An unexpected turn

Baze and Cate decide to drive to Seattle to visit Lux, but are hit by a drunk driver. Lux has the hardest time dealing with the fact that she might lose her family. Sequel to bright lights

Everything was ready for the trip. Baze had left Math and Jaime in charge of the bar. Cate trusted on Ryan to keep all under control during the long weekend they´d be spending with Lux. They hadn't seen her since after Charlie's birthday over two months ago.

"Got juice?" she asked locking the house. He raised the pack on the air. Charlie waited eagerly on the car

"What do you want to listen to?" Baze asked going through his iPod. He put on TWO PRINCES BY SPIN DOCTORS. Cate rolled her eyes

"What?" he smiled. She kissed his lips. They began the trip; Charlie played quietly with a toy action figure, and once in a while asked for some juice or asked silly simple questions

Lux had classes until 12 that day, she´d be free later to enjoy having her parents over, she was going to give them a tour of the city and then cook for them

"Are you sure you don't want to stay?" she asked Tasha. She nodded

"I have some things to do, you have fun, tell them I said hi" she hugged her friend. Lux watched the clock impatiently; she wanted the day to be over. She had so many things to tell her parents. She wanted to play with her brother; as soon as the doorbell rang she stumbled out of the room and headed to her dorm. Henry Shane trailed behind her

"Where are you going Cassidy?" Henry was a tall guy, dark blonde blue eyes, kind of reminded her of Jones

"To get some sleep" she said and kept walking

"Heard your folks are coming to town" he said. She smiled. It was like he had a crush on her, she followed her everywhere she went.

They reached her dorm and Lux closed the door on his face, Henry smirked

A couple hours had passed. Her parents were supposed to call around 2, they still hadn't. She texted Baze, then Cate. Then called them. No answer.

Meanwhile…

"Dam traffic!" Baze said frustrated

"Watch the language!" Cate hissed, Baze turned to Charlie

"That something only daddy can say" he focused back on the road "I think we should call Lux"

"Good idea" Cate dialed her number "Lux?"

"Hey "her daughter answered on the line, she sighted "I was starting to get worried"

"She the road is just a mess, we´ll is there soon" Cate said. Baze waved his hand "Baze says hi"

"Put it on speaker!" Lux said. "Hey dad!"

"Hey kiddo!" Baze smiled "we´ll be there soon"

"Lux!" Charlie said excitedly. Cate placed the phone closer to him. "hi"

"Hey bud" Lux smiled "I'll see you soon"

"Kay" he whispered

"I´ll see you soon" Cate said. "Boys say bye"

She hung up.

Two more hours passed. Lux had gone for a walk. Henry and his best friend Amy were sitting on the grass. She sat next to them

"I thought your parents would be here by now" Henry said. Amy listened close

"So did I, I´m starting to get really worried, they always call" she said quietly

"You don't think something happened to them?" Amy asked. Lux hadn't stop to think about something happening to Cate and Baze

"I have to make a call" she stood up suddenly and hurried away. She dialed Baze´s number again. Then cate´s they went directly to voice mail

"Come on!" she said desperately "pick up!"

Baze opened his eyes. He felt a sharp pain on his back. He couldn't see anything. He didn't hear anything, his mind was blank

"Baze?" Cate´s voice was weak. She reached for his hand, they both tried to turn around to see if Charlie was all right. They could hear him cry, Baze sighed. He glanced to the other side, the car was upside down and he couldn't remember how they had ended up like that. He felt water on his back. His hand reached on his back. He saw blood. He turned to Cate, she had blood on her face but couldn't see beyond that. He blacked out as he heard the ambulance approaching, still clutching to Cate's hand
