Awake

VIII

"Hey sis."

"Hi,Colton what's wrong?"

"I...I need you to call 911."

"What!Why?Whats...whats wrong?"

"I...Im in my car there...there was an accident,call 9...911 and..."

"Colton!

"Im...I'm at...at the bridge."

As fast as I can I hang up and call 911.They say they will be there in time but you can never trust people.Then I remember my parents and call them.My mom goes to the hospital will my dad picks me up.I get ready then wait by the front door locking it on my way out.My dad get here at 6:30 and we drive to the hospital,but I'm worried there is so much panic in his eyes that we might crash to.Thankfully we didn't.We get to the hospital and when I say my brother I nearly fainted.He didn't even look human with blood everywhere,bruises that are purple and black,and so many other things that I don't want to describe.The doctor said that he will make it but he will have to have about three to four surgeries.My mom had to leave the room cause she was crying so much and my dad was talking to the doctor about the cost and how long will it be till Colton gets out of the hospital.They said it would be at least two months.By that time it's 8:00 and I haven't had breakfast so I walk home and have breakfast.Best thing that I have had in awhile.

As I wait at my house I feel the urge to think of them.No.You can't.YOU CANT.I do it anyway.Cecilia and Tyson.What happened to them.I know they where real.I know they where.Then all my thoughts are pushed away when the doorbell rings.

It's Gaby.We became friends again last week.Shoulder length hair,brown eyes,tan skin,goody goody personality when she wants to,ha good friend,good friend.

"Um why aren't you dressed?"

"For...?"

"The park.Remember?"

"Um...um...ya,let me go get changed."

I walk out the door and Gaby talked me to a unfamiliar part of the neighborhood and leads me to a desolated park only thought.What is this places.Its simple,one yellow slide,three swings,tunnel,and monkey bars. After an hour,I'm assuming,when we are done and my parents still aren't home.Since my school had four day weekends I still had two days some go get Gaby clothes and she is going to spend the night ,as we talk she asks me about my family and since I made up my whole freakin life I really didn't know much so I pushed the question away,asked her about other stuff.Before the sun goes down we go to the store to get some food when we come back there is a package on our front door with a note it says

KEEP IT I DONT WANT IT
FEED IT EVERYDAY AND ITS NAME IS ARTEMIS AND BEWARE

We had know idea what it was but we opened it anyway.
