“Hey, you okay?”
Kelsey looked up at her best friend Veronica who came check on her.
“Did that guy hurt you?” she asked. Kelsey shook her head. “No, he tried, but I could stop him”
“You want to get back inside?” Veronica asked.
“No, actually I’d like to go home” Kelsey said.
“Okay, you want me to give you a ride?” Veronica suggested.
“No, thank you, Ronnie” Kelsey said. “I only had a little bit of alcohol and I want you to have fun”
“You sure?” Veronica checked.
“Yes” Kelsey insisted. “Go back inside, have fun, get wasted”
“Call me when you’re home” Veronica said.
“Promise” Kelsey said. Veronica gave her a hug and then went back inside. Kelsey headed to the parking lot and conjured her keys. She got in the car and drove away. She turned on the radio, but there was only crap music and so she looked in her glove box and searched through the CD’s. Her attention left the road for five seconds, but it was enough to miss the red light…
She opened her eyes. Her head bounced and she touched it, feeling something wet. She looked at her fingers and saw the blood. She looked up and saw the cracks in the windshield. She unfastened her belt and stumbled out of the car. She looked around confused until she saw a car upside down. There was no one else but her, so she staggered to the car. She ducked and looked inside the car. The man was unconscious and blood came streaming out his neck.
“Shit” Kelsey cursed anxious. She got up and stroke her hair. “Fuck!”
The car caught fire and Kelsey lost her balance. She quickly crawled backwards and got up again. She ran to her car and drove away.
