Terry's POV

It's been a week since Xavier and my date.  We've become closer since then.

"Hey Terry!  Don't forget about practice tonight.  We need extra practice." Kayla asks.

"Why?" I ask.

"Don't tell me you forgot!" Olivia exclaims.

"Next month is the battle of the bands at the club!" Courtney exclaims.

"Oh, hah, sorry.  Don't worry, we got it in the bag." I say.  They roll their eyes and leave.  All of the sudden I feel a sharp pain in my heart.  Ah, heart burn!  I clutch my chest and stumble to my room.  Just my luck, I stumble into Xavier's office and right there is him and some bleached blonde barbie bimbo making out.  Xavier pulls away and looks up at me.  I ask with my eyes, "how could you?"  Then I run away.  I hear him calling my name and the others coming to see what's happening.  By then it's too late.  I'm already on my motorcycle.  I don't know where I'm heading.  I'm just riding.

!@#$%^&*()

It's been about an hour and I'm still riding.  I start singing Highway Don't Care by Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift.

Bet your window's rolled down and your hair's pulled back
And I bet you got no idea you're going way too fast
You're trying not to think about what went wrong
Trying not to stop 'til you get where you goin'
You're trying to stay awake so I bet you turn on the radio
And the song goes

I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby
I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby, baby

The highway won't hold you tonight
The highway don't know you're alive
The highway don't care if you're all alone
But I do, I do.
The highway won't dry your tears
The highway don't need you here
The highway don't care if you're coming home
But I do, I do.

I bet you got a dead cell phone in your shotgun seat
Yeah, I bet you're bending God's ear talking 'bout me.
You're trying not to let the first tear fall out
Trying not to think about turning around
You're trying not to get lost in the sound but that song is always on
So you sing along

I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby
I can't live without I can't live without you baby, oh baby

The highway won't hold you tonight
The highway don't know you're alive
The highway don't care if you're all alone
But I do, I do.
The highway won't dry your tears
The highway don't need you here
The highway don't care if you're coming home
But I do, I do.

I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby
I can't live without I can't live without you, baby, oh baby

The highway don't care
The highway don't care
The highway don't care
But I do, I do.

I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby
I can't live without I can't live without you, baby, oh baby
(The highway don't care
The highway don't care
The highway don't care
But I do, I do)
[x3]

I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby

The tears rolling down my face blur up my vision.  Then it happens so fast.  The truck headlights and the sound of honking is the last thing I remember before it all goes black.

Xavier's POV

"WHAT THE FREAKING HELL XAVIER!  WHY THE FRICK WOULD YOU DO THAT TO TERESA!?" Courtney screams at me as her kids and her friends glare at me.

"Penny came on to me!" I exclaim for the millionth time, ignoring the invisible pain.  She's about to scream something back when her phone goes off.

"Hello?"  Courtney answers her phone.  "Yes this is she...what happend?!...WHAT?!...uh huh, we'll be there right away."

She hangs up and tells everyone to go to the hospital.  Panic rises in me and we all head to the hospital.  The closest one is an hour away or so.  I'm assuming that's the one because it's also for werewolves.

!@#$%^&*()

"Can you tell us why we're here now?" Cortez asks his mate.

"Terry got in an accident.  A truck driver hit her when she swerved into the wrong lane.  She would've died on impact if it wasn't for her werewolf healing and her helmet." Courtney tells us.  I watch as everyone's face falls and my heart drops.  A doctor comes out of Terry's room.

"Okay, she's allowed visitors now but she's asleep.  She has a couple scratches and scrapes, a brokrn arm, a fractured leg, a broken rib, and twenty stitches on her head.  We still need to see if anything's wrong with her brain when she wakes up.  You can go in."  And with those words we all rush in.

"My poor baby sister." Maya cries into Cole's shoulder.

"Oh my god." The twins let out a breath,

"She's strong guys, don't worry." Diego reassures them.

"Is mommy gonna be okay?" Carly asks Dustin and Emilia.

"Yeah, Carls, don't worry.  She'll be alright." Dustin says.  Emilia stays silent and hugs Carly.

"Guys." Valarie says.

"What is it?" Julio asks.

"Sh!  She's waking up." We all look torwards her and her eyes flutter open.

"How are you feeling?" Courtney asks.

"I'm fine, but can you tell me one thing?" Terry asks her.

"Of course." Courtney says.

"Who are you?"
