Right now I'm at a party hanging out with Jeff and Zach when we see Clay leaving. "Clay" Jeff and I shout 

"Hey guys," He says and we walk over 

"You leaving?" Jeff asks 

"Yeah I am," He says 

"Looked like shit was happening for you in there,"  Jeff says 

"Did it?" 

"Dind't it?" 

"I don't know man... I don't even know... anything" 

"That's why you got me, man. I know Whatever happened in there... just give her a minute. Then go back inside and just find her." 

"I'm going home," Clay says 

"No, Clay," I say 

"Just hang with us for a while, man. We're going on a beer run soon. Come with us."  He says wrapping an arm around me. 

"You're driving?" Clay asks 

"Co-cola my friend. Two beers, two hours ago. I'm good." He says 

"Thanks, Jeff but I'm good. I'm gonna take a long walk home and consider the wreckage that is my life." He says 

"You're a funny dude, Clay" 

"So I've been told. See you guys."  He says and walks away 

"Let's go make out," I say to Jeff then we go 

After a few minutes, we get in Jeff's car "My aunt's gonna kill me" I say to Jeff and he looks at me 

"Clay came home and he was drunk and they were mad," I say then we look at each other for a moment, and then something hits us and I let out a scream and everything goes black. 

"Sophie, Sophie!" Clay shouts trying to open the door. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My eyes flutter open as I'm met with a bright light I let out a groan my head is killing me. I open my eyes and I see Clay sitting in a hospital chair and My aunt half asleep next to me. 

"Lainie," I say with my raspy voice 

She wakes up and looks at me with tears in her eyes "Thank God" She cries

"What happened?" I asked and Clay was now up

"Honey there was a car accident," She says 

"Where's Jeff is he okay?" I ask

"Honey Jeff didn't make it," She says 

"No, no," I say sobbing now and she wraps her arms around me as I sob.
