Gah. Sorry for such a slow upload this time. Inspiration doesn't come easy, but I'll absolutely finish it. Mark my words! x) Anyway, thanks for reading! :)

Suddenly everything is bright. So bright and vivid things almost seem clear. Then I see her. The person who's influenced, scared, and impacted my life the most. Julia. She's completely opposite of her surroundings, yet somehow she shares the same amount of brilliance.

She talks beside me. "Eli. What do you think you're doing? Have you learned anything?" She looks at me sternly.

I hear the sound of my heartbeat in my ears, making it difficult to concentrate. "W-what?" I blurt out. There's panic in my voice and I don't know why. It makes my heart beat faster.

"Put the phone down, Eli." Julia stares at me.

I look at my hand and sure enough my phone is in it. "Why am I-?" I look at her desperately to explain.

"Eyes on the road, Eli." She points ahead.

We're in Morty.

"W-what are we doing in Morty? I crashed him!" Dropping the phone, I grip the steering wheel tightly with both hands.

Julia's brow furrows as her gaze fixes on me. She speaks with intensity. "Not yet. You still have a choice. Eli. Everything since the accident has been a lesson you can learn from. I'm trying to show you that you can change things. For the better."

"How do I do that?"

The hearse drives quickly almost on it's own. I don't have control of the speed, just the steering. I watch the world fly by as I wait for Julia's words.

Julia explains. "It's simple. Don't crash Morty. Clare needed space, and you saw for yourself that crashing Morty was far more space that you wanted."

I think back to the hospital. The way Clare looked at me with fear in her eyes.

"No. You scare me Eli!"

I shake my head trying to concentrate. I blink and come back to the present, or whatever this is. I try and focus on the road. Crashing the hearse did no good. It might have brought her to the hospital but only because I gave her no choice. I scared her, and then she left. Left me.

Julia speaks again. "Eli, every moment since you crashed Morty has been a glimpse of what you can change. Right now. You need to decide. I don't have much more time to help you."

There's urgency in her words which makes things even more difficult to understand. I don't want to lose her too. Not again.

I nod as I blink back tears, and hit the breaks hard.

The world goes silent.
