To the Moon and Back

Chapter 32

Over the course of about 2 months, now getting close to the end of October, we covered more than half of America and we're on our way to finish the tour in California. Hunter, who is now 6, loves traveling and gets a kick out of all the attention he gets. The trips are now 3 months old. I still can't believe its been three months already. Noah and Ashton are the trouble makers, as I'm finding out quickly; fighting over who gets the blankie, even though there are two in there. Its funny to watch them though, grabbing onto the ends of the blanket, pulling with the little force they have. Emma, on the other hand is quite calm. She is definitely a 'Daddy's Girl'. She only let's Niall put her to bed at night, prefers when he feeds her, and giggles the most when she plays with him. Today I'm talking Hunter out to dinner and a movie for some time alone.

"What would you like for dinner little guy?" The waitress at Applebee's asked. I took him there because its his favorite place to eat.

  "Chicken fingers please." He smiled.

"Alright, and may I say that you have amazing manners." Hunter giggled at the waitress and thanked her. I ordered my food then the two of us had some time to talk.

  "So, Hunt," I said, "do you like being on tour with daddy?"

"Yeah, I like the bus and my bed."

"That's nice" I smiled.

  "When I grow up I'm going to be just like daddy. I'm going to tour the world and have lots of friends and marry a pretty mommy, like you."

"You've got big dreams for a little boy." I smiled. The food came and we ate, got dessert then left.

  "Are you buckled up?" I asked turning around to Hunter. He gave me 2 thumbs up then I pulled out.

"What movie do you want to see?" I asked while driving.

"Finding Dory!" Hunter cheered.

"Alright." I smiled, "We're almost there baby."

"Okay, and Mommy, thank you so very much for taking me. I love you."

  "I love you more." I smiled. I could see the theatre in the distance, and in my rearview mirror, a car that was very close to us. They were driving recklessly and getting closer to us. I looked to my sides but there was nowhere to pull put of the way. Fear struck through my body, as I saw the car, and Hunter smiling in the backseat unaware of it being there. Almost there, I thought as we got closer to the theatre, and as I tried to pull into the parking lot, it happened. The car slammed into the side of us, sending us in a spiral, into a tree. The glass of our windshield broke in and got me in the face, and because the car hit my side, the metal crushed in and trapped my legs. The air bags puffed out and I was in a lot of pain, but I didn't care. I was top worried about Hunter.

  "HUNTER!" I yelled frantically, "CAN YOU HEAR ME? ARE YOU OKAY?" I heard little sobs but no response, "HUNTER! HUNTER!" I yelled and got dizzy, as the smoke was suffocating. I tried to free myself from the metal.

"HUNTER I NEED YOU TO ANSWER ME. PLEASE. I NEED TO KNOW THAT YOURE OKAY." I could see police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks but I stayed focused on Hunter. I couldn't see him, but I prayed he was there and was alright.

"Hunter, please. I need you to tell me you're alright. I love you so much. I need to know you're alright." I sobbed, and with all the noise and police and fire men trying to pry open the doors, I heard my baby.

"I love you mommy." Then the smoke chocked me, and I passed out.
