It's been a long time since I've updated. I hope you enjoy the new chapter

"Howard"

Howard opened his eyes and looked around.

"Howard"

Who was calling him? He looked around again but there was nobody there. He closed his eyes and all he could see was Vince, lying so helpless in the wreckage that was their van.

-o-

"Howard I can't move." Vince cried.

"Hold still little man," Howard said, trying not to worry Vince. Howard knew that Vince's neck could well be broken and could barely hide the worry in his own voice. "I'll try and get myself free and call for help." Howard tried to undo his seatbelt but it was stuck. He tried to wriggle himself out of the one thing keeping him trapped inside this mangled cell, and eventually got free. He pulled his mobile phone out of his pocket and dialled the emergency number. The operator only took a little while to pick up but it felt like an eternity.

"Police, Ambulance or –" he cut the operator off.

"AMBULANCE! " He practically yelled into the phone. He waited for another eternity before…

"What's you're emergency?"

"There's been a crash! He's dying. I need help!"

"Okay sir, calm down. Can you tell me where you are?"

"I don't know. I need help. Please help him!" Tears were streaming down his face, his words were jumbled, he wasn't sure if the lady on the phone could understand him.

"I'm near a cliff, it's on a bend. There are lots of trees."

"Sir, can you see any signs?" Howard looked around. He saw a sign.

"Umm," he sniffed, "there's a sign that says Clifftop Road."

"Okay sir, we'll send an ambulance right away." Howard hung the phone up before she had even finished her sentence and ran to Vince's side. He was unconscious but he looked so pale, almost dead. "It's okay little man, an ambulance is on the way. You're going to be fine. Going to be fine. Going to be fine…" Howard started rocking back and forth telling himself that everything was going to be fine…

-o-

Howard opened his eyes to find his cheeks streaming with tears. He couldn't handle this anymore. He had to end it soon, the memories were too painful.
