ago. Olivia was beginning to shake all over, she was trembling just as they got on the bridge.
""B-baby,I need you to listen to me okay, your Daddy and I, We've decided that we can't stay here anymore. So we are going to go somewhere better, somewhere safe okay? Mummy needs you to stay awake till we get into the car, can you do that for me?"
