Decisions

I don't even know what happened.

I was in the car with my mom and dad in the front and my two friends, Lexy and Max with me in the back.

I had my earphones in listening to music and looking at the scenery. We were on a mountain top that had freshly fallen snow and spruce trees everywhere you looked. It so beautiful it was almost like a dream.

We were there because my aunt had passed and left us her house. My aunt was very distant. She lived alone. She didn't want to communicate with another human being. I think I was the only person who actually communicated with her. We used to write letters to each other. She was my only living relative left. My parents never really talked about our family. I guess that is kind of why I wrote letters to my aunt.

I brought my best friends with my because I didn't want to be alone in the house of my dead aunt as my parents worked out all the paperwork.

"Emmalyn, what are you thinking about?" Lexy asks. Sounding a little bit concerned. "Oh nothing. Just looking at the scenery. It's so pretty here." I say in awe. "Yeah, the view is stunning." Max said.

We finaly got to the house and it felt like there was a certain feeling that clung to the air, but I couldn't place my finger on it. I got out of the car and looked at the house.

To say it was old would be an understatement. All of the paint was chipped and it was falling apart. I walked to the door and it was partly open. I went to go walk in the doorway then something happened. I don't know what but I look back at Lexy, Max, and my parents and it was like time froze. Everything stood still. It was scary but yet comforting. I felt free. Free fom the grasp of time. Free from the strains of life.

I walked around outside in amazement. I thought 'this should not happen, this is impossible'. But yet it was happening. Like when your dreaming and you know your dreaming but it still feels so real. But this was reality. I walk back to the house and when to go walk in and then everything went pitch black.

When I awoke I was in the car. And it was upside down. I look around and see the bodies of my parents in their seats in the front of the car. Then I look at the white snow around the car and see the bodies of my friends. "LEXY! MAX!" I scream. I struggle to get out of the car and run over to Lexy and Max.

I started crying. This can't be happening! I was just at my aunt house. We couldn't have gotten in a car crash. THEY COULDN'T HAVE DIED!

They were all I had left...

Then I see someone in the distance.
