~CHAPTER 2~
Sarah awoke in a lot of pain in a white room that she didn't recognize.
"Frank! She's awake!" she heard her mother say. She tried to turn her head in the direction of her voice but she couldn't.
"Oh Sarah," said her father clasping her hand tightly. She could feel the tears falling from his eyes onto her hand.
"Natalie," Sarah croaked out. She had never seen her parents cry before but they were crying now.
"Natalie died instantly upon impact with the truck. She didn't feel any pain," said her mother. Sarah had hoped that it had been some horrible dream but she knew from the empty feeling inside of her that her twin was gone. She decided not to tell her parents that Natalie had felt pain, that she had screamed when the truck hit them. She would carry that secret with her to the grave.
"Honey, Chuck wasn't himself when he was driving," said her father brokenly.
"Is he OK?" asked Sarah, even though she knew what the answer would be.
"He was high. Apparently he got high alot." Her father's hands clenched into fists. "We don't know what we were thinking letting you go out with him. We trusted him."
"Chuck was never high a day in his life!" protested Sarah, even though it explained a lot of things about his attitude and behavior that she had never wanted explained. "It was his cousin's fault! He was strange! The whole thing was his fault! He must have given Chuck drugs!" she said, desperate to blame it on somebody other than Chuck whom she had been sure that she had loved.
"Several kids came forward from your school after Chuck's body had been tested for drugs. They said that he hid it from you but that he was usually high. Chuck's cousin was tested for grugs also. He was clean. He's a good boy from a respectable southern family," said her father as if that atoned for all of his sins.
Sarah couldn't help but think about the young man who had so heartlessly taken the lives of her twin, boyfriend, and best friends. She swore that one day she would see him again and she would make him pay for ruining her life.
