After an accident kills
half her family, Dylan uses drugs to drown her feelings. When she falls for Matt, she must decide if she’s willing to quit using heroin and take a chance
on love.
Red and blue lights dance off the roof of my mother’s
car.
I groan and lean back against the seat. The movement makes my head spin and my
stomach rolls. The pain is unbearable. Like thousands of ice picks hammering into my
temple at once.
Pushing against the steering wheel, I try to shift away
from the pain. My hand slips and my
elbow slams into something hard. I grunt
and cradle my arm against my chest.
Blood covers my hand. It’s
smeared across my shirt and the soaked fabric clings to my skin. It’s sticky and uncomfortable.
It’s dark. I don’t
understand why I’m in the car. I can’t
even pin down my last memory. It feels
like days ago that I was at Logan’s house.
But it was just this afternoon, right?
Maybe?
I squint to make out the objects past the cracks in the windshield. A tree has sprouted through the hood of the
car, its branches splayed across the glass.
