I walk along the side of the road, trying to balance on the curb, lost in my own thoughts like usual, and then the sirens sound. I start to sprint as fast as my legs will take me, but its not fast enough. My heart is pumping, and my mind is filled with fright and panic. I know I cannot outrun the police, but I have to try. The sirens get louder and louder, and my head starts to pound. I need to keep going, I think. If I don't, they will kill me. I try to run harder, but the sirens are getting closer. I no longer feel the burning sensation in my legs, just numbness. I breathe hard and heavy, sweat already pouring down my face. Panic overwhelms my head, and I can't think. The sirens are too close. I look behind me and see a police car. I hear one of the cars screech to a halt, and footsteps add to the sirens, but I keep running. I Hear a gunshot, and my ears start to ring. Adrenaline rushes through me, making the whole scene feel unreal. Another gunshot that ricochets off the wall. Please don't hit me, please don't hit me, I plead desperately. I sprint as fast as possible, but I can't go forever, and it's hard to out run cars that fast, trust me I've tried. Then something hard hits me in the shoulder, and my legs give out.
...We were so caught up in the shared moment of care free joy to notice the midnight grey Toyota pickup truck speeding directly towards us. Meters before impact dad finally caught on to what was about to happen, despite it being day the approaching vehicle's headlights blinded us as our cars breaks slammed on, the sound of the tires melting away as the rubber tires scraped against the pavement filled the air and the scent of burning rubber overwhelmed my nostrils, despite our efforts the brakes didn't slow us down, we were to late. There was nothing we could do as we collided head on..."

Attempt two at writing a book lmao, summaries without spoilers are not my strong point but here you go:
After a tragic child hood accident Astra is left utterly alone, forcing her to make a massive move across the states to live in Tennessee with her grandmother. A few years pass and Astra finds it difficult to deal with the trauma she experienced as a young child, but surrounded by friends and throwing herself into education she starts to heal, until she meets Jason. In the beginning Jason was a kind, caring guy who seemed genuinely interested in getting to know Astra, but not everyone is who they seem to be.
