Scarlett's POV
"Scarlett , Chrissy hold tight now we'll be out soon just stay calm and breath." Mum said to us as she was moaning from every utter pain she had in her body.
"But Mummy it hurts so bad help me Mummy," Chrissy cried out in agony.
"It's okay Chrissy, calm down. They will be here soon." I say softly to Chrissy to calm her.

Flash back
We saw someone in the middle of the road. It was A girl. She was dressed in a white gown. Dark brown locks covering her face. She made no attempt to move so we swerved around. We tried the breaks but they wouldn't work, which sent the car speeding towards a tree and we collided with it before we could even fully understand what was happening . The impact knocked the wind out of me and a wave of pure excruciating pain washed over me as I scream out in agony. My eyes slowly started to flutter shut, the sound of sirens approaching and talking, screaming is heard in all directions but i couldn't make out what was being said with the ringing in my ears. I made myself stay awake until the Ambulance and Fire Department came. I fought against the fatigue I was feeling until I could stay awake no longer.

. . .

I opened my eyes to the sight of a bright light. "Mum? Dad!? Where are they!?" I screamed at the people around me.
A man leans down next to me and begins talking "Scarlett I'm sorry but.." He pauses in the middle for a few seconds
"But what?..." I shouted at him begging for an answer. Then he says the one thing that sends my world crashing to the ground.
"Your parents didn't make it through...your mothers brain had been starved of oxygen for so long and..."
"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE HER...WHY!?" I shouted angrily with tears streaming down my face.
"I'm sorry Scarlett there was nothing we could've done."

What is the point of living if my whole family is dead? They're all dead, and I survived. What am I going to do without them?
"And what about Chrissy and my Dad?..." I ask, more calmly this time. Although I feel like screaming and crying until I can't cry no more and the pain in my heart goes away.
"Well...your Dad's head made impact with the steering will so hard that it was an instant death."
I laid there in silence. Tears falling down my face like a waterfall, thinking about how my life was falling apart. "And Chrissy..." I manage to croak out, choking back my sobs.
"Well your sister is a strong one that's for sure. She got away with hardly any damage done, only minor injuries. You can go and see her later if you wish, but not right now. You need operations done on your right arm, legs and we need to plate your ribs." He says sympathetically, Gently putting a hand on my shoulder in comfort.
I nodded my head as they push my bed to the operation theatre.

. . .
4 hours later
I woke up and squinted my eyes at the bright light above me. I look down to see that I have all different kinds of tubes attached to me and needles inserted into my arms, wrists, and the back of my hands. A figure approached me. I'm not sure who it was, but it gave me an uneasy feeling. All I could make out was the outline of a body. My head was still pounding and all i could hear was "You're not going to live next time..."
