Clara was in the library with Ben. They were studying. She looked at the clock on her phone.
"I have to go." She whispered.
"I'll walk you out." He whispered back.
They went outside.
"I'll be over as soon as I close the diner tonight."
"I still hate that you have to close the diner by yourself."
"I'm always fine."
"I know." "I just get worried."
"I know." She kissed him. "See you tonight."
"I'll be waiting." "I love you."
"I love you too."
Later that night Clara closed the diner and was walking to the frat house. She heard police sirens that sounded like they were really close. Clara was crossing the street. Suddenly a car going about eighty turned on the road Clara was crossing. It was being followed by two cop cars. Before Clara could react the car ran her over. The two cop cars swerved to miss her.
Suddenly Clara felt incredibly light like she was floating. She was suddenly surrounded by white. Hannah came out of nowhere.
"Hannah?" She said in disbelief. "You're dead." "Wait?" "If I'm seeing you, that means I'm-
"Yeah."
"No." "I'm not ready yet."
"You're in luck." "It's not your time." "Clay can't lose you to."
Before she could respond she disappeared into darkness.
Paramedics had paddles on Clara. One of them checked for a pulse.
"I've got signs." He said.
Ben was waiting for Clara. He was getting worried. One of his frat brothers came running into his room.
"Ben Clara got hit by a car."
"What?!" He said shocked. "Is she ok?"
"I don't know."
Clara's parents were at the airport. They were taking the red eye flight to Michigan. All they knew is that Clara got hit by a car. They were waiting for there flight to board. Nick took out his cell phone.
"Who are you calling?" Christy asked.
"Clay."
Clay was sleeping when his cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" He said tiredly.
"Clay it's Nick." He said. "Clara's been in an accident." "She was hit by a car."
"Oh my god." He said sitting up. "Is she ok?"
"We don't know yet." "We're on our way to Michigan right now."
"Call me when you know something."
"I will i promise."
Christy and Nick got to Michigan five hours later. When they got to the hospital they were directed to the Intensive Care Unit. Ben was there.
"Ben." Nick said. "How is she?"
"I don't know." Ben said frustrated. "They won't tell me anything."
The doctor came out.
"Mr. and Mrs. Randall?" The doctor asked.
"Yes." They said.
"All of Clara's ribs are broken." "She has a broken right wrist and and shattered right shoulder." "She has multiple abrasions and contusions." "She's also in a coma."
"A coma." Christy said with tears in her eyes. "Will she wake up?"
"That's up to her." "When and if she starts to wake up she won't just wake right up." "She may wake up for a few seconds." "She may even talk but fall right back into the coma." "It will take awhile for all parts of her brain to function."
"Can we see her?" Nick asked.
"Third door on the left." The doctor walked away.
"I'll let you guys see her first." Ben said
Christy and Nick went into Clara's room. Clara's face was covered with cuts and bruises. Her right arm was in a sling and her right wrist had a brace on it.
"It's ok Clara." Christy said with tears running down her cheeks. "Mommy and daddy are with you." "You're gonna be ok."
