Character P.o.v. Switch

This is the character Pov switch I had to do for school, from Story C.

Isaac's PoV

We were in the car, my sister and I. Mom made me take her to Faith's house, they were having a sleepover or something.

"You do realize, that when I was your age, I didn't have a babysitter or sleep overs?" I asked Hope

"Yeah, you've told me like, 7 times." She turned to me, "The world's changed,"

I looked back to the road, having nothing to say, I started to plot my revenge for her smart talking. I saw her smirk in the corner of my eye. Ha! Perfect...

I punched her in the shoulder when she turned to look at me.

'I'm so awesome' I sang to myself in my head.

"Ouch!" she looked at me again holding her shoulder, then punched me back.

"Ow! Stop! I'm driving!"

She looked at her reflection in the window.

"Hypocrite." she muttered

"I heard that Hope."

"Well, You Were Meant Too" she exaggerated her words towards me.

We drove in an awkward silence for a few minutes.

"Isa-" she started to say before a car sped in front of us. I slammed on the brakes, throwing us both against our seatbelts. We spun sideways a bit and I looked at hope to see if she was ok. There were bright headlights speeding at us from a truck that couldn't stop. It was heading straight for Hope.

I couldn't move. I just sat there looking out Hope's window as she looked at me in confusion.

I couldn't do anything. I wanted to yell and scream for her to get out of the way, but I couldn't. I had to sit there and watch as she turned to her window in fear as the truck hit her side of the car. Everything seemed as if it was slow motion, Hope's eyes closed and glass went flying everywhere. I felt like something inside me broke when the car hit.

I screamed. She has to be alive! She can't leave!

I don't know what happened next, everything went numb. Suddenly I was outside of the car with Hope's body in my arms. I sat down next to the car holding her close. We ended up on the side of the road, right before the grassy fields of nothing. You could see her barely breathing, little ragged breaths. Her heart was beating a lot slower than it was supposed to, and my heart was beating too fast.

" You can't leave me." I whispered, "Hope, you can't leave me!" I hugged her frail body

"Please don't leave me hope."

She slowly opened her eyes.

"Hope!"

"Isaac?" She looked so... disoriented.

"Isaac, it's cold..." She said slowly, "Isaac, it... it hurts. It hurts so much."

" Hold on Hope. It's gonna be alright, they're looking for us. They'll find us." I told her. It seemed hard for her to register what I was saying.

"Will you, will you stay with me?" I was worried about her, she can't leave me.

"Of course. It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be Ok.."

"Promise?"

"I promise. I'll be here, next to you. Always." I don't know what I was saying anymore, I heard the words come out of my mouth as if they were someone else's.

A light shined next to me. When the flashlight moved I could see a man in a police uniform.

"I found them." The man said through his walkie talkie

In my lap, Hope shifted slightly.

"It hurts Isaac. It hurts..." she whispered. Then, she closed her eyes. Her lips parted slightly before they let out a breath and her chest stopped moving.

"Hope. Hope!" I started shaking her softly,"This isn't funny Hope. Open your eyes!"

I completely forgot someone else was there as I hugged her to my chest and started crying again.

They were saying something, the person next to me. I didn't listen, I didn't care. My sister was...unconscious, and nothing could stop that. I went numb as I came to the realization that I probably wouldn't see her beautiful eyes, or hear her amazing voice again. I stopped existing in that moment. I shut down and stopped thinking.

It was dark with small lights at random points. There were silhouettes of people and cars. I faintly remember moving, but that's all I really remember. Nothing was clear anymore.

I opened my eyes suddenly, scaring myself awake. I was dazed as I sat up quickly. Everything was fuzzy for a second before I focused and my mind caught up, realizing I was awake. Everything came rushing back to me.

She's dead. I can see her everyday. No one else can see her. I'd be alone if not for her. Life is horrible.

I stood up from the floor I was lying on and looked around. I was in my living room, with a television on one side of the wall facing a grey couch. I heard a knock on the front door and slowly started walking to the door.

My sister is the only reason I'm alive. Even though she's already dead.
