As we pulled off It was really quiet in the car, so I put on the radio. Scrolling threw the stations trying to decide on one. I guessed because it was so early their wouldn't be any good music on so I just put on the news forecast station.
"Gooood morningggg Seaaattttle" Amanda Grey shouted from inside the radio.
"How's it going on this fine September morning" she asked
"Cold as hell" Charlie snarled. We both laughed.
We stopped at a red light for what had seemed to be forever. I reached over and grabbed Charlie's hand, intertwining our fingers. He leaned over and kissed me on my cheek. "I love you" he whispered in my ear. I smiled and said "I love you too."
Finally the light had changed from red to green, indicating that we could go. Charlie hit the gas and we started across the intersection when suddenly I felt this big jolt of pressure, it felt as though every bone in my body had just been broken. We had just been hit by an 18 wheeler.
I had been knocked out from the blow. I opened my eyes, I wasnt in the car like I had thought. I walked around looking for Charlie. And then suddenly I seen myself, I was a few yards away from Charlie's Chevy Truck. No that cant be I thought. Im right here walking and talking. " Am I dead" I whispered to myself tears starting to fall down my face.
As I stumbled over to myself, hands shaking and all. I knelt down slightly rubbing my frozen cheek. I moved my head a little bit. There was blood oozing out of a big gash on the back of my head. I started sobbing uncontrollably. I heard the sirens blaring of the paramedics , the fire truck and the police car. Once the paramedics reached me, 2 got out of the truck. They ran over to me with all their machines and a gurnie.
"Hello" I shouted at the paramedic
"Why aren't you listening to me" I said now crying
"She is alive but if we dont get her air lifted fast she will die" said one of the paramedics
"Ok ill call the chopper" the other one said.
"I found another one." The older paramedic said running over to the driver side of the car.
I ran over to where he was to see Charlie all bloody. The paramedic placed his index and middle finger in the nape of Charlie's neck checking for a pulse.
"No pulse" he shouted to the younger paramedic while putting his head on Charlie's chest trying to listen for a heart beat.
"He's dead" he said holding Charlie's hand.
"Poor kid" he whispered.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing he just said that my boyfriend Charlie the love of my life was dead. He ran over grabbing a white tarp placing it over Charlie's lifeless body. I was speechless right now I couldnt believe it.
As we waited for the helicopter to arrive , the younger paramedic took out a pair of medical scissors and cut open my shirt. Perve I thought to myself. He started attaching all these wires and cords to me, like I was some kind of experiment. That pissed me off a little bit, but I knew he was only doing his job.
"Aye John give me a hand will you?" The younger paramedic asked
"Yeah Mike im coming" said the older paramedic
When they were both next to me, they each grabbed a side of the blanket I was wrapped in. They lifted me ontop of the gurnie as the helicopter approached us. They popped the gurnie up on its wheels and rolled me over to the helicopter.
The two paramedics lifted up the front of the gurnie, as the pilot lifted up the bottom placing me in the middle of the helicopter. The two paramedics stood outside of the helicopter debating who would get in with me and who would stay back and contact my parents. Finally they decided who would come. I hoped that the older one would come he seemed less creepy, but still the younger one came.
As he climbed into the helicopter, sitting down in the seat across from me. He had to strap down the gurnie so that I didn't bop around when the helicopter took off. I was so afraid when the helicopter lifted from off the ground. I had never been in a helicopter, let alone in the air period.I havent even left Washington. It sucks the first time I ever get to be in a helicopter are under these circumstances.
