Chapter one.
Selena's POV.
Why?! Why would he do this?! How doesn't he know?! Maybe because I didn't tell him...
Flashback to yesterday...
"Happy birthday Selena!" Chase happily exclaimed as he embraced me in a kiss, witch I graciously returned.
We were staying in Mission Creek with Mr. Davenport for awhile because it was "Spring break" for the academy. As in Mr. Davenport wants to make more money. Everyone else went with Douglas to the Bahamas except for me, Chase and Adam.
"Wow, you're excited." I giggled.
Suddenly Chase put a blindfold over my eyes and I tensed up.
"I'm taking you to your birthday present. Don't freak out." Chase said as he gently grabbed my hand to guide me.
I relaxed and let him guide me to...wherever we were going. After walking for awhile, I felt him take off the bandana and I saw a shiny blue convertible.
"Surprise! I got you a car!" Chase exclaimed happily.
I was terrified of cars, I have never had good experiences with them, and I had never told Chase. I should've come clean, but instead I ran off in tears with Chase yelling after me.
"Selena wait!"
End of flashback...
I'm still upset about yesterday, and Chase has no idea why I ran off. I needed to tell him. I heard a knock on my door of the bedroom Tasha was letting me stay in and I saw Chase on the outside holding flowers.
"Here. My apology present." He said as he handed me the bouquet.
"Chase...you didn't do anything wrong. This is all me." I explained.
"How? I bought the car, you ran from me." Chase pointed out.
"No...I have a fear of cars...I have since right after I got my licence." I said.
"Why?" Chase asked.
"Because of what happened." I said as we sat down on the couch.
"What happened?" Chase asked.
"It was the month after I got my licence, right before Krane found me, and my brother Gabe insisted on driving me home from band practice..." I started.
Flashback...
"Come on Selena!" Gabe yelled as I grabbed my guitar case.
"You didn't have to drive me home. I have a license." I said.
"I know, but I'm going to college next month, I wanna drive my baby sis home one more time." Gabe explained as he opened my door.
"I'm only two years younger then you." I pointed out as I got in the passenger seat.
"Whatever. You'll always be my baby sis." Gabe said as he got in the driver's seat.
After awhile, we got on the road to our apartment. I turned on the radio and started listening to music. Then I looked over and saw a semi swerving back and forth. I switched off the music.
"Watch our for the semi Gabe. I think it's a drunk driver." I said as I pointed it out.
"Thanks Selena." Gabe smiled.
I smiled back, then felt a smack to our car and I screamed as we got knocked off the road. Our airbags went off and that was the last thing I remembered...
End of flashback...
"When I woke up again, I found out that...that Gabe was in a coma... that he would never wake up from...my parents refused to pull the plug that was keeping him alive...until right before I was taken by Krane...then we all decided that the fact that Gabe was in a coma was getting to us...and we needed to move on...instead of hang on...and my parents took me and Jason...when the doctors pulled the plug...he flatlined almost immediately after...it was the hardest moment of my life..." I admitted as I started crying into my boyfriend's shoulder.
"You don't know that will happen again." Chase soothed as he rubbed my back.
"But if it does...then I will lose you. And I cannot lose you." I said as I finally stopped sobbing.
"You never know if you don't try." Chase said.
"You're right. I can't spend the rest of my life terrified of cars. I'm gonna drive again, and I want you to come with me." I said.
"Alright then. Let's go." Chase said as he took me to the car.
We got in, I went through the driver's checklist and I pulled out of the driveway. We were on the highway for awhile when it started getting dark.
"We should probably start heading back now." Chase suggested.
"That's a good idea." I said as I saw a place where I could turn and I did.
Chase turned on the radio and it started playing Night Changes by One Direction. He was goofing off and singing and I was laughing while keeping my eyes on the road. Then Chase turned off the radio.
"Bored huh?" I asked.
"Yeah." Chase said.
Then something hit us and I felt the car flying through the air. We both screamed and Chase grabbed my hand. This was just like last time. The airbags came out and that was the last thing I remembered...
First off, I'm gonna say this story is dedicated to Awkwardgurl05 for being a awesome person. She writes amazing ANT farm stories and I'm proud to call her my friend.
I got most of the inspiration for this and decided to start writing this today because my mom and I saw a car that was flipped over with someone inside on the way to the orthodontist. Someone was helping them when we got there, but we still prayed for them almost immediately. I've been praying for them ever since.
Anyway, any suggestions for this story are welcome, also, please read my announcement on my profile regarding my story ideas.
Over and out.
