The difference between us

Prologue

3rd POV
It was raining in the small town of Forks, Washington as the Swan family drove home from visiting Damon's older brother Charlie and his daughter Bella who just turned 18 yesterday. They had dropped off a birthday present before she left to speak with her boyfriend about an accident at her birthday party last night.

None of them liked Bella, but put up with her for Charlie's sake. The family was riding home in the charcoal gray minivan with Damon driving and Rosemarie, his wife, was in the passenger seat talking to her eldest daughter, Evelyn, about her college and part time job at the diner with Cora, Charlie's girlfriend. Evelyn sat in the middle row with her youngest sister, Madelyn, next to her sound asleep. In the third row sat the twins, Caitlyn and Marilyn, who where holding hands and softly talking to one another.

They were just about to pull into their driveway when a highway truck appeared. The driver had been drinking and passed out behind the wheel, and the truck was curving towards them at high speed with the driver's foot pressed heavily on the gas.

The truck crashed into the back of the Swans' van and sent them straight through their house!

Evelyn awoke sometime later to her dead parents. Her mother had hit her head on the dashboard and had been smacked back into her headrest by an in table found in their living room that had gone through the windshield and cracked her skull. Her father had been impaled by a plank of wood that must've been used to stabilize the house and went straight through the driver's seat and into Madelyn!

Madelyn was now awake and sobbing as she had a piece of the wooden rod embedded into her stomach pinning her to her seat. The placement put it near her appendix which wouldn't be considered bad if Evelyn could remember where the veins and arteries were located so she couldn't estimate the blood loss from the gaping hole in her baby sister. Evelyn went to look back at Caitlyn and Marilyn only to cry out in pain as she realized that she had two smaller rods impaling her to the seat.

One in her right side and the other in her shoulder. Her legs were also pinned by her mother's seat. Hearing her big sister's cry of pain Madelyn whimpered "Evie?!" Evelyn rushed to placate her younger sister "It's okay, Maddie, everything is going to be okay. Just stay still I'll call for help" Madelyn whimpered out an 'okay' as she put all her faith and trust into her big sister. Evelyn fished out her cellphone which was cracked and dialed 911.

The phone was on speaker phone and was immediately answered "911 what's your emergency?" A feminine voice answered "My name is Evelyn Swan. I'm at 4829 Argenton Road and my family and I were just in a car accident" Evelyn said as calmly as she could trying desperately to be the strong big sister for Madelyn's sake, but there was still a slight tremor in her voice.

"Okay, ma'am, is anyone injured?" The woman asked, Evelyn swallowed before she shakily said said "Both our parents are dead and me and my youngest sister are pinned to our seats by stabilizing beams. I can't see my other two sisters but they aren't responding, I think they got knocked out" the line went silent for a moment before the female spoke again "Evelyn....I'm so sorry. Don't worry, I've sent ambulances and firefighters to your location, they'll be there shortly. Is your youngest sister conscious?"

Madelyn called out and said "Yes! I'm awake!" "Good, what's your name sweetie?" The woman asked "Madelyn" the girl called out "Okay, Madelyn, my name is Genesis. I need you and your sister to do something for me. I need you both to stay awake and try to wake up your other sisters. Don't move but call out for them, okay?" "Okay" both girls responded "In the mean time I'm going to be on the line with you, but on mute. I'll try to contact your family members to meet you at the hospital. Is there anyone I mind that we can call?"

"We only have our uncle!" Madelyn called out and Evelyn continued "Charlie Swan. He's the sheriff of Forks police department" "Okay, I'm calling him now. Try to wake up your sisters" Evelyn and Madelyn proceeded to call out for their sisters who woke up dazed as the paramedics arrived.

Madelyn and Evelyn were given morphine before they passed out anyway from the pain of having the rods removed.

Madelyn and Evelyn woke up in the same room hours later only to find out that their sisters were alive but injured and their stupid cousin had gone missing for five hours in the woods because her boyfriend dumped her.
