The Girl in White

The Accident

"Look who decided to show up!" said Jimmy in a happy voice. " Hey, Christen I thougt you told me Emily wasn't coming." "Well I guess she changed her mind." (Christen was the friend who had invited Emily.) There were two other people didn't know. John and Sady. Jimmiy had "borrowed" a red mustang. They all hopped in ready to go. Jimmy and Christen were in the front while John,Sady, and Emily were in the back.

The mountain was steep and had very narrow roads. No one drove up here because of all the accidents, but Emily didn't see the big deal they were more then half way up and perfectly safe. They were going eighty at least and there was a sharp turn up ahead. "Hey Jimmy maybe you shuld slow down." called John from the back."We'll be fine called Jimmy. "I think I Agree." said Emily. "Don't worry we'll be fi....." That's all Emily remembered before everything went black.

Emily awoke with a pounding headache. Everything was so loud and bright. She could start to make out the voice of a lady or was it a man? It was a lady. She was telling Emily to not go back to sleep and focus on her voice. The lady talked about random stuff like hair,socks,shoes, nail polish or was she just imagining that. The thing was all she wanted to do was go to sleep so her head and the reast of her body wouldn't hurt so much. Sleep, it sounded like heaven.Heaven, if she died right now would she go to heaven? 

Thens she heard another voice, a familiar voice, or voices she couldn't tell. "Mom is that you?" Emily's voice came out raspy and it hurt all over just to speak."let her mother come talk to her it will keep her from falling into a coma!" yelled the lady who had been talking about nail polish. "Okay sweety focus on me focus on my voice. No going to sleep." Emily's mother soothed. "But I'm so tired." Emily coughed out. "I know sweety, I know, but if you go to sleep you'll miss the fireworks." Emily loved fireworks. "When are they? Are they soon? Where am I?" 

Emily was coming to the realization that she didn't know where she was. It all rushed back to her, and it became harder to stay awake but now it was her mission. "Mom what happened to the others? Are they okay?" She barely got it out but she had to know. "She's going back under!" called a man from behind Emily. "They're fine Emily they're fine." Emily's mother was a terrible liar. "Oka...." Everything went dark, again.

"Mom... are you... there." Emily's voice wasn't as raspy and most of the pain was gone."Yes honey I'm here, I'm here." Emily's mother was crying now. Not out of fear or sadness but out of joy."What are you so happy about?" Emily asked with a smile knowing exactly how close to death she had come. Her mother laughed. "That your grounded for the rest of your life but now your going to have locks on both doors and windows." Her mother tried being strict but it didn't work."I think I'm okay with that." They both laughed agiain.

"Where's Andy and dad?"Emily asked. "At church having a service for you and your friends." Emily's mother was going to say something else but decided against it. "What mom?I almost died what could be worse then that?" Emily's mom was about to answer but she was interrupted.

"Please don't almost died ever again!" Jonah said as he walked in.
