Understanding Hurt

Chapter 1: Flashback

Serena was sitting on her bed crying.

Raye looked at Serena closely. "I really don't think it's a good idea. I'm more stable than you."

"Don't be silly!" Serena said laughing hysterically.

"Yeah Raye!" Mina said slurring her words as she leaned up against Selena laughing with her. Raye crossed her arms looking at both of them in disbelief.

Serena cleared her throat and stood up straight acting serious. "Raye, I'm perfectly fine." Mina was holding her hand over her mouth, trying to keep from laughing.

Raye looked at Serena for another second. "I still don't know."

Serena grabbed the car keys from Raye's hand. "Come on, we need to get going."

"Serena, come on, stop it! Just let me drive!" Raye said following Serena as she walked to her car. Mina grabbed Raye's wrist, stopping her from following Serena. "Don't worry we shall be okay." She said slurring her words and laughing.

Serena cried even harder remembering what happened during the ride.

Serena was driving down Brisk road, going over the speed limit. Mina laughed as Serena sped up.

"Serena, please stop it!" Raye yelled from the backseat.

"Raye chill!" Mina said looking over her shoulder. "We're just having a little fun!"

Raye looked over at Serena driving as she shook her head. "You told me you were fine! That you were stable!"

"I am stable!" She said looking over her shoulder at Raye.

Raye looked out at the road and saw a car coming straight at them. "Serena!" She screamed. "Look out!" Serena turned around in her seat fast slamming on the breaks.

"No, no, no." She whispered as she hid her face in her hands.

Serena squeezed her eyes tighter as she groaned in pain. She blinked her eyes trying to figure out where she is. "Mina?" She said her voice cracking. As she turned her head toward the direction of her best friend. When she turned to look at Mina, she saw a pool of blood slowly seeping from her unconsious body. She sucked in a deep breath in shock. Then she feels the sharp that is now running through her body.

Serena threw her hand up to cover her mouth as she felt that familiar twist in her stomach. She leans over the side of her bed and puked in the trash can.

A paramedic knelt down on the ground looking through the smashed glass window on the drivers side. He saw girl laying in the drivers seat. "Miss? Can you hear me?"

Serena looked away from Mina and to the paramedic talking to her. The paramedic looked over at the girl laying in the passengers seat. Noticing the blood surrounding he immediately knew that she wasn't going to make it. He looked away from the girl in the passenger seat and to the girl in the drivers seat who is looking at him with watery eyes. He shakes his head 'no' already knowing the girls question. Serena closed her eyes then looked up at the ceiling of the car.

Raye groaned in pain as she gained consiousness. The paramedic crawled over to the back of the car. He cleans the rest of the broken glass out of the window so he can see. Raye groaned again as she felt more pain.

"Can you hear me?" He asked as he grabbed for her hand. She doesn't say anything as she kept her eyes shut. "I need you to squeeze my hand if you can hear me!" He said waiting for her to respond but she doesn't. "Come on! You need to stay with me!" He said as he saw her breathing grow slower but she still didn't respond.

"What's your name sweetheart? You need to stay awake! Stay with me!"

"It's Raye." Serena whispered.

"Raye! Stay with me!" He yelled louder, trying to keep her from going into unconsiouness. Raye squeezed his hand lightly.
