Chapter 25- Collision

Danni's POV

Emily had just left the door and I instantly felt the stress of the unachievable amount of work i had to power through sink in. The days to graduation and the thoughts of what would come after circulated my mind, reminding me as to why i needed to spend my days without the girl that means everything to me.

My Emily-thought bubble was instantly popped as Mr Marsh peered his head into my door. "Hello Dan, I just came to say hello." I sighed into my hands at the idea that he thought that was an appropriate excuse to interrupt my work.

"Well you said it, and I really appreciate you coming to see me but I've got a very busy evening ahead of me, I'm sorry." I tried my best to lace my statement with sympathy and kindness.

He continued to glance around my room as if he didn't even listen to a word i said. "So did you want to come to my place for dinner tonight?  Might help de-stress you." His words hung in the air for a few minutes whilst i tried to comprehend if he was being serious or not.

"I just told you I'm busy tonight."

"Right, doing?" He surrounded his words with a tone of entitlement.

"It's not exactly your business, but graduation is drawing in and I've got a ton of marking as well as study pack preparation for my students." I was relatively new to the job and this was my first exam season at this current school, therefore the need to prove myself and guide my students to the end of their exams and allow them to come out with exceptional grades was my top priority.

"Ah i see. You do so much for your students, they're very important to you, yes?" The suspicion in his voice was annoying.

"Yes, its my career to do so." Was that not the most obvious thing ever? I thought it was.

"I bet you pick favourites too?" This statement was followed by him glancing at me, the first time he'd looked at me since he entered my room.

"All of my students are equally capable of excelling in their exams. I have equal faith in each one of them." I was not exactly lying when i said this- the year 13s were an amazing class and they were all crazily gifted. I was lucky to have such a great group of pupils so fresh to the job.

"What about the one that you seem to put extra time into?" The student he was talking about was no mystery, but i still decided to play dumb.

"You'll have to elaborate, sir. It's a rather large class. You could be referring to any of my pupils- they all get my attention and help if they need it." Which again, was true. I always made sure my students were aware that they could come and see me in their breaks or after school for additional help.

"The Brown girl, who seems to be well acquainted with your company." The malice in his voice was obvious and crude.

"Emily? Yes. She stays weekly after school to catch up on the time she missed whilst she was going through a rough time. It was suggested by the principle. Is there a problem?" He was really starting to get on my nerves and i wanted nothing more than for him to leave me to my caffeine and work.

"It's just that she may start thinking she's more special than the other students. She might get too comfortable. And that's not professional. She seems to be here very frequently."

"Things remain strictly professional between me and Emily, sir. Much more professional than your attempts to coax me into dating you, at least. Please concern yourself with your own business and leave me to mine. If Emily starts acting unprofessionally, the principle will be told and she will be paired with a different member of staff to study with." I was seething by the time the last word that had left my mouth

I wasn't sure who he thought he was, mentioning 'professionalism' after trying to force me into a date with him on multiple occasions. And to think i was sat here explaining myself to him. I glared at him as he stood in the doorway wordlessly. "So are you going to leave my classroom, or am I?" Being in his presence was absolutely infuriating and i could no longer stand it.

I watched as his baby blue eyes started to fill with tears. "I'm sorry, Dan."

Watching his pathetic attempts to guilt trip and manipulate me made something click, which i wanted to scream at myself for not noticing before.

"His eyes were light".

That's how Dan described the intruder, who seemed to think it was appropriate to snoop outside of my apartment. Could they of been the same 'light eyes' that I was peering into right now? And the note, who else could be so nosey and bothered by my personal life, but the creepy colleague who would stop at nothing to make me go out with him.

Everything suddenly made so much sense and i could feel the detest filling my body as i watched the reason for most of my problems whimper in the doorway of my classroom- exactly where i needed to pass through. I knew i had to leave before i said something stupid and confirmed whatever he thought he knew. I grabbed my bag and made for the door, purposely barging him out of the way with my shoulder, omitting a shocked groan from his mouth. He turned and watched after me, with a face I couldn't read because of my refusal to turn and look at him.

I was sat behind my steering wheel, with my hands shaking more than ever in no time. I fumbled my key in the ignition and started to back out of the school car park, still in complete disbelief.

The moon had begun to appear in the sky, despite a trace of daylight still clinging to the sunset. The light colours moulded together made a ridiculously picturesque scene, which i was in no mood to appreciate.

I drove my car down the same roads that I did every single day of my career, the same quiet side roads; the same quiet suburban streets; the same lifelessness on the roads.

The world had gone quiet, but my mind had not. My head consisted of multiple different trains of thought, almost colliding and merely skimming each other. I was still in utter disbelief and was really starting to question whether life could get anymore harsh.

And it did.

Life hit me hard, in the form of another vehicle speeding towards me faster than i could react. In no time, everything had flashed before my eyes, starting as the headlights of the other car, and then changing to the lights of houses as my own car flipped and skidded, and then ended as descending darkness once my car had settled in a position that sent an agonising pain through my entire body. The pain invaded and became me, as my world went black.

The cacophony of crashes and clashes ended, everything ceased.
