Ch. 8 Take Me There

Ch. 8 Take Me There

A Chapter by theladygraceling

I look up and bring myself
to look out the windshield.

I have a memory
that's been haunting me
for three weeks.

A memory that starts with me
looking out of a windshield,
that keeps me from sitting in the driver's seat,
that keeps me awake at night,
that appears in my nightmares when I do sleep,
that makes me wish I could just
close my eyes and float
a
w
a
y.

From out of nowhere
I hear screeching tires.
I see bright headlights.
I feel breaking glass on my face.

I almost scream.

But I look over
and it's Will in the car next to me.
Not Charlotte.

So I swallow it,
where it lies,
stuck in my throat,
choking me.

It hurts.
It hurts a lot.

But at least I'm feeling something.
