Because of You

This is All Wrong

     "Acaya grace, get up." Mom's voice said. My eyes blinked open to whiteness all around me at first then my vision focused and my mom was standing at the end of my bed. "Road trip time, remember? We're heading out in 40 minutes." Mom reminded. I laid back down, putting my pillow over my face and groaning. "Don't make me send your dad and brother to get you up." She shouted as she walked down the stairs. I got up, my mind flashbacked to when they got me up, they filled a bucket full of ice water and dumped it on me, it was freezing...I'll get them back though.
I walk to my bathroom,
"Ugh, my hair." I frown, letting it down. I shake my head a little, my hair falls back into its normal place.
I took a quick shower then changed.

    //20 minutes later//

     I walked downstairs,
"Hey, she's finally up." Mason joked, he was sitting down, eating cereal. I rolled my eyes walking past him, pushing his head down a little, he smirked. Duke was sitting on the floor in the kitchen, he wagged his tail and greeted me. I crouched down and pet him, scratching behind his ears, his tail wagged. I gave him a quick kiss before standing back up.
"Good morning honey." Dad greeted.
"Hi dad." I say dull, honestly, I know my parents try to be good, but I'm not that type of person for cheeriness and all that other stuff. I grab a bagel and put cream cheese on it, and sit down next to Mason.

//20 minutes later//

We're all loaded up into the car , and mom drives down the driveway. I immediately pulled out my phone, and put in my earbuds, listening to Love Me Harder , By Ariana Grande. I sit back and rest my head back on the head rest and close my eyes.
I wake up, as my earbuds are pulled out of my ears,
"We're at a rest stop." Mason said. I sat up and unbuckled and got out.
"How long have we been driving?" I ask.
     "Eh, about 3 hrs I would say." Mason replied, I nod.
     We stop later at Taco Bell for lunch, and I'm starving by then.
     20 minutes later we're on the road again, I stretch my legs a little in the car and yawn. I peer over Mason's shoulder a little, he's texting a girl.
      "Oooo, who's she?" I point out. Mason looks back, surprised, but not startled.
      "No one, just a friend." He explains.
      "Uh-huh." I reply sarcastically. I lean back and listen to music again, while Mason goes back to his phone. I can hear mom and dad talking up in front, and the air conditioning making a quiet, distant sound. It's kinda soothing, because before I knew it, I was asleep.

     I wake up, there's screeches of car tires against the paved road, my eyes open, and everything is spinning, I'm dizzy. I scream, and at that moment it feels like I'm the only one who knows what's happening. My vision is so bad I can't see anybody, anything for that matter, it's just a vision of blurriness.
      I grip the arm rests tightly, the windows shatter and I feel glass that's cut me, the airbag goes off and then I pass out.

My whole body aches, hurts. Feels like a whole bunch of needles are stabbing me at the moment. I open my eyes, there's a lamp on. My aunt Katherine is here and uncle Matt, I'm so confused as to why they are here.
"Hey Acaya, how ya feeling?" Aunt Katherine asks softly.
"What happened?" I ask. She pauses and sighs,
"Acaya..." She tears up, I study her face, her cheeks are tear stained, and her mascara has smeared just bit. My heart beats faster, and thoughts are racing through my head.
"Aunt Katherine?" I ask.
"You're parents....are dead." She finally answers, and that's when all my emotions crashed. I cried, and my uncle came up and hugged me, stroking my head. I hiccuped in sobs,
"Y-y-you're lying." I gasp in tears.
"Shhhh, Acaya just relax okay." Uncle Matt says. But I don't, I'm angry and sad, and so confused. "Where's Mason?" I ask.
"He's unconscious right now, they think he's gonna pull through, but we don't know for sure." Aunt Katherine replies. I calm down a notch just a little, Mason was all that mattered right now. "The doctor said you broke you right leg and left arm, and you have, of course. Lots of cuts, and bruises, but he says you're very lucky." Aunt Katherine explained.
"This is not luck Aunt Katherine." I say stiffly, angry at the moment. She doesn't say anything back, but they both leave.
I've cried so hard, I think I've lost my touch how to feel anything but hurt. My heart feels like it's bleeding out. The nurse brings me food, I look at the clock, it's 5:42pm,
"I'm not hungry." I say, monotone.
"Oh, I bet you are. But sweetie, if you don't want to eat, then don't eat." The nurse replies then leaves in a fast pace walk. I stare at the plate of mash potatoes, corn and steak. I'm not hungry, I'm just...empty.

30 minutes later....

Aunt Katherine comes into the room,
"You're brother is awake." She smiles happily. I'm relieved, and smile slightly, but then it goes back to a straight face.
"I want to see him." I demand.
"I'll get the doctor." Aunt Katherine replies and leave again.
She comes back 5 minutes later with him,
"I'm sorry Ms. Burns, you're gonna have to see your brother tomorrow." He explains.
"What do you mean? He's the only family I have left." I raise my voice. We argue back and forth for at least 5 minutes, until the doctor finally makes it work.
They help me into a chair that's in Mason's room. He looks awful, cut up, bruised,
"Hey." He says meekly and smiles a little.
"Hi." I replied.
"I heard you were a little defiant again with the doctor." He grinned alittle.
"Mason. They're gone." I say. There's a long pause of silence.
"I know." He whispers.
