Aftermath
Revised off of Melinda's story
1/1
Caroline had had a few drinks earlier, but that made no difference to
her as she got in her car. She started thinking about Charlie.
"Serves him right, after the way he treated me,"she huffed.
She was lost in her thoughts, and then, she saw a
couple with a baby carriage crossing the street, she tried to avoid
them, but it was too late. She heard a thump and realized that she
had hit someone.
Caroline was stopped in the middle of street. Nobody saw that it was
her that had cause the accident, and if they did she would surely be
deported.
"Gina!" Mike yelled as he ran over to her to see if she was alright.
He looked at her so helplessly.
On the way home from the movies, Ginger and Linda were talking about
anything that came to mind. "So, are you and Jeff ever<italic<<
going to move out of that attic?!" Linda said teasingly. "Oh come
on Linda! Besides, we got married so quickly that I didn't-" Ginger
started saying and Linda gave her a strange look. "Well...you know
what I mean!" Ginger said laughing. "Let's see what's on the
radio." Ginger said while reaching for the dial. "Oh Ginger
sometimes it sticks let me do it for you." Linda looked down for a
moment to find a good station when she heard Ginger yell, "Oh my word
Linda stop!" It was too late, Linda hit the brakes as hard as she
could and hit the back of Carolines car. Impatiently Linda hopped
out of the car to see what had caused this. She ran up and saw Gina
laying on the ground.
In the car Caroline thought to herself about getting deported and she
couldn't let that happen. She had fought too hard to stay
in this bloody country, and she was not about to return to England.
She pulled herself together, looked around, and started messing with
her car. It started after a moment of difficulty, and Caroline drove
off.
"OH my gosh. Mike..is she ok?" Mike looked up with tears in his eyes
and said, "Linda! Go get help!" She ran back to her car got in and
said, "Ginger, we have got to get help. Gina is hurt..." Linda
waited for an answer, but got none. She looked over at Ginger is
horror. She was unconicous and had blood running down her face. The
car had a crack in the front mirror. "Oh my gosh.." Linda immediatly
tried to turn the car on, but it wouldn't work. SOmething must have
happened when she hit Carolines car. Luckily, Bransteatters was
close by. Linda ran in and called for help, than ran back out and
stopped every car she could find for more help. "Fred! Go and get
my brother, Jeff and Charlie. There has been an accident!" Fred, a
friend of Charlie's from the factory, didn't say anything and drove
away.
"Charlie, you'd better come quick!
There's been a terrible accident by the movie theater! I don't know
what happened but I think something happened involving two dames and
one of them was in a family way." yelled Fred,
as he burst into the Roadhouse.
"Put the drinks on my tab," Charlie told Jeff as he raced torwards
the door.
"Was anyone else hurt?", Jeff asked.
"I don't know, Linda just told me to get you two and for you to get
down there as fast as you can." Jeff's eyes grew wide. Linda had
called him about using the car to
take Ginger to the movies. He didn't like the sound of this.
Jeff didn't even take his apron off as he followed Charlie's trail.
