if I let you go (4)
chapter seven
Shane ran out the stage straight after the last song and tried to find Ronan. "Ronan, do you have the car keys?" Shane asked urgently.
"Where are you going? We're leaving Singapore in two hours!" Ronan asked.
"Just pass me the keys. Please." Shane said through clenched teeth. "Hurry!" he shouted.
Ronan quickly took the keys out. Shane grabbed it and flew to the car park to catch up with Julie. No way he's going to let her go now.
Shane tried to see through the windscreen but the rain was too heavy. He could see Julie's car one car in front of his. He took out his cell phone and punched in Julie's number. The phone rang and Julie picked it up at the other end.
"Hi Julie. I'm Shane. Can you stop your car? I'm just a car behind you." But instead of stopping, Julie's car shot forward. Shane tried to follow but the car in front of him was too slow. He decided to change lane. But he didn't realised that a speeding truck was on that lane and when Shane changed into that lane, the truck banged onto Shane's car and he was thrown forward. His head hit the steering wheel and everything went black.
Julie's heart jumped when she heard a loud 'bang' behind her. She stopped her car and turned back. She gasped when she saw Shane's car and he was lying on the steering wheel. She scrambled out of her car and ran towards him.
"Shane. Wake up Shane!" She shouted. She didn't dare to touch him in case she hurt him. "Shane…wake up!" she cried. Her heart pounded hard. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?! CALL THE AMBULANCE!" Julie screamed at the crowd of passerby that had gathered. "Please don't die. Please…" she wept. It would be her fault if he dies. Everyone's going to blame her.
