Mistakes I Made

Chapter 7

Most people never really think that something this bad could ever happen to them. You think this stuff only happens in movies. Well, boy was I wrong.
Blood, blood all I see is blood I have no idea whose blood it is but I know it's blood. Screams all I hear is screams terrible heartbreaking screams. I remember an officer talking to me but I do not know what he said. I was in so much pain I wanted to scream and cry out for help but nothing would come out of my mouth. Right before I lost consciousness I pictured the beautiful sunset I saw walking to the school. I felt at peace and finally everything went silent.
I wake up to the sound of machines and nurses poking at the veines in my arm. As I come to my senses I start to panic. Where are my friends? Are they ok? Are they dead? Those were the only thoughts running through my head.
A few hours passed and I was told nothing. "LUNA MY BABY!" My mother screams as she runs towards me. "Mom what's going on where are my friends?" I ask with desperation in my voice. Before my mom could answer my brother and my father came into the room. "I- I am sorry." I hesitantly say. "Baby now is not the time to discuss this we are all just happy you are safe." I had fallen back asleep due to all of the medication I was on when I heard one of the most devastated screams and cries. "NOOOO WHY, WHY MY CHILD!" At the moment I had no idea who the woman screaming was but I soon found out.
All of a sudden Taylor and Abby's parents walk in my room heartbroken . I take one look at their faces and my heart drops to my stomach. I can feel my breathing slowing down. They didn't even have to tell me that they died. I already knew just by how they were acting. "They died didn't they?" I ask already knowing the answer. "What about Celeste and Alex?" I add before they can respond. " Celeste is in a coma and the chances of her waking up are very slim. Alex was lucky like you and only suffered a few broken ribs, some broken bones and a concussion." Taylor's mom tells me. At this moment my world stopped. I had lost three of my best friends in one night. I feel the guilt building up even more. I can't help but think that I don't deserve to be alive right now. "I am so sorry. I- I.. we only wanted to celebrate the end of the year. I should have stood my ground and stopped it. Now they are dead,almost dead, or injured and it's my fault." I say with tears streaming down my face. They walk out without saying a word. I preferred they do that because I know if they forgave me it would be out of pity. It is the next day and the day that I will be talking to the cops about what happened.
