Bianca
Stupid Toby. What an ass. How could she have been SO utterly blind? Bianca felt her feet guiding her without really thinking. There was only one place she needed to go and that was her think rock. Then she wanted to call Wes. Or not. This kept racing around in her head like two mice. Why would he care anyway? Why did she even want to? Because she had thought of him the entire night? She shook her head hard. No. Nope. Uh uh. She was NOT going to fall for Wes the manwhore...right? Possibly. Damn it. She wanted to scream in frustration. She reached the familiar path when something made her stop. Something made her look up from the ground. And there he was. With her. Madison. SERIOUSLY?! She was furious and sad and pissed off and heart broken all at once. And he was kissing her like she showed him! Jerk. Wanker. Knob. Jackass. Dickhead. She was rhyming off all her names for him in her mind. She opened her mouth then closed it. What good what it do anyway? Madison would just put out another shameful video of her, and she'd go into hiding forever. She was staring too long. She knew she had to leave. Almost as if he sensed her, he looked over at her.
"B?" he called, squinting. Madison was huffing, clearly annoyed at the interruption. "Is that you?"
"Nope," Bianca said. She spun on her heel and started running. Oh man. She really needed to get back in shape.
"B! Wait up!"
Was he seriously following her right now?! Crap. She couldn't out run him. She knew that.
"Wesley!" Madison was shouting now. "What are you doing? Get back here NOW!"
"B!"
I'm not listeniiiiing! Bianca was thinking to herself. Faster, faster, go, go, go! She had reached the road.
"B! Come on!" Wes was yelling behind her. "Let me explain!"
Explain what? That you used my teachings on that stupid bitch?! Nuh uh. Not gonna let you explain. Bianca was feeling so, so stupid right now. Of course Wes wasn't into her. Why would he even want to be? She was almost to her car.
"BEEEEE!" Wesley's voice sounded strange. She turned around to face him while still running, and then it all went black.
Wesley
OhmyGodohmyGodohmyGod. Wes was freaking out. He just watched Bianca get hit by a car. A car! A freaking car! It was like slow motion, her body going up onto the windshield and then over and off the end onto the road. She didn't move.
"WESLEY!" Madison had caught up to him now. "What the hell are you doing chasing her?! She's nothing! Do you hear me?"
"She might be dead," Wes said, pointing. "Shut up and call 911."
"What?! No! You do it!" she shrieked, seeing Bianca's lifeless form.
"Madison!" Wes shouted. "Do it NOW!" He sped over to B. The driver hadn't even stopped. Wes was trying very hard to remember any detail about the car. It had happened so fast. Was it black? No. Red? No. White? Aarghh! His memory was failing him. He had nothing.
"B, B, B," he was chanting, sliding across the pavement to her. "Don't be dead. Please don't be dead!" He felt for vitals. He panicked when he didn't feel anything, but then there it was. Very, very faint, but it was there.
"Madison!" he shouted, seeing her still standing there.
"Right!" she said, pulling out her phone. Honestly what was WRONG with her? Wes almost hated Madison in this moment. He pulled off his hoodie and wrapped it around Bianca. He wasn't sure why. Maybe cos it just seemed the only thing he could do. He knew he couldn't move her for broken bones.
"They're coming!" Madison called to him. She wasn't about to go any closer than she had to.
"Don't you die on me, Bianca Piper, you hear me?" Wes said to her. "This is my fault. All my fault. I know you're agreeing with me right now. You have to be." He heard sirens finally after what seemed like a lifetime. Madison backed away, unsure of what else to do. The paramedics rushed over.
"What happened, son?" one asked him.
"She was hit by a car," Wes said. "I saw it happen. The guy didn't stop..."
"Another hit and run," the medic said, shaking his head. "I'd swear it's becoming like a serial killer situation." Wes watched as they gently put Bianca on the stretcher, hooking her up to equipment.
"Can I come?" he asked as they loaded her into the ambulance.
"Are you family?"
"No."
"Then I'm sorry."
"But...!"
The doors closed in his face.
"Wes, come on. Let's go," Madison said, pulling at him. He yanked away. His best friend was possibly dying. He was not going home. The ambulance started to move. He made up his mind.
"WES!" Madison screamed as he started running after it. He was going with her whether they wanted him to or not.
Madison
Her boyfriend (well, sort of boyfriend) is an ass. A complete asshole. There he goes after that dumb DUFF instead of staying here and comforting her. The nerve! She clenched her fists with rage, but released them again. Let him go. It would get it out of his system. Maybe she would die.
Do you really want that? her inner voice asked. Did she? She thought about it. It wouldn't really affect her that much. It would help her audition tape for her reality show though. She paused. Was she really thinking this right now? She pulled out her phone.
"Mom?" she said into it. "Can you come get me? I'm scared."
Jess & Casey
"Are you feeling a weird vibe right now?" Jess asked Casey. They were studying together at Jess's place. Casey looked up at her, frowning.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know. I just feel...weird, like someone close to me is hurting or something," Jess went on.
"You're a weird one," Casey laughed. "That's a twin thing."
"A twin thing," Jess echoed. "Yea. I think you're right." She shivered. She still felt very unsettled, but she did her best to ignore it.
Bianca
Where the heck was she? Bianca felt like she was floating. It was still dark. She couldn't seem to open her eyes. She vaguely heard voices, but they were muffled and nonsensical. She definitely couldn't move.
Oh, this is bad, she thought. I hope Mom isn't too mad at me after this.
Dottie
She was just starting to wonder where her daughter was when she saw an ambulance fly past the house. She could have sworn a man was running behind it like a crazy person. It sort of looked like...Wesley? Wesley Rush? But why would he chase after a...?
"Oh my God," she said out loud. She grabbed her keys and ran for her car. There was only one reason Bianca's friend would be chasing after an ambulance. She tried calling Bianca one more time just in case as she got into her car. No answer.
"Shit!" Dottie swore. She threw the car in reverse and squealed out of the driveway. As she raced to catch up with them, she fought off the tears. Might be nothing. Might just be a broken leg. They call ambulances for that, right? An allergic reaction? She shook her head. She refused to think the worst at this moment. It wasn't going to help her at all.
Wesley
His lungs were on fire. He wasn't even sure how he was still managing to keep up. Probably because it was pure adrenaline. When they finally arrived at the hospital, he went bursting through the doors panting and gasping for air. He received some concerned looks from staff.
"Fine, I'm fine," he said, waving his hand. He bent down, holding his knees with his hands. His heart was going to explode, he was sure of it. He saw the medics bring her in on the fly. He hurried after them.
"Sir? Sir!" a nurse called. "You can't go in there."
"I have to..."
"Sit tight," she ordered. "She has to go to surgery." He knew that. Of course he did. He sat down just as Bianca's mother came flying through the doors.
"Wesley!" she shouted, approaching him. "What's happened?!"
"How did you...?"
"Saw you through my window. Now tell me what's going on!" Dottie demanded. Wes told her as best as he could. Dottie cried out in anguish. She ran to the nurse's station.
"I have to see her. She's my daughter!" she was yelling.
"Ma'am, we need you to calm down," the nurse was saying.
"I CAN'T BLOODY WELL CALM DOWN!" Dottie shrieked. "MY DAUGHTER IS IN THERE AND MAY BE DYING I HAVE TO SEE HER!"
"She's in surgery," the nurse said calmly. "You can't see her until it's over." Dottie was shaking and looked like she was going to reach over and slap the smug look of the nurse's face when Wes went and took her arm.
"Come on Mrs. P," he said. "Let's just sit and wait together." Dottie gave the nurse one final look that would have made anyone hide under their desk. The nurse looked like she wanted to.
"I don't understand," Dottie was saying over and over. "She was with Toby! How did she end up with you?" Wes again did his best to explain. He left out the fact that B was upset she saw him with Madison. Why stir up the drama? Eventually Dottie went looking for a doctor, so Wes was by himself. He kept wringing his hands. He didn't even care if his parents worried about him, as if they would. He would stay here all night if he had to. It was his B. She needed to know that he was here and that he cared. He really did care. He didn't remember falling asleep. Everything just seemed so surreal. Perhaps it was all just a dream.
My first DUFF fanfic. (I don't own either the book or the movie or any of the characters). I am basing this from the movie mostly. I have been playing around with this idea for a while. I hope it's received positively. I'm always nervous when I first put out a story. I await at least two reviews before I post the next chapter!
