Sacrificing Morgan
A fic by The Angel
Chapter Eight: Fallin, Crashing, Down
{Disclaimer: Alicia Keys owns "Fallin"}
Morgan drove in a car that her father rented for her earlier that morning. It was hers until she went back home to Connecticut. Pushing her hair out of her face, she looked into her mirror. If she saw her father today, he'd know she had been crying.
Her ponytail was all messy, and her eyes were red from her silent tears. Another tear strolled down her face, and mascara was diluted into it. Her face was all puffy and blotched up.
And Morgan McMahon was the real Daddy's Little Girl. He'd bombard her with questions. Why are you crying? Who made you cry?
She sighed and tried to concentrate on the road. To ease her mind, she fiddled with the radio when she stopped at a red light. She groaned when the first song came on. "I keep on fallin…In and out…Of love…With you… Sometimes I love ya, sometimes… You make me feel blue…"
"Shut up," She whispered to the radio. Why did her feelings have to be summed up in one perfect song when she didn't want to hear about it? She made a right turn, staring intently at the road, but seeing nothing. "Sometimes I feel good…At times I feel used…"
Morgan took a deep breath. "I got to get to the arena…Now." She glanced quickly at the radio and Alicia Keys was still singing everything out of Morgan's heart. "Lovin you darlin…Makes me so confused…"
She felt like breaking something. Everywhere she went, there was Chris. He was the minivan in front of her, the Toyota parked across the street. The mounds of stores she passed- that was Chris. "Will they leave me alone? I can't take it anymore! I am soon to be married…And I can't be falling in love… It's not right…." Morgan slammed her hands down on the steering wheel.
"Great," She sighed. "Traffic." Her eye twitched and she moaned again and burst into a whole fresh set of tears. "Move your fucking car, you moron!" She screamed.
No other choice but to wait, Morgan leaned back in the seat and thought. Thought about Chris. He was probably on the way to the arena himself, and he was probably stuck in this heavy traffic. Just knowing that he was going to the same place as she was… Overwhelming.
"I keep on fallin… In and out…Of love…With you…" The radio continued it's sassy R & B theme. Morgan groaned. Screaming, she quickly turned off the radio. The car in front of her suddenly moved. She shot up and drove away, more relaxed, since that the song was out of her head.
She sighed and took a breather. If this was how her morning started, she'd hate to see what the rest of her day was going to be like. "Look out!" She heard suddenly, breaking her out of her reverie. She snapped her head up quickly, just in time to see the other car crash into hers, but not in time to move.
