Chapter One
Chance
‘Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple,
Sometimes goodbye’s the only way.’
– Shadow of the Day, Linkin Park.
I pressed down harder on the pedal of my car; speeding forward much faster than what was legal.
I flew down the dark road; trees blurred past me as I drove through the night. The street wound its way through town in a zigzagged line; reminding me of a snake.
As I drove around a sharp curve, I felt a shudder, one from beneath my feet. Concerned, I pressed down on the brakes.
They didn’t work.
Another curve. The car sped up.
And spiralled out of control.
Just like my life had done in the past few years.
And then I slammed into a thick oak tree, the sound of breaking glass and the screaming metal echoed into the empty air while my heart pounded erratically.
The last thing I remember was the feeling of being jolted forward before excruciating pain resounded through all of my body as my car finally stopped moving, and the sound of my car’s horn blared loudly in the night.
And then everything went black.
