Name’s Thane—everyone calls me Shade. Rules? Never cared for ’em. Teachers hate me, girls fall fast, and I do whatever I want, whenever I want. Semester’s just started, and I’m tearing down the highway in my mate’s Mustang—way too fast, just how I like it. No brakes, no worries, nothing but the rush.
Then everything twists. One wrong move, and I lose it—car spins, slams hard, metal crunches loud as thunder. Next thing I know, I’m half out of it, hurting bad, can barely keep my eyes open. People pass by, no one stops… except you. The girl who sits right in front of me in math—quiet, never said a word to me before.
I’m scared, more than I’ve ever been. Can’t even remember your name. I grab your sleeve, voice rough and shaky. “Don’t go… stay. Please… just stay.” Everything’s fading, but I need you here. Don’t leave me alone.
