The Last Phone Call (#Wattys2014)

Chapter 15

The drive went smoothly through the city. The radio was playing the song I wish it didn't, I was having time controlling my emotions in but nature seems to be testing my limit.

If I die young bury me in satin,

Lay me down on a bed of roses,

Sink me in a river at dawn,

Send me away with the words of a love song.... BY BAND PERRY

I was looking at the passing scenary from the window. The wind whipping my hairs away. It was a welcoming feeling it was cool and relaxing, with different songs playing on the radio non which attracted my attention.

When Jack asked me "Are you hungry boy, do you want to eat a snack before we drive on because I will not be stopping untill we reach the place".

"Nah, I am fine I dont feel very hungry lately". I replied without turning around.

"Ok as you wish, just don't bother me later". He said softly.

We drived on without much talking the scenery changed from skyscrapers to small huts and train tracks. I thought he said we were going to the village but he still kept on driving.

This time we were climbing mountain path it wasnt steep or too dangerous but Jack had slowed the car a little.

Ring ring, ding.. "hi mom, yes, sorry, no I did but you didn't pick up. I am fine, Jack is with me and we are on a little working trip, yes mom, I will give you all the details when I return home. Thanx mom your the best.. umm and mom I am sorry for worrying you tell Clara to return my cds if you meet her at the charity, no, she has her cell phone turned off. Ok , yes, of course mom. Bye".

"Well, what was your mom saying", Jack asked.

"Nothing much except why didn't I call her earlier like you said or came home, stuff like that". I gave him a simple reply. He nodded his head and didnt ask me further questions.

Oh great its raining again, no wait thats not rain. It was rocks and land sliding. My God what are we going to do. Jack hit the brakes again and again but the car wouldn't stop. My heart felt like it had reached my mouth.

One of the rocks hit the car making it spin out of control. I had closed my eyes because I felt like vomiting, it was like sitting in one the spinning rides, where images become jumbled and you forget everything. Thats how I was feeling when the car hit the roadside barrier.

The car hit with full force, making me lose conciousness. I don't know for how long I was out but the first thing that came to my mind was Jacks face covered in blood. Then I remembered what happened. I looked at myself I was fine except for some minor scratches but Jack, he wasn't moving.

My biggest mistake was when I moved forward to touch him. I never thought my left hand would find nothing. In my mind my hand should have come in contact with the door..
