I see a child, get in a crash, maybe I should be like Eathen, and help.

Wait wait wait, let me restart! Hi I'm Ella Jonez! I have long brown hair and eyes! I'm 15 years old in this story, now I'm 16 turning 17! And this is my hectic life story!

"AHH" I scream when I wake up from my nightmare,

"I've been having them for weeks now!" I told my unconcerned mother, but she did nothing.

"Hurry up!" She replies to me "we've got to get to Darwin by next week!" She says while eating her toast.

I go to pack my bags, clothes, toys, my phone and I cannot ever forget my keychain. This keychain was given to me by my nanna when she died. I've never gone anywhere without it since!

"Come on Ella Bella! Get in the car!" I hear my parents call out to me.

"Coming" I scream as I drop my lip balm on the desk and run to the car. I place my bags in the back and buckle in! I was so excited! A while later my dad turns on his songs. It's so boring. I mean who wants to listen to music from like Elvis Presley or some old person from like 1970! I just want to listen to my music! Luckily, I bought my headphones. I played "step on me 10 hour ver" and "all too well 10 min ver". Later it starts to rain heavily. I was petrified of storms and rain!

"You're gonna be ok Ella! It's just rain" my mum says but I know that it's not just rain because it starts to hail, and I thought I saw a lightning strike.

"Ella have you got your seatbelt on?" My mother asked me and that's the moment I knew something was wrong. I nod my head trying not to talk so my dad can concentrate on driving. I go through my bag and try to find my keychain. It was under all my things. Once I got it, I held it close to my chest, closing my eyes, it still smelt like my grandma's old house, before she died. I thought about her last words to me and how I could've said it back. Her last words to me were

"I love you honey!" But I was rushing off so I just said "bye!" She died a few days after that.

It started to hail really badly and at this point I was really scared, like REALLY scared. "Slow down Lucas!! It's getting super dangerous" my mum says, holding onto the car.

"I can't see anything! I'm pulling over!" My dad says stopping the car

"Dad watch out!" I say seeing a truck coming our way really fast.

"DAD WATCH OUT!" I scream and he finally looks up

"OH SHI-" he screams before the truck hits us. Everything went black, my ears were ringing, my whole body hurt, I felt like dying. It was the worst experience of my entire life. When I woke up there was a boy, poking me.

"Hello, are you awake? Are you ok?" He asked me.

"What? Where am I? Where are my parents? Are we in Darwin? What happened! WHO ARE YOU!!" I say crying. I stick my hand in my pocket to find my keychain, and luckily it was there. I looked at my legs to see blood and cuts everywhere, they were on my arms too. "I'm Eathan" the boy says smiling "I'm here to help you, don't worry!" Eathen says with a warm smile. He seemed untrustworthy , which he wasn't.

"I don't know you!! Where are my parents!!" I say slowly standing up before falling again. I didn't trust him, but I really needed help.

" I'm Ella..can you maybe.. Help me walk?" I say awkwardly. He grabs my shoulders and helps, we walk over to a house.
