My mother’s funeral was on June 10 at 8:56 a.m. It was her birthday in fact. We all stayed for hours and hours. We invited our whole family and all of our friends. She would have wanted it this way. On the way from the funeral, I had thought about what my life is going to be like now. It was about 3:58 p.m. when we did leave. My mom was gone and I was gone as well. In the car I was in my own row. The back row in fact. My dad was in front with the driver, my brothers in the row in front of me, and the twins were behind dad. This was a long and silent car ride. Then I heard it. When I heard him, he shouted, “Car!” I looked to my right and boom. We were hit by a speeding car. Well, I was hit. Hard. My row was knocked off of the rest of the car. 

My ears were ringing and my arm was hurting badly. I couldn’t see anything. Everything went black. Then I heard the voice again. “Oh no… Oh no no no!” they said. I started to cough and opened my eyes. The part of the car I was trapped in was on it’s side. I was in the left seat. The right side had combusted. I saw my brother Axton reaching towards me. Axel and his seat were in front of me. Pure luck they didn’t go with the back, I guess. Thankfully, they forgot to buckle up, I guess. He grabbed my shirt and pulled me out. Dad was next to Axton and Axel was holding the twins, Alex and Alexa, in the back.

“Ash, are you okay?” my dad said. I could barely hear him but I nodded my head slowly. “His arm,” Axel gasped. Dad looked down and gagged. I couldn’t look at my arm. I couldn’t look to see what my dad had seen if it made him gag. My vision went weird. It was glitching still, just like when I woke up. “Call for help again! That bastard fucked up Ash! His arm is a bloody mess!” my dad said. “There, I glitched the system for you to be alive. Don’t die on us again kid. Glitching the system is not what I should be doing,” I heard the voice say. I started to cough again and my vision went black. “Fuck, fuck, fuck. Ash, please…stay awake please… I can’t lose you, too,” he said. I blacked out due to loss of blood.
