The accident

It was the Fourth Of July weekend, I was about 12 or 13 maybe even 11. My family were all taking a vacation down to Virginia Beach, Virginia it was nice down there so sunny we stayed there for about a week. I think it was on Friday my family and I all went to the beach. We played in the ocean for most of the day going out to see how far we could go without going under. Well as the little kids would stay at the shallow water or build sandcastles on the beach. The older kids and some of our aunts and uncles went out pretty far in the ocean as we would try staying above water as big waves would splash. After we all had our fun we would sit on the beach. As a young blonde hair woman maybe in her twenties came up and asked "Would you like your pictures took" we would say yes and get all our picture taken. We left the beach it was getting dark and we went to a place you can ride go carts my oldest brother lost his wallet with 80 dollars in it so somebody got lucky when they found it. But we went back to the beach to get our pictures from earlier in the day when the unexpected happened!! We were all crossing the crosswalk as my brother was hit by a SUV. He flung about 20 to 30 feet from where he was hit! He got right up but we ran to him and told him to stay down as an officer came on his bike he took me to the sidewalk. As I'm sitting there crying I keep saying "that's my brother , let me see him" I was upset the guy that hit him got out of the car he was mad his bumper had a dent because of my brother as he said "look what the damn kid did to my bumper!" I was enraged!! Furious!! As the ambulance arrived my dad and my brother Colton was heading for the hospital. I arrived with my uncle Gary, my brother Jason and my sister Breona. We sat in the waiting room it was so bad that I wouldn't even laugh when family guy was on. I went back and saw my brother I couldn't stop crying! I then went to my uncles camper and stayed with him. I found out the next morning Colton was.......alive but he barely survived over night. I was happy he was alive. He then was transferred to 3 different hospitals. But finally on Sunday we all went home. It was a long ride back but I was just happy that my brother was alive!! Now he does get emotional very easy now ever since the accident.
