Crashing Downhill
Inside I felt numb. I didnât know what to think. This was pretty scary, but surely it couldnât be true.
Rushing out of Rainâs house, my mind wasnât with me. I turned around and slammed straight into the door. It wasnât just a slight bump; it was a big one. One that hurt dramatically. Rain had already grabbed her keys and got in her car, and so had Dymond. After I had slightly stopped hurting, I rushed out as well. Why we all got in three different cars was absolutely beyond me, but we did anyway.
I pulled out of the driveway and waited for Dymond to lead. Rain pulled out of her driveway the same time Dy pulled forward. Rain slammed into the front of Dymondâs car. They were both moving at the same time. No one was hurt, but it further depressed us. We didnât even have time to see the damage of their cars. They just parked, got out and got in the car with me.
âYaâll think sheâs OK?â I asked as we drove a little farther out of the neighborhood.
âI donât know. I donât know,â Dymond said hastily. âBut I know that she didnât sound good, and anything could be happening. I think she was drinkinââ
Rain was looking out the window with not a word to say.
âNow, I know you ainât still mad at me,â I quizzed in disbelief. âThereâs a lot going on with our friend. We need to at least come together and put our differences aside, so that we can try and find Lynzi.â
âOh, so now you trying to use whatâs going on with our friend to make our friendship work? I donât even think so. Itâs not that simple, Payton.â
Dymond entered the conversation and said, âMaybe sheâs right, Rain.â
âNahh, donât try and tell her Iâm right, Dymond. She got an attitude, then she can get out of my car and walk. Shoot, I donât have time for this drama either.â
I stopped the car, pulled the car over and said, âGet out! Get out!â
âFine,â she stood up and slammed my door.
Boy, did I want to hit her. Rain started to walk away. I didnât care at that point. I was too angry to beg somebody to come back. As I started to take off and drive right past her, Dymond opened the car door.
âWhat are you doing?â I said. âItâs dangerous.â
âIâm sick of the two of yaâll. Stop the car. Iâm sick of the two of yall.â
I stopped, not because I wanted to, but because if I didnât Iâd probably run over Dymond. At that point, it seemed Dymond was the only one who cared about keeping our friendship together. I was through with it all. I had reached the boiling point. I noticed Rain continued to walk back to her house. She didnât care about us being of one accord either. Dymond went over to her, pulled her arm, and pushed her into the backseat of my Jeep. I was happy when the cell phone rang.
