So, I'm going to be the bad guy here. I'm not updating after this unless I get at least 3 reviews.I don't think it is such a big thing to ask, is it? Some of my other stories I would get 20 reviews a chapter! Anyways, I am glad the few of you who are reading this are enjoying it! I am having so much fun writing this, and seeing where my imagination takes Macy and Wes. I also realized that I forgot to mention that I do not own any of these characters, that's all Sarah Dessen. Also, this story is going to be much much more than a two or three shot as I said it would in the first chapter, just thought I would clear that up. Now for what you've all been waiting for…. The next chapter

Macy POV

I looked at my watch, the time ticking away impatiently. "Come on, Lucy! If you don't hurry up, you won't make it to your friend's party on time."

Delia's husband was bringing her on a surprise vacation, so I offered to help out, which meant babysitting their kids for a week. And today, I was bringing Lucy to her friend's birthday party. I was holding 3 year-old Avery in my arms, car keys dangling from my fingers. Lucy finally made her appearance, and brushed past me, going out the open front door. I sighed. Pre-teens, joy. But come to think of it, she was only 7, which only made it worse.

After making sure everyone was buckled, I pulled out of the driveway.

The car ride was only made that much less enjoyable when Lucy did something to make Avery cry, I'm still not sure what, exactly. Then they started screaming. We were stopped at a red light, and I was looking at them through the rear view mirror with what I hoped was a serious face. "Honestly, you two have got to knock it off. You won't be going to this birthday party if this continues, Lucy."

I almost had to laugh at myself, being this big mean adult. Enforcing rules and handing out punishments. The light turned green, and I sped up, until I heard Lucy cry out my name.

I looked to my left just in time to see headlights, and my window shattering in front of my eyes. My car skidded sideways from the impact, then hit a light pole, and wrapped around it slightly. I heard the screams of the girls in the backseat, and I struggled to stay awake for them, to make sure they were okay, but my heavy lids betrayed me, and forced me into a deep black abyss, where I was drowning, my life being taken from me with every missed beat of my heart.

Before the blackness completely took me, I heard Avery scream my name again. This time, instead of sheer panic, it was so tragic. The way she said my name was so sad and devastated, I took every ounce of strength I had to reach my hand out to her. And I was gone, lost in the darkness.

My last conscious thought was of the girls, if they were safe, and Wes. How much I loved Wes; how much I didn't want to leave this world without him.

I know this is short, but I also hope it is enough to keep you reading and reviewing!
