Chapter 8

Camden Residence

Lucy, Kevin, Saru, Jamie, Jackie, Cori, Liz and Cassie all head straight for the kitchen as soon as they reach the Camden's house.

"So where's Sara?" Asks Liz.

"Upstairs probably but be quiet I'm sure all the kids are asleep." Lucy says, "I'll go get her." Lucy runs up the stairs to find Sara. A few minutes later Sara can be heard complaining.

"What is so important?" She whines as her and Lucy walk down the stairs, "I was completely content laying in bed with..." Sara turns her head so she is facing all her friends, "...Ethan." She finishes. "Oh my gosh! Hey guys." Sara rushes over and hugs everyone.

"We are taking you out!" Says Saru.

"Yea we voted. It's girls night out." Jamie states.

"Awesome lets go then." Sara says leading her friends out the door Lucy hangs back for a moment alone with Kevin.

"Are you sure you don't mind me kind of ditching you tonight?" She asks.

"Don't worry about it. You out with your friends. Do you have your cell phone?" He asks as he puts his arms around her.

"Yes." Lucy rolls her eyes thinking that they go through this every time she goes out with out him.

"Is it charged? Do you have the car charger?" Kevin asks.

"Yes and yes." Lucy says.

"Ok if..." Kevin starts.

"I need anything I will call you because you will be home. I know don't worry." Lucy finishes for him.

"I love you." Kevin says.

"I love you." Lucy says standing on her tiptoes to kiss Kevin.

"Drive carefully." He warns.

"I will." Lucy holds onto him for a moment longer until the girls outside start yelling for Lucy to hurry up. Lucy looks up at Kevin. "Bye." She says scooting out the door.

"Bye." Kevin says as he watches the three cars drive off.

At the Promenade

"So what do you guys want to do?" Sarah asks.

"We could go see a movie." Suggests Saru.

"Oh look live music!" Shouts Jamie. The girls sit and listen for a moment. "Let's mingle and party a bit." Says Jamie excitedly.

"O.K." The group says. The eight of them walk closer to the stage. They all get a table and Sara, Liz, Jackie and Jamie all head off to get drinks for the group leaving Saru, Cori, Cassie and Lucy to hang out. The girls at the table start talking and having a good time. Sara, Jackie, Jamie, and Liz return to the table with drinks for everyone.

Suddenly Sara yells "Oh my gosh!" The group looks up at her concerned.

"What?" Lucy says.

"I thought I just saw Dylan." She says whipping her head around to see if she can find him again.

"What, where?" Lucy bolts into a standing position.

"Uh, what's going on?" Asks Jackie

"Nothing. Listing girls night out was fun but we gotta go." Lucy says really fast.

"We'll see you guys later." Sara says as her and Lucy rush to Lucy's car leaving the others befuddled.

In Lucy's car.

"I'm calling Kevin." Lucy says slightly panicking. "Hi....No not really....We saw Dylan....I don't know....We are in the car...We're coming home...No I don't think anyone is following us...O.K...I love you too...Bye." Lucy hangs up with hims and continues to drive home. They stop at a red light.

"What is he saw us?" Says Sara wringing her hands.

"Don't worry. Kevins getting a buddy of his, Jacob, to pick him up in a cruiser and the two of them will escort us home. We just need to drive somewhere with lots of people and wait for them. When we get there we'll call Kevin." Says Lucy. The light turns green and they start through the intersection not noticing Dylan's black car speeding from the left until too late, when it slams into the drivers side forcing Lucy's jeep to roll and causing Sara and Lucy to become unconscious.

In the police car

"So where is your wife?" Jacob asks.

"I don't know. She's not answering her cell phone." Kevin says as he repeatedly tries to call Lucy. The radio crackles to life making Kevin worry even more.

"Car 14, car 14. Report to Parrish and Main. We have a 10-20 car accident. Reportedly a Jeep. Two victims. Ambulances on the way. 10-4 over."

Jacob reaches for the receiver, "10-4 over."

"I have a bad feeling about this." Kevin says as his friend hits the gas and turns on the lights and siren.

At the accident scene

Jacob and Kevin pull up to the crash site and locate the car quickly. They run to the overturned car. Jacob turns to Kevin who is frozen in shock.

"What's wrong?" Jacob yells.

"That's Lucy's car." Kevin says running to his wife's side. Kevin rips open Lucy's car door only to find his wife unconscious and bleeding from the head. Jacob runs to the other side to look at Sara.

"We've got to get them out of here!" Kevin yells unstrapping Lucy and carefully getting her out of the car. Jacob does the same to Sara. Kevin places Lucy down on the ground and is relived to find her breathing and pulse rate to be relatively normal. Finally the EMTs arrive and get Lucy and Sara set up in the ambulance. Kevin jumps in with Lucy his hand never leaving his. "Call Ethan!" Kevin shouts as the EMTs close up the doors and take off to the hospital.

A/N: I have no medical training besides a Red Cross Card for CPR, first aid and Aquatics so if some of this makes no sense sorry.
