First, the figure appeared on the road. Darren had swerved the wheel to prevent the accident from happening. Nevertheless, the tires had squealed before he had felt a devastating impact. Darren immediately pulled his vehicle to a stop and jumped out. He assumed the victim might have been high on drugs or maybe someone that might have been drinking too much. 

 He found them there where the truck had thrown them. The person was facing the pavement, body covered in material.  A brief moment passed. Darren stood in the headlights unable to move. Finally, he had crouched over the form and had turned the black-clad body over.

 Darren suffered two shocks at a rapid pace.  First, turning the shape over Darren discovered an undisputed fact, it was a female. Darren could see blood seeping out and portions of a bra poking through the torn cloth. But then the second surprise came as Darren lifted the hair from the face and pulled back the hood. The injured person was his neighbor, whom he had felt an attraction for a long time. 

He had seen her earlier that day, walking the happy dog. Darren had stepped out onto the road to check the mail, hoping that she would at least glance his way. But she hadn’t. Darren had stood there silently watching till she was out of sight.

He had been furious with himself then and had not eaten anything for dinner. Turning on the TV, Darren had tried to concentrate but had been unable. Hours had gone by, and finally, hunger consumed his thoughts. He had gone to taco bell at ten at night, brought, and ate a lot of tacos. After, while driving home, Darren had struck the neighbor girl whose ethereal beauty had caught his eye.

He had lifted and placed her inside the cab, not thinking about the phone he could have used to call nine one one. However, if he pondered the situation, he realized that a phone call may have been impossible as the reception in the area was low. Cell phone calls had disconnected before while he drove along the creek. Turning the vehicle around, Darren drove her straight to a hospital. 

At one point during the journey, he looked toward her and saw that her eyes were open. Darren’s heart had almost stopped. Then he had begun talking to her, trying to get a response in any way. But she was unable to utter a word and eventually closed her eyes.
