Thirty one: The Unexpected Happening

TravisThe hum of the engine was the only thing keeping the silence from turning into a full-blown interrogation.I kept my hands locked on the steering wheel, my knuckles tight.I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, and maybe knock Carlos to sleep too.I keep getting this weird feeling and I don't like it.Carlos sat in the passenger’s seat, leaning back, his eyes half-closed, looking for all the world like a man who had just begun to see the world for what it truly is.“So…what is my uncle like?” He finally decided to break the lasting silence.How I’d have loved to maintain that moment of silence.“He’s good.” My voice sounded thin to my own ears. I knew I was definitely lying. I don't know anything about his uncle.“You don't have to lie to me, I know who Dayton is.” He sounded boastful.“You didn't have to ask if you knew him so well.”Carlos grunted in response.“Wait a sec, I haven't even seen what you look like?” He started while scrolling through his phone. “My unc

Thirty two: Is He Dead?

Travis The last thing I remembered was Carlos's hands.They were still around me, still fighting to keep me from breaking free, and I was still fighting back with everything I had. My lungs burned. My throat felt like it was closing up. I couldn't think clearly anymore.And then, the sound of a crash appeared. The sound that ripped through everything.Metal screamed and glass exploded.The car lurched forward so violently that my body was thrown against the seat. My face was buried in the safety pillow, but not before I got hit on my head by something. And for a moment, there was nothing.No sound. No pain. Nothing.Then my consciousness came back like merging pieces of a broken glass.First came the ringing in my ears.Then the taste of blood.Then the pain.God!The pain was quite unbearable.A sharp throbbing sensation that exploded through my skull. My chest felt as though someone had dropped a concrete block on it. My ribs screamed every time I tried to breathe, and my neck refu

Thirty three: Emergency

Travis The car drove to a stop just behind the crashed vehicle.It was Mr. Alvarez's car—A black SUV.My heart stopped as his door flew open.I hid behind the tree and watched.He got out of the car, along with his bodyguard, while his driver sat still in the car.“Whose car is it?” He asked as he got closer to observe the damaged car.The bodyguard walked around to take a closer look. And that was when he saw the body that was good as lifeless on the floor.“Sir…” his bodyguard called his attention.I closed my eyes tight, knowing what the bodyguard was going to say.“What is it?” Mr. Alvarez asked, looking impatient.“It’s your son.”For a brief moment, relief was standing to come upon me that someone was here who could help Carlos.But that relief disappeared almost immediately when I saw the look on Mr. Alvarez's face.He wasn't simply worried.He looked terrified.He stepped toward the wrecked car, then stopped.His eyes widened.“No…”The word came out almost like a whisper.Hi

Thirty four: Staying Strong

Travis I fell out of Fester's trunk. I crawled my way into it when he wasn't looking.He stopped at the scene of the accident and went to take a look at the sight.While he was watching the damaged car, I knew that was my only chance to get out of here.I had no idea he drove into a hospital.—The wheels of the wheelchair squeaked against the hospital floor as the nurse pushed me down the hallway.Everything around me moved too quickly.Doctors hurried past with serious expressions. Nurses carried trays of medicine. Machines beeped from rooms on either side of the corridor.I could hear people talking, but their voices sounded distant, almost muffled.My head was still spinning.“Where are you taking me?” I asked.“To the emergency room,” the nurse answered. “We need to check your injuries.”“I don't need—”I stopped myself.The truth was, I didn't even know what I needed.My body was screaming at me to stop pretending I was fine.I looked down at my hands.They were trembling.The
