The Life Of a Teenage Girl.

Chapter 66

Glass flew everywhere as I gasped and screamed. The car turned sharply and fiercely as I held onto the window. I didn't know what was happening. All I felt was my heart beat and color flashing to my cheeks. I was scared and shocked. I could feel adrenaline go throughout my body and it was unstoppable. I closed my eyes tight as my head flew forward with force and banged onto the cardboard. I felt pain spread across my head as I held my head as everything seemed to stop. I was breathing heavily, not knowing what happened. This all felt like a dream..was it? Or was this all real? I opened my eyes as I looked around, I winced. My neck hurted, my whole body seemed to be hurt too. I saw the other car that was turning scratched up. The car wasn't bad but I'm pretty sure ours were. I saw a guy come out of the car as my eyes closed again. Tired. I just wanted to sleep and keep dreaming, not waking up. "Somebody call 911!" I heard somebody shout as more people got out of their cars. I took my hand away from my head as I looked down. There was a red crimson liquid on my pale hand. Blood. My breathing got heavy as I looked to my left to see Tyler moving up. He seemed like he couldn't move though. I reached over to him as I shook him. "Tyler...Tyler." My voice croaked, it was dry. Not to top it off my throat hurted since I screamed so much and too loud. "Tyler!" I tried to raise my voice as I shook his body over and over. I felt tears come to my eyes. God no...not again! Not again! "Wake up!" I yelled as I hit him again and again. I started crying for help. For the first time I actually felt really really helpless aside from my mom not being here..
I then felt my door being kicked open as a strong hand grabbed my body and helped me out of the car. I could hear sirens all around us and people shouting and screaming. Every time I seem to be moving away, he was moving away from me too... I reached out my hand as I struggled against the person. "No! No! Let me go! Let me go!" I yelled as is screamed, kicked, and cried. "No! Your in no good condition to be doing this!" An un- familiar voice said into my ear. I felt myself being pushed up into something hard as my back rested on something lean and relaxing. I felt a mask being put onto my face as I looked back to see them taking Tyler away..my Tyler away. "No....stop." I was struggling with my words as I looked back up. I felt tired again just more tired. I then saw a man looking down at me. "Your going to be okay. Your gonna be okay." He keep saying as he then looked back to one of his men. A police officer. "Help! She's bleeding out over here!" I heard him yell. I did felt a pain on my side. I then saw something my eyes couldn't read. It was my mother standing right next to me, looking down at me with sad eyes. She closed her eyes as she put her hand on my forehead. "You'll wake up soon, I promise. I'm sorry Helena." She whispered. I could hear her beautiful voice all day if I could...
I closed my eyes as I fell into a deep peaceful sleep. The only thing I could think about was Tyler's bloody face.

I was running, running as far as I could or as long as I can. I ran faster and faster. My surroundings were a blur all around me.
I couldn't make out what was around me nor in front of me. I suddenly stopped as if something was pulling me to come to a path. I looked to see a small path that lead up more further, it seemed more lighter that way. It had more light. It seemed like hours I have been walking up this path. Every step I took, more light would shine around me and in my face. When I got to the path, finally, I squinted my eyes as the bright light shined my eyes. It got very light until I couldn't see black no more. I felt my body being lifted away, like somebody taking it away or me floating on air which felt weird but somehow peaceful. I opened my eyes as I looked around me again. I looked ahead then my eyes widened as I let out a sharp gasp. "Mom?" I was face to face with my mom who was looking happily as she could ever be. Her hair was healthy, no greys. Her eyes were shining with brightness and her smile was bright like the sun... No tube through her nose or no bags on her face. She looked like her young self again. I have never seen my mom look this good as ever actually! Her hair was even straight and she seemed like her self again. Her smile grew brighter as she held my shoulders and hugged me. Her arms wrapped around my shoulders more tightly as she hugged me like she would never see me again.
I hugged her back even tighter as I took a deep breath and exhaled her vanilla scent. It was good to be back in her arms again. "My beautiful girl! Oh Helena your doing so good!" She said as she pulled away from our hug and held my face in her hands. Examining me closely. I took her hands and gripped onto them as I smiled at her feeling and touch. "Mother! It's so good to see you again! I got your letter and I'm very pleased to know that your watching over me and that your here!" But then again..could she really be right in front of me? Right here right now? I took a step back a little as my eyes were on her figure. She smiled more but then her smile loosened as she frowned and looked at the ground sadly. She bit her lip as I looked at her concerned. "What? Why is your face like that?" I asked her as she looked back up at me. She sighed as she held the bottom of her dress. "Your not suppose to be here. Your suppose to be with Tyler and the family. When your ready, you'll be ready and I'll will take you." She smiled sadly as she then grabbed my hands again. "Mom..what's happening? Im- I'm scared...am I dead?" I asked as I thought back to the car crash. She shook her head as she sighed. "No but your here so we could talk. I want to talk to you and give you warnings." She looked me in the eyes seriously. "Okay..." I swallowed. What can she talk to me about? I was really curious and scared and worried. "Don't trust anyone that you know you can't trust. Don't get too close to that person sweetie. Also take care of your friends like your doing now. Your doing so great hunny and I'm proud of you and your actions." She then smiled, "you'll will win a battle too." I saw tears coming out of her eyes as she shook her head and let out a shaky sigh. "I didn't want to see you...I knew that I would miss you again." I frowned then reached out my hand to wipe her tears. I felt wet on my hands as I wiped it on myself. I sniffed and shook my head. "Don't cry or I will start to cry." She smiled then hugged me again. "Someone is here to see you too." She whispered in my ear as I looked at her while pulling away. "Who?" I then turned around as I followed moms eyes as I gasp. His hair was much darker and his eyes were more brighter. He was in a well looking white suit as smiled up at me. I also noticed that his teeth was more whiter, if that's even possible. "Hello Helena." I stood there frozen as I looked back at my mom who gave me a smile. She mouth to me 'go to him.' I turned back around as I stared at Duke. "Duke." I whispered as I ran forward and pulled him into a tight hug. He hugged me back as I breath in his regular cologne smell.
"You look really good. I really miss you but I'm doing good now." I whispered in his ear as I practically hear him smiling ear to ear. We pulled away as he looked at me. He then frowned. "Helena take care of Tyler and your friends for me especially him." I raised my brow as I looked at him confused. "To tell you the truth, I'm not the right one to love you right. It was Tyler, him all along. I just made her heart more broken." I shook my head as I grabbed his arm. "No! You were my first and I won't ever forget you cause of that. You did many great things for me in the past, you even gave me life and advice. Man..were we wild." I said and smiled thinking back to our moments. He smiled too. "Helena it's time for you to go." I heard mom said, I knew she didn't want to ruin the moment. I let go of his hand as I went to go to her to return back but he grabbed mine. "Wait, there's something I want to do before you leave." I turned around as I looked at him. "Duke, what-" I was cut off by his lips going onto mine. It seemed weird because I didn't feel anything like I did with Tyler...it was almost like I kissed my brother. My eyes widened as I then figured out Duke was right. He wasn't met for me! It was Tyler all along! I decided to kiss back anyway to make him feel better as we pulled away. I heard mom sigh. "Why did you do that?" I asked as I touched my lips I'm shocked. "To remember my first love and... to show you the truth." I then realized that he actually did it to help me realize that I was over him and he wasn't the one I needed. I smiled. "Thank you Duke. I love you." I said as he smiled lightly. "I love you too." He then looked at me with soft eyes. "Tell my father that- I want him to know that I'm still here." He then sighed and looked down as my back was turned to him. I faced my mother. "Say hi to Carly and your father for me. Even that dog Cody." We both smiled at each other as she hugged me again. "Good bye darling. I love you." She whispered as she cried. She then bend down and placed a soft delicate kiss on my head as I felt her tears dripping off her cheeks onto my head. I closed my eyes , feeling the small tingles run through my body. "Goodbye mom." I whispered before I felt wind blowing my hair and my body being lifted again just like the beginning. I decided to not fight it and just go with the flow. I smiled knowing that I got what I wanted. To see my loved ones. Even though Duke wasn't for me, I still appreciate him and what he done for me. Maybe it was just a crush. He wasn't my first crush but he was my first boyfriend and I know that we did pretty good together. "I love you." My mothers words rang in my ears as I felt myself being pulled into the real world.
