She could only hear Alice screaming ‘oh my god’ and calling out her name, repeatedly. She could sense that Alice was rummaging in her bag to get her phone out. People started getting out of their cars. Shane snapped out from her daze. She opened the door and pushed it open as hard and fast as she could. She walked through the cars and the people that are walking to the accident spot. Shane got closer to the wrecked cars. She looked down on the road and looked at the shattered window glasses.

“No…” Shane said to her self.

“No… no, no, no, no” Shane repeatedly said to her self.

She pushed through the people that was surrounding Carmen’s car. One man managed to get Carmen out. Shane got to her knees on the ground; she looked at Carmen with her eyes shut. She could hear people asking who she is. Another kind man manages to open the other side of the Mercedes – Benz door and cut off Lily’s seatbelt with his Swiss army knife. The man brought the young girl where Carmen is lying and where Shane is kneeled down. Shane looked at both of the unconscious girls that she would anything for even trading her life for them. Shane took Carmen head into her lap and Lily’ to her other side. She shut her eyes. The pain she was feeling was unimaginable.

“Some… some-somebody calls 911…” Shane said to her self. No one could hear her. She looked at Carmen; blood is pouring down her nose and ears. Cuts and grazes on her face. She looked at Lily blood running from her nose. A deep cut at the side of her forehead. 

She saw a sharp long piece of glass sticking out of Lily’s neck.

“Some… somebody please call 911…” Shane said a little louder. Shane looked up to see people surrounding her. She feels a hand on her shoulder and looked at her right and it was Alice, kneeling down beside her.

“Call, call 911…” Shane said to her, her face panicked. Shane looked at Alice who couldn’t control her tears.

“Somebody call the fucking ambulance!!!” Shane yelled out.

“Honey, honey… honey, they’re on their way… they are on their way… see, you can hear them.. They are coming baby…” Alice said. The sirens of the ambulance are getting louder.

“No… no Alice, no, no, no…” Shane shakes her head left to right, not wanting to believe this. “No…No!!!” Shane screamed. “Lil… baby, hold on okay… Lily, you hear me right?? You hear me right baby??… Baby c’mon… please wake up… baby please…” Shane begged to her daughter, her body is shaking while whispering to Lily’s ear…holding her body with her left arm. “Carmen… Carmen, hold on okay… help is coming hon… you, you, you hold on okay… don’t you leave me now…” Shane said shaking Carmen’s body with her right arm. “Carm, Carmen honey… you better be okay Carm!! Do you hear me??! Don’t you fucking dare leave me Carmen… Lily needs you C… Lily needs you!” Shane said to her ex – wife.

She could feel the gentle pull from behind, she looked at her back and see several men and women in white uniform, polices everywhere controlling the crowds. She could hear the paramedic talking to her but she couldn’t figure it out what it was. She sees Alice coming towards her, holding her, hugging her. The seconds stopped, there was no minutes and the hours seemed to disappear.
