The morning alarm keeps buzzing making me groan, little light coming from curtains making me squint my eyes. Could this day be any worse? What's the day today? Suddenly I woke up from the disturbing sound of the alarm. The time on the clock was 11:15 am. I had to be somewhere where I don't even wanna be. You would be confused wondering what situation I'm going through. Well, let me get you a little back from where the biggest problem in my life started.
I am Emma stevens, beautiful, confident and career-oriented girl. At the age of 24 where I am on the verge of becoming a novelist, my parents decided to arrange my marriage with their long-lasting childhood friend's son whose name is Adam Cyrus and he is a well-known doctor in the city. What century am I living in? I don't even know that guy and how he looks?

I came out of bed groaning. My mother keeps calling me because there was a lunch party of my engagement where I and my sweet future hubby (whom I hate from the core of my heart) will meet for the first time. So I decided to ignore my parents and plan to meet my friend from childhood in her apartment so my parents won't find me. I decided to wear pink baggie hoodie and black Adidas leggings and decided to do my hair in a bun. My mum keeps calling me the way to my friend's home and my father keeps texting me to arrive on time.

A day pass by and I switched off my phone and didn't go to any lunch party. The day with my friend pass by me crying about my future and my friend Selena heard stories of my damaged life carefully. She is my childhood friend with great heart and great body, with black curly hair and olive skin. She was with me through every possible situation and she knows about my parents how they can be selfish sometimes.  As the day passes by, and it was almost 9 o'clock at night I decided to leave my friends' house and decided to leave for home. I get in my range rover and turn on the music, my favourite Sam Smith was playing on the radio so I decided to sing along while driving. As I was busy singing my mother called me for the 400th time and I mistakenly decided to pick up the call.
Mom: Emma stevens why didn't you pick up my call and where the hell have you been, why were you not in your apartment?

Me: Mom let me explain firs...
Mom: You have been very disappointing for me and your dad today. Why didn't you come to your own engagement lunch?
Me: Mom first of all I didn't even want this engagement in the first place. Secondly, my great fiance was also not there so what is the point of me coming there?
Mom: You are getting so ill-mannered day by day. It was so disappointing for us today, they were all asking about y..... hello? Hello? Emma Stevens...?
*The sound of the crashing car was heard and the call disconnected.*

It was all black in front of my eyes and all I heard was an ambulance's siren. After that, I didn't know what happened and where was I.
