Together We Are Stronger

Chap. 23

No One's POV:

        The car stood still. 

        The figure within showed no movement.

        The door of another car slammed shut.

        A woman ran up to the sill car. Knocking on the window she began to yell out, "Are you okay?"

        The figure didn't even awknowledge the lady. It didn't even face her. Instead it continued to look forward. Horror visible in her eyes.

        Again, the lady knocked on the window, repeating her previous question. "Are you okay?"

        This time she was awknowledged.

        The car window was rolled down and a faint voice spoke, "Yeah. I'm sorry... I..."

        "Shhh. It's okay, I'm sure you got distracted..."

       "Amy."

         Amy blinked as she tried to take in everything that had just happened.

        "Well, Amy, Is everything okay?"

        "Ye-eah, I...."

        "Don't cry. I won't say anything but be careful next time. Okay?"

        Amy put a hand up to her face, realizing she was crying. It could be the fear of almost crashing or maybe it was the feeling of stupidity for being cheated on. Either way, she was indeed crying.

        "Okay. I'll pay attention."

        With that the lady was off, leaving Amy sitting in the car.

        She rested her forehead on the steering wheel and sighed.

        How could she be letting this whole situation get to her? Allowing her sadness and anger to take over her body had almost caused her to get into an accident. Thank goodness the other driver had been able to maneuver out of her way and thankfully Amy had been able to do the same. It has all just been a scare. In all of this, she was glad that the lady hadn't called the cops and been really cool about the whole thing.

        Amy straightened up, shook her head, and drove off.

        Liam put the bottle down and rested a hand on Karma's shoulder, but only to be attacked.

        Karma pulled away from his touch and yelled out, "Don't touch me!"

        He knew or at least thought that Karma might be thinking that he had been to blame for Amy finding out but he really hadn't.

        "Karma, I had nothing to do with this."

        She stood up, face stained with tears, "Then who told her because I obviously didn't and you were the only other person who knew."

        Tony. Tony had been the other person who knew, but Liam was not about to tell her that because it would make everything way worse than it already was.

        "I don't know Karma."

        She ran to the car, on a mission to go follow Amy to her house in an attempt to get her to talk with her.

        "Karma, where are you going? I don't think you should be driving in your condition," Liam shouted behind her.

        "I'm going to get my girl back and Liam, you don't know me," she yelled back before driving off.
