Page 80 of I Wish I Would've Told You

The sticks stop moving and then they begin blinking.

We’re stuck on a set of train tracks…

No, no, no…

I need to open my door and get out, but I can’t move.

“Scarlett?” Tully cries. “Scarlett, can you hear me?”

I stare ahead at our mangled dashboard, at the blood that’s smeared along the leather.

Everything dissolves into a blur.

And then my entire world is black.

TULLY

“Scarlett, can you hear me?” I press my thumb against her neck, waiting to feel a pulse. “Scarlett?”

I lay my head against her chest, but I hear nothing.

She’s gone.

PART 6

SOME LIES ARE BETTER THAN THE TRUTH

Question:

If you were forced to choose between hurting the person you love most and losing them once they know the truth,orbreaking things off to spare their feelings and save them from ever knowing the truth, which would you pick?

A)Because honesty always wins, no matter what. (And hey, they might come back to you someday)

B)Because they’ll never look at you the same if they find out, and you don’t want to hurt them harder.

Answer:

B.

They don’t deserve to know how horrible of a person you are.

TULLY

“Drunk driver.” “I heard he was going one-twenty in the sixty before the train hit the back of their car.” “We need to talk to their parents about their survival chances once we’re out of the O.R.”

I’m straining to hear the words around me, but they’re all faint.

Every muscle in my body is numb, and I’m trying to figure out why the floor under me is moving so damn fast.

Where am I?

I struggle to open my eyes, but the view doesn’t look familiar.

The lights above me are bright white and they’re moving as fast as the floor. Masked faces surround me, and now they’re shouting at each other.
