Helena

WARNING: this story sucks

I don=t know why, but tonight seemed like a good night to go out. So I grabbed my purse, put on some comfy shoes and walked out the door. My feet led me to the church, I don=t know why, but I never questioned wherever I ended up, I like to think im here for a reason. I walked in and sat down at the back in a seat close to the door. One of the first things to catch my attention was the man standing up front beside the priest. He was handsome with a very intelligent look on his face. Then, as if reading my thoughts he turned and his eyes found mine seconds later. I kept staring out of shock before I put my head down in embarrassment. Out of my peripheral vision I could see that he was still looking at me. Knowing this I decided to apply some lip gloss a little provocatively to make myself more appealing. I wouldn=t mind going home with him though, I raised my head and saw he had one eyebrow raised questionably. I gave him a very affirming look, letting him know exactly what my intentions were, then nodded my head towards the door. He looked at me and nodded a tiny bit. As I got up to walk out the pastor was saying how this night couldn=t be possible if it wasn=t for the man beside him, his name was Dominic. It suited him.

I went outside with one last glance in his direction, and went outside to wait., I saw him come out as I was about to walk down an alley that headed in the direction of my apartment. I didn=t see if he was coming or not when I walked down the alley. I kept walking down the alley progressively slower, waiting for him to catch up. After a little while longer I heard a gunshot echoed behind me. I figured it was time to go home before the owner of the gun decided to come down this way. Dominic could wait.

I got home and quickly went to bed I didn=t realize how tired I was. I woke to the sound of a stressed alarm and realized I had slept in. I scrambled up and shut off the alarm, then threw on the clothes that were closest to me, and ran out the door. I had an important meeting that I was already late for. I ran out to my car and set out for my office building. As I sped down the two lane highway, I realized just how slow the car in front of me was going, if I was going to get to the meeting before it ended I had to pass this car. I turned on my signal lights and went into the next lane.

Everything happened so quickly, the first thing I noticed was the front end of a car, racing down the highway towards me. Then I went spinning off the road and was being thrown around in the front seat as I slid down the side of the road. Both cars were still screeching when I came into a sudden stop because of a big tree. Once I got my bearings I realized the other car had pinned me to the tree. The impact of both the collisions left me unable to move, and left me barely breathing. I tried to move my legs, but a piece of twisted metal had fixed itself into my right leg. The blood was starting to flow freely, I could even feel the warm feeling pouring down from my mouth. That=s when I realized how potent the smell of gasoline was inside the car. Until smoke starting to filter in, I hadn=t realized I was trapped inside of a car about to erupt in flames.


I started to screaming for help, looking frantically for the driver of the other vehicle.

AHelp me!@ I cried out ACan you hear me? Are you near me?@

Then I saw him staring wide eyed at me and the quickly developing flames. He had no intention of helping me. His face had that same intelligent look to it as doms. And before I knew it I was falling in love with the man, this man that refused to help me.

AIf you carry on this way...@ I started to whisper

AThings are better if I stay@ He shouted suddenly

AI cant help you, the fire is too out of control.@ he continued

Until then I hadn=t realized how warm it was. My skin was burning and could feel the flames licking at me. I continued to scream in pain as this man watched me die. He was shouting something to me. I didn=t know why but the only thing I could think to reply was AMy name is Helena!@
