Who: Molly Abel, Noah Riley(?), OPEN What: Car accident Where: Brooklyn When: Friday, June 15 @ 5:30pm Status: Complete
Molly had practically begged her parents to let her practice driving skills. They weren't easy to persuade, especially because of what had happened with Aaron when he started driving. She was completely different though and it would just be her in the car. She had her permit and sure, it was completely illegal for her to be driving a car by herself but she had promised her parents that she would only go for a ten minute car ride and that she'd have the car back in one piece within 15 minutes at the most. Plus, they had at least fifty chores to hold over her head if she damaged the car or if she took longer than fifteen minutes.
Eventually, they gave in though and passed her the car keys to the old junk car they had bought for her to practice with and some day drive around in when she got her license in exactly two months, assuming she'd pass the test. Rachel and Isaac Abel were showered in hugs and kisses from Molly, and bombarded with thank you's to the point where they warned her that they were now regretting it and thinking about taking back the keys.
Molly quickly ran out to the car and started it. She checked all of her mirrors like the responsible adult she was trying to prove she was turning into, and turned the radio on to one of the preset stations that she loved to listen to. The music wasn't overly loud, her phone was safely stashed away deep in her purse, and everything was all set. She peeled out of the drive way carefully and started cruising down the road. Everything seemed to be going all right and even though she could hear her phone dinging, Molly ignored it and focused on the road.
As she started to approach a main intersection, Molly tapped on the brakes. But the car didn't slow down. "What the... " Molly frantically pushed on the brakes and put them all the way down to the floor. Nothing was happening though and the intersection was getting closer. She had a red light, people were crossing the street, and there were cars passing in front of her. The panic attack set in as she pulled on the emergency brake and it pulled right out of the slot it was supposed to be in, effectively doing nothing to help the car to stop in this emergency.
Molly started honking the horn on the car to try and get the people to stop walking across the street and the cars to stop crossing the intersection. But nobody seemed to pay attention and Molly tried to swerve around the people and the cars. Almost immediately, pedestrians started screaming and one got clipped by the car. And seconds after that, a car passing through the intersection smashed into Molly's car.
