I would walk a thousand miles, if I could just see you tonight……………….I don't want to let you go………Making my way downtown, staring blankly ahead………….I still need you…..I miss you….. "Thousand Miles ~ Vanessa Carlton"

Her eyes flew open, that last taunting image played with her mind….
Jayme closed her eyes to remember.
A slender foot stepped off the curb to cross the road. Halfway across the road, screeching tires alerted her to something terrible coming her way.
Copper hair flew as she turned to look. A machine of metallic foreboding death flew at her. Frozen like a gazelle in terror at the impending predator coming to claim her. She moved one foot to the side, closing her eyes.
Time seemed to flow in slow motion.
The car slammed into her, throwing her dozens of feet to the hard burned cement of the sidewalk.
Impact. Bones breaking, blood gushing, flowing out of cuts and inside where no one could see the damage.
Reality. Aquamarine eyes opened, shadowed with pain. So much noise around her. Footsteps sounded like thunder as they moved closer.
Jayme. My poor daughter, now you will know the truth about your father. I love you dear daughter forever and always.
Closing her eyes for the last time, she surrendered to the pain claiming her body. Death loomed like a dark angel over her, coming to escort her soul down a new path.
Jayme opened her eyes, tears streaked down her cheeks. Her chest quivered with the emotions that wracked her body.
Mommy, I miss you. I can't talk to anyone here, no one else understands me, like you do. I miss you. Laying her head down on her pillow, Jayme struggled with her emotions, trying to regain control.
Closing her eyes, her mind ran through all her happy memories of her mom.
