Did I get knocked out? Shit.

Winter sat on my lap, nearly nose to nose, crying but

kissing me as soon as she felt me move.

I grunted, rubbing my neck as I looked over to see Will

yanking on his handle and throwing his body into the door.

It took a moment to register what had just happened, but

then I looked up, out the front windshield and saw what was

all around us.

The fucking river. Jesus.

“You okay?” I asked Winter.

“Yeah.”

I looked around, seeing the car flooding as water poured in

from the vents and under the dash, the car already half deep.

Fuck.

The river rushed over the hood as the car sank nose first,

and I looked out the window, seeing no signs of life from

Anderson’s car. It floated upside down, slowly sinking, as

well.

Winter jumped off me, and I pulled my handle, following

Will and slamming all my weight into the door. The cloudy

water rushed, starting to cover the windows and pour in, and I

yanked again and again and again, but the fucking door

wouldn’t open.

I climbed out of my seat, trying the back doors and kicking

the windows. Winter moved from door to door, feeling her

way and trying the windows, pushing the buttons, while Will

took the baseball bat and threw it into the glass.

“Just calm down a sec!” I yelled at him.

We were under water now. If he broke the glass, water

would rush in fast, and we needed a minute.

I pushed against the back door so hard my muscles burned.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck… Think.

GGoddammit.
