Rachel Hudson held the steering wheel a little tighter. She was a very safe driver. She traveled slowly down the highway. The people were barely moving. Great, rush hour she thought as the car in front of her inched forward. Suddenly, she heard a screech and then her passenger side was crushed in. Her back windshield smashed and the glass sprayed on top of her. "OH MY GOD!" she screamed as her car skidded and smashed into the car next to her.
"Shit" she pulled the door open and climbed out of her car quickly "shit!" The whole passenger side of her car was destroyed, the door was crushed and twisted and there was glass all over her back seat. "No" she moaned "please let this be a dream." A few people ran over to her. "Are you alright?" a tall black man asked her. "I'm fine" Rachel said and put a hand to her forehead "just in shock I guess."
Then, a small blonde woman and a pretty red haired girl ran over to her. "Mrs. Hudson are you alright?" the girl said and hugged Rachel. It was Julianne Schwartz one of Rachel's students. "Oh yes I'm okay." "Is- this- your- car?" Julianne's mother said through her tears. "Yes, it is. It's been better." Rachel forced a laugh but felt like crying. Then she thought about Finn. "Where's my phone?" she asked and ran to her car. She opened up the driver's door and sifted through the glass and metal. "Don't cut yourself" Mrs. Schwartz said in a panicked tone.
Rachel stayed there for what seemed like hours and Mrs. Schwartz let her borrow her cell phone. "Give it to Julianne tomorrow, actually, give it to her when you don't need it anymore." "No, no I couldn't accept that." Rachel said but Mrs. Schwartz had already left and ran into her car. Julianne hugged Rachel once more and said "I hope everything turns out alright and I'll see you soon."
Finally, Rachel was allowed to leave the accident site after giving the firefighters her information. She got on a bus and started home. She opened Mrs. Schwartz's phone and dialed Finn's number. "Finn baby, it's me" she said softly. "Rach? Are you alright? Where are you? Are you alright? Do you need a lift? Are you alright?" Finn asked frantically. "I'm fine Finn I'm coming home, I'll explain when I get home." She rode the bus the rest of the way and knocked on her apartment door.
"Rach! I was so scared, I had no idea what happened." Rachel took one look at him and collapsed on the floor in tears. "WHAT HAPPENED!" Finn screamed and bent down to her "are you aright? Who did this to you?" "Finn, there was a car accident. The car was totaled." Finn picked her up and let her down on their couch. "Are you gonna be okay?" Rachel looked up at him "Finn, I was so scared and the car-" she broke off. "The car, the whole passenger side is destroyed."
Finn looked at her and it hit him. She could have died. DIED! He leaned over and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he lifted her up. Then she buried her face in his shirt. "I love you, I love you" she mumbled over and over and he held her. "I love you too" he replied and kissed her again. Then he brought her too the bathroom. "Take a warm shower and we can go to bed" he said wiggling his eyebrow suggestively. Rachel giggled and kissed him once more before running into the bathroom and shutting the door hard. She is the best thing that every happened to me. Thank God she's alright.And he put his head in his hands. What if things had gone the other way? "Don't even think about it!" Rachel told him from behind the door. How he loved his crazy woman.
