Who Knew.

9:45 p.m.

(Joe’s POV)

The Reception went well. Mary and Kevin could not stop smiling at each other. Nothing could ruin this night. We were on our way home. I was responsible enough not to drink tonight, so I could drive us all home safely. But I would defiantly drink tomorrow!

"The Wedding is going to be perfect" Tessy giggled. I couldn't help but laugh. They were all little bit tipsy.

"I can't wait" Kevin gleamed. I turned look at Penny she was already staring at me, "What?" I asked with a small smile, glancing back to the road so often.

"Will you be as happy on our wedding day?" She asked me softly.

"Of course" I laughed, putting my hand over hers,"But happier" Penny blushed then squeezed my hand. letting go she turned to look behind her smiling at Mary, "That guy has been right our tail ever since the last light"

"I can't shake him off" I hissed. "Don't worry" Penny patted my thigh. I smiled at her, wishing it was our day tomorrow.

"Joe turn on some music!"Nick shouted in the very back row of the S.U.V. , with Tessy.

"Yeah some Jobro's Dude" Miley giggled, as Kevin shoved her playfully. Then wrapping a secure are around Mary. Who was behind Penny. Everyone in the car, giggled-so much giggling-.

"I didn't like the food though" Mary whined.

"But chicken Marsala is your favorite" Kevin tried to reassure her, without laughing. Drinking and arguing does not mix.

"How about some music" I tried to change the subject. Penny giggled from her seat.

"Like you know what my favorite things are" Mary barked, turning to look out the window.

"Of course I ...d-do..."Kevin hiccupped.

"Oh yeah...What's favorite steak restaurant" Mary suddenly yelled. Penny still continued to giggle.

"What's so funny?" I whispered.

"She doesn't like steak" She laughed.

"See you don't know..cause I don't even like steak!" Mary screeched.

"Now that's not fair!" Kevin bellowed back, “...I knew that anyways..” he mumbled under his breath.

"Yeah, well flirting with another girl two nights before our wedding isn’t fair for me either"Mary snapped. The song 'Burning Maps' By CastleDoor, started to fill everyone's ears.

"Who’s calling me" Penny slurred, unbuckling her seat belt. Trying to reach for her phone behind her.

"Pen, baby please sit back down!" I yelled looking over at her small frame half way out of her seat. We were coming to an intersection. It was green.

"Well maybe we shouldn't get married!”

"If that's what you want!" Kevin yelled. At the moment it was tense... They didn't mean that...of course not ... Then next moment, out of no where. The impact too shocking. My mind only on penny as it hit her side. Metal scrapping/screaming. so intense, loud enough to cover the sounds of the earth. Even the noise drowning out the cries in the distance. Only it was happening right next to me and behind me. They car behind us swerved causing the car beside us ram into the back, causing the car to fly forward, Seat belts catching everyone, into the other side of the intersection. On coming traffic had no time to stop. One more hit. The noise stopping the world. Then it was silent. No more screams or cries. Everyone still too shocked to say anything. I quickly looked to my right, Penny was missing.

"PENNY!" I screamed, unbuckling my seat belt, falling on the ground. She was in the middle of the road lifeless. All Cars stopped now. Quickly I pulled myself out through the window and on to my feet. Glass sticking everywhere. I ran to her body. 'Still breathing' I sighed. "Penny" I spoke softly, getting on my knees beside her.

"I love you" She whispered. I pulled her head onto my lap, "I love you to" I cried, "Don't worry I'm here"

10:28 p.m.

(Miley's POV)

Police and Ambulance's came quickly, after I called.

"Sir we need to get her to a hospital now!" They spoke to joe. He wouldn't let her go. She had lost consciousness earlier on. He just yelled at her for minutes to wake up.

"Ma’am" an Officer spoke to me, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine... "

“Need a ride?"

"Please" I replied. Kevin went with Mary, The words he whispered wouldn't leave my mine, "I'm so sorry, we can change the food..don't worry..I'm so sorry". She had hit her head badly and was bleeding. It was hard to think happy thoughts as I watched Kevin get in with her. His blood stained shirt numbed me. Tessy and Nick were rushed off as well in separate ambulances. Neither awake after the accident. For me and Joe..just scratches...Poor Joe..He couldn't stop crying. Just keeps blaming himself.

(Joe's POV)

As they took Penny away, I was to ride with Miley. I ran over the wrecked car and grabbed Penny's purse. Her phone went off again. The same ring, Thing was that it wasn’t her phone...it was mine. The song went on slowly mixing with the sounds of sirens of the ambulance..pulling her body away.

The End.
