Stella's P. O.V.

Thinking of how my life changed completely in the last few hours, I was walking down the lane. There is nothing more in my life. Suddenly I heard the sound of the horn and a husky voice, "Down to Earth, Bitch."

I realized that I was walking through the middle of the road. I turned to apologize, but he was gone. He looked like a hormonal teenager who is in a hurry to reach somewhere. I sat down there breaking down, and the events flashed through my eyes.

Flashback:-

"At last our baby graduated 12th grade. What's your plan, Stella?". "Dad let me enjoy the vacation we can think about it, there's time right" she pouted. Radius sighed at her childishness. "She is right Radius, what about hiking?" Luna said. "Ooh... I love you, mom". Stella got excited. "Inform your brother too."

This consists of her family, her mom, dad, and brother. Radius is a well- known chef in Los Angeles, he has also been a YouTuber for a while. Her mom, Luna is an entrepreneur and her overprotective brother Sky, is an Architect.

On the day of hiking:-

"Stella what are you doing? Aren't you ready yet?" Sky called out.

She was standing still in front of her closet. He poked her and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Brother, I'm baffled to choose between these two dresses" she pouted. Sky rolled his eyes.

"You silly come on, it's getting late." After thinking for a couple of seconds, she wore her favorite denim jeans and blue crop top with a shrug. She pulled her hair into a ponytail. When she reached the car, all were waiting for her.

"I'm so excited; it's like after a year I'm going for a trip."

"Well, you are going nowhere near those dangerous mountains and will be staying with me," Sky said firmly.

"Oh! Come on Brother, I'm not a child anymore, I'm 18" she cried.

"But you are still my teeny weeny baby sis."

"Eww...don't call me that" she scrunched her nose in disgust. He burst into laughter.

At last, we reached Topanga National Park; we'll be hiking to Santa Yanez Falls. I heard it is a 2.5 miles walk and its just 250 feet of high elevation. We stopped our car at Vereda de la Montura gate and took our backpacks. This view is just awesome. It catches one attention. I felt myself sink into nature. It's all trees and chirping of birds around me.

We strolled and after a couple of miles, we ate our lunch. It was bacon, sandwich, and some energy drinks. It is refreshing to be a part of nature, leaving behind the urban world. We started hearing the trickling of water along with the relaxing fragrance of California bays.

We stayed along the sound of water and at last, we reached our destination. It's an 18-foot tall waterfall, we could continue it by climbing the rope nearby, but as it was almost 5 pm and we were exhausted, we thought of returning to our car.

I saw an Iguana on our way back, and as I have a secret wish to be a wildlife photographer, I went behind it. By the time I got the photo, I had realized that I'm lost and to my misfortune phone's battery was dead.

All I could hear was the chirping of birds that were going back to their nest and sound of water. It started getting darker, and I was getting scared. Somehow I reached back to the car. There my parents and Sky were waiting anxiously for me.

I got into the car and dad started driving. Everything was fine until something hit our car and I was thrown out of it. Everything went Black.

After a while I woke up, the place was crowded with police officers and people. I was inside of something like an ambulance; I got some scratches here and there. I enquired the officers about my family.

He said, "I'm sorry this happened, we are searching for them."

"Searching for them? What happened?" He told me that a heavy vehicle probably a bus, hit our car and somehow I was thrown out of it, and the car fell into the trench nearby.

I took a long breath and looked at it, it was very deep, I could even see the whole city from here. There is not even a single chance they would be saved. I was broken down, and I gave my details to police, they told me that I should return home as it is dark. They'll inform me, but I was reluctant when they insisted I started walking down.

...

"Excuse me," I heard a soft voice, and I looked up.
