Author's Note: Hey everyone! Wow, when was the last time I was here? Well, I haven't added anything to the story. I've just revamped it a little so it's a bit more readable. I'll be finished shortly. Now, at the moment, I have three stories going. I won't be able to make that sequel I wanted to. Although, in the long run, I'll try to work on it. You know the disclaimers. If not, go to the credits page and read them there. Hope you enjoy the more readable version of 'Foolish'. Bye!

Prologue:

The accident

The couple inside the car hadn't spoken in what seemed like forever. The tension was high and patience was thin. The woman tossed her wavy, dirty- blonde hair behind her shoulders and sighed anxiously.

"What? Now you've got a problem with my driving?" the man interrogated.

"I never said anything about your driving!" she spat, her face slowly turning a slight shade of red.

"You already have a problem with Mac and my relationship. You won't even let me raise my own son the way I'd like to. You get ballistic!"

"I go ballistic because all you two ever do is argue. He's out there earning some money for us, and you get angry that he skips the last half hour of school. And you don't even know the full story of why he skips. Can't you let him off the hook once?"

"Let him off the hook? I want our son to get the best education. To become the best he can be. I don't want his help earning money. I'm sure the two of us together can get more than enough. That's why I don't let him off the hook."

The woman's voice raised higher. "This is exactly why I never get to see my son anymore. Because you scare him off. And we end up getting into bigger fights while he's gone. This is why he gets mad at you. Because you can't control your temper. You are a jerk, a liar, and a rotten father!"

"You take that back!" as he took his hand off the steering wheel, along with his eyes, and slapped his wife across the face.

There wasn't even time to shout a warning. Before there was any time to react, the car slid on the icy road and smashed right into a pole on the side of the road.
