it happened so quickly.

i was walking across the street when my eyes caught on harlow's caramel hair on the next sidewalk over, and my steps faltered, and i didn't notice the car.

i didn't notice the car.

but heather did.

she cried out and ran into the street, grabbing my arm, pulling me out of the way just in time – just in time. the car whizzed by ; i could feel the rush of the wind as it blew past.

i glanced at heather. i knew she'd been walking toward harlow, but it seemed as if she'd come out of nowhere. just in time, just in time.

her gray eyes were worried. are you okay ?

i managed a smile. yeah. thanks.

she'd come just in time, just in time.

how could i hate her ? she was such an angel.
