Chapter 3

His POV

I watch as I car stops as I hop into the passenger side as we head into the tunnel.

"That was a nasty wreck,"

"You can tell me that again. The driver of the car, Annabelle is in bad shape. She for sure has head damage and not sure what else,"

"Damn, wait how do you know her name?"

"Her wallet dropped when they picked her up,"

"Ahh gotacha, so want to go to practice late or home?"

"I want to go see how she is,"

"You can't find out dude, only family can,"

"True, just go to practice. Why are you late?"

"You woke me up, my alarm never went off,"
I shake my head as he turns down one street to another until he reaches the parking garage of the Consol Energy Center.

My mind is still on Annabelle and what happened to her.
It wasn't her fault nor my fault for what happened, it was an accident.

He parking his car on the 4th floor as I get out of the car and head for the elevator to get down to the first floor of the CEC.

Walking down the hall, I turn and head into the locker room area as my stuff and James's  stuff still hanging in the stalls.

Walking over, I start to change into my gear from my jeans, sweater and shoes.
By the time James came into the room, I am placing my helmet on.

"See you out there," I say as I head out and head for the ice.

"Your late," Dan says as I hit the ice and skate over to the rest of the team.

"I was in and accident Dan, James picked me up," I say.

"Take your two laps around and come back for the mustache boy comptation,"
I nod my head as I take my two laps around the rink as I stop behind Brooks.

"James two laps, hurry up," Dan says as I watch him then he joins us.

"It's Mustache Boy time," Dan says.
I really hope I wasn't it this month.

I wait my turn as I take a puck and pass it right behind Flower.

"Hell ya," I say as I take over to the boards and take a set next too Joey.

"So what happened?" He asks as I watch Suttsy miss the goal.

"Oh man, I was in a traffic accident this morning, I was gonna skip practice so I turned around to head home and yea. Bad mistake,"

"Damn, lose you car?"

"The front end of it but the car I hit, it's gone meaning it caught fire,"

"Oh man, is the driver ok?"

"She's in the hospital so she will be ok,"

"How'd you know it was a she?"

"I saved her from her car before it explosed,"

"Oh damn, glad you both are ok,"

"Me too,"

"Final two, Suttsy and Nealer," Dan says.
I turn and watch as the two battle it out.

I watch as James missed.

"Last time Sutter, if you miss we will have two mustache boys for October,"
I watch as he goes left and it goes in the corner.

"No shaving James," James says as I get off the boards, laughing.
He's gonna look so good.

"Good job," I say as I place my hand on his shoulders.

"You need to find a way home," James says as I laugh, knowing he was joking.

Following him back into the locker room, I change from my uniform and back into my normal clothes with deodorant on.

"You ready to see if someone is up there?" James asks.

"Yeah but I'll just walk up to Mercy, it's not very far,"

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I can call you once I'm done?"

"Sure,"

"Alright,"
I head out of the locker room and walk back to the garage area as I walk out onto the pavement.

"Have a good day?" a man says at the gate.

"you two,"
I walk in front of the building and head down the next street then to the next street as I find the hospital.

Walking into the emerancy department, I see this middle aged couple crying.
The lady looks exactly like Annabelle, but she has black hair instead of brown, so I walk up.

"Hello, I don't mean in interrupt you but are you Annabelle Watson's parents?" I ask as the lady looks up at me then the man.

"Yes we are, who are you?" Her dad asks me.

"I'm Paul Martin, I'm the one who saved your daughter's life," I say as I sit down in front of them.
I talked about the crash and told them what happened as a doctor walks over here.

"How's our baby girl?" Her mom asks as I look up at him.

"She's not doing so well, she has bleeding on the brain, she is on oxygen, she has a broken left leg and  she's not awake as of yet so I believe she's in a coma as well,"

I place my head into my hands, that is the worst possible news that I wanted to hear about her.

"Thank you, can we see her?" Her dad asks.

"Here shortly,"

"Thank you,"
He walks away as I see her dad wrap his arms around her mom as they both started to cry.
I'm already there.

I didn't want to hear anymore news about her until she is awake and alert.

"Paul,"
I look up as I look at her dad.

"Yes sir,"

"Thank you for telling us what happened and for saving her life,"

"Your welcome sir,"

"Would you like to see her when we do? I can tell a little lie to do it,"

"Thank you sir,  would like to see her with you,"
He places his hand out as her mom sits up.

"I'm Billy Watson and this is my wife Sara,"

"Nice to meet you two, granted I rather not be here at a hospital,"

"Oh us neither, thank you again Paul," Sara says.
I smile as I see James walking into the hospital.

"How is she?" James asks as he sits next to me.

"She's in bad shape, James these are her parents,"
He turns and faces them.

"I'm sorry to hear about your daughter," James says.

"Thanks, were you involved too?" Billy asks.

"No sir, I am Paul's friend,"

"Ahh gotacha,"

Minutes pass into hours as the doctor returns.

"Would you like to see her?"

"Yes sir," Billy says standing up.
I watch as him and Sara stand up as Billy asks "Can her boyfriend come too?"

"Sure,"
I stand up and follow behind them as we stop by the room.

"I'll be back in 30 minutes to get you folks,"

"Thank you doctor," Billy says as he opens the door as I follow into the room.

"My poor babygirl," sara says as she walks over to the bed.

Tears are actually falling down my eyes as I see this lifeless woman laying in a bed.
She has a oxygen mask on, IV in and foot hang up.

I don't think I could do this and see her like this.

Chapter 2

 Opening my eyes up to the brightness of the light coming from the window behind me and in front of me.

"Geez, it's bright," I say, loudly as I get out of bed with my phone in hand.

Turning it on, I froze in place at the text message that is in the screen.

"I'm going to be a dad Ann, this is Jessica's ultrasound photo. Hope you can see him or her when they are born,"
I see this very small object on the picture that he sent.

"Wow, he is going to be a father," I say.

"Who is?"
I jump as I turn to see mom standing there.

"Geez mom you scared me. Sean is going to be a dad," I say.

"Really? Hasn't he been dating Jessica for a few months now?" Mom asks.

"Yea but it's his life and I'm happy for him,"
We dated for two years and in that two years time we talked about having a baby but we never did. That is actually what broke us up. He wanted a child and I wasn't ready for one.

"Good, Breakfast is ready when you want it. When you leaving?"

"After breakfast, I'll be down in a few minutes,"

"Dress warm,"
I watch as she walks out of my room and closing the door behind her.

I walk over to my closet as I open the door and walk in.

I pull down a pair of jeans, a long sleeve black shirt with a sparkle short sweater.
I change right there from my pjs to the outfit that I picked out.

After that, I place my hair up and get my shoes on as I make my way out of my room.

Walking downstairs, I head right for the kicthen where I see mom sitting down at the dining room table.

"Dad at work?" I ask as I take my place at the table.

"Yes at 6 this morning, what are your plans after your drive?" Mom asks.

"Not sure probably look at local schools I guess,"

"Annie, your not ready for college you need to see if you can't find any modeling jobs local here in Pittsburgh. Then you'll have money rolling in,"

"Good idea mom,"

I ate my breakfast as I get up from the table to grab my keys which were on the counter.

"You heading out? Wear your jacket. Oh your father left the clicker in your car to the garage" Mom says.

"I'm planning to wear my jacket, I'll be back later. Call me if you need me. Love you," I say as I grab my jacket and head out the door that leads to the garage

I see that dad has moved my car into the garage as I use the keys to unlock it and get in.

"Heat for sure, wonder if the heat will work in this thing," I say as I turn the car on and turn on the heat.
I hit the black button that was above my head as I see the garage door opening from behind me.

Looking back, I start to back out of the garage then the driveway.
Once out on the road, I place it in drive and head out for the gate to the roads.

"GPS, take me to Pittsburgh," I say as I stop at a stop sign.
I look down as it has a route planned out for me.

It's about 29 minutes long, so I turn on the the radio and pop a Lady Gaga CD in before taking off again.

Grabbing the wheel hard, I try to steer but whatever is on the road is making it hard too.

"I hate this weather!!" I scream so loudly that i couldn't hear my music.

"Merge onto I-79 to Pittsburgh,"
I look in the other lanes as I merge onto the highway.

Not too much traffic is out on these streets for being 8 in the morning.

Gribbing my steering wheel harder, my phone begins to ring.

"Answer," I say as the music goes down and the phone comes home.

"Hey Ann, it's Sean,"
That voice comes back into my brain.

"Hi,"
Is all I could say, shocking that he had call me.

"Annabelle did you read that text?"

"Yes I did, congratsulations,"
I really wasnt in the mood to talk to him and focus on theses snowy roads.

"Thank you, I know you hate me right now,"

"Sean, I didn't want children and you did. I'm happy for you,"

"Well thank you, I want you here for the birth of the child. Jess wants you here as well,"

Jessica was my old friend, who I am not friends with anymore cause she started dating my ex. Friends don't date their friends ex boyfriends.

"Sean, I need to focus on driving right now,"

"Aren't you on hands free?"

"Yes but I'm up in Pittsburgh right now and these snow shit is on the road,"

"Anna I'm sorry if I pissed you off,"

"Sean, Im not coming down for the birth of your child, that needs to just be you and Jess. I'm not in your life anymore,"

"I wish you was, I wish it was us having a baby,"
Did he just say that.

"You knew I didn't want to have any children when we dated. So thats why you moved with Jess, to have a baby?"

"Yes to be honest, I don't love her,"
Can't believe what I'm hearing.

I grip the wheel as I merge onto I-376.

"Sean I gotta go, don't call me again,"

"Don't go, Annabelle come back down to Georgia so we can raise this child together,"

"No I'm not coming back down, I have no family down there no longer. Tell Jess to have a fun life with you,"

"Damnit Anna, I will come up there and get you myself,"

"Don't try it, you don't know where I am or anything, you.."

I start to lose control of my car as I try to use the brakes to stop but it was worse.
Turning the wheel I glade into the on coming traffic lanes as I turn to my right to see this car just ram my car.

The car starts to flip, as I close my eyes tight and cross my arms over my chest.


His POV

Placing my brakes on I watch as this car in front of my started to flip and flip until it came to rest on its top.

Quickly unbuckling, I rush out of my car and race over to the purple car that is on it's side.
I get on my belly as I see a woman in there.

"Ma'am can you hear me?" I ask
No answer.

I lift up as I see other people running over to me.

"We called 911 they are on the way, they want to talk to you," A lady says as I grab the phone from her hands.

"Hello," I say.

"How is the person in the car?" she asks.

"It's a female and she isn't responding to me," I say.

"Alright, besides that is there any gas leaking from the car?"
I get up and walk over to the other side and there is a pool of gas laying on the road, melting the ice.

"Yes ma'am there is, how far are they away?"

"15 minutes, I know I shouldn't be telling you this but get her out of the car and away from it. The car might burst at any moment. A parmedic just told me to get her out,"

"Can I give the phone back?"

"Yes sir,"
I walk over to the lady who gave me her phone.

"Thank you," I say as I hand her the phone back then grabbed onto the driver side door.

With all my might I pulled the dented and battered door opened and got to the lady.

She is bleeding from her head and might be somewhere else.
I grabbed the seatbelt as I un hooked it carefully so she didn't crash into the top of her car.

Placing her down, I flip her over where she is on her back and picked her up into my arms.

I started walking for my car as I hear this explosion behind me as it blows me almost over.

Turning around, the car is on fire and the flames are big.
I contuine walking as I place her in the grass on the side of the road where no snow got to it yet.

I didn't know what to do as I just look at her as she is bleeding a lot on her head.

"Sir, sir she wants you," The lady before says running over with her cell phone as she hands it to me.

"Hello, she is out of the car and there is a fire," I say.

"I know sir, how is she?" She asks as I look down at her.
She is breathing on her own but in bad shape.

"Shes breathing under her own power but is in bad shape,"

"Alright, just stay with her until they arrive,"
I then hear the sirens.

"Thank you ma'am," I say.

"your welcome sir,"
I hang up as I hand the lady back her phone as I see a parmedic running over to my side.

"Please move sir," They says as I stand up and move over to the side.
I just look down at her as they prep her for the amblunce ride over to Mercy probably.

"Do you know her name sir?" A parmedic asks me.

"No sir I do not," I say as I watch them lift her up and some feel from it.
I walk over and pick it up walking back over to the medic.

Opening, I see her driver's licnese.

Annabelle Watson
797 Luke Smith Rd.
Macon, GA 31211

"Her name is Annabelle Watson," I say as I close the wallet and hand it to him.

"Thank you sir,"
I watch as he walks back over to the amblunce and turns around with the sirens blowing to Pittsburgh.

Sighing, I turn around and walk back over to my car.
I open the door, grabbing my phone and wallet before getting back out.

Walking to the front of my car, it was gone.

I take my phone and dial a number that I knew by heart.

"Hey, can you come get me?" I ask.

"Why?"

"I got into an accident and the front it totaled,"

"Ouch how did that happen?"

"A car lost control and went over the barrier right in front of me. I couldn't dodge it, so the front is gone but the car that lost control, it's gone in flames,"
I watch as the fire department places water on it as it goes off.

"Damn man, sire I can pick you up? Where you at?"

"I'll meet you by the enterence to Fort Pitt,"

"alright,"
I hang up my phone as I turn around and head for the Fort Pitt tunnel which it isn't far from me.

Chapter 1

Looking out the window all I see is this white stuff outside the car as it contuines to fall down onto the car.

"Why did we have to move? What is this stuff?" I ask as I look out the front windshield.

"Anna, we had to movie because of my job, remember I got promoted to CEO of the North office. The north office is in Pittsburgh, which we are coming into," Dad says as we go inside of a tunnel.

"I'm gonna hate it here," I say as the light and snow came back to show a big city but not bigger then Atlanta.

"This is beauiful, so are we going to the office first?" Mom asks.

"Yeah, My boss from Atlanta told me to check in once I made it here,"Dad says as I look around.
I hate this snow.

My life before I moved as awesome. I competed in pageants, had the best friends a girl could ask for, and the heat. This place it gonna be too cold for me.

"You two stay here," Dad says as he was parked besides one of the big buildings and ran in.

"When are we going to the new house?" I ask.

"After dad finished, we have to move in once we get there," Mom says.
I knew this because we are in a big Ryder truck and our two cars are behind us.

I sit back in my seat as I text my best friend Ally Cat.

Me: This City sucks, I miss Macon and WR.

Ally Cat: We miss you too, whats wrong with the city?

Me: It's snowing up here and its cold.

Ally Cat: That sucks, I'm sorry but hey atleast your still gonna be spoiled.

Me: I'm not spoiled, my parents just love me.

Ally Cat: I know, well we will skype tonight, I have a few girls coming over tonight.

Me: Alright I'll be on.
I just keep on my phone until my dad gets back into the car.

"Ready to head to our new home?" Dad asks.

"Yes finally," I say as my dad turns around as we go back the same way we came.

"You couldn't have dropped us off?" I ask, kinda mad.

"Anna, if you keep us this attitude you have we are going to go around. Your 24 years old act like it,"
I never had been talked to like that before.

I lay down and curl into a ball, crying without them knowing.

I felt the truck stop as I feel a hand on my leg.

"Annie, it's alright. Your dad is just too stressed out, with moving out then with a new job," Mom says as I sit up and wipe my tears off my my face.

"Thanks mom,"
I wrap my arms around her as I hop out of the car.

Looking around, we live in a community that is very close to where we used to live at.

"Annie come on, let's go check out the house while the workers and dad get everything out," Mom shouts as I turn around running into the house.

When walking into the house, we are in this huge kitchen.

"Wow mom, did you and dad pick this out?" I ask as I walk around the kicthen/ dining room.

"Yep, we needed a bigger kicthen from Georgia. Go pick out what room you want," Mom says.

"All the rooms upstairs?"

"Yep, down here is the kicthen/dining room, living room, TV room and dad's den,"
I rush from the kicthen as I find the stairs right near the front door.

Walking up them, they sprialed around as I hit the top of them and walk from room to room.

"I'm taking this one," I say as I walk into it.
This is the biggest room in the house, has a walk in closet and a bathroom connected.

"Mom!" I yell.

"I'm coming Annie," she says as I walk around this big room, that as two doors to get in instead of one.

"What is it?

"I want this room," I say, proudly.

"Alright, that is fine sweetie, me and dad are going to have the room down the hall, the one with two big windows,"

"I liked that room, sure dad is ok with me having this room?"

"Yeah, let's go back downstairs and tell them were to put everything,"
I follow my mom back downstairs into the kicthen as the men and dad was coming in.

We directed were everything needs to go as dad and the men listened.

"Are you all most done Billy?" Mom asks as she starts putting up the kicthen supplies.

"Yea, the only stuff that is left is out bedroom set," Dad says.

"Oh good,"
I watch as Dad goes walking back out as the two men want back in with their matteress and box set, while dad came in with the railings.

"Annie, go unpack your room sweetie," Mom says.

"Ok," I say as I follow the men and my dad up the stairs.
I turn right as they turn left down the other side of the house.

Walking into my double door room ,I see my massive queen bed is set up on the wall, with the huge window behind it.
My dresser is on the other side of my room as I start unpacking box after box of my things and my clothes

Once I unpack everything from all of the boxes and get things were I want them to be, I head back downstairs.

The foriter is decorated as I walk to my right as I walk straight into the living room.
Mom has done alot as I head for the TV, were I see my parents sitting down on the couch.

"Got everything unpacked?" Mom asks as I take a seat on the recliner.

"Yep, I'm straving. do we have anything to eat?" I ask.

"Well we just ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut. We got you a small thin crust with vegs on it," Dad says.

"Thank you, dad I'm sorry about earlier,"

"No I'm sorry Anna, I was just too stressed out with everything,"
I smiled just as the doorbell rang.

"I got it," Mom says as she starts to get up.

"Sit down Sara, I got it," Dad says as he gets up and heads for the door.

"Hey mom, can I tomorrow go riding around in the car?" I ask.
I had my bright purple Ford Mustang sitting outside wanting to get moving.

"Sure just makes sure you use the GPS," Mom says as dad walks back in.

"I will," I say as dad takes off the small box and hands it to me.

"Here princess, this one is yours," Dad says as he hands me my pizza.

"Thank you dad," I say as I open it and dig right into it.

Within 5 minutes of opening the box, I finish the pizza off.

"Damn you were hungry," Dad says.

"Yes I was, so what are we going to do now?" I ask.

"Let's play and old fashion board game," Dad says.

"I'm in," I say as my phone starts to vibrate.
I completely forgot all about Ally and my friends.

"I'll take a rain check," I say as I storm off upstairs to my room.

Once in there I lay on my bed and call my friend via on Skype.

"I was starting to wonder were you have gone too. The girls couldn't make it for our girls night in but that's ok. You still got me," Ally says.

"Well I just finished eating so that's why. Whats up?" I ask.

"Not much just sitting here with Oliver, Kassie, and Jules,"

Those were her cats.

"You and your cats. I wish I was home cause I would be over with you right now,"

"I know anyways shoe me your room,"

"I got the biggest room,"

I get up and show her around my room with the camera on my phone/

"A walk in closet? Your lucky. You need some paint, white is out,"

"I love my room and yes I need some pink and purple paint. Oh you competeing tomorrow?"

"No but I'm going. I'll send some pics to you,"

"Good, I think it's so rude for my parents to take me away from something I loved so much,"

"I know girl, hey I gotta go, Jared is outside waiting for me,"

"Alright, Talk later,"
I hang up on Skype as I get a text from a few friends.

I reply to all of them as I walk into the bathroom to get all my make up off. Then I brush my teeth and my hair.

After completing that, I go into my room and pick out on of my nightgowns to wear.
Picking out my pink one, I change from my street clothes to that nightgown.

Sighing I turn off the light and get into my bed.

I turn my phone back on, I seen a text from someone I didn't want to see a text from....Sean my ex-boyfriend.
