My hand let go of the door handle and dropped down like it could not even carry its own weight. I tried to focus on my breathing, but I could not feel anything as I sat back in the car seat.
Tears blurred my vision for the second time that night. Streaks of white from streetlights were the only thing that I could make out as they went whizzing past. They seemed to be moving faster and faster and more constantly. Then suddenly they all meshed like one big ball of light.
Then there was nothing.

Chapter Forty-Nine
"Ella, can you hear me?"
The voice was feminine and familiar. It was warm and comforting. I felt like I could open my eyes and it would all be fine.
A white light was the first thing I woke to. It was extremely bright, and I had to blink a few times before I could focus on anything.
"Do you know where you are?" The comforting voice spoke again.
My mouth felt dry, but I managed to let out a laugh "From the white light, I would say either the afterlife or the hospital. There is not a massive library consisting of all the books in the world nor a vending machine with unlimited gummy bears, so I am going to guess the second option."
Another familiar female voice cried "She is okay!"
I tried to move my head so I could see who they were, but I could not. My body felt like there was a massive amount of pressure on it and if I moved an inch then I would break.
I started to panic. I tried to move around as I was desperate to sit up. That was when I started to feel the surface I was rested on move. The hospital bed moved until I was sitting upright, and I could see the two figures.
The older woman that I had grown to love that was in her scrubs uniform asked me "Do you know who I am?"
I nodded "Mrs Lewis."
She smiled at me, and I could see her relief "I thought I told you to call me Mom or even just Kelly. You are family."
Laughing caused my ribs to hurt and I winced at the pain before looking to the other side of the bed "Lana?"
Lana's eyes were red, and tears were running down her face when she spoke "When you are better then I am going to kick your tiny butt for scaring me like that."
Mrs Lewis was the one to talk next "What is the last thing you remember, Ella?"
My head ached so I reached up and put a hand on my forehead as if something was causing me pain while I replied "I was at the beach. I was with Stone. I was mad at him."
"Do you know what happened after that?"
