A wisp of wind blew across Kelsey’s face as she was driving. She lifted her hand to block her face from the icy wind. The chilled air pierced her warm flesh as it hit her cheek. She looked around to find a logical explanation. Her windows were closed, and her air was off in the car. It was the middle of the summer, so how could this be? She looked to the side of her to check if her best friend, April had made the cool breeze while reaching for something or moving. But she was fast asleep. There was no explanation, what so ever. Kelsey tugged on the edge of April’s shirt. Slowly, April yawned and opened her eyes.
“What do you want?” she said stretching her arms as far as they would go.
“Did you feel a breeze?” she said with a shaky voice.
“No. What are you talking about Kels. Are you ok?”
“I have to tell you something.”
“What is it?”
“Well…” Kelsey’s head whipped back to the road, but by the time her foot hit the break their car slid across the road. The car flipped on its side and Kelsey could hear the noise of the metal scraping against the cement. It was a red light they were running through, with all of the traffic coming towards them. April looked at her with a look she had never seen before. It was a look of pure terror. They held their gaze until they heard a loud honk. It was a huge semi truck headed towards them. It all happened so fast. Kelsey tried to step on the breaks as fast as she could but they didn’t work. The semi truck hit the side of the car where April was sitting. There was a crunch and Kelsey saw splotches of blood spurting from Aprils side. She assumed the crunching noise she heard was the sound of April’s bones being crushed by the huge amount of weight the truck carried. Everything went black. When Kelsey woke up in the hospital all she could think of was that she never got to tell her best friend one of the most important things in her life… to be continued
