The Beautiful and The Beast

The night was calming and quiet as the full moon shined down on us. Mother was listening to music on the radio while I was looking out the window with my headphones on. Mom wanted to have a girl's day out. So we went to the movies, a spa, and then we ate out.   

We were on our way back home when it happened...

A car suddenly slammed against my side. Causing the car to swerve brutally out of control. Mother tried to take back control. But the car eventually flips off of the ground, rolling twice before stopping upside down. 

Glass was shattering everywhere. The car had flipped over once before I passed out due to a concussion. The next thing I knew, I was waking up to an intense ringing in my ears while hanging upside down. 

My head was throbbing with pain. I tried to unbuckle myself but it was stuck. I turn my head towards mother. But she was already gone. 

"Mom. Mom!"

The driver door was wide open. But I didn't see or hear mother outside. After struggling, I finally broke free from my seat belt and fell to the ground. My body ached with every movement. Then I used the rest of my strength to pull myself out of the car. Crawling my way towards the opened door. 

And that's when I saw her. Mother's body was just laying in the middle of the road. I sat by her side, desperately trying to wake her up. But she wasn't responding. This can't be happening.

Soon, the ambulance came. The last thing I remember was staying by her side until the ambulance came, thinking about how everything changed from the moment our cars connected. But I feel like there was something else. Something I couldn't remember.
