Marti was pacing back and forth in the bar where her mother worked. Wanda had gone to get Marti's cousin Roxanne. Lewis walked up to Marti
"I don't see what the big deal is"
"Lewis My cousin will make fun of me when she finds out I'm a cheerleader"
"Maybe she wont" he tried to reassure her
"Yeah she will" spoke up Dan "good old Roxy will"
"How old is you cousin?" asked Savannah
"Eighteen" replied Marti
Just then the door opened and in walked Roxanne and Wanda
"My cousin is a Hellcat? Very cool" said Roxanne as she went and hugged Marti
"See you had nothing to worry about" said Lewis
"What? Did you think I would make fun of you?" asked Roxanne "Marti, Marti, Marti how little you know me"
"Hi I'm Savannah" savannah reached out her hand for Roxanne to shake
"Well Savannah, I'm a hugger" said Roxanne and she hugged Savannah
"I like her" said Savannah
"Dan Patch you a Hellcat as well?" Roxanne asked
"Oh Roxy, I'm to pretty to be on their team you know that"
"That I do" and she hugged him
Wanda went to the bar to fix everyone a drink. Everyone but Roxanne of course. Savannah told her that she could stay in cheer town. Marti shot her cousin a look so she wouldn't make a comment out where she lived. Roxanne agreed and they went to go settle her in. when they walked in Alice was there.
"Who's this?" she asked
"Marti's cousin Roxanne" Lewis responded
"Hi, I'm Alice"
"Hi" said Roxanne
"Roxanne is going to stay with us" Savannah informed her
"Oh is she?" Alice had that look on her face
"Whatever you're thinking Alice, stop" said Marti"
"I wasn't thinking anything"
"Does that happen often?" Roxanne whispered to Dan
"Hush" Dan whispered back
The next day Roxanne went and watched the Hellcats cheer while she was at it she was scoping out some hot cheerleader men to go out with.
"Alright take five" said Vanessa
"Roxanne" said Marti "look you don't have to stay here you can go see Wanda or I could call Dan and you guys could bond"
"Bonding with dashing Dan sounds good. I was just looking at some men in here though you've got some cute boys"
"No kidding" said Savannah "sorry I didn't mean to crash this conversation"
"Crash away" said Roxanne
"So who do you like?" asked Savannah
"Well…" thought Roxanne then she pointed to a boy who looked like a younger Kevin Bacon "I want that one" the boy turned around and Marti waved him over
"Hello" he sad slightly concerned
"My cousin Roxanne was scoping out boys and she likes you"
"You wanna go out after practice?" he asked
"Okay" said Roxanne
"Cool" he said and he went back to the group
"Call Dan and then I'll show up with the boy after practice" said Marti
"I mean I guess I'll settle for him since I can't be with my Dashing Dan"
"w-why?" asked Savannah
"Well one I'm now legal so back then would have been wrong and two he's dating you"
"So you were joking?" asked Savannah
"Don't mind her" said Marti "Savannah doesn't really get jokes
"Five is over" said Vanessa the girls hurried back and Roxanne called Dan. He came and got her and they hung out for a bit. Then like Marti said she met them with the boy and Roxanne went off with him.
"So have fun?" asked Marti
"Yeah, Roxy is great"
"You're not hitting on my cousin now Dan Patch?"
"No, no I have Savannah"
"Good cause she doesn't need a guy like you"
"What is that supposed to mean?"
Dan and Marti went back to cheertown . Savannah told them about this party and when Roxanne and the boy got back they decided to go. Roxanne got in fine and they were dancing and having a good time. Roxanne came up to Lewis and Marti.
"Hey, he is great" said Roxanne
"He didn't try to go anything with you did he?" asked Marti
Just then the boy came behind Roxanne and grabbed her waist and kissed her neck
"Not yet" she said and they walked away. Marti started going after them but Lewis stopped her
"Marti, I'm sure she was kidding"
"She better be"
Later that night tings were dying down.
"Can you boys go in one car I need to talk to Roxanne alone"
"Sure" said Dan
"No problem" said Lewis "Savannah are you going to come with us?" asked Lewis
"Yeah"
Once Marti forced Roxanne to drive with her everyone left. The boys and Savannah were following them
"Look, were you joking back at the party? Like you and him didn't do anything right?"
"Marti, you know me nothing happened"
"Promise"
"Cross my heart and hope to pee my pants"
"What?"
"Dying sounds a little harsh" just then a horn was honking and someone ran a red light and smashed into their car on Roxanne's side. Everything and everyone seemed to stop. Lewis and Dan rushed out of the car and Savannah dialed 911.
"Marti?" Lewis said when he got to her door. He pulled open easily and saw a huge gash on her head. "Marti can you hear me?"
"Yes" she said weak
"Can you move everything? Do you feel anything broken?" she shook her head and unbuckled her seatbelt "alright Savannah is calling 911 I'm going to help you out of the car alright?"
"Roxy? Roxy is she okay?" Marti started panicking "is she okay? I didn't see the car. Oh God Wanda's going to kill me"
"Marti, I need you to stop panicking Dan is getting her but I need you to calm down and get out of the car" Lewis put his arm around her and she stepped out of the car. Meanwhile Dan went to Roxanne's side. The car looked smashed he pulled the door right off and sort of climbed inside. Roxanne's forehead was bruised from when she smashed against the window and her face was cut.
"Roxanne can you hear me?" Dan asked he checked her pulse and found that is was weak. He reached over and unbuckled her. "Rox?" he asked but there was no response
"Ambulance is on it's way" Savannah shouted
Dan put Roxanne's arm around his shoulder and lifted her out of the car. Her body was limp in his arms
"Oh God is she dead?" freaked Marti
" No," Dan said
"the bench" Marti said and they all headed over to the bench. Dan sat down holding Roxanne still in his arms. Marti sat beside them with the help of Lewis. He and Savannah were standing over them.
"I am really tired" Marti said
"I know but you need to stay awake" said Lewis
Then Marti started t cry and she started stroking Roxanne's hair
"Never meant for this to happen"
"Marti, you couldn't have known" Savannah said
"Rox is going to be fine" Dan said
Just then the heard sirens and the ambulance and police man appeared. Lewis helped Marti onto the gurney. Dan put Roxanne on another one
"Dan I need you to go with her okay" said Marti "Lewis can you get Wanda. Is it okay if Savannah comes with me?"
"Whatever you want" he kissed her
"Sure" said Dan
Marti was put into the ambulance and Savannah crawled in. Roxanne was put into the other one with Dan. Dan held her hand the whole time and he kept asking her to wake up.
