Chapter 1: The accident

Jasmine Rochelle Richmond (or do you want to go by Forrest like in the musical? If so you can edit it)) was a normal girl. Her parents had normal jobs. Her dad worked a small office job and her mom worked for a newspaper doing reviews. The income was good and she had nothing to worry about.

Until the night of accident.

"Jazz, sweetie" her mother called.

Jazz turned to see her mother standing in the doorway. Lorinda was a lovely woman. She had lovely red hair that cascaded in curls past her shoulders. Her blue eyes always sparkled with delight and interest. Jazz felt she was the kind of woman you could look at in a magazine and not feel like you were stalking. What Jazz liked about her is she never hesitated to call her by her nickname.

Her father, Paul, had curly brown hair and green eyes always squinting. Like he was always thinking and according to Lorinda he was.

Jazz had auburn hair always pulled back in a braid, and sea green eyes that sparkled like her mothers.

"My boss is giving a banquet and I would like to know if you would like to come?"

Jazz nodded hyperly. "Would I ever!"

Lorinda laughed and helped her daughter pick out a dress to wear.

When Jazz looked back on the events she supposed the crash must've happened after the banquet.

Her parents piled in the front seats and she in the back. She was sleepy and couldn't wait to climb back into her own bed.

Jazz leaned her head against the window looking out the window. She squealed as her father suddenly jerked the steering wheel making them j*** to the side.

Jazz opened her mouth but squealed as a car slammed in the side. She screamed with her mother as the car flipped several times. The last thing she remembered seeing from what little space she could see through was several people exiting cars and a woman pulling out a cell phone.

She woke up for a moment to see herself staring at the night sky and a female nurse leaning over her.

"Sweetie, can you tell us your name?"

Jazz looked around for her parents but the nurse gently pushed her face back over "Sweetie, can you answer me?"

She moaned as she felt herself slipping again hearing "We've got three victims of a car accident, two DOA."

That was the last thing she heard
