May 2021
The sound of his favourite band fills the car speakers while he tells me about the night ahead of us.
The road seeming to disappear under the tires as we drive by; the houses we passed lit up with the decorations for the holiday soon approaching.
My stomach gurgling with the anticipation of the food set on the table back home.
Everything seeming to be blissful...

That bliss seems to end very quickly as we come to the last turn towards our destination,
The blue Subaru I grew to love now spinning as my body connects with every corner of the passenger seat.
My ears fill with silence continuing with a ring so piercing I lose focus on the world around me.
The impact against my face so intense there was black stained rings around my eyes for days.
His only words were "I'm so sorry..." as if it was his fault... the police said the opposite...

Crawling out the side door to escape the smoke like smell filling the inside of the car; hiding my head on the cold pavement to escape the sirens.
Shock filling my body...
Confusion running through my brain as people are yelling, police are talking...
Blue and red lights filling the cloudy air....
The end came silence when the truck pulled that Subaru I came to love away...
