Part: 1

Viaje POV:

Out of breath, I scanned my surroundings. Pleased by what I saw, I briefly glanced down at my watch. With widened eyes, my feet began to move before my brain could even process. Swiveling around, I took off down the street, not caring about the burning sensation of something searing my chest.

Zinnia POV:

“I love you too.” I said with a smile and hung up the phone. Staring at the time, I turned towards my friend “Let’s hurry up before the movie starts!” I said anxiously. She gave a distracted response as she watched a video on her phone. Looking over at the sign, I tapped my foot impatiently and bore holes into it until it could give me what I wanted. When it finally turned white with a person walking, I smirked in satisfaction and dashed off of the sidewalk.

“Zinnia!” She whined “You’re too impatient!”

I turned around and chuckled at her, noticing that I had moved quite the distance away from everyone. “It’s not my fault you’re so slow!” I stuck out my tongue. She shook her head and smiled, but it quickly dropped. The color from her face drained and twisted into a look of horror.

Her brown eyes grew wide as she peered off towards the side. My body understood quicker than my brain could process, my blood turned cold and my heart sank like the titanic down to my toes. As if a switch had been turned on, the world slowed to a crawl and my friends head swiveled back into my direction just as slow. I watched her mouth move, spit flying and yet all I could hear, was the sound of tires screeching across the pavement. With no time to react, I closed my eyes and covered my stomach, bracing myself for impact.
