2 A very bad dream. (2/2)

”Sam, Sam please! Listen sweetheart” she closed her eyes for a second, trying to breath trough the hatred pilling on her throat ”We need to talk. Please. it's not what you're thinking!”

Oh-oh! She wanted to laugh, and punch a hole through his had. And laugh a bit more. On the back of her mind, Sam pondered whether she was finally becoming hysterical.

”I didn't understand, hun? You must think I'm really stupid to believe Avery sh*t you throw at me!”

”Of course not! Sam, I love you! All I did was...”

”If you really loved me, you would have helped me! Would have respected all my efforts to make a name for myself! My God David, I told you everything! I told how hard it was, how I was putting all my cards on that stupid formula!” she screamed, angry tears running down her cheeks as her eyes were completely blinded by rage ”And if you think, just for one second, that this pathetic attempt of apologizing will stop me from suing your a*s, so wake up! We'll see each other on court!”.

With another burst of anger, she punched the calling button and cursed herself for not turning her cellphone completely off before leaving her apartment. It was not like she was expecting an important call or anything. Amelia knew she would not pick up until before the test was over, and all her other contacts were just acquaintances she could go without.

Of course David would try to talk to her! After she cursed and threatened him with a law suit, Sam KNEW he would try to get on her good graces again. Why she even picked up the call was another mystery.

Maybe she was a bit of a masochist, who knows?

”Oh my head hurts” she mumbled to herself, closing her tired eyesfor a split second.

A split second that changed everything.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of car brakes and tires burning of the asphalt floor. her eyes opened wide and she tried to turn the wheel, but there was no time. She could she the petrified look on the young driver's face before her head bumped agains the steering wheel. Her ears seemed to burst with the deafening sound of the steel tearing itself apart while the vehicle flipped over and the glass exploded, sending shards of glass everywhere.

There was the smell of gasoline and the faint sound of screams that wouldn't stop. Pain engulfed her body as the lethargy crept nearer by the second. There was the feeling of the rain still falling somewhere far aways, and the burning sensation on her throat and limbs.

Her eyes closed, her body trembling with cold... And then, only the darkness was left.

With some misguided attempt at humor, her last though before everything went black was that, on this life, the last person to talk to her would be her treacherous ex-boyfriend.

The heavens had a terribly distorted sense of humor.

”At least someone will get out of this happy” she thought tiredly ”It seams I won't be suing him anymore”.

Oh my, this all simply had to be a dream.

A very bad dream!
