Finding You...: Chapter 2: Crashing into You
Timberly's POV
I didn't know what I was doing when I grabbed my keys, but I did and I walked out the door.
Sitting in my car I was thinking what could happen if I did go out...all the possibilities. I didn't want to think about what my mom was doing...driving around, getting wasted...those were thoughts that scared me and I didn't want to think them.
I started my car...surprised at what I was doing and backed out of the driveway. I just started driving not knowing where I was going...not paying attention to much around me.
I started to realize how much I missed those family drives we took at night after dinner, how much I missed having a dad around and a mom too. I realized how much of my life has been taken away after dad died, how much I have missed out on. I've been too wrapped up about my mom that I hadn't realized how much I missed the way things use to be, how things were.
I kept thinking about all these things when all of a sudden I felt a jolt and the car shook. I heard the sound of scrapping metal and glass shattering. When I looked up I realized I hit someone, in shock I didn't know what to do. I sat there shaking and not noticing the amount of damage I had just done.
I was about to undo my seatbelt, when the person I just crashed into knocked on my window. I undid my seatbelt and got out of the car to get a better look at who I hit and I how much damage I did.
"Hey...you have no idea how sorry I am...I promise I'll work my ass off to pay off for all the damage!" I said rapidly in my nervously shaken voice.
"Hey it's okay...calm down, I was just wondering if you were okay?" he looked at me to make sure.
"Yeah...yeah I'm fine...just a little shakened, but I guess who wouldn't be?" I said trying to calm myself down but it was useless.
"Yeah." he said as a smile spread across his face. "Ephram Brown."
"Timberly Brown." I said with a giggle, "We have the same last name..."
"Yeah we do...so you're sure that you're okay?" he said with a faint laugh.
"I'm positive..." I said before everything went dark.
Ephram's POV
I caught her right before she hit the ground.
I laid her on the sidewalk for a second to check if anything was wrong. Nothing. I looked at her face, pulling her hair out of the way, she looked really familiar...almost like someone I knew...I just couldn't think who.
I picked her up, knowing I wasn't far from home and was going to take her there.
