Motorcycle

Jake cruised up the street on his beat up Harley. He stopped when he came to house number 14785. He hopped off the bike, and pulled off his helmet. Then he looked in one of the side mirrors. His short black hair was matted to his head from wearing the helmet. 1

He ruffled his hair, then turned away from the bike and stolled up the long walkway until he reached the front door. He knocked three times, then waited. He heard the click of a lock, then the door swung open. 2

Sara stood infront of him. He light blue eyes sparkled and she broke into a huge smile when she saw him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and lifted both feet off the ground, embracing him in a huge hug. 3

He kissed her cheek tenderly. "Hey baby," he said. She put her feet down.4

"What are you doing here?" She asked. "I thought you were out of town."5

"I got back early. I thought maybe you would be able to come to lunch?" He questioned. She smiled.6

"Yeah, I can come," she answered. He grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the door. "Wait," she said. He looked back, then let go of her hand. She walked back to the door and locked it. Then she ran down the walkway to the bike, where Jake was standing waiting for her.7

"We're taking your bike?" She asked in dismay.8

"Yeah, is something wrong?" He asked.9

"You know my freind's dad died in motorcycle acci-" She started. He quieted her with a kiss. When he pulled he said,10

"Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to you." Then he helped her onto the motorcycle. He pulled on his helmet and got on infront of her.11

They rode into the town, and when they came to a deserted street, he decided to go a bit faster.12

"Slow down," Sara yelled from behind him. Jake hit the brake. It didn't slow. He tried two more times, it still wasn't working.13

"Why aren't you slowing down?" Sara asked angrily. "SLOW DOWN! This is scary!" She said when they accelerated even faster.14

"Nah, this isn't scary," he said as he tried the brakes again and again in panic. "It's fun."15

"Slow down. Please," she pleaded with him.16

"Tell me you love me, and give me a big hug. Then I'll slow down." He said.17

She hugged him. "I love you," she said earnestly.18

"Okay, now take my helmet," he said.19

"Why?"20

"Because it's bugging me," he replied. She took his helmet and put it on.21

"Now will you slow down?" She asked as they sped forward.22

"I-" Jake's words were cut-off from the impact of the bike hitting a rock and flying into the air. It flipped over and the two riders were flung off.23

Sara's head hit the ground with huge impact, but she was protected by Jake's helmet.24

Jake landed on his head and his spinal cord was jerked backward from the impact of the hard ground. 25

Sara crawled in pain to Jake's unmoving body. She lay her head on his still chest. 26

"I love you," she told his dead body again, and kissed his bleeding face tenderly. 27

She fell asleep to the sound of ambulance sirens. She could subconsiously feel them putting her on a stretcher and taking her away. She wanted to scream for them to leave her with Jake, but she couldn't.
