When I got back to my house I ran down to my room, and rummaged through my boxes until I found the letter, along with a framed picture that my brothers gave me about a month before the accident.

Dear Megan,

We know that you don't know how much you mean to us, so we're going to tell you. You mean the world to us, and we would do anything for you. We can't even imagine how bored we would be without you. We wanted to let you know that you can come to us for anything, we're family, we are the trouble making trio. We love you soooooo much!

Love,

Jack, and Max

I smile, and feel a hot, steamy tear roll down my cheek. I wish that they were still here with me. I miss them, I don't want them to be gone. All of those thoughts remind me of the day of the accident.

I was walking home from school. I was very happy, because today had been the last day that I ever had to be in middle school. Next year I would be with Max, and Jack in the highschool.

I walked along the bumpy sidewalk as I heard a car horn go off, and soon after it the sound of two cars colliding. I ran towards the accident. My plan was to run right past it, but that changed when I saw my brothers black toyota camry in flames on the road.

I ran towards the car, shuting their names, but I was held back by a police officer. I tried to calm myself down. It could have been someone elses car, or maybe they got out. All those thoughts were dismissed by my brothers bodies being pulled out of the car. I shook the police officer off of me, and ran to the men who were carying my brothers. They sat them down on the grass, I frantically knelt next to them.

Max looked awful, he had burns and cuts across his face, and his eyes were closed. I looked at Jack who had a burn on his arm, and many more things I don't want to remember, things I blocked from my memory. I couldn't even tell what side of him was his head or feet.

Maybe it comes as a shock, but i didnt scream, nor did I cry. I was in complete shock, I couldn't feel my body.

"Megan?" Max's voice croaked.

"Max." I whispered, afraid that if I was any louder I would break down.

"Meg, I love you so much. Jack did too you know. I have never lied to you and I don't want to start now. I'm sorry, I'm not going to make it. I can feel myself going, but I had to say goodbye before I left." He whispered.

That's when I lost it. I screamed, and cried, yelling anything that came to mind. I can't remember half of it.

When I came out of my memory I threw the picture across the room. The frame shattered, as it hit the wall. I brought my knees to my chest, and breathed until I felt normal.

I looked at my alarm clock, and saw that it was ten thirty. In two days I started school again. In two days I have to pretend like nothing's wrong. I fell asleep as I thought about what school would be like.
