… My eyes, blurring, unable to focus, floating over the wreckage, two cars, one behind ours, in the middle of the intersection, Mel crouching over something, her body heaving, sobbing, a body.
Mine…
This feeling was like nothing i had ever felt before, i felt normal, yet with something missing. Obviously my body, yet something more than the physicality behind it.
I look onwards as the ambulances arrive, they approached slowly as if they had all the time in the world, assessing the situation at hand, three of the six approach my body, taking vitals, whilst the remaining two check on Mel and the man in the car beside us who had lost control.
Mel brushing them away, oblivious to the small cuts and gashes along her head and arms where the glass had shattered. Everything still moving slowly, from the rotation of the sirens to the leaves tumbling across the intersection passing in between the concerned and curious onlookers, once impatient upon getting home, the harsh reality of what could have been them, struck their hearts and minds.
Mel cursing the man who caused this accident, her unheard words brushing past his ears no longer absorbing sounds in his unconscious state. The pain on her eyes clearly showing, concern for me, concern for my safety and my future, guilt and shame glimmering briefly across her face only to be hidden by love and worry.
I noticed that the paramedics were quickening the pace of their CPR, odd I thought, CPR shouldn’t change in rate, then I noticed numerous thinks speeding up, the talk of the onlookers increasing in pace, i look to the breeze, it began moving at a normal pace, suddenly things started quickening, faster and faster, everything became a blur, a bright flash of light.
My eyes opened, blinking furiously at the lights of the ambulance that i was now being placed into. Mel right beside me, her eyes bloodshot, tears resting on her cheeks. She gave out a whimper of relief. Her arm stroking mine.
I was alive.

… Leaving in the car 10 minutes later, i looked out to the shops as they passed by, the street lights above flickering across my face as we raced by, i wondered, just wondered, where i was going, and where this would take me…
The radio, murmuring quietly, the soft tones of “Twenty Years” filling the car as we talked quietly, Mel talking about the old days informing me of her initial impressions, the memories created as well as the little things that made the difference to our relationship.
I sighed with content, this was the life, surprises on the way, the girl i had been longing for for a long time after me also. Despite not knowing where surprises lead, i secretly enjoyed them, more than i let on. As much as it annoyed me when Mel had that cheeky knowing grin spread across her whole face.
She slowed the car to a stop, me not paying attention to where we were going, i was still concentrating on her amazing face, her features highlighted in the passing streetlights.
She turned to look at me, realising i was staring, leaned over and kissed me deeply her smiling spreading to show her white, perfect teeth.
Sighing as the lights turned green she moved forward to continue the journey.
“You know, there are other things out there other than me” she joked, chuckling under her breath.
“Not as interesting as you Mel” I whispered.
Bang.
Time slowed down, the impact of the car behind us, spinning us out of control. Hair flying, my hands grasping thin air, reaching the arm rest and grabbing Mel’s leg. Spinning, more and more, looking to my right i see Mel’s eyes, filled with shock, horror and fear of the unknown. Looking to me for a brief second before everything went black, a second Bang To go with it.
My eyes, blurring, unable to focus, floating over the wreckage, two cars, one behind ours, in the middle of the intersection, Mel crouching over something, her body heaving, sobbing, a body.
Mine.
