In a NewLight

Luce's POV
I pulled the car over into the other lane, making sure no one was coming either way. I glided safely around the ice patch.
Then I heard the screeching of tires as a car came flying across the road from a driveway I hadn’t noticed.
Blake's POV
Nothing was on freaking TV. I just kept flicking through the channels, hardly paying attention.
Christmas movies were on basically every channel. I browsed through Hallmark, Sports, TLC, abc family. Then I got to the local News and rolled my eyes.
They always have stupid interviews and dumb town memorials.
“In recent news...” Oh here we go. “There has been a devastating accident on Pike Ave, just South of Main Street.” Wait. What? I turned the volume up and listened intently to what the reporter was saying.
“The driver has been fatally injured and rushed to the hospital. However, the other driver has still not been found. Local authorities presume this was a hit and run crash. We’ll keep everyone posted as to the conditions of the teenager. Michael?” She said, and the show transitioned back to Michael Hanesworth.
“Who was it!” I nearly shouted at the TV.
I flew through the other news channels.
 “...and apparently there was so much ice on the road, this young lady was forced to drive around.” A girl. The driver was a girl.
“What about the other driver Bill?” The news reporter on the left asked.
“They weren’t in the car when an emergency team arrived and the wind shield wasn’t broken. It has been confirmed that this was a hit and run crash.”
“That’s a terrible shame, you know—” Then the news guy put his hand to his ear and listened intently. His eye brows raised and his jaw fell.
He looked directly to the camera.
“The teenager has been identified as Lucinda Prince.”
My heart fell and I couldn’t believe what I had just heard.
 
*** 
My knuckles turned white as I gripped the steering wheel.
She’ll be okay.
She’ll be okay.
By the time I reached the hospital it was already dark outside. I jumped out of my car not even bothering to slam the door shut.
I sprinted. As fast as I could.
Because as much as I didn’t want to admit it...
The girl I loved was in there somewhere and at any moment I might lose her.
Fave pretty please??? Comments!
