Its been about 2 weeks since Joey's accident. They haven't figured out who hit him yet. I visit him everyday after school. He's awake and talking but, he cant remember a thing about what happened that night. So the police are still investigating who hit him and what exactly happened.

It's truly agonizing...watching him suffer. He has a brain injury that could effect his health long term. The doctor says he may begin to experience short term memory loss, or he won't its honestly a 50-50 chance. People don't really say anything at school. His friends asks how he is doing. Some "friends" he has they hardly even go and visit him.

I drive home from my visit at the hospital, I look ahead. My mind always stays blank when I drive, even if I am thinking about Joey. I get a phone call, I take a quick glance and recognize the number.

"Hey Dani...what you're doing?" I answer. She giggles "Just hanging with boo." I roll my eyes at the use of the word boo. "So..listen...do you want to go shopping or something tomorrow? I want to cheer you up..." she says genuinely sympathetic. I smile at her attempt "Sure Dani."

"Oh! Alright then! See you tomorrow!" she says and hangs up the call.

I make it home, mom is gone. She must be out shopping or something...

I grab a snack, and go up to my bedroom. I go to my computer, and turn it on. I check social media. Lots of sympathetic regards to Joey. I see a certain message though...from a very unusual name...Hatetroller22?

The message says:

Ha! Joey should've died the joke is on him...he should drive more carefully...I wish he would've died...

I feel tears prick to my eyes. The feeling I'm use to now a days. Wait...how did he know he was driving? I've never said anything about driving or a car accident...neither has Joey. We csnt say anything till the investigation is over...

Could this be who hit him? I start to reply to the message, my fingers shaking with every click of the keyboard...

Reply:

Who is this? How do you know what happened?

I can feel my body trembling. This could be the person that can be put to jail.

After awhile of waiting I couldn't handle it any longer. I went and laid down on my bed. I snuggle against the pillow...my mind is drifting off to dreamland.

As my eyelids slowly closed to sleep... I thought about Joey...

I'm going to help you Joey...
