It's finally summer and my parents want to take me across California for the summer. I already had my bags packed and we loaded up the car.

We were planning on going north and then back. I was excited to finally get out of town. I didn't have to worry about bullies.

After packing the car we started our drive. It was now night time and I was awake with my dad while my mom was sleeping. We stopped to get gas and I went in and got a snack and Energy drink. My dad was letting me drive because he was tired and I was wide awake. We get back in and I start driving. The road was pretty much dead. Just a few semi trucks on the road. My dad fell asleep soon after we left and I plugged my headphones into my phone and listened to random music. I hear the honk of a car and everything goes black.

It's finally summer and I was home with my parents. We were all up and eating breakfast and the news comes on. The headline was

Los Angeles teen seriously injured in car crash

17 year old Y/n l/n and her family were involved in a serious car accident. An on coming semi slammed into the side of their car just outside of town. Hitting the driver side. Witnesses say the teen was driving when the accident occurred. It appears that the semi driver was under the influence and lost control of his vehicle and slammed into the sedan. Mr. & mrs. Y/l/n got out of the crash with just scratches. Y/n on the other hand is in critical condition. We will have more information soon. Stay tuned.

Beep. Beep. Beep

What is that beeping sound?!

I open my eyes to see a white room. I look around and see my parents next to me asleep. I can't talk. I slowly grab my moms hand and squeezes it causing my mom to shoot her head up.

Oh my gosh, y/n! She says and my dad wakes up.

I'll go get the doctor says your dad

Your dad and the doctor come in and he asks you questions. He gives you a iPad to respond.

Well y/n you are lucky to be alive. Would you like to know your injuries? Asks the doctor

You say yes

Well you have a brain damage from impact. You have already had two surgeries and your healing nicely. You leg was crushed in the crash . You have a scar on the left side of your head and you also have a scar on your left side from just under your arm to your pants line. You will be able to walk but you will need to wear a special brace. You will also walk with a limp. You had internal bleeding and you were in a coma for a month. He says

You try to take it all in.

We have physical therapy for you. Soon you will be able to get back to your normal self.

I got out of the rehabilitation center last Friday and my parents weren't excited about me going to school so soon. They think I need to "heal more" it's been 3 months and I'm still the same as a month ago.  I'm so tired of having to stay at home all the time. So I'm excited about staring school tomrroow.

Today's the first day of school  and we're going into our junior year. I'm excited to start classes again. As much as I love summer it's fun to be with friends.
