You're Not Danielle!!

The wind was howling, and the rain was pouring as Danielle drove home from work. The road was slick and dangerous, and she was trying to be as careful as possible. But suddenly, a deer jumped out in front of her car. She swerved to avoid it, and lost control of the vehicle. The car began to spin... As the car spun, Danielle's mind was racing. She thought of her family, her father, who was always harsh towards her, her late mother who died without saying goodbye, she thought of her brother who she never get along with, then she thought of her step mother who always told her to go to hell if she wanted, she thought of her friend, Andreas and all the things she had yet to do in her life. She thought of how unfair it was that her life might end like this, in such a senseless accident. Without resolving anything with anyone. And then, the car came to a stop. She opened her eyes, and looked around. The car was resting against a tree, and she was still alive. But her face was aching, and blood was dripping down from a cut on her forehead. Danielle tried to move, but she couldn't. Her body was too sore, and her mind was still reeling from the shock of the accident. She heard a voice outside the car, calling out to her. "Are you okay? Can you hear me?" The voice said. Danielle recognized the voice as that of a police officer. She tried to answer, but the words wouldn't come out. All she could do was moan in pain. The officer called for backup, and soon, an ambulance arrived. Danielle was loaded into the ambulance and rushed to the hospital. Lying down on the stretcher, she thought of Antoine, her boyfriend, the argument she had with him before she left for work in the morning. She thought of all the bad things she had said to him, "I hate you!! I wish I'd never see you again!!" She remembered herself shouting and tears fell off her eyes. No, she didn't really mean not to see him again. She just said those words out of anger. Oh Leo...she kept mumbling as she was pushed into the emergency ward. Meanwhile, at his apartment, Antoine was pacing back and forth. He had been worried about Danielle ever since their argument. He kept replaying the fight over and over in his head. He regretted everything he had said to her. And now, he was consumed with fear. He didn't know if she was okay, and he couldn't stop thinking about her. Suddenly, he heard a knock at the door. He ran to answer it, and was surprised to see two police officers standing there. Instead of Danielle. "Is this the residence of Antoine Laurent?" One of the officers asked. Antoine nodded, his heart racing. "We have some bad news," the officer said. "We were called to the scene of an accident. There was a woman in the car who mentioned your name. We think she might be your girlfriend." Antoine's heart dropped. "What happened to her?" he asked, his voice trembling. The officer looked down at his feet. "She was taken to the hospital. And she's dead." They pronounced and Antoine's whole body went limp at the news. The world seemed to slow down around him, and all he could hear was the officer's voice, telling him the terrible news. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Danielle was gone, just like that. And he had never even had a chance to apologize for the things he had said. All he could think about was how much he had taken her for granted. He had never stopped to appreciate all the things she did for him, or how much she loved him. And now, it was too late. Too late to make peace with her now. ************************************** Tears streamed down Leo's face, "Marie, no," he tried to hold her but she stepped back. "You don't mean that, do you?" He continued trying to know if she meant every word of what she said to him. "I've never loved you Leo, I was just using you and that's all. I can't end up with someone I don't even love for a single moment." She said and rolled her eyes. "We're getting married today Marie, you can't do this to us." Marie looked at him with pity, "I'm so sorry Leo, but it's not a decision I'm making, it's something I've known all along. I thought I could push through but I just can't. It's not fair to you, you deserve a woman who truly loves you. And not me. I've only loved someone else the entire time we've been together." "But, but who?" Leo stammered. "I thought we were happy, I thought we were in love." "I'm so sorry for lying to you all these years, but it's the truth." Marie said. She took off the ring and it came dancing to the floor and Leo watched as she dragged her wedding dress out of the room without looking back. Leo stood there frozen, unable to comprehend what had just happened. His whole world had come crashing down in a matter of minutes. He couldn't believe that the woman he loved and was about to marry had never loved him, and she was walking away from him on their wedding day. He felt like he was in a nightmare, and he desperately wanted to wake up. But as he stood there, he felt something he hadn't felt in a long time: anger. He was angry at Marie for lying to him and leading him on. He was angry at himself for being so blind to the truth. He...he was broken.
