Pieces of Me Quotes

“The sun isn’t in my rearview but dead center in my line of sight as I take the turn that will get me to my place. I flip the visor down. My fingers shake from the memory that flashes in my mind, coming at me any time, day or night. Bright lights in the darkness. Twin beams. Headlights aimed at me. I’m drunk. Dazed. Not too certain I’m seeing what I’m seeing. I wave my arms to get the driver’s attention. Does the person see me? The car drives at me. Oh, God, oh God. I run and stumble in my high heels. Heels I’d bought specifically for this night out. Hulking metal slams into my body. Sharp pains. Bone breaking. I’m thrown in the air and hit the ground with a “whoosh” from my lungs. I gasp for breath and see stars behind my eyelids. I’m going to die.”

“Who knows? Perhaps your love will make me forget all I wish not to remember.”
