Hit and Run

Ch. 1- Reality Check One

Jamie sighed.

He was going to be late for work. It had been the third time this week, and he knew Alex was not going to like it. Actually, today hadn't been he's fault, since he's motorcycle was in the shop and it had taken forever for he's dad to start he's brother Peter's old car. It was no wonder why he had left it here when he went to college.

Jamie looked at he's watch. It wouldn't hurt if he sped up a little. Wait. What was that in the road? No time to stop, he was going to fast. He hit the object at full force, head on. It was later he heard the screams.

The car stopped. He was alright. Jamie got out of his car. What had he hit?

It was a little girl.

He thought for moment. He had been speeding; he'd be blamed for the accident, sent to Juvenile Hall , put on probation, maybe even jail. He looked at the houses; neighbors were coming out from them. They'd call for help. He started the car again, leaving the girl behind him.
