Suffer In Silence
Tell Me You Want Me to Stay
The drive home was silent like the first, aside from the radio being on, except this time it wasn't awkward. I feel like it was a bonding experience for us, I'm not expecting a miracle or anything, but I hope he hates me a little less now. The song on the radio changes, it's La Bamba, I see dad smile a little, he begins to quietly sing along. I smile, I love seeing him like this, I sing along too, dad hears me, and looks over, surprised. We smile at eachother, still singing along.
He looks back to the road, just in time to see he's about to run a red light and collide with a semi, he slams on the breaks.... Everything seems to go in slow motion from then on... We screech to a stop just in time. I realise in horror, too late, that I hadn't put my seatbelt on properly... I fling forward and crash into the windscreen, everything goes black....
*CC's POV*
It's like a horror show before me, the car ahead of me is suddenly slamming it's breaks on. I'm way too close to stop in time, we're gonna hit... My Kombi slams into the back of the car... We are jolted forward seconds later, slamming my head back onto my steering wheel, someone's hit us from behind, oh god Andy was behind us... Through my daze I hear screaming, a man ahead of us is screaming someone's name, oh god what if someone died... OH MY GOD THE OTHERS!... I start screaming their names, desperate to know their all ok....
"Calm down C it's fine, we're ok, I checked them while you were knocked out" Jinxx assures me. "Wait, I was knocked out? For how long?" I ask, slightly alarmed. He ponders the question for a few seconds, "about 30 seconds I'm guessing, the others have some bruising and are in shock, but otherwise fine" he explains. "And you? Jinxx, what about you?", he looks uncomfortable... "Well, I can't move, my seat-belt is cutting into me, but I'll be fine, don't worry, it's Andy I'm worried about, that shitbox of his can't have taken the hit well", we share scared looks, what if Andy's... dead?...
*Andy's POV*
All I remember is seeing CC's van crash into a car, I didn't even have time to break. It was as if time slowed down, I crashed into CC's van, my air-bag didn't work, so I used my arms to protect my face, the last thing I remember was hearing someone screaming. Then I realised, it was me screaming, I had broken my right arm and my nose, that's when the world went dark and I passed out....
And that brings me back to now, I'm gaining consciousness back, I can hear several ambulances, I look groggily to my right, my door Is being pulled off... that's gonna be a bitch to fix... "Young man, can you see us? can you hear us?" the paramedic asks, flashing a light in my eyes, I nod, the effort makes me sick, he hands me a bag and I throw up, passing out again shortly after....
*Sandra's POV*
I can't believe this is happening, one second we were on our way to our first gig, the next, we're part of a three car pile-up. I don't know who was in the first car, but I want to kick their irresponsible asses. Because of them, Andy and Jinxx are in surgery, Andy's nose and right forearm are broken, and Jinxx is having a seat-belt removed from his chest, they said he needs his entire chest stitched up, where the seat-belt had embedded into his skin.
At least the rest of us are fine, with the exception of bruising and CC's face being cut up... Speaking of CC, he's rushing over now, his face a ghostly white, "CC what's wrong?" I say, trying to stay calm for his benefit. "The other car... it was Koda and her dad! her dad is fine except for a big cut on his forehead, but Koda is in a coma! They don't know when she'll wake up!" he looks terrified, I hold him close, I'm not much of a cuddly person, but goddamnit this is an exception. We've only known her a short time, but already she's part of our family, she's one of us....

Thank you I do :) and don't worry I haven't forgotten the brumby, she goes to see him when she can but isn't 'pushing it' with his training, she's letting him get used to her presence first. And no problem, I love Spirit so using a song from the movie was awesome haha its coo to hear another persons point of view on the whole 'Mr. Pierce/Koda 'relationship'' thing. By no means do I condone the kind of thing that's going on there, but I wanted to give it a different feel to it that confuses the reader in some way at least. I'm very happy that y liked the chapter, I hope the next one is also to your liking haha :)
