I am opening up a new contest........ All you have to do is comment below on whether or not you want to have a character based on you. I know it sounds stupid but...

Now I give to you a brand new chapter.

Chapter 74

Amy's POV

I watched in horror as Skylar's car sped across the slick ice. I closed my eyes and hoped that whatever happened, it would be quick and painless. I knew that Skylar was going to do everything he could to protect me but he was powerless right now. I thought how ironic it was that the song that I had been listening to on the ride to school. It had been “Jesus Take the Wheel” by Carrie Underwood, that had been playing on the radio.

Right now the lyrics played over in my head.

“She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
she was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared
She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel

Oh I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
Oh take it take it from me
Oh”

I just hoped that this little mess would end like the one in the song. That both Skylar and I would be unharmed. I opened my eyes and watched the tires on Skylar's car. They slid against the ice at an alarming rate. The car was less then ten feet from me now, and it was approaching fast.

Skylar's POV

I watched Amy's indigo eyes widen in horror as I jerked the steering wheel and began to spin. But just feet from hitting her the car finally came to a halt. I slumped in my seat and felt hot tears trickle down my cheeks.

I had nearly killed the girl I loved trying to save the girl I could never have. I had to stop trying to be Kandee's hero. I was far from being a hero.

My door was yanked open and Amy wrapped her small arms around me.

“I'm so sorry.” I whispered.
