How could this happen to me?

I've made my mistakes,

Got nowhere to run

As the night goes on

As I'm fading away,

I'm sick of this life,

I just wanna scream

Blood was going everywhere in the car. Jo thought that if she could just stop the bleeding, that she might be able to save him. Save his life, so they could live in happiness together, forever more.

What Jo didn't realise was just how much blood there actually was. It was coming from everywhere. PJ had multiple wounds, all over his body, although the worst was his face, where a giant cut had appeared from the top of his forehead diagonally down towards his other eye.

She looked at PJ's unconscious body, with disappointment, as though she knew, she knew what was coming, and what would happen after that.

Jo didn't even think of getting out of the car to phone for help, but then she realised that the radio was in there with her. She grabbed it but when she tried to use it it fuzzed and emitted funny coloured steam from its speaker. Not a good sign, so Jo decided to leave that idea. It must have been damaged in the crash, and there was no hope anyway.

As she looked at PJ she noticed little signs of life. He had drool coming from his mouth, in little spit bubbles, and his chest was moving in the slightest amounts. She smiled and started talking to him, slowly at first, but as he started showing more and more signs of life, she started talking faster and getting more excited.

He opened his eyes with great difficulty, and stared straight into Jo's bright shining eyes. He slowly looked down, and outside, at the truck, which was a little mangled, but not too much. He looked at Jo, with a meaningful look of understanding. He understood what happened, and what was happening. He realised that he probably wouldn't be on this earth for very much longer.

He was going to die, and nothing could save him.

He reached for Jo's hand, and they sat in the mangled car in silence, PJ not having enough energy to move or speak.

They could both feel the life seeping out of PJ, and they both knew he didn't have much time left.

His chest was heaving with the effort of breathing and he couldn't even see anything properly anymore. He shut his eyes, as the light was making them hurt, and for the last time he opened them, to look at his beautiful fiancee.

"You know I love you Joey." He said, with a heavy heart.

"I love you more than you could ever know Peej." She replied softly. "I love you forever and ever, and it'll never end" she sobbed.

"I'll love you always" he said, as he once again shut his eyes. He knew it wold be the last time he shut them, he could feel himself slipping away, an easier and painless life waiting for him on the other side.

"Until the end of the earth" he managed to say, just before he stopped breathing and fell silent.

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

A car was coming. Jo could hear it from a mile off. Just after it reached the crest of the hill and started coming down Jo regained her senses. She let go of PJ's hand, which she had been holding since…since…well, for a while, and tried to open the car door. She couldn't open it, so she kicked out the window and jumped out of that instead.

The car was stopping anyway, but Jo felt the need to flag it down, like it wouldn't sop unless she did that.

The driver stopped the car, turned off the engine and opened the door. She looked quickly at the accident, as though making a mental image of the whole scene.

"Is everyone OK?" she asked panicking.

"Yeah, things are…great." Jo hesitated. "We haven't got a phone, do you?" She asked quickly.

"Yeah, I'll just get some help" she said quietly.

She ran back to her car and pulled out her phone from the glovebox. She looked quickly at the screen.

"I'm just going to the top of the hill, there is no reception down here." She said.

"OK" Jo mumbled under her breath.

The girl ran up the hill hurriedly, and Jo stared at her with amazement. She must have been only about 20 years old, but she was handling the situation really well, better than she was, anyway. In the few seconds that Jo had looked at her, she noticed nearly everything about her appearance, she had taken it all in. Maybe it had something to do with being a copper.

She was tall, probably about 6 foot, and had a really small frame. She had dark brown straight hair, that reached all the way down to the middle of her back. And her eyes. Her eyes were the most amazing shade of blue. Jo looked at them and saw so many things, innocence, responsibility, warmth, fear of the unknown, but most of all trust. She had a look about her, that made Jo feel at ease, she was calm instantly, nothing in her mind.

The girl, who Jo realised she didn't know the name of, was coming back down the hill, with her trusty phone in her hand. She had a look of triumph in her eyes now, but when she got back she saw it fade as she once again realised the extent of this accident.

"The ambulance's are coming. So are the police. Don't worry, you are safe now honey." She said with sincerity.

Jo's body shook all over, and she realised just how alone she felt.

The girl looked over at her, moved closer and without one word took Jo's hand and held it. She looked at Jo straight into the eyes and embraced her, to keep her warm and safe.
