"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean what I said earlier. I'm driving now to your place, I love you," I read the message one more time before I pressed the send button. I tossed the phone on the passenger's seat and turned on the radio. Feeling a little thirsty my left hand searched for a can of beer beside my phone. One hand on the wheel while the other held a can; my mind being filled up with random thoughts of us breaking up. I finished my beer with three huge gulps and tossed it aside. My eyelids felt like cement blocks are tied to them. I gave the clock at the dashboard one quick glance, it says 2:00a.m.
I opened my eyes and was surprised to see the world upside down.
"Is someone still there?!"
"Hey! Hey! I can see someone!"
"What?! Hey someone's still inside!"
"Why are they shouting? What's happening?" These thoughts flood my mind along with the blinding pain I felt on my leg. "Ugh, wha- wha's wrong?" I mumbled words I myself can't understand. A broken Nokia phone lay on the ground beside the sea of broken glass. A strong smell of gasoline filled the air, making my eyes tear. Things started to happen fast--people shouting, the smell of gas growing stronger, the feeling of pain slowly going away along with the feeling in my right leg, and then the spark.
I saw a large pillar of black smoke rising from the wreckage of a crash. Fire licked the sky surrounded by a sea of faces. Police said the guy driving the Honda fell asleep that resulted in the crash; the guy was burned bad and only dental records can help identify who he is. I stood amidst the chaos, no one seemed to notice I was there. A shadowy figure tapped my shoulder and beckoned me to come. I don't know him, but something tells me that I should follow. I took one last look at the mess before turning my back.
