CHAPTER SEVEN

Holly screamed and tried to grab for something to hold on to. She felt the metal around her start to give. The dump truck hit them on the front just near his door—an inch more his way and Blake would be dead. He pressed down on the accelerator, but the engine died. The crunching continued as they were pushed into another car, ultimately sealing off both doors for their escape.

“We have to get out,” he said, reaching for his seat belt. Holly unbuckled and crawled over the seat, stopping when she realized Blake wasn’t moving.

“I’m stuck,” he told her, pressing the button on his seat belt with no effect. “You go! Kick out the back window and get out!”

Her eyes widened as the dump truck rammed them again. This time, without her seat belt, she went flying across the seat and slammed against the passenger window. Her head hit the glass with a thud and pain riddled through her. Nausea grabbed her and she thought she might lose consciousness. She fought it. If she passed out, she was dead, and so was Blake. But she couldn’t stop the groan that escaped her lips as she moved back toward him.

“Holly! Are you okay?” She heard the terror in his voice and tried to reassure him with a gentle nod that sent waves of pain rushing through her again.

She leaned over the seat and fiddled with his seat belt, trying to get it to give.

“It’s locked,” Blake stated. “Just go.”

“No, I’m not leaving you. Can you wriggle free of it?”

“No, it locked on impact.” Fear glowed in his eyes. “Holly, you have to get out.”

She wasn’t going to just leave him. Outside, the truck’s engine roared again as it backed up, ready to ram them once more.

“Do you have a knife on you?”

“No, I lost it in the water.”

She glanced around the car for something she could use to cut the belt. Shattered pieces of glass lay on the floor and seat. She picked up one of them and used it to slice through the fabric. The sharp edges cut into her hands and stung, but she kept on going. She couldn’t—she wouldn’t—leave him. Relief flooded her when Blake pulled against the belt and it gave. But they weren’t out of the woods yet. They still had to get out of the car. Blake wiggled around and put all his strength into kicking out the passenger window. She felt a rush of relief when it shattered.

“Go!” he said, motioning for her to go through first.

She scrambled over the seat and through the window, sliding onto the crushed car beside them then to the pavement. Blake slid through the window, too, but she saw him wince and realized he’d sliced his leg on a piece of glass. She grabbed his arm and tried to help him through as the big truck roared toward them. If they weren’t out of the way when it hit, they would be crushed.

Blake shoved her to the side and jumped.
