some. Sparks seem to fly, the butterflies are going bonkers. It takes me a minute to re-gain my bearings when he pulls away, opening his eyes slowly. He just smiles at me and kisses my lips again with a quick peck.
We enjoy the rest of the ride. Pointing at the different rides, stalls and tiny people below. I cannot seem to wipe the smile off my face as we walk back to the car. Chelsey sees us as we get close; she claps her hands in excitement and rushes over to us. She throws her arms around me, I look over her shoulder at Keagan, who just shakes his head with a smile and joins Eddie.
Two large blankets are on the ground in front of the Me rcedes. Chelsey gives me a hug and whispers in my ear “We’ll talk about it later. Come on!” She sits on one of the blankets with Eddie, who is playing with his phone, once again controlling the music in the car, its windows open so we can hear Bruno Mars’s album Unorthodox Jukebox.
Keagan and I sit on the other. He sits behind me and wraps his big arms around me. The fireworks are amazing; they are the most beautiful colors. We can hear oohhs and aaaarrrs coming from all around us. The finale of red rockets, pink fountains, orange helicopters and purple roman candles is perfectly choreographed.
I am in seventh heaven while watching. My first kiss replaying over and over in my head, it was earth shattering. Keagan was a total gentlemen, it was thoughtful and romantic. I couldn’t have even dreamt of a better one.
Chelsey jumps in the back of the car with me and makes Keagan sit in the front.
“Spill, I can tell by the dreamy look on your face since you got to the car that he totally laid one on you.”
“It was perfect Chelsey, we were rising to the top of the Ferris wheel and I was taking in the view.”
I lean in even closer and glace up front to make sure that Keagan is not paying attention, but thankfully the music has been turned up and the guys are talking about the track meet that is supposed to happen next week.
“The sun was setting and everything was cast in an o range glow as I was saying how beautiful everything was Keagan commented that I was beautiful.”
Chelsey is listening intently “He called you beautiful? Awww, that’s so sweet.”
“He leaned in and took a hold of my face and then he kissed me”
I glance out of the front windshield and my heart falls into my stomach. I grip a hold of Chelsey’s sleeve and pull on it, I am speechless and can only nod in the direction that I want her to look. When she turns her head to look out the window I know that all she sees are headlights coming from above us. Headlights that belong to another car that is about to hit us.
I had watched the car veer off the overpass above and fre efall straight in front of us. I don’t want to die, not tonight. I squeeze my eyes shut and Imagine the falling car suspended in midair until we are past it, then gently being placed right side up onto the road behind us.
I wait, eyes still squeezed shut, and I hear Chelsey scream and Keagan gasp. I anticipate the pain that will momentarily take over, as the car either crashes right on top of us or we hit the wreckage in front of us. I wait …

As I lie in bed on Saturday morning I still can’t believe what happened last night and that we are all still here, alive. Somehow, just as my imagination had laid out the pictures in my head is exactly how it all happened. We never hit the falling car, instead it landed safely with nothing but some body damage in the middle lane and we just sailed past. It’s a miracle that everyone involved is still alive. We pulled over, called 9-1-1 and checked on the family inside, they were in shock, as to be expected, but all four of them were taken to the hospital by the attending EMTs.
I was awestruck, how did I do that? Did it have som ething to do with the broom back in my kitchen? I have to call my Mom and get an
