Death

:1:

Death. It's something that accrues everyday thousands of people experience it but most families don't experience it that often maybe every 5 years or so, someone in the family will die, not for my family you see they're all risk takers so in about the past 5 years at least 20 people in my family have died but 18 have been brought into the family twins on the way as the saying goes in my family "if one dies forget about it, you cant bring them back just bring a total different sole into the family" I always used to laugh about that until it was my father and mother's turns.

Death 1 25 November 2010:
Adrian Stevenson was a race car driver he had dreamed his whole life to go to the state nationals and this was his time.
I remember standing near the sharp corner waiting for the race to start I was only 12 at the time, I saw the race start and looked for my dads car there it was good old number 5 he choose that number because it was my favourite, he went around the corner and then nothing I. saw. nothing I waited for 7 minutes exactly for either his car to drive off or him to appear from the smoke like in the movies, I waited and I waited nothing, when the smoke cleared I saw flames and everyone around me climbed the fence and jumped over, while I stood frozen in terror just waiting to see him limp away with his big bright smile but they couldn't find him.
It took the ambulance and fire truck about 12 minutes to get from the other side of the the racetrack, they put the fire out and found him they pulled him out of the fully smashed car and there he was his suit was black his helmet broke off and there was nothing no pulse and no breathing he was dead, I didn't guess this from where I was i standing someone told me to go see him and helped me over the fence, I bent down to see if he was alive but he wasn't I didn't cry I just stood up and refused to leave him.
At the funeral I didn't stand up and say anything I just sat there I didn't stand by the coffin I just asked to go home, we went home after they laid his coffin 6ft in the ground just like the other dead members of my family this was normal for me I didn't know any different and I wasn't sure if I wanted to.

Death 2 17th January 2013:
After begging Lucy Stevenson my very pregnant mother of two to take me out for ice cream because I would then be fine with having two new sisters she did, why I asked I don't know I mean she could have popped any minute and we were supposed to be at home doing nothing just waiting for the most painful day of my life where me a fifteen year old boy who never listened in health class was supposed to help my mother deliver two babies because her partner said no to letting her stay in the hospital and I couldn't drive so it would have been up to me but that day never came.
We were driving down the road on a cold winters day after it had snowed the day previously and the truck was supposed to stop at the corner but it slipped on black Ice I somehow survived because I was in the back on the other side to the drivers side the truck practically took out the whole front of the car including my mother, but that's what people who saw the accident said all I knew was my mum and I were talking about ice cream flavours and then I woke up in hospital with nothing but a scratch and the fact I passed out because of what happened and how cold it was. My family wasn't really happy with the funeral because they had to see the twins go, not my mum the fucking twins.
A while afterwards I was living with my step father he was an awesome guy but could hold a grudge I never listened to him but he always said it was my fault she's dead and that I should have died not her and the twins and he abused me and pretty much tried to kill me but one day my grandmother walked in because she heard yelling and screaming and saw what happened and took me away from the asshole quicker than you can say yay.

Present 17th January 2015:
My family say that I need to hurry up and "find a mate and have kids" because apparently it's gonna be my time soon but I'm gonna prove them wrong I have got to prove them wrong I am not going to be the 21st person to die I'm making sure my grandfather dies before me but as I'm standing where I am, thinking about all the bad things I don't think that's gonna happen.
Where am I standing you're probably thinking well this is suicidal drop 3 of the teenagers from my family have all jumped here because they also think the saying is stupid and don't want the "tradition" to carry on so they took their own lives while my family forgot about them and just fucked their partners and got pregnant. Anyways this is actually the old abandoned meat works of my home town it's about 10 stories high so it's the highest and most secluded point in the tiny town.
I look down at the drop "wait why the fuck am I up here?" I look back up and over the small town the cold wintery air causing my hair to fly in all different directions my long fringe no longer a fringe but a mess flying in the wind, I felt like I was on top of the world and if I fell no one would ever find me or know it was me which was fine with me but I don't think this would be the right time since right now the two twins were being born and today is the anniversary of my mothers death and I should be crying and upset about this shit but I'm not, I also could continue living until I was 18 which isn't that far away. As I look over the small town wearing only jeans and a jumper which isn't the ideal clothing for this weather.
I stood for a few more minutes just looking at the big blue sea that was right in front of my eyes "WHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?" I stepped back off the ledge and away from it still looking at the big sea. I heard a gasp behind me, I swung around and saw nothing I scoffed "whatever" I started scuffing my feet around kicking a stone near a big metal air vent causing it to make a high pitched ping, I heard someone screamed and then I saw the top of someones head, I quietly and slowly walked around the air vent to see a beautiful girl with long strawberry blonde hair covering her ears and she was hunched over "are you okay?" I put my hand cautiously on her back and she spun around so quick I hardly saw her move.
"Don't touch me" her hands still over her ears and her face was scrunched up I recognised her but I didn't know where from
"Okay, okay, I'll back up and then you can relax" I backed up making sure she heard my foot steps, her face relaxed as she opened one of her eyes and she stood up completely showing off her figure, I couldn't tell what colour her eyes were whether they were hazel or a really dark blue either way they were beautiful, as I looked at the other features on her face I realised who it was.
