Defyance of Death 2

The party much to my surprise went off without one single hitch. Half of the maybes managed to show up (including Ed who Jenny was staring at most the time- I don’t have the heart to remind her that he's already seeing somebody else) There were no uninvited guests either which was just the icing on the cake... pun not intended.

We walk out of the skating rink ( we being Jamin, Lizzy Ashley Jenny and I ). Heading out into the parking lot. E Nomine blasting out into the late night air despite my slight headache. I just ignore the throbbing pain in my head leaning against Jamin's shoulder as we walk on. Everyone had a major sugar rush from the combination of cake soda and jolt. As such we were doing what we always did when we were like this. Reenact our favorite moments of our favorite shows and movies.

"I hope I don’t bleed to death. That-WOULD SUCK!" me and Jenny recite about our millionth line from a personal favorite 13 ghosts, before everyone descend into laughter. We were all so sugar high that you could drop a pen on the floor and we'd all laugh if it bounced.

The only thing that brings us out of our fits of laugh are the sounds of screeching tires. Everyone blinks looking up seeing the truck speeding in. Something’s not right about it. Everything in this area's closed and there’s no residential area in this section. Its dark but as the truck passes under the light all I see are the tires. Red. All four of them splattered with red. Something told me it wasn’t paint.

We step back towards the door as the truck narrowly avoids flipping over after a sharp turn. Everyone's attention was locked on the rouge vehicle as it narrow avoided slamming into a post.

"25 MILES AN HOUR'S THE SPEED LIMIT YOU FUCKING MORON!" jenny yells out recalling a time someone sped past the before and Lizzy screamed out the same thing.

Even before the truck swept into a violent skidding stop, even before it swerved around facing us, even before the bright headlights clicked on seemingly staring us down, I knew that what Jenny had done was a bad move. I slowly try to back away but my feet refuse to move. the only motion my body allowed me was the tremble in my arms and a wide eyed stare of horror.

Hours?Miniutes?Seconds? I don’t know how long I was trapped in those terrible headlights. What was the nut case behind the wheel thinking? Why was he just sitting there like this? Were the others as terrified as myself? To many questions wandered through my mind for me to focus on trying to hide my fear.

In all honesty the questions and fear weren’t what I was actually paying attention to . There were actually only two things I was paying any focus on. Jamin's hand around mine trying to stop the involuntary tremble. This however was still not what I was consciously aware of. No what I was looking at was horrifying to me. Those tires. Those tires that looked blood splattered.

The vehicle actually began to back away. Everyone let out a sigh of relief none more then myself.

"Holly shit" Lizzy laughed nervously breaking the silence of the tension filled air.

I see the group turning to go back inside and I go to follow them when something suddenly stops me. I turn back around just as I hear those tires make a familiar screech.

"GO!" I scream wide eyed. The lunatic driver barreling straight towards us. The back of the truck swerving around slipping back and fourth out of control. I try to run one way but me and Jamin's hands are still absently tougher both of us slipping to the ground.

I look up at the mad vehicle as the back begins turning sideways and the whole truck turns over onto its side. Sparks flew up off the ground and I had to look away. When I looked up the next thing I saw caused my heart to stop. It was heading straight at-

"JAMIN!"
