It was fall. Leaves were crisping and whisking away in the on- going wind. Creatures were harvesting for the winter. Winds danced around the small town as if in a never ending ballet. Change was hinted in the air, and somewhere in an old vintage Ford Mustang seated a pair of two teenage lovers testing each other's limits. A scream pierced through the air.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WERE NO WHERE?!" Miley's voice shattered through the town's silence. Her hands were shaking through firm fists as she faced her boyfriend, her best friend, her soul mate. She waited for his answer.
"You heard what I said. I said I was nowhere! No where! I don't think it's too hard to figure out!" Nick sped the car up faster than he should have. Nick couldn't face her. He knew if he looked her in those beautiful gray eyes that he'd give in, and he wasn't going to. Before he could say anything else, Miley slapped him. Hard.
Nick's head snapped back into his chair full force. "GOD DAMMIT, MILES. DON'T YOU DARE HIT ME AGAIN!" Nick felt a huge blast of fury passing through his veins. He had never felt such anger before, especially not with Miley. Usually, she calmed him. They balanced each other. Miley's 'live for the moment' and carefree lifestyle blended almost perfectly with Nick's quiet and sheltered one. Seeing that smile made every day valuable, but today he did not have the patience for her daily outbursts. "JUST GET OUT OF THIS FREAKIN' CAR!" Nick's words sped out his mouth uncontrollably as if he had just let out a giant gasp of breath.
Heavy silence weighed upon them. Miley decided to break the silence first.
"Fine. Let me out." Miley's voice was quivering.
"Aw. C'mon Miles. I didn't mean it like that." Nick took one hand off the steering wheel and ran a gentle finger over a falling tear. Miley, out of pride, couldn't let him off the hook so easily. She slapped his hand away.
"Damn. Why do you have to be such a bitch sometimes?!," Nick screamed at her frustrated. He couldn't even recognize the young woman softly sobbing next to him. She looked like the girl he had asked out so many years ago, but something was different today. What could she have seen? What could make her so angry?
Once again, he sped up the car as they descended upon a hill. Night was falling and Miley had enough of his crap.
"At least I'm not a lying bastard," she shot back. Her body was shaking with uncontrollable anger. Her blood was boiling under her pale skin. Memories were spinning against her head that caused her more pain that she needed at the moment.
"What?! I have no idea what we're even fighting about anymore!" Nick's hazel eyes found her own gray ones. As Miley turned around to meet his intense gaze, she saw he really didn't understand. Instead of keeping up this fight, she poured her whole heart out.
"Don't you dare lie to me, Nick. I saw you! I saw you. I…." Her words were broken down by her sudden tears as her sobs enveloped her into a deeper feeling of defeat.
"I hate you!" she screamed in utter lost. As Nick turned to look at her with pleading eyes, he missed the bright headlights of an upcoming truck barreling straight at them. Miley screamed. Nick stared silently. In a single fatal second, both souls were swallowed into the never ending darkness, awaiting their faith in the hands of God himself.
