Chapter 1: The Accident

"I can't believe I wasted my time on that loser!  What a jerk!  How could he do this to me?"  I was driving along Rt. 9 yelling at the top of my lungs.  Stephen and I had been together for two years and we just broke up.  It wasn't one of those nice, mutual decision things - he met someone else.   I was balling and had hardly any voice left due to all the screaming.  LeAnn Womack's song Why the call it falling came on the radio and I lost it.

At first, I didn't notice that the traffic light was red or that the car in front of me was stopping.  At the last minute, I saw the car's brake lights and slammed on my brakes.  It was too late; we collided.  I was thrown forward in my seat, but the seatbelt violently yanked me backwards.  I sat in my car, a bit disoriented.  I put the car in park and noticed through my tears that the driver of the car I hit was walking towards me.  He was gorgeous – long dark hair, pulled back into a ponytail. He was average height, 6'2, 6'3.  Great body, you could tell this guy worked out.  There was something about him, reassuring.  His face – it was sweet, kind, gentle.  He doesn't look upset. Good sign. I couldn't handle a guy with road rage right now. 

My chest was beginning to hurt due to the force of catching the seatbelt.  I released the seatbelt, quickly tried to wipe my tears away, and got out of my car.  The guy was now standing right in front of me.  "Hi there, are you okay?"  He questioned.

I couldn't see his eyes behind his sunglasses, but he seemed honestly concerned.  What I wouldn't give for some sunglasses, I must look awful.   "I'm fine, I think."  And the tears started again.  I started crying full force now.  I was trying to relay my story about Stephen and me breaking up, but it wasn't really working through the crying.  My voice kept catching in my throat.

He immediately stepped towards me and wrapped his arms around me.  I didn't shy away as he held me to him.  I needed this.  I needed to be held and he was so strong.  "It's okay, it's okay.  You're going to be alright."  He began running his hand across my hair.

After a few minutes in his arms, I was able to calm down. I pulled away from him and looked at the ground.  "Thank you.  You must think I'm crazy."

"Crazy, no.  Hurt, yes.  So why are you so upset?  I caught that it had something to do with a guy – Stephen?" 

At the sound of Stephen's name, I jerked my head up.  He removed his sunglasses and tried to meet my eyes.  I was so confused.  I love Stephen.  I thought we would always be together.  No, he is a jerk!  I deserve better than that.  How could he do this to me?

Stephen's words ran through my mind.  "Sam, this isn't working.  You and I just aren't right for each other.  The last two years have been great, but it's over.  She gives me everything you couldn't.  Sam, I'm sorry, I do love you."

Love me?  You must be kidding.  If you loved me, we would still be together - you wouldn't be with her.  And what didn't I give you that she could?

The guy was still standing before me, waiting for me to respond.  "My boyfriend just broke up with me.  Apparently, I wasn't everything he needed.  He left me for someone else."

He winced as I told him.  "Well, at least he didn't leave you for another guy."  He stopped for a second, then continued.  "He didn't, did he?"  He must have realized that Stephen leaving for another guy could actually happen.

"No, it was another woman."

"Well, see.  It could be worse."  He cautiously smiled. "Look, I don't know you, but from what I have seen, it's his loss."

I thought about what he had said.  No he didn't. How sweet is this guy.  "I guess."  I smiled slightly.

"I'm Matt."

"I'm Samantha."  All of a sudden I looked over and saw the damage to his car.  "Oh my goodness.  I am so sorry."

"It's okay, don't worry about it.  We'll just call our insurance companies and they'll take care of it."

This guy is too much. He's too sweet.

We exchanged our insurance and contact information.

"Don't stress over your ex.  It's for the best, you don't want to be with a guy like that."  Matt said as he walked to his car.

"I'll try." I said as I got into my car.
