Chapter 2
SPOV
All Sonny could feel was intense pressure on her chest. Her lungs burned as she tried to hold on to the last breath she had taken. Suddenly she was aware of something pulling her shoulders roughly. She opened her eyes and saw Chad floating above her, trying desperately to pull her free of the car and the seat belt trapping her inside it. The car was sinking deeper and deeper still, with no sign of the bottom of the lake. Sonny realised, if she didn't get out know, she wouldn't be able to get to the surface fast enough. She struggled against the seat belt and she was set free. They both swam desperately to the surface of the water.
Sonny gasped painfully as the fresh air stung her burning lungs. She heard Chad gasp too. Chad! Sonny thought. She forced her voice out.
"Chad! Are you okay? Chad where are you?" Sonny spluttered, spinning around looking for him.
"I'm here." He coughed and hooked his arm around her waist. She was weaker than he was. She wiped her eyes with one hand and blinked at the bright sky. She and Chad looked up to the deathly bridge. They could see flashing lights of ambulances and fifty odd people staring over the side of the bridge searching for them.
"THERE THEY ARE!" Someone yelled from the audience. Sonny could see police and ambulance people making their way down the side of the bank towards them and helicopters flying above. All the people watching clapped and cheered when they saw Sonny and Chad. The two stayed afloat until the medical people reached them in a lifeboat.
"Give me your hand!" One man shouted and stuck out his hand to Sonny. She grasped it as firmly as she could, though it was probably very weakly to him. Chad forced Sonny upward with all his strength and another person offered their hand to him. He climbed in and sat next to Sonny. They shivered and Sonny curled up to him and he put his arms around her to keep warm.
Once they were finally up on the bridge where the ambulances were, they were given blankets to put around themselves and warm cups of tea to hold while they sat inside the vehicle. Lots of reporters and paparazzi turned up but the police coped with them easily. After a statement to the police, they all put it down to faulty steering. This meant Chad had no control over the wheel. They went along with it, trying not to think about the truth. How could they explain that the devil wanted them dead? Yeah, that would really go down well. The two nodded and agreed with the police until the medical officers gave them the all clear.
A police cruiser took them back to Chad's house.
"Are you sure you'll be okay here?" The officer asked Chad.
"Yes. My mum and dad will be home soon and I've got everything we need here." He replied, smiling at him.
"Okay, well if you feel any nausea or headaches, go straight to the doctor." He reminded them. They both nodded.
"Oh, and I'm afraid the car will not be able to be retrieved. The lake is too deep." He told Chad.
"I don't care about the car, everything I love here." He smiled again. They thanked the officer and went inside the house.
Chad went into the kitchen to make some hot chocolate while Sonny sat dumbfounded on the sofa.
She couldn't believe what had just happened. She felt as if she was just going to wake up at any moment. She didn't know how to accept that the devil had done this. She felt like it had just been a terrible accident but she knew she was just avoiding the thought that 9 more accidents were yet to happen. That's if, She corrected herself, if we survive the next one.
She wasn't stupid and she knew if the devil was after them, then these 'accidents' were only going to get much worse. Sonny took several deep breaths until she couldn't hold in the tears anymore. Sonny burst out crying and out her head in her hands.
"Hey, shhh. Shhh." Chad cooed, sitting next to her and letting her sob into his chest. "It will all be okay." Chad said. But Sonny could hear how uncertain his voice was. They sat like this for a while until the water had boiled and Chad went over to finish off the drinks. Calmer know, Sonny turned on the TV trying to distract herself.
It didn't work.
On every news channel there were videos of her and Chad taken by the helicopters. It showed them swimming over to the lifeboat and getting in to it. Sonny's heart somersaulted as she re-lived the moment. Chad stood behind the sofa with the drinks and looked at the TV. He sighed deeply and came to sit by Sonny.
"Do you think it's true Chad? Do you really think the devil is after us?" She asked, holding back more tears.
"I'm not sure. But it definitely wasn't the steering. I had the car checked out three days ago, and it was perfectly fine." Chad replied pulling Sonny closer to him. She crossed her legs and leaned into him. They sipped their hot drinks, unsure of what to say.
But the silence was interrupted when they heard a key in the front door's lock.
"Mom?" Chad called over to the door. The door flew open and Mrs Cooper stood there staring at them.
"Chad! Sonny! Thank heaven's you're alright!" She cried running over to them and putting her arms around them. Chad's dad followed in after her with the same relief on his face.
"He walked over to them and hugged them too once his wife had released them.
Before the 'accident', Sonny had become very close with Chad's mum and dad. They were like her second parents.
"The police called us and told us you were here. They didn't say much on the news." Mrs Cooper explained. Sonny was relieved that they were here. She felt safer with others around, especially Mr and Mrs Cooper.
"What happened?" Mr Cooper asked sitting next to Sonny. Mrs Cooper had sat in front of them on the coffee table and was holding one of Chad and Sonny's hands in hers. They explained about the car and about the police's reason for it all. Mr Cooper looked worried all the way through their speech, and Mrs Cooper blubbered now and then.
"Do your parents know?" He asked Sonny.
"The police said they'd contacted them." Sonny nodded.
"Good." He replied rubbing his hands together, still in shock.
"But it's all okay now. Were here and it's all going to be okay." Mrs Cooper soothed. She kissed Chad and Sonny on the forehead while Chad grasped Sonny's hand tightly. She knew he was thinking the exact same thing as she was.
This is far from okay and there's so much more to come.
