I sat awkwardly in the boys car as he drove down the dark side of town. It was a silent ride. A few times I contemplated saying something but I didn't know what to say. I squeezed my eyes and fiddles my thumbs around in my hands. As I let out a deep breath the boy cleared his throat. I flicked my eyes open and looked over to him and brushed the hair out of my eyes. I looked over to the brown haired boy. His eyes were focused on the road but I could still see the deep brown coloring. "I'm Liam" he spoke, breaking the not so awkward silence. "Kira, are you new here?" I asked rudely. "uh yeah I am.. My mum just got a job here recently, so we moved up here" he had a funny accent, kind of American. "oh really, we're are you from?" I continued. "Wolverhampton" he told me, while quickly taking his eyes off the road and looking at me. I smiled at him and he flicked his gaze back to the street. Wow, was my guess off or what! Haha. "really? You sound American!" I pointed out. "everyone says that, but i don't know why!" he laughed, he had a cute laugh "you have the accent" I explained while looking out the front window. "I love this song!" Liam blurted out and turned up the radio. How did he know this song was on? The sound coming from the stereo wasn't very loud before. 'love on top' by Beyonce starting playing. "me too!" I agreed and starting singing the lyrics. Liam joined in, putting my voice to shame. "wow, your a good singer!" I told him excitedly. "aw thanks" he smiled. Soon we had a karaoke session in his car. Liam looked at me for a few seconds. I looked back at him. Then at the road. "LIAM!" I screeched as he drove through a red light into the intersection. A massive eight wheeler truck came straight at me. I let out a faint scream before closing my eyes. I jolted forward, the seatbelt dug into my skin, I winced in pain.
"Bailee! Bailee!" Liam cried while shaking me continuously. I flittered my eyes open. "jace?" I whispered. "Liam" he corrected me. "what's going on!" I rushed up, dizziness filled my head. Everything was blurry. "woah, slow down, we just had a bit of an accident" he explained to me "are you ok?" I asked curiously. "yeah I'm fine! You on the other hand, how's your head? Does it hurt?" he asked me, sounding truly intrigued. "sore, but when isn't it." "here wrap your hand around my neck, I'll get you out of the car" he grabbed my hand and stuck it around his neck. I gripped my hand in his shoulder as her lifted me out of my seat and placed me down on the ground. I looked around at the surroundings. Trees, dirt, gravel and weeds. Liam had obviously driven into a small ditch on the side of the road. "what happened?" I asked. "we'll, i was distracted while we drove up to the intersection ad I didn't see the light go red, so I continued driving.. And a big truck came full speed towards you, so I swerved and we drove into this ditch." he explained. "golly" I whispered.
