Chapter 3: The Truth

Chapter 3: The Truth

Marie looked through her hair, she had no clue what just happened, but she knew it wasn’t good, it was light out and she didn’t know how long she had been out. She slowly got up, her whole body hurt after getting thrown into the rocks.

She was fully standing when she saw her own car in front of her, she looked to the side and saw Charlie, his jaw was only showing and blood had seeped down the side of the car. Marie covered her mouth, she knew he had died, but not to what extent. She then saw Michael hunched over in the driver’s seat. She ran over to Mike hoping he was still alive. She opened the door and saw his blood in a pool by the gas and brake pedals.

“Mike? No..........” Marie fell to the ground. She wanted to get out of there, but in her heart she knew someone had to still be alive.

She looked at the jeep, owned by Z, or what was left of it. You tell it used to be a car, but the whole thing was strewn across the road, she noticed the blood all over the road and then saw the 4 charred bodies around, or the severed parts of them.

She already knew who it was, she didn’t need to look down the cliff on the other side of the road, but something pulled her to it. She leaned over the guardrail that hadn’t fallen off and she turned and threw up, she saw Tara’s body, actually not even her body. Just parts, Marie couldn’t tell what part what which.

She turned and starting walking down the road, the way they came, remembering the stuff that had happened here only last night. She finally understood what the song “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” finally meant, or that’s how she interpreted it. A police car sped by her and she didn’t even pick her head up, she was walking in a dream like haze and didn’t even know where she was. The police car reversed and stopped next her.

“Hello? Ma’am? Are you alright?” The police officer said as he got out of his car, he stopped for a moment and then continued toward her. He grabbed her arm and she finally got out of her trance, she noticed the blank face on the officer and she didn’t feel right. He tightened his grip on her arm and starting dragging her toward his car.

“STOP!!! What are you doing! Get off of me!” Marie screamed as she tore at the police officer’s arm. He threw her in the back seat and shut the door. The officer got into the car and starting driving, Marie started to kick out the safety barrier it started to detach; she then stuck her hand through the barrier. Rage blinded her, since she didn’t feel it cutting into her arms. She grabbed his head and slammed it repeatedly into the barrier that had come off. Then she heard a familiar sound as her field of vision started to twist and turn:

“I told you that the cable is due at the end of the month! It’s the 25th!” Marie breathed heavily as she saw a hand coming toward her face.
