"Mark, you bastard! Why'd you just leave them?"

"I can't be seen doin stuff like that! I'll lose my-"

"Didn't you even look at them?"

"Who?"

"the kids you hit! They weren't moving, Mark! You might have killed them!"

"I didn't kill them."

"The car was upside down! You caused that!"

"Keep your voice down!"

"No! For God's sake, Mark they were youner than me i rekon."

"Good, they'll think it was a new driver that caused it. come on, Bro let it go."

"Don't call me that."

"Bro? I've always called you that, ever since you were-"

"I don't know who you are."

Karen arrived at the hospital at four o'clock. They had spent an age cutting Rodney out of the car, he was wedged in by his legs.

"Is he okay? will he be alright?"

"I'm sorry little girl, it doesn't look good." Kaen watched helplessly at the boy, their first date and she had to go and kill him. If she hadn't wanted to go so soon, then he wouldn't be fighting for his life.

"Hey, come on!"

"No. I'm not getting in a car with you."

"Come on, br- John."

"Unless you're going to the police, I'm not going anywhere with you."

"John, please can you let it go, that was like a week ago."

"Well, they're probably still in the hospital, or dead. I will not let it go."

"Fine! Don't let it go!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"What are you talking about, Kar?"

"I'm sorry, okay..."

"Karen... Karen!" He turned her face to look at him. "Karen this isn't your fault."

"No, I should have paid more attention."

"Karen.."

"I really am sorry, Rod-"

"I'm fine, Karen. Look-" he held up his hands "Ten fingers-"

"Your wrist's broken."

"...ten toes."

"leg too, they had to break it to get you out."

"My point is, Karen; I'm alive. there's no lasting damage. And even if there was it wouldn't be your-"

"We're moving away." Karen said quickly.

"What? why?"

"I...I can't live here. this town...I just..."

"Kar-"

"I'm sorry."

Karen woke up late on the ninth of may. Her alarm clock had run out of battery in the night. she swore lightly as she pulled on her jeans. Damn it! I'm meant to meet Chrissy in... five minutes ago! Where's my phone?" As she scurried around she knocked into a small box which burst open at the seams spilling photos and year books over the floor. Shoot! She gathered them up putting themin a large pile on the floor. In doing so her eyes fell on a yearbook graffitied all over the cover. 1982. she and her best friend had drawn all over the cover to cover up the horrible photo of the 'popular' kids.Rodney. I wonder what happened to him..oh god- ninth of may. That makes it 22 years. She flicked to the music club picture, there she was on the piano next to Rodney, they didn't see the camera kid come in so he caught them as them. She had been sitting down loking at the picture for a few minutes when a knock came from the door. That'll be Chrissy saying hey! As she opened the door she started talking.

"Look, Chrissy, I'm sorry I didn't-"

"Hi, Kar." It was Rodney.

Reviews reviews please! Oh before any more confusion- There's at least one more chapter.
