[She's shaking so badly that she can barely speak. All she knows is that she probably shouldn't be alive. But she is, and she's also currently in shock. Her mangled arm is in intense pain, but her mind is blocking her from the worst of it. His voice registers with her, but it's hard to make sense out of what he's said.
The urge to protect the both of them is strong though. His suggestion that they go is met with a nod, Chrissy glancing down at her injured arm before she sobs once again. Oh god, this is bad. This isn't just a simple break. She's had those before in cheerleading. Even with as numb as she currently feels, with as much shock she's going through, she recognizes that.]
Drive me. [Her voice trembles and breaks, and she reaches for his hand with her good one.]
We can't stay here. It's not safe.
[If nothing else, she can protect him. Fear that the monster that attacked her in her own mind may actually show up in reality and hurt Eddie too is what drives her to try hurrying to the front door and out of the trailer to his van.
It doesn't register with her that this might possibly be the worst possible thing to ask him to do. That she's leading him into trouble instead of saving him. He's right, she knows that much. She needs to go to a hospital. And if anyone is going to take her, she only trusts him right now. After the way he's just saved her, he makes her feel safe.]
There's something out there that's chasing me. He wants to kill me, and I don't know why! I think he almost just did.
[Her explanation is rushed and done in between tears. But he deserves to know, even if she's not in the right place mentally to give full details.]
