Here's chapter 10…only three more chapters after this one
GETTING OUT of the school building was easy. I skipped down the sidewalk, I was heading for the main highway exit that was where the accident was going to take place, maybe, I could stop my dad from leaving the bakery too early. Quickening my pace, I headed for Downtown Konoha. I slid to a stop across the street from Haruno's Bakery and my heartbeat slowed down as I spotted my dad's delivery van parked outside the bakery, the back opened.
Looking down the street both ways, I crossed the street and stepped into the bakery, the chimes signaling my entrance. I walked up to the counter and stared at the man behind the counter. "Welcome to Haruno's bakery how can we I help – Sakura? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school?" Vinnie asked and I tapped my foot impatiently. "Vinnie, can I please see my dad? It's an emergency!" I stated and he nodded slowly, his grey eyes locked with my jade ones. "He's outside. But you'd better hurry, he's getting ready to leave for his rounds." He said pointing out of the large show window. Shoot. Turning quickly on my heels, I bolted out of the bakery and spotted my dad by his van fully adorned in his work uniform.
"Dad!" I called and he looked up at me and I could have sworn his eyes bulged at the sight of me. "Sakura, what are you doing here?" He asked and I stepped back and smiled coyly. "Hi dad," new approach, I wasn't as confident as I was a few seconds ago. "Sakura, you should be in school. Don't tell me you've been sneaking out of school frequently. Your mother's going to kill me." He mumbled as I stepped closer towards him, "dad, look you've got to listen to me…you can't go onto the highway to deliver those things. There's going to be a terrible accident. Trust me." I said pleading with him but he simply sighed and closed his van's back doors. "I don't have time for this…Go back to school Sakura." He ordered before he flashed me a stern look and headed for the driver's seat.
"Dad…no…you have to believe me!" I pleaded desperately as I stared at him through the passenger side's window. "Sakura, go back to school and I won't tell your mom you ditched it today." He said flashing me a small smile before he stepped on the gas and drove off.
I stood there in a state of panic, chewing on my bottom lip. If I just stood here my dad's life would come to a tragic end again and my mom would isolate herself from all of society, in other words…time would be repeating itself and I would have done nothing to change it. Agreeing that I wouldn't allow my life to turn out wrong again, I started off down the sidewalk after my dad's van.
There was no way I could have possibly caught up to him, and if my watch was correct the accident was due to happen very soon. I caught sight of a rack of bicycles and ran over to them. I scanned the bikes and to my relief they weren't locked down. Directing my gaze towards the inside of the shop, I noticed that everyone inside of the shop's backs were turned to me. Luckily. Slowly creeping up to the bike rack, I grabbed a random bike and ran off. Getting on it, I peddled off towards the highway.
To say I saw the two cars that were heading straight for the collision was an understatement. I spotted my dad's van up ahead and the large oil truck switching lanes carelessly. It was coming and if I didn't intervene quickly it was all over. There was going to be a sudden traffic congestion which was going to catch everyone off guard. Jumping off of the bike, I stupidly ran into the street and out in front of my dad's van. I assumed that he quickly hit the brakes because the whole delivery van jerked to a stop. I stood in front of the van my hands straight out preventing my dad access. I stared through the mirror and at his face, which was mixed with both surprise and panic all over it. Sure, I had run carelessly into the busy streets and had narrowly avoided becoming road kill.
My dad screwed down his window and poked his head out of the window. "Sakura! What the hell!" He shouted of course, he didn't stay upset for long because although I had prevented my dad's van from becoming road trash the oil truck still hadn't been aware of my sudden jump into the middle of the road and blocking the traffic, the oil truck rammed head first into the highway's wall and yeah, you guessed it, it blew up. My eyes widened as I covered my face with my hands.
I felt two strong arms wrap around me, and a chin rested on top of my head. "Are you okay?" I shook my head slowly as I was released. I stared at my dad. "Get in the car," my dad instructed and I quickly shuffled towards the bakery van, pulled the door open and heaved myself into the van. I stared mindlessly out of the window and out at the mass of fire and panicked people forming a semi circle away from the blown up oil truck. That could have been my dad, but it wasn't, thankfully. But still blood was shed. My hands shook dangerously as I stared at the dark red puddles of blood staining the road, my stomach lurched forward and I averted my gaze from the horrific accident.
My dad got into the van a short while later and the car remained quiet for awhile, before he seemed to regain himself and turned the car on and began to drive around the crowd of worried people. I was lucky, my dad didn't tell my mom about me ditching school or how I was on the highway at the time of the explosive accident. I was forever thankful and that meant that I could return to my own time and I was anxious. That night after dinner I headed straight for bed, not even changing out of my outfit. I pulled the covers over my body and rested my head down on my pillow and closed my eyes.
Well, there's another chapter all finished and stuff…so yea…I hope you enjoyed it.
