Almost Lost It

Blake grabbed the wheel and swerved back just enough to slide side ways and hit the railing. Heather was white in the face and Blake held her. Ben pulled over and got out of the car.
Walsh: I have go the authorities and there on there way.
Heather: I have to go handle this.
Blake: No! You almost tried to kill yourself because of him. Heather, listen to me.
Blake let her go then held her arms looking into her eyes.
Blake: What he did to you and what he is still doing is not right. He is not going to get away with it and he is not going to chase you forever. He will get caught and it is not worth loosing you. I can’t loose you.
Blake let go and grabbed a hold of the wheel. Heather stayed where she was not moving; face still white and full with tears. Just as soon as Ben reached the car Blake floored it and drove off. That gave them some time.
Heather: Thank you, I needed that.
Blake: No problem.
Walsh: Drive till you see a police office, we will be safe there.
