Once in my car the tears really began to run down my face. I could hardly see

My phone vibrated letting me know a text was received.

I notice it was from Erica.

‘Babe, leaving work now. Want me to pick anything up for dinner?’

When I looked up I noticed someone crossing the street but it was too late. It looked like a penguin or something. I just hit something with my car. I couldn’t believe it. Could this day get any worse?

 I quickly stop the car to see if they were okay.

I ran as fast as I could just to come face to face with the most beautiful brunette I had ever seen. I wanted to touch her just to make sure she was real.

“Ma’am, are you okay? I asked.

The brunette stared at me with a look of panic.

“Yes, yes, I’m fine. I just need to get the hell out of here!”

She tries to stand but is still light headed so I help her up.

“Maybe I should call for an ambulance?” I didn’t know what else to do

I noticed the church across the street, with a rush of people running out.

Maybe they could help.

“No! Let’s just drive there. Come on”

I nod and guide her to the passenger’s side of my car.

Once she safely inside I run to the other side and speed of. As I was getting ready to turn and permanently remove the church from my rearview mirror I see a bride run out of the church. With a devastated look in her eyes.

Once the blond turned the street, I finally felt I could relax and really deal with how bad my head hurt. I could feel blood dripping from the side of my forehead.

“Do you have any napkins in the car?”

“I do, glove compartment.”

It was the first time I really looked at the blond. I could tell she had been crying. I guess this wasn’t the best day of her life either. She was beautiful. I felt like I knew her some how. I focused on the task at hand. Finding the napkins.
