I should have insisted that Reid not enter the car. We could both tumble down the mountain to our deaths. Me threatening to kill him or punch him intentionally was different than both of us tragically dying.

It was so stupid not to turn around when I noticed Reid was right. The roads were too dangerous to drive on. But I was too stubborn and proud to turn around. My grandmother was right. Grandpa and I were similar in that aspect; it was hard for us to admit our defeat or mistakes. So here I was! One moment driving through the rain and slippery roads, and next I lost control of the wheel and we hydroplaned off the road.

Thank God, it happened on the only part of the road that had this side road. Otherwise, we would have tumbled down the mountain already. The fear of dying gripped me on the inside.

Who would have ever thought four years ago, after that night, that we’d end up here?

“We got this,” he repeated again.

His big hand was on the wheel with a firm grip. My own hands shook from fear. I was too young to die. So was he.

I really wished I listened to him and stayed in the house. Too late, though; I let my anger get the best of me and it might cost us both of our lives.

“Ok, push the gas pedal,” he urged me.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” Not an ounce of uncertainty. “Do it now.”

I did as he instructed and my heart might have stopped for the duration of that activity. My foot pressed on the gas pedal, the car dangerously tilting over. I was too scared to breathe, too scared to move.

“Press it harder,” he ordered, his tone calm.

Without a question, I did what he said and the car jerked. Instinctively, I squeezed my eyelids tight. If we were falling to our death, I didn’t want to know.

“Good, good,” he muttered. I opened my eyes with his voice. We were back on the pavement, and he was steering us backwards.

“Okay, love,” he murmured, his eyes locked behind us. “Press the brake now.”

Without even a second thought, my foot was on the brake and the Jeep came to a screeching halt. I couldn’t believe we made it. My pounding heart was slowly turning back to its normal rhythm. Suddenly, everything from outside came crashing down on me. The heavy rain was splashing against the windshield, the sound of the wind blowing through the trees, and the thunder in the distance.

He called me love, the thought seemed irrelevant but nonetheless important.

I turned my head at Reid, the man I’d been mad at for the past four years, and smiled shakily.

“We made it,” I beamed, although my voice still trembled.

He smiled back and I was struck with how gorgeous he was.

“Yes, we did,” he replied. “Can you drive us out of here? Or do you want me to drive?”

“Where are Rhett and Emilia?”

“I told Rhett to take her back to the cabin.” It was a good decision.
