I sat down and started feeling light headed. An EMT walked over to me.

"Are you okay? Oh lord. Your head. Come with me" the man said pulling me up.

I touched the side of my head and there was blood running down my face. I started shaking again at the sight of the blood and then I started feeling the pain.

The man cleaned up my injury and bandaged it, telling me it's not bad, its just bleeding so much because of what's going on.

A woman comes out of the ambulance with the worst look on her face.

"I'm so sorry." She said sitting next to me. "They're trying everything but when we came she had already lost so much blood she was practically de- um gone. We've taken the glass out and stopped the bleeding but when she hit the wheel" she paused choking up a little "wh-when she hit the wheel she smashed the bones in her nose and some around her left eye."

"So-so you're telling me this is it. There's nothing else you guys can do." I said "why didn't you take her to the hospital in the first place?!" I yelled.

"Miss the nearest hospital is over an hour away. We couldn't take her there. The only thing that we could try to do now is a face reconstruction surgery for her nose and a blood transfusion, but she has the rarest type of blood. Even then there is an extremely small chance it will work" The woman replied.

"What about me? Can I give blood?" I asked crying but no tears were coming out. I guess I've used them all.

"No we've checked your records, you're B positive. We're sorry. I'm so sorry for your loss. Truly I am. What would you like us to do?" She asked

"Can I see her one last time?" I asked feeling a drop fall on my pants. I guess I do still have tears left.

"Of course." She said bringing me over to the ambulance were my lifeless mother lay.

I spent a few minutes in there alone sobbing onto her chest hoping that maybe my tears would bring her back. But nothing worked.

They informed me that they would bring her body down to North Carolina and me and my aunt could organize a funeral. Knowing my aunt, she must have already started.

The cops offered to bring me down to the house along with the few things we had in the car.

All I could think was why now? Why my mother? Why? But I know you shouldn't question God.

In a moment like this I need Axel and Serena more than anything.
