Shayla's POV
That night, after my encounter with Breakdown, I went into the living room to see mama and John, her boyfriend, sitting on the couch together. I nearly gagged as I walked by. I wanted to go outside for a walk but they had other plans in mind.
"Hija," (daughter; pronounced ee-ha) mama began, "take a seat, por favor." I sat down on the chair nearby.
"We have exciting news." John said. Oh no, por favor tell me that it's not what I'm thinking.
"John and I are engaged." Mama announced. My blood ran cold and I'm sure the color drained out of my face.
"Que?" (What?) I whispered.
"We're getting married." John said. That's when all my anger flooded in.
"POR QUE?"(Why?) I demanded. They seemed to be taken off guard. "Mama he doesn't know one word of Spanish and what about my real papá?"
"Hija, it's been ten years…" mama trailed off.
"I don't care how long it's been! I can't believe you! Do you even care about how I feel?" I yelled. Tears started to flow. John stood up but I shoved him aside and ran out the door. I heard my mom scream and I saw bright headlights then everything went black.
Shayla's mom's POV
I watched in horror as the car slammed into Shayla. I heard her bones get crushed from the porch. The driver of the car ran out mortified. I heard John calling 911 inside. I ran up to my only hija who was lying on the hard cement unmoving. She wouldn't wake up and she wasn't breathing. John came out with the phone in his hand.
"Don't worry; they're on their way." He said. Neighbors started to come outside after hearing the approaching sirens. One was a friend of Shayla's I believe. I think his name's Raf. He came up and managed to get to the front of the crowd. He gasped and tears welled up in his eyes.
"W-what happened?" he asked with a shaky voice.
"Raf go back home," I said. The paramedics came and put her on a gurney and into the ambulance. I went in with them and we drove off. They were giving her an oxygen mask and trying to wake her up. She was breathing but not responding. That's when it sunk in that this was all my fault. At the hospital the doctors told me that she had suffered a major concussion and head trauma and is now in a coma. I was stunned to say the least. My hija might die! If we had only agreed to ask her first about her opinion instead of announcing our engagement she may have been okay.
If it's not obvious already I sometimes like to put my characters through pain. You'd see that if you've read any of my other stories as well XD And it's been brought to my attention by an anonymous reader that I've been spelling Raf's name wrong. Sorry! I'll start writing it correctly! And if you think Knockout isn't being exactly like he is in the show and you don't like it well then I'm sorry but you're going to have to deal with it. The best part about writing a fanfic is that you can put a twist on a character that others may not have thought of.
