The night was silent as Rachel crossed the road.
The air pressed cool against her skin with a faint breeze curling through her strawberry blonde hair.
Her heels clicked softly over the painted white lines of the crosswalk, and the sound was echoing in the quiet night.
Then the quiet shattered as the sound of an engine roared.
A white BMW sped forward with its headlights cutting through the darkness like twin blades.
Rachel froze.
Her head turned just in time to see the headlights.
Behind the wheel, Liam's face burned with rage, and every inch of his muscle was tight.
His eyes locked on her, and the fury in them stabbed Rachel deeper than the headlights ever could, which made her chest tighten.
Through the glass, she saw his lips move.
His words hit her even before the car reached her.
"DIE, BITCH!! DIE!!!"
The scream was so loud that even the stray cats who were sleeping all woke up.
On the other hand, Rachel's heart stopped.
