Chapter 6! Exciting :) Sooooo, the start of this chapter is set out differently, but I wasn't sure how else to write it. Let me know what you think :)
The beep of a horn,
The sharp intake of breath,
The screeching of tires,
The thud of my body hitting the bonnet,
The cracking of the windscreen,
The sizzling of steam,
The yelling of people on phones,
The yelling of people in general,
The sobbing of a young girl,
The swearing of the driver,
The sirens of Emergency services,
The pounding of boots on the road,
The crunching of glass underneath,
The yelling of Paramedics,
The squeaking of wheels,
The gush of air from foam,
The click of clips,
The bang of metal on metal,
The slamming of doors,
The whistle of wind,
The blaring of sirens,
The gurgling in my throat,
The sucking of oxygen,
That's what I remember. That's all I can remember. After that;
The pain.

Sam's POV
The clatter of my phone hitting the floor,
The sob of an anguished cry,
The clinking of keys,
The bang of a door,
The revving of an engine,
The beep of a horn,
The clicking of an indicator,
The squeaking of breaks,
The thud of my boots on pavement,
The whoosh of glass doors opening,
The collective intake of breaths,
The beeping of machines,
The cries of Traci,
The beeping of machines,
The cracking of Frank's voice,
The beeping of machines,
The muffled breathing of Tommy,
The beeping of machines,
The whispering of Nick,
The solitary BEEEEEEEEPPPP.
The screaming of Traci,
The thud as she hits the floor,
That's what I remember. That's all I can remember. After that;
The numbness.
I stood there for what felt like hours, but was really only a few minutes, in complete shock. If she died I would never forgive myself. She did for one minute, or so they tell me, she was dead for one minute. She was rushed off to surgery, and then we played the waiting game. It was a long game.
There was a moment, call it an epiphany if you will, when I realized, that cop or not, our time could come at any moment. Andy wasn't on the job toady. For all intensive purposes, today she was a civilian, and she could be dead. It doesn't matter, who you are, what you do, who you love, death is inevitable, and the pain of losing someone is inevitable. I already know I love her, I already know I want to be with her, but now, I deicide, never to let her go, no matter what.
From this moment on, I will savor every touch, every kiss, every smile, every word, every moment of our time.
I don't know how long we were waiting for, but when I see the doctor, everyone stands up cautiously waiting to hear if Andy had come through. The relief spreads over us all, as he tells us she made it. A broken arm, leg and a rib, is all that's left to be fixed. They stopped all internal bleeding.
Tommy goes to see her first, when he comes back he tells us she is awake, and she wants to see me. There is no cautiousness, no nervousness, only a strong urge to hold her.
When I walk into her room, she smiles at me. The first words out of her mouth are "I'm staying". I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding, I smile and quickly walk to her, finally I get to hold her, I get to kiss her, I get to make her smile. I will never stop.
