I could feel Rick's eyes on me the whole time as I drove. I already knew what he was thinking about, but I hoped that he didn't try to start any mess in this car, especially while my kids were with me. The weather was terrible outside, making it extremely hard for me to see. "Where you get that cash from that I saw in your purse?" Rick asked me. I cursed myself for leaving the money that Antonia had given me the other day in my purse. When we had gotten to the register so that I could pay for the groceries, I reached into my purse to retrieve my EBT card, and Rick caught a glimpse of the fifty-dollar bill that I had lying in there. "Antonia gave it to me, okay?" I told him, hoping that would be the end of this conversation. "So, you hiding money from me now, Gina? Is that what we're doing?" he asked me. "Rick, I'm not hiding anything from you because this isn't yours to begin with! The girls are going on a field trip next week, and it's to pay for it!" I yelled at him. Right now, the rain had begun to pick up even harder and loud sounds of lightning and thunder were rumbling outside. "I don't give a fuck about no damn field trip! Give me that money!" Rick yelled, trying to reach over my lap. I slapped his hands away, which caused me to swerve in the next lane and a car to blow the horn at me. "Rick, can you stop, please! You're scaring my babies!" I yelled at him. It happened so quick. I was so distracted that I ended up running the red light and it was too late to brake because at this point, the eighteen wheeler came crashing into the right side of my little beat up Honda Civic which didn't stand a chance. All I remember was looking in the rearview mirror and I noticed that neither Allison nor Ciara was in a seatbelt. It took seconds and their little bodies went flying out the front window and the truck had pretty much crushed into Rick and I, leaving everything to turn to black.
