Chasing Cars

Joey Armstrong expected a few stern words about his behavior when his dad picked him up from school that day.

What he didn't expect was his dad to take down some kid.

"He heard Joey choke out a scream from behind him as Billie’s heart jumped into his throat, and out of pure reflex, his foot slammed into the break pedal with so much force it hurt. A horrible screeching sound drowned out the noise from the stereo, as the tires on Billie’s Ford Fairlane fought for some sort of grip on the surface of the road as the car skidded into the kid."
