Even after Her Death by Rita Bond

At this moment, my heart seemed to stop beating. Was Harlan really dead?

Although I had clashed with him before, I trusted Carter's character, and I believed the friends he chose couldn't be bad people.

Regardless of whether Zoey and he would end up together, I didn't want him to die here.

After that deafening crash, a ringing filled my ears, and everything around me seemed to fade away, as if the world had been muffled.

I didn't know what lay ahead. With two lives still in my hands, I couldn't afford to stop. All I could do was push the accelerator and keep running.

Harlan had said that there were three more intersections. Just hold on.

There was no turning back; all I could do was move forward.

It felt like I was back on that bitterly cold, snowy night. I held my wound, blood draining quickly, my life ticking away.

Silas's heavy footsteps echoed behind me.

I stumbled, one foot in front of the other, walking along the water's edge. The cold river splashed against my dress, while snowflakes settled into my hair.

My pristine white wedding dress was stained with glaring red.

I wanted to escape, truly.

But I couldn't!

A voice in my head kept warning me, Chloe, hurry, faster!

I slammed my foot on the gas, pounding my thigh with all my strength.

Dead leg! Come on, push harder!
