Thanks for the reviews guys.

Sorry guys, I must be in some sort of bad mood.

This chapter didn't turn out like I hoped, my mind just completely blanked on me.

Written in the Stars

Chapter 2

Gil's head snaps back towards the road and fear washes over his face as he realises what's about to happen.

He throws his right arm across Sara's chest, to keep her pressed back into the seat, as he slams on the brakes and braces himself against the steering wheel.

"Sara..." he screams, just as the two cars collide in a head on collision.

For a spilt second there's complete silence, and then they hear it; metal crunching metal. There's a horrible grinding sound as they watch the front of the car fold in on itself. The screeching of pipes and parts breaking off is deafening, like being caught in an explosion. Both Gil and Sara are propelled forward, hitting the dashboard, and then thrown backwards back into their seats. They watch in horror as the front of both cars become tangled together, forcing both cars to spin out of control, and forcing the inside of the car to close in around Sara's legs.

Sara hears the terrified scream coming from the other car as the driver starts pulling in the steering wheel, unaware that he'll make the situation worse. The driver looks up and his eyes meet hers, only for a second, and she knows that the car and driver is who passed them earlier. In that moment they connect, Sara knows that the driver didn't mean for any of this to happen.

Suddenly, both vehicles separate, they both flip over and head down a steep ravine. Sara lost sight of drunks car, but theirs is heading straight towards a huge tree trunk. The car flies down the hillside, bumping and scraping over over rocks and tree roots, as Gil tries in vain to stop the car, or at least steer it out of the trees path. His right arm is still held firmly across Sara's chest and he can feel her shaking.

"Gil..." she cries, as she looks towards the tree.

Her body jerks from side to side as the crumpled Mercedes heads further down the ravine, deeper into nowhere. She sees the other car drop to the ground a few hundred yards away and she hears a heart wrenching scream before the car bursts into flames.

Sara cries out as their car comes into contact with the thick tree trunk. Her arms buckle against the dashboard but she can't hold the weight of the crash. She hears Gil scream out her name again and then she hears the deafening snap of her husbands arm as she's thrown forward and she slams into the windscreen.

Then there's silence...

When Gil comes around, it takes him a few moments to remember what's just happened. He tries to speak; to call out for Sara, but no sound comes out. He can smell smoke and blood; a lot of blood, and he can feel it trickling down his head and cheek. His right arm is throbbing, the pain is almost unbarable, but he tries not to think about, he needs to focus.

"Sa... Sara..." he chokes out.

No answer.

"Sara?" he asks more urgently.

No answer.

When he opens his eyes he feels as if he might pass out again. His vision blurs but he knows he needs to focus; he needs to help Sara. He breathes through his nausea and slowly turns to face his wife. Fear grips at his heart when he sees her pale, but bloody, face. There's a large gash down her left temple with a shard of glass in and she has cuts all over her face.

"Oh God, no..." he cries. "Sara, honey, open your eyes."

He groans in agony as turns to face her and he gently touches her cheek, desperate to rouse her awake.

"Oww..." she mumbles. "Gil..."

"I'm right here...sweetheart." he says, trying not to breakdown.

"What happened? Are...you hurt?"

"Don't worry about me, sweetheart, I'm okay." he lies.

Sara opens her eyes slowly and starts crying; sobbing her heart out.

"Gil, it hurts." she sobs. "Everything hurts, except my legs. Gil, I can't feel my legs."

He needs to soothe her; to calm her down. He can't freak out, not yet.

"Sshh...I need you to keep calm, okay? Try not to worry."

She's silent for about ten seconds, before reality kicks in, and then she panics.

"Oh God, Gil..." she cries. "The baby, what about the baby?"

*Runs to Mexico*

Hopefully chapter 3 will be up Tuesday or Wednesday, if not it'll be at the weekend. I've got to go to Manchester on Thursday for 2 days, for work, so I won't be able to update whilst there. I'm absolutely dreading the drive down, I hate driving to places I don't know. Anyway, enough rambling on, Wish me luck!

Thanks for reading guys.
