chapter one: the crash

Noon. A screach could be heard in the distance. No one paid any mind to the sound for it was not uncommon to hear the sound of a screaching car. More teens have been getting their licence and driving like mad, but this time was different. A crash was soon heard along with the instant uproar of chatter comming from the sidewalks.

As people started running twords the crash a tall man with light brown hair and a face with a look that could kill stepped out of his truck. The look on his face said what he was thinking, that it was the other drivers fault for the accident,but the angered look on his face quickly vanished when he saw that the other driver was unconscious and bleeding. "S-someone call 911!" He yelled into the crowd. The man then stood there not knowing what else to do and feeling some what guilty for possibly killing an innocent being. It was ten minutes before any help arrived, the news reporters arriving shortly after.

While the paramedics got the victum out of his car the police went to go ask civilians what they saw. After what seemed like eturnaty the police went to take the conscious driver in for questioning. As they drove away they were all thinking the same thing. "What a wonderful way to start the day."

A/N: i know it's short but it's pretty much an prologue. i hope you all enjoyed it and i'd love to thank my bf and editor emma cause without her there would be a lot of typo's :P
