The storm was so bad you couldn't see anything and if you put you hand out the window it would hurt. I looked at Bryce like oh shit. What we gonna do now. Our head lights where on but it didn't do much. Traffic was slow. Slow is in not moving. My first instinct was to call my mom. I dialed her number and called. "Hunny are you and Bryce okay?!? Are you safe" mom was worried sick. I was too. "We're fine, but traffic is not moving. We might be here for a while" I said gripping Bryce's hand. We finished the call. Bryce called his mom too. We turned on the radio to the weather so we could be informed on what to expect. "I'm scared" I said shaking. This never happened to me. "I wish my dad was here" I started crying. My dad always had a solution. It's hard without him. "It'll be okay. I promise. I won't let you get hurt" Bryce's words soothed me. I just hope he keeps his word. I changed the channel and turned on some music to pass some time. But I put on sad songs just to deepen my sadness. I don't know why I put on sad music when I should probably put on happy music but oh well. We're still sitting only a mile away from where we were stopped last time. It's been 30 minutes. "Okay let's change this before you go crazy by crying so much." Bryce said changing the songs to up beat music. Through out my life music has helped me cope in hard times. It's like a life saver. "Do you want to make a TikTok. It might cheer you up?" Bryce asked. I know he's trying to help me but he's just not to good at it right now. I thinks it's that he's new to relationships. Or so I think. I silently agree and he sat his phone against the window to get the right angle. We post a video on each of our accounts. The video is posted and likes are flowing in. I move on to Instagram. As I scroll threw pictures of beautiful women I just come to think of me. My imperfections and mistakes. I've struggled with myself before. I would starve myself to try to get slim. But I've learned over time that I am beautiful but I doubt that sometimes. I look to Bryce to ask a question that might hurt him. "Do you think I'm ugly and wish you never met me. Are you just faking this to make me feel good" I say tears streaming down my cheek. I see his eyes widen. The rain and sound of my tears mix together. Bryce is speechless. "Change seats with me" he demanded. "I won't let you drive like this and get in an accident" I agreed and we passed each over the consol between the seats. We buckle our selves and soon traffic starts. It was silent until Bryce starts," don't ever say that. You are very beautiful and I love you." I smile. His response is so heart warming.

     It's been 30 minutes and traffic is moving but the storm is still here. We drive up by a lane that merged into another one and pass a car crash. But up ahead was our turn. There's a car swerving and we try and pass it but instead get hauled into a ditch. We didn't get hurt but the car did. I was calling the cops and Bryce was helping me outside of the car. I was still in shock. I couldn't move. I finished the call and I'm being held by Bryce. Tears in his eyes. He called his and my mom already. I was to weak. The cops, ambulance , tow truck, and fire truck came and took my car and me and Bryce went into the ambulance. They examined both of us giving us both medicine. Bryce didn't need much but I guess I did. I fell asleep in the way to the hospital. When I wake up I'm in the stretcher and being pushed down to a room. Bryce was walking next to the bed. When we arrive into the room my mom and Bryce's mom come in. Shortly after the doctor walks in. "I'm Dr. Gregg and Chloe is in shock. She'll be here for a few hours then she can go home. Nothing to bad." He said. Every one was relieved. My mom thanked him and turned to me. "Car shopping tomorrow?" She said. Now that my car was smashed I needed another. "A Lamborghini sounds good" I said jokingly. "Nah, I want another civic" I said. "Sounds like a plan. Mother daughter day" I smiled. I haven't had a one on one day with my mom in a while.

     It's been an hour and every one of us have been on our phones. The doctor came in and told us that I'll be able to go home in another hour. They did a cat scan over my head just to make sure. It showed that I was just a little bit in shock still. "Honey, I'm going to head home now" Lisa said to Bryce. We all got a hug from her and she was on her way out. "I love you guys" I said. I wouldn't have been here with out them. Bryce came into my life at a great time and my mom is like my hero. As I said this I saw a smile creep soon both of their faces. Then I start seeing my mom start to silently cry. She try's to stay strong for me and she does. I stretched my arms out to my mom. She wrapped her arms around me. And we both were crying now. Mom let go and still had one arm around me and one pulling bryce in. We all cried and hugged. We pulled away. "I have to go back to work on Monday so Bryce can you stay with her. Help her with school and so on?" He nodded and we all went back to our phones. The hour passes and I'm now back in my normal clothes and walking to moms car. Bryce is coming with us since his mom left. Bryce an I were in the back of my moms van. I cuddled in his arms. On the way home we stopped at Chick-fil-A. Haha, it's not Sunday. I got chicken nuggets and fries and Bryce got a chicken sandwich. You can't go wrong with their nuggets. "Thanks for taking me with you guys, Julie" Bryce thanking my mom. Mom's always loved helping people. "No problem" she replied. We ate on our way home and finished eating when we got home. We pulled into the garage and unlocked the door. Bryce got out first and helped me out. We threw away our trash in the house once we were inside. Mom started cleaning as usual every Saturday and me and Bryce went to my room. "Can we just watch a movie" I said. "Ya" Bryce said in a soft voice walking towards the bed. I'm already in the covers in a burrito by the time Bryce gets here. We picked out the movie, White Chicks. I needed a good comedy to watch. Half way through I got up to use the restroom, but as I got into the bathroom I collapsed on the floor over the toilet and started throwing up. Once Bryce heard me I knew he had ran to get mom.
They rushed into the bathroom and mom held my hair back and stroked my face. Bryce rubbed my back. It was a solid 5 minutes straight. Once I stopped mom took me into her arms and kissed my head. "You need some rest. I'm sure it's just a side effect" mom said softly. They carried me to my bed and turned off the tv and lights. I got a kiss from both of them and then they left. Left me in the isolation of my room. O got out of bed quietly and put on the hoodie Bryce let me have. I tiptoed back so they didn't hear me. But soon after I drift off to sleep.
