A lot of plot twist on the upcoming chapters

***

A 7 year old Jennie was with her Mom, they're on their way home, its already night and it was raining hard. Thunderstorms were visible, Jennie was afraid of it by some reasons. Meanwhile, the car's light was the only light on the road.

Jennie's Mom was driving in a moderate speed because it is dangerous if she will increase the speed. On the other hand, Jennie's mother, Mrs. Kim... was already struggling with the car's brake, she noticed that it wasn't working. She was worried that they might be involved into an accident, she didnt let Jennie know what was happening.

Instead Mrs. Kim searched for her phone, and it was inside of the bag which was on Jennie's seat.

Her daughter was sleeping and she didn't want to disturb her daugther that's why she did it herself, her other hand was on the wheel and the other one was the one she's using to take out her phone. She's having a hard the getting it because it was on the lowest part, since her hand moved a lot, Jennie wokes up.

"Mom? what are you doing?" Jennie asked, scrubbing her eyes.

"Oh nothing sweetie, just getting the phone. Im going to call your father." Mrs. Kim replied, her hand still on the bag.

Mrs. Kim was losing focus on the road, and that's why she didn't notice that there was something on the road that made their car lose its way.

Disregarded on getting the phone, Mrs. Kim's attention was now on the road. Jennie knew what was going on and that's when she started to panic.

"Mom. What's going on? What is happening to our car?" Little Jennie said, scared.

"Just a little problem princess, can you please get my phone?" Mrs. Kim asked, and Jennie took out the phone and gave it to her Mom.

While her mother was searching for her husband's number, the car was literally not working properly. Despite on what the two was facing right now, all that Mrs. Kim prayed was her daughter's safety.

The car lost its control, and the brake wasn't working. Even Mrs. Kim stepped on it a lot of times, it was surely not working.

"Jennie, baby, hold my hand." Jennie's mom said, authoritatively. Jennie didn't replied, she immediately took her mother's hand.

"Look at me," Mrs. Kim said, her daughter looked at her, "I love you, so much. Always remember that, whatever happens, I'll always be with you. But now, i want you to be strong, like what i taught you. Promise me to be happy, and dont worry. Mom will be fine, okay?" Mrs. Kim said, tearing up.

"Mom- what are you sayi---" Jennie didn't had the chance to continue what she was about to say because the car... already crashed on to a post near the highway.

Lisa's POV

I woke up by the sound of Jennie's loud breathing. I immediately got up and turned my face to her, she was still sleeping. I stood up and opened the lamp on the nightstand, her eyes were wet, i think she had a bad dream.

"Baby, wake up" I said while tapping her cheeks, she slowly opened her eyes and got up. "I-i had a dream." Jennie said, catching her breath.

"What was it?" I came close to her and hugged her tight, she wasn't replying. "Do you want to talk about it?" I asked, she shaked her head.

"Okay, im here. You don't need to be scared, i got you." I broke the hug and kissed her forehead, "Lets go back to sleep, its only 2am." Jennie nodded. "Cuddle." Jennie continues, "Cuddle me."
