Chapter one: From now Back to the very beginning

A small red car spins around all of a sudden out of control and a brunette girl in her 20's looks at her passenger with wide eyes filled with horror desperate to get the car under control until finally, they hit a huge rock.

The young brunette named Lila finally woke up. She didn't know how long she had blacked out. She looked around and all she could see were an empty road on the side of her and lots of fields. The bumper was dented a bit, In fact, it was dented a lot and smoke and steam came out of the bumper itself.

She could make something out in the distance opposite but couldn't quite make it out. Her vision blurred a bit so she blinked in an effort to focus. Eventually, the blurriness cleared and she saw a Green car in the distance.

She frowned in a whisper. "Hang on a minute, I know that car."

The truth was she did know that car..all too well. Her mind casts back to Two years ago when she first met Drake at a party.

She was sitting there all alone at the bar nursing a double vodka and coke whilst staring at her phone. She was fuming because she had been stood up by one of her friend's yet again.

She was in two minds about grabbing her coat off her stool and leaving there and then. After all, she didn't really know the host so was there any actual point in staying here?. She sighed to herself. "There's nothing sadder than a girl drinking on her own." She grabbed her coat and knocked down her drink, Turning herself to leave.

BUMP

She looked up and found she had bumped into a really cute guy. "Oh, my gosh..Isn't he cute? Maybe it's worth it staying after all."

She looked at his green shirt and noticed in the disaster caused by herself he had actually spilled his beer all over him. "Oh my god I am so sorry!, I just wasn't looking where I was going. Please let me know if there's a way I can make it up to you or Just send me your dry cleaning bill.

The guy smiled with his dimples. "Actually there is one thing that you could do for me."

Lila frowned. "Which is what exactly.?"

Lila

He leaned in and strokes her brown hair out of the way of her blue eyes and whispers in her ear. "You could stay."

Lila wasn't sure if she should but she took another look at him and noticed his gorgeous dark black hair and blue eyes. And she realized that she could just not refuse that offer. He was just too hot to say no to and even though she didn't have the greatest track record for relationships she decided tonight she was going to have fun. She smiled at him and followed him with her drink over to his friends. She made a mental note to dump her so called "Friend" for standing her up whilst at the same time thanking her. Perhaps she has done me a favor.

Drake

He smiled back at her. "So, What's your name gorgeous?

She bit her lip nervously. "I'm uh, Lila."

He grinned. "Well, Lila I'm Drake. What do you say I get you another drink?"

She shuffled around nervously."Isn't it me that should get you a drink as I am the culprit for spilling your drink after all."

He winked back at her. "I'll let you off this time though princess."

His words brought her out of her shell and for the first time in a long while she danced as if tonight was her last.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She blinked again and found herself back in reality. She stared at the car thinking about that very first night. That was how Her and Drake started but they probably would still be together now If It wasn't for his issues.

She flinches slightly remembering how heated their arguments were.

They were standing just feet apart in their own house after recently just moving in together.
"For god's sake Drake, I haven't cheated on you."

He slapped her across the face in rage. "You liar, I know you've been with Jackson, He's my best mate for god sake!."

She looks at him wide eyes in terror whilst rubbing her cheek. "Okay fine, I've been with him and it was great! You happy now?!."

He turned on his heels in anger and slammed the front door behind him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She shuffles around a bit in pain back to reality again. The ironic thing was she hadn't in fact cheated on him then because as everyone knows the more you accuse someone of cheating the more that they do it anyway and that was exactly what she did.

It was more in anger than anything. Normally she wouldn't do anything like that she was too loyal but the truth was she always promised herself if a man ever hit her even once she would get out there that instant.

But she didn't and like a fool, she stayed with him even though she cheated with Jackson but it didn't matter to her anyway because there was literally no point to her in telling him if he thinks that she had already done it before then.

Of course, the most ironic thing is that has he blamed her and not Jackson. She was to blame for it all and He stayed pally-pally with his best mate ignoring the fact his best mate betrayed him with his girlfriend.

But of course like Dumbledore from Harry Potter said. "Happiness can be found even in the darkest times if one only remembers to turn on the light."

And that was, of course, true because a few months later after she eventually found the courage to leave Drake. She met Johnny and they fell in love.

She and Johnny met at a job interview. Each of the applicants had to go through several rounds to get the job. They tested their team building skills and things like that. It had all included accommodation whilst they picked all the applicants to go through to the final round.

She and Johnny were actually one of the lucky few to get to the final round of applicants. Both of them started to get close and spent a lot of time together and amazingly they both got the job instead of one of them.

Their role was to make sure each band at the festivals that they host got on the stage and everything when without a hitch. Making sure no trouble were to arise and everyone had fun. Mostly making sure everything was going right on schedule and taking care of the bands.

Things between them both were beginning to sound like a fairytale. So much so he had eventually proposed to her in front of Union J and a whole audience of people. She, of course, stared at him as he declared all dying love to the world but there was no way in hell she was going to say no!

She decided she wasn't going to let this one slide through her fingers. He was kind and strong and understanding but most of all he was gentle with her and never ever held a hand to her.

If there was one rule the two of them had it was to never ever go to bed on an argument. So to the outside world, it looked like the perfect relationship and it was to them except of course Drake.

He had gotten himself bitter and twisted after the separation. There were countless times that Drake had kicked off at all the festivals that her boss had organized. He had gotten himself terribly drunk at one point and told everyone on stage in the microphone that she was a whore and a cheat and a liar and no-one should go near her with a barge pole.

He had eventually been taken away by security but it didn't stop there. He constantly followed her home and even followed Johnny home and threatened him.

She remembers lying in bed with Johnny at one point asking Johnny. "Johnny, You shouldn't have to deal with this so why are you staying with me?."

He smiled at her and kissed her. "Because I love you that's why."

Johnny Case

She looked to her right in the passenger side of the car and screamed in tears. Johnny was slumped down in his chair and unconscious. He also had blood coming from his forehead."No, Johnny No! Please don't be dead please!."

The scream could be heard in the distance from the other car. Both of them were okay physically but the scream had distracted Drake. Jackson yelled "Dude, We gotta get out of here now!."

Jackson

Jackson sighs and repeated himself whilst hitting the back of Drake's head. "Dude we gotta get out of here or would you prefer to wait for the police to show up?."

Drake rubs his head and stared at him. "Dude, That Hurt."

Jackson grins. "Good!, It was meant to. Now get us out of here now!"

Drake reversed backwards onto the road and turned the wheel straight. He put his foot down and sped away from the scene of the crime right passed Lila. Who got out of the car screaming after them. "No! You can't leave me here like this. Not while Johnny is like this! I will never ever, forgive you for this Drake, Never!"

She watches as he away and she climbs back into the car and fiddles with her phone almost dropping it in the process. She presses 999.

999 operator: Emergency. Which service do you require? Police, fire brigade or ambulance?

She splutters. "I need an ambulance fast! It's my boyfriend, Sorry my fiance he's unconscious."

999 operator: "Just a moment."

The call clicks and this time someone else answers.

Ambulance call Handler: This is the Ambulance service. What number are you calling from?"

She breathes raggedly. "01729 4974521. It's my Mobile Please Come Quickly, Oh God please!"

Ambulance call Handler: "Tell me what's happened".

She sniffles. "My Ex-boyfriend and his friend hit our car and then just drove off." She splutters. "How?, How can they just do that and drive off when they've hurt someone?"

Ambulance call Handler: "Are you at the accident scene?."

Lila sighs. "Yes, I'm standing right next to him." She walks around the car to the passenger side. "Baby Please wake up!."

The Ambulance Call Handler asks her. "Where are you?."

She looks at her partner Johnny worriedly. "I'm on a country road in Alston near Haydon Bridge not far from the A69."


Ambulance call Handler: "Is he breathing?."

She places two fingers on Johnny's neck. "He has a pulse but barely." She feels his chest. "Oh my god, He's not breathing, He's not breathing."

She lets out a scream in anguish that just didn't sound human. It echoed in the area around them.

The Ambulance Handler asks. "What's Your Name?."

She splutters again shakily in tears. "Lila, My name is Lila and my boyfriend sorry Fiance is really bad."

The Ambulance Handler tries to keep her calm. "OK, Lila Please keep calm. The ambulance is on its way, so I want you to stay by the person and check that he keeps breathing. Don't put the phone down. OK?"

Lila screams. "Thank you, Thank you so much, Please Hurry.!"

30 minutes later she hears the sounds of an Ambulance Siren. She yells hurriedly in the distance. "We are over here! Please help me, please!.

She turns into her phone. "Thanks so much for your help, The Ambulance is here now."

The Ambulance Call Handler said,"It was My pleasure I hope You're Fiance will be okay."

The line disconnects and Lila puts her phone in her pocket and runs to the paramedic. "Follow me, It's my Fiance. He's unconscious and barely breathing."

The Paramedic places two of his fingers on his throat. "We don't have a pulse, We need to get him into the ambulance quickly."

His colleague nodded and ran to get the trolley as fast as he could.

Lila watches in horror confused. "Wait, No pulse? Is He dead?! No, No, No!" She falls down to her knees. The Paramedic went over to her. "Look, we are going to do everything we can for your fiance but you need to be strong for him okay?."

She nodded and got back up with the aid of the Paramedic.

He Smiles at her. "Now can you tell me you're Fiance's name?."

Lila wipes away the tears with her sleeve. "His name is Johnny."

The Paramedic nodded. "Okay, try not to worry, Johnny is in safe hands."

He returns to help his colleague and helps to get Johnny into the Ambulance quickly.

Lila follows them in a daze. She gets into the Ambulance and watches as The Paramedic starts administering CPR Whilst his colleague shuts the double doors and runs round to the driver's side.

Lila sits down in shock as the Ambulance begins to drive away with the blue's and two's siren blurring loudly. She watches as he opens her fiance's mouth and gives two breaths of oxygen.

She could hear the paramedic's voice as if he was in a distance. He places his hands on his chest and counts up to 30. "1 and 2 and 3 and 4."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

His voice drains out in the distance as she recalls the day she left Drake.

"I'm leaving you."

He grabbed her arm. "The heck you are, You Owe me remember".

Lila frowns. "Oh really? How Do you work that one out?."

He growls frustratedly. "You slept with my best mate!".

She yanks her arm out of his grip. "So you keep reminding me. Besides, I've met someone else and we all know that this joke of a relationship is never going to work out."

She picks up a box of her stuff and Drake pushes her to the ground with most of her stuff spilling out of the box. "Fine leave me then, There's the door but don't come back to me when it all goes wrong because I won't have you back in a million years."

She scoffs and squares up to him. "Good because I will never ever come back here again and we will never ever get back together."

She quickly gathers her stuff and slams the door behind her. Leaving her old life finally for a very long time.
