I gazed over the side of Connor's friend's blue pickup truck. Back roads always amazed me. The sharp turns and blurry tree lines made me feel safe. Trees swayed as the spring air tickled their branches. I closed my eyes and let the wind blow my long blonde hair behind me.
Connor sat parallel to me in the back of the truck. I smoothly turned to see Connor staring in my direction. His medium length hair also blowing slightly in the wind. I smiled at him and I watched as a smirk formed on his soft face. I couldn't help but lean into him. I giggled slightly and a bigger grin formed across his face. We just held each other with our noses pressed together.

Mya's Reckless Thoughts

Reese.

Stop.

You're with Connor now. Mya, Reese is gone far away.

Just live life.

Okay you're good.

Where were we.

I slowly press my lips against Connors. I then just laid down in his arms as music from inside the truck blared. In an instant I could hear screams within the car, and Connor and I were thrown from the truck.

1 hour later

My eyes snap open, and I'm instantly hit with a pounding headache. I feel coldness on my forehead. I reach my hand up to my head where I feel a deep wound. I already know that the cold substance is my blood.
I push myself off of the rocky ground, and make my way to the car. My vision is blurred and the car has bust flames out into the open road. I shuffle toward where I see a body. Blood is pouring out from this person, but their face is unclear. As I approach I notice that it's Connor's friend Blake, the driver of the pickup. I feel for a pulse, and realize that it's nonexistent, Blake's gone.
Heavy breathing is coming from beneath the car, and I can hear grunts and moans from behind me. I look behind me, and Connor is dragging himself toward me.

"Connor!" I say rushing to his side.

"I'm okay" he says, and I can tell he's weak.

I return back to the flipped car, and manage to pull the final body out. She's Blake's girlfriend Alaina. She looks to be alive but I can tell she won't make it much longer. I pick her up in both of my arms, and carry her to a rock platform. I turn around to grab water out of the cooler that was in the back of the truck with us. Connor is standing now, and is only limping a little bit.

"Mya you're really bleeding" Connor says.

"I'm alright" I say grabbing water and half melted ice to help Alaina out.

I clean her wounds and she is breathing unsteady, but she's hanging in there. I pick her up and Connor and I run off of the road leaving Blake behind we're both bawling at this point.

"The nearest hospital is little ways away" Connor says.

I pray that we'll be alright.

I pray.
