As she's walking down the hall she runs into Luka. Literally runs into him and as he catches her in his arms he says:
"Why?"
"I…We need to get going or else we're going to be late for work." He lets go of her and she practically runs away from him. "Alex let's go!" She yells as she heads to the bathroom to pull her unruly hair up into a pony tail.
Fifteen minutes later she's sitting in the car with Alex and Luka in total silence. Alex is playing with his Gameboy and Luka is concentrating on the road. She drums her fingers on the arm rest of the car door as the car speeds down the road towards Alex's school. She sighs because of her boredom and leans forward to turn on the radio. But as she is monkey-ing with the buttons and knobs, Luka slams on the brakes and uses one of his hands to push her body back against the back of her seat. Her whole body went numb as the car slammed into the side of the other car. The crunching of metal filled her ears and it seemed as if the world had stopped.
"Sam, are you okay?" He asked, his voice filled with concern as he stood beside her after quickly exiting the car.
She nodded her head and pain was sent shooting up and down her neck.
She whimpered.
"What? Is it the baby?" His hand automatically went to her stomach but she shook her head.
"No it's my neck. How's Alex?" She asked him.
Sunlight hit her eyes as Luka stepped aside to unbuckle her seat belt.
"I'm fine Mom."
She turned her head to search for where the voice had come from. She saw Alex standing by the open passenger door. As soon as her seat belt shot back into place, Sam slid out of the car but when she stood up she had to grab onto Luka's arm. Luka grabbed onto her body, his strong arms keeping her on her feet.
"What's wrong?" He asks clearly alarmed, his eyes darting up and down her body checking for any signs of an injury.
"Nothing. I'm just a bit dizzy."
"Here let's set you down on the curb."
He helped her walk over to the curb and she sat down. That's when she first got a look at the other car. The side of it was crushed in and a clearly pregnant woman had blood trickling down her head while her husband stood beside where she sat on the curb.
"Luka go help that woman," she commanded. Luka hesitated. The boyfriend and expectant father part of him told him to stay but the doctor part of him told him to help the woman who was clearly more hurt. "Go Luka."
He nodded and walked over to the woman and the man.
"Are you okay?" The man nodded and turned his attention back to his wife. "Here let me take a look at the cut." He bent down and started to take a look at the woman's cut but the woman's husband pushed him away.
"I don't need some foreigner touching my wife," he spat as he glared at Luka.
"I'm a doctor."
"Ryan let him help."
"Fine."
The man nodded and Luka started to look at her cut.
"Have you called 911 yet?" He asked the man as he applied pressure to the woman's cut.
"Yeah they should be here soon."
"Luka!" His head whipped around when he heard Alex yelling for him.
Sam was lying on the ground on her side. He felt his blood run cold in his body.
"Keep applying pressure." He told the couple as he ran back to Sam.
