Simon was mopping up the floor when he heard the loud and very distinctive sound of a car crashing nearby.  Then there was the slightly less audible sound of what sounded like the crunching of metal rolling down a hill.  It sounded too close like it was in the local neighborhood and...April had just driven off...  Simon's eyes widened as the next thought entered his mind.  Hurriedly, he put on a shirt and pants and ran out the door.  When he got out he saw a small crowd milling towards the service road near his apartment building.<br/><br/>This was not good, Simon started sprinting towards the crash site, hoping that he would not see what he hoped not to find.  April had driven off safely...yes she was probably on her way back home.  This was just another accident that occasionally happened.  However, in Simon's gut he felt sick  as if realizing the truth was something he was trying to deny.  There were tire marks leading off the service road at the curve and snapped metal railings where the car had crashed straight through the guardrails.<br/><br/>Simon passed the rubberneckers, nearly getting hit by another car in his rush.  As he headed down the embankment, he couldn't see who it was sitting in the driver's seat of the car which was completely totaled.  Simon  ran to the driver's seat and peered in.  His stomach dropped as he saw blond hair nearly completely soaked in blood emerging from the deployed airbag.  Noo, no, no...no...no.....  Simon yanked at the door which stuck fast to the warped frame of the wreckage.  Without thinking, he drove his elbow through the shattered window getting cuts up his arms.<br/><br/>Then Simon reached inside and yanked as hard as he could to open the door while popping the airbag to release the driver.  The door finally opened slowly and reluctantly and Simon gently cradled the driver as he leaned...her back to see who it was.  April's unconscious face bloodied and pale stared back him accusingly as if she was still angry at him even in her state.  Simon sobbed as he cradled her form.....no...no..no....this wasn't happening....
