"Adam! Look out!" I scream, the other car was coming too fast as it crossed over into our lane, Adam throws his arm in front of me as he slams on the breaks.

The last thing I hear is the sound of metal crunching and Adam's voice "I love you" he says.

I struggle to open my eyes, the silence is deafening, my first thought is of the baby. I feel okay, my head hurts but I think I'm okay. "Adam, are you okay?"

I look over at him and he's out cold his head is leaning on the steering wheel, blood running down from his head, "Adam, baby answer me".

Nothing.

I'm trying not to panic, I know it's not good for the baby, I can hear the wail of sirens in the distance.

I hear a welcome voice, "hello, My name is Kim, I'm a police officer are you okay?"

"Kim, it's me. Adam is hurt" I tell her, I'm not surprised she didn't know it was us the front end of the car is unrecognizable, "help Adam"

"Wendy, are you okay?" concern in her voice, I know she is a good friend to Adam.

"Damn it Kim, help Adam!"

She goes to him, "he's breathing Wendy, just stay calm" she tells me, the ambulance finally arrives.

As they lift me from the car, my head starts to hurt like nothing I've ever experienced, I keep seeing these bursts of light and the pain is unbelievable, "my head hurts" I try to tell them, the words coming out all wrong.

They're staring at me, Kim rushes and grabs my hand.

Why aren't they helping Adam, I want to scream, I give in to the pain.
