This part takes place four months later, than the previous part that happens in the prologue.
Bring, bring, The phone rings loud!
"Heather, will you get the phone, please?" Julie, Heather's sister calls out. She is busy with her hair.
"Sure thing, sis!" Heather calls out. She goes to the phone in the hall way and picks it up.
"Hello!" Heather says.
"Hello, is this my dear, Heather?" Brad says into the other end.
"Yes, this is she!" Heather says so glad he has taken the time to call her.
"Good, I just want to let you know that I will be over later tonight! " Brad says. He appears to be full of excitement.
"Wow, really? That is fantastic, it has been awhile since I last saw you." Heather replies.
"Haha, very funny! You just saw me a few days ago!" Brad reminds her.
"I know, but to me any time apart from you seems like forever!" Heather says.
"I love you!" Brad says.
"I love you too!" Heather replies.
"Listen it will be late when I get there so do not hold dinner for me or anything. It will be more like around eight or nine at the latest." Brad tells her.
"Okay, see you then!" Heather responds.
"Love you forever, see you then!" Brad says.
"Yes, see you then and love you always!" Heather says.
When Brad hangs up, Heather jumps in down with the thought that in just a few hours, he will be here to visit her! She can hardly wait!
" I take it that was Brad!" Julie teases her.
"How did you know?" Heather ask.
"You only get that way when he calls. I mean it, I have never seen someone so in love as you and him!" Julie says. She is happy for her sister. She thinks, she is blessed to know who she wants to be with unlike me I have no clue.
A few hours later, at 7:30 pm, Brad hops on his shiny, red motorcycle and heads on his way to Heather's. The jewelry box is safe inside his jacket as it should be along with his wallet. He drives in such a rush to get there he fails to notice the pot holes. He also, pays no attention to the rain around him. He is that much in a hurry to see her! He cannot wait to see her face when she sees the gift he has for her!
Brad drives so fast he accidentally hits a pot hole hard and his motorcycle flips over. It does this more than once. This results in a crack in his windshield, and he falls off it. The vehicle lands hard on top of him. He ends up with a hurt knee, a broke arm, a few cracks in his ribs and from the impact he dies within minutes. His cell phone falls out on the pavement below him along with box.
Meanwhile, Heather checks the time! She sees it reads 8:45 pm. She tries not to panic as she remembers he said he might be there as late as nine o'clock. She waits an extra half hour and when he still does not show up she begins to think the worst. Something must have taken place to make him late, right? It is so unlike him not to call.
"Julie did Brad pull up yet?" Heather ask her.
"Sorry, sis, but no! I am sorry." Julie says.
"Oh, okay! Well, thanks anyway." Heather says. She gets ready for bed and struggles to sleep. She cannot shake the feeling something is off. She has no idea what it could be only that she knows she worries for him!
Julie shakes her head. She thinks, that is odd he would stand her up! She paces back and forth and thinks, that is it, why would he do this when he loves her? I am sure of it. She too begins to believe something awful must have taken place to cause he not to show, but what? How? When? She too goes to bed with the notion that things are not as they seem.
Heather tosses and turns in her sleep. She has a crazy dream . She cries in her sleep. She does not even realize it since she stays asleep despite the bad dream! She moves around so much all the blankets except for the sheets and one throw blanket fall of the bed.
Here is the nightmare Hannah has for those who want to know about it.
Hannah dreams she and Brad are on a walk. She tells Brad how much she loves him and he reminds her that he loves her too! In fact, he tells her I will always love you! Then he disappears and she she is at the beach all alone as she reads her Bible. She thinks she is alone until she hears a voice whisper, I will love you forever ! She has this same dream throughout her night. Hannah continues to toss and turn in her sleep as the weird dream continues.
