"People cry not because they are weak. It's because they've been strong for too long."
POV Anita:
I was speeding up. I couldn't see the road. Everything was blurry. Wait? I am crying? No way. But I am. The thing is that I never show my fillings. What is happening to me?
I hear a sound of the brakes and crashing... After that everything went in the slow motion. I saw something hit me and people walking up to me, as I lay down on the road. Everything started to be blurry and the next moment I found myself fading away.

I woke up feeling a hospital smell, that I hated so much. Looking at myself, I tried to put the pieces together of what happened. Speed. Teardrops. Crash. Darkness.
I took a moment to look around and stopped on my tracks. I saw myself laying on the hospital bed with a lot of tubes going to my body. If I am here and there, then I am dead? Carefully, I took a step towards bed and looked at the screens. I am not dead yet. Only in a comma.
Coming out of the room, a bright light came shining at my face, making me close my eyes. When I slowly opened them a long hallway stood in front of me. Three doors appearing in black and white colors was the only thing I saw. I reached out to open one of the doors, but a strong shock wave stroke me, causing me to black out.
Next thing I hear is a song that sounds so familiar, but I can't remember why. Stepping carefully, I went to the source of the sound, only to find myself in a big, light room. Slowly stepping inside, I felt something touch my hand. A girl, about four year old, ran into the room.
"Anita, come here!" I heard a sweet female voice say
The voice was so familiar. Oh, how much did I miss it! Mom.
" Just a minute, Mommy!" A girl said in a cute childish voice.
"We have to go, sweetheart. Dad is coming soon from a long trip."A woman hugged tightly a girl "You are my little ray of sunshine. Always be like that. Be stronger than everyone, they will try to break you, but you have to be stronger." A woman whispered to a girl.
Suddenly, doorbell rang. I knew what was coming next.
- Mrs. Skye? - a man asked my mom
- Yes, that is me...Is something wrong? - a moment of silence continued
- I am sorry to say this,... but your husband is dead.
"Mommy, why are you crying?" A girl asked carefully
"Everything is alright. Everything will be okay." A woman said hugging tightly a small girl's body
Tears came running down my white, like snow, cheeks. Shaking slightly, I escaped a room.
A long hallway stood in front of me again, except it had already two doors.
