Episode 19
The city blurs past me, but my heartbeat is even faster. My hands grip the steering wheel, my foot pressing harder on the gas. The GPS tells me to take a right, but my mind is racing with something else.
Evelyn Carter (FL older sis)
I can’t be late... I just can’t.
The airport is still minutes away. My fingers tap anxiously against the wheel. My chest tightens. This isn’t how it was supposed to go
Evelyn Carter (FL older sis)
Come on, come on...
The red light ahead blinks in warning. I should slow down, but—
A sleek black car speeds through the city streets, weaving through traffic. Inside, Ryan taps his foot impatiently against the floor
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
(leans forward) Speed up, man. I’m already late.
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
Just drive!
Driver
(muttering) This is how we end up in accidents.
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
If you don’t speed up, I won’t need an accident—Jace will kill me himself. The wedding probably already started!
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
Or ended.
Ryan groans, running a hand through his hair. The last thing he needs is to show up late to his best friend’s wedding and hear about it for the rest of his life.
The GPS beeps again. I barely glance at the road—
The impact slams through me. My body jerks forward, my head snapping against the steering wheel. A sharp sting spreads across my forehead.
Everything spins for a moment. I taste blood
Evelyn Carter (FL older sis)
Shit
The car lurches to a stop as a loud crash echoes through the street
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
What the hell—?!
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
(I throw the door open)
Driver
See?! This is why I said—
i wasn't listening. my eyes are locked on the other car. A familiar blonde head slumped against the wheel. Blood trickling down her forehead
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
No. It can’t be.
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
*My stomach twists. I move, before i can think, yanking open her car door. Her breath is shaky, uneven.*
Evelyn Carter (FL older sis)
(softly) Damn it.
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
(My hands move instinctively, carefully lifting her into my arms—bridal style. She feels lighter than i can remember. More fragile.)
Driver
Uh... sir? The hospital?
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
(gritted teeth) Obviously!
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
(I slides into the car, still holding her close. Her breath fans against my neck, and my grip tightens around her waist)
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
(muttering) What is she doing here...?
Wait , what? Ryan knows her?? How???
