Sadie pounded hard against Jamie's front door, but there was no answer. She knew it'd be too easy if he was just waiting at home. Her heart was thumping hard in her chest, and her mind was running a million miles per minute. She thought about how much she cared for him, how much she wanted him, and all those words that were left unsaid. All she wanted was to tell him those things and have her Jamie back. Sadie desperately needed to find him.

"Where are you, Jamie?" Sadie quietly muttered to herself as she backed away from his door. She took slow steps back to her home, but picked up the pace to her driveway and scurried to her car. Sadie had a good idea of where to find Jamie and hopped into the driver's seat. Before she could completely buckle her seatbelt, she was on the gas and halfway down the street.

Taking a sharp turn, Sadie nearly flung herself into the car door. She scared herself at first, but she wouldn't slow down. She couldn't slow down. All her mind was set to do was to find Jamie. Her thoughts were only Jamie Andrews.

She pressed her food down a little heavier. Zooming past numerous cars, Sadie wished she could be at her destination instantly. She had a guy feeling he'd be there, but if not, she wanted to rapidly appear at the next spot he might be. She needed to be fast, and on her way if she was going to win him back.

The destination she had in mind was very familiar to her. It was familiar to them. It was the place they had their first date, even if neither of them considered it a date at the time. It was the place that they continuously met by "accident". It was the place where they realized that they didn't hate each other, or like each other, but felt more than either one could ever imagine. It was a small family owned café and bakery where they could be themselves. It was where they could be together without anyone else judging them. No one else they knew went to that place, and it was theirs to share alone.

On sixty miles per hour, Sadie pulled out into the intersection for yet another sharp turn. Little did Sadie know, her light was red and a semi truck was heading her way. Just before completing her left-hand turn, the semi smashed into the rear of Sadie's Beetle. The force, and her speed, was enough to send Sadie's car flying until it flipped over onto its side.

Sadie's head banged hard against the driver's side window before it hit the pavement and shattered, leaving her unconscious. She laid face down in the tiny pieces of broken glass, her seat belt still on, and a giant, bloody cut across her forehead. Her blonde hair was thrown about in a mess, random strands tainted with her fresh blood.

The airbags had failed to inflate, not that they would've helped much. Her car immediately shut down, virtually totaled from the crash. The one thing that seemed to be in perfect condition still was her radio. The horrific blast of the accident, the silence that lies inside Sadie, and the soft purring of a song's melody filled the intersection within seconds of each other.

People started to congregate around the scene. Some had parked their cars and gotten out as witnesses, others gathered from the sidewalks. They all slowly approached, cautiously, but didn't dare get too close to the damage. Some could hardly even make out anyone in the car. All that could really be seen was her messy blonde locks.

But one person leaped from his car and knew exactly who was inside. He raced to her side, pushing his way through the crowd. "Sadie!" he exclaimed in terror and worry. "Sadie!"

Approaching the front of the car, Jamie looked into the windshield and saw her helpless body. The sheer thought of her lifeless body lying in rubble filled Jamie with heartache. He bit his lip and grew angry at the people standing aside and watching. "Someone call an ambulance!" he demanded in a shout.

He continued towards her, not giving a damn if being near the car was dangerous. If there was a chance if was going to explode, he was going to get Sadie out of there first. He yanked hard at the passenger's door facing upwards, but the impact had smashed it in well. The door wouldn't budge for the life of him, and Jamie's chest grew tighter then he ever thought possible. He backed away from the car a few feet, trying to find another way to get her out.

Jamie heard the soft hum of a familiar song.

Words like love and happiness
Never seem to stand up baby
When you put them to the test, yeah

He glanced all around, trying to find the source of the noise, and noticed the moon roof to Sadie's bug cracked open slightly. He reached down and slipped his fingers into the crack. He tugged at the roof, hoping he could get it open enough to reach Sadie. He jerked it back and forth with all his strength, praying that he would make it. Seconds without it budging, Jamie began kicking and pulling in a frantic matter, tears finally streaming from his eyes. "Damn it!" he shouted as the panel finally ruptured from its frame.

You say that you're a poet
That your life's a work of art
But you can't play love by numbers baby
You gotta play it all by heart

Tossing it aside, Jamie leaned down and crawled into the car. "Sadie," he whispered softly to her, brushing her hair off of her face. He saw her eyes crack open and focus on his, but she said nothing.

Baby, baby, baby, baby
It happens all the time
How you play me, play me, play me
Playing with my mind
Baby, baby, baby, baby
You're making me go crazy
And if you call that love
Then love should be a crime

Unbuckling her seatbelt, Jamie started to crawl back out of the car. "It'll be alright," Jamie cooed, trying not to break down. "I've got you."

Honesty
Bites the dust
Every time I hear you saying
That love is never lust yeah

He used all his strength to lift her up as he pulled her out of the roof. Jamie didn't want to make the damage worse, especially with the splinters of glass everywhere. Really, he was just glad to have her out of there.

Did you read it in a book?
Did you see it in a magazine ?
Do you think that I'm some new age fool?
Do you think I'm so naive?

Picking Sadie up into his arms, Jamie carried her off, a few feet away from the accident. He set her back down on the ground gently, but held her head up for support. "Sadie," he called out again, hoping this time she'd reply.

Sadie's blue eyes continued to blankly stare up into Jamie's eyes. Her heart was beating hard, yet slow, in her chest. She wanted to be able to wrap her arms around him and scream "I love you," but she couldn't.

Love should be a crime
You and me
Suddenly
We got nothing to say
But the words get in the way

She was staring to get tired. And she was staring to get cold. And with each second that passed, her eyelids grew heavier.

Baby, baby, baby, baby
It happens all the time
How you play me, play me, play me
Playing with my mind

"Sadie!" Jamie exclaimed with a crack of his voice.

Baby, baby, baby, baby
You're making me go crazy
And if you call that love
Then all it was
Was a pocketful of nothing
But a suicidal gun

He held her close to him and rocked her body to the music.

If you call that love

His heart broke as the words to the song were drowned out as he heard the ambulance's dull roar grow louder. They were almost there, but maybe too late.

Then love should be a crime
