"There she was just a-walkin' down the street, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"

"Oh no, Mom stop!" 14-year-old Maya Hart cried as she slammed her hands over her ears. While her mother, Katy was singing along with the taxi radio.

"Snappin' her fingers and shugglin' her feet, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"

"Mom, I swear" Maya sighed, but smiled none the less. She was happy. It's not every day that she got the opportunity to spend some one on one time with her Mom, who was always working, not because she wanted to, but because she HAD to. She was a single Mom of two girls, in fact they were on their way to pick up 4-year old Maddison now. "Mom" She whispered glancing ahead into the rear view mirror where she could see the taxi driver smirking at the two of them. "You're embarrassing me"

"She looked good" Her mother sanged. "Come on Maya. You love this song"

"Used to"

"Still do, please for me, one time for old times sake" Her mother placed her hands together interlocking them, while making a pouty face. "I just want to hear that beautiful voice of yours again"

Maya rolled her eyes. "Fine" She jumped in during the next verse. "Before I knew it she was walkin' next to me, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
The mother daughter duo sung happily, while the taxi driver listened. He even nodded his head to the beat. Getting lost in the lyrics he didn't even notice the traffic light turning red. Nor did he notice the big truck headed towards them...

Not until it was too late.

All he noticed was the sound of metal crashing together.

The sound of screams.

The scenery outside spinning out of control.

After what seemed like hours, he noticed he was now hanging upside down.

Silence.

Everything was suddenly still.

He tried to look through the rear view mirror but it was shattered.

Glass was everywhere.

He tried to turn his head only to realize that he couldn't move.

He couldn't feel a thing.

"Mom?" He heard a frightened voice call from behind.

"Mom!" It was louder this time. Stronger, and filled with pain.

He heard a sob. "Mom, please wake up, you have to wake up...please be okay" He could tell that the child was crying. "You can't leave me, you can't leave me and Maddie. We need you!"

His heart broke. He opened his mouth to make a sound, but all that exited, was a cough of blood. That can't be good.

He prayed the little girl and her mother was okay in the back seat, but he'd never know.

Soon everything faded to black.
