*Flashback*
We were walking to school when it happened. April 17th, we only had a month of school left. Lena was going to be second grade, she was so smart. Always in the A-B honor roll, very respectful, always polite and friendly to new people. She was my best friend and I failed her that day.
"Ember! Slow down!"
"Well move your legs faster!"
Finally my little sister, Lena, catches up with me. "And you wonder why nobody walks with you anymore."
"Oh shut up. I'm actually glad I run faster than most people." I said
"Why?" She asked
"Because then if someone tries to kill or kidnap me then I can run away easily." I say truthfully. She just rolls her eyes and continues to walks beside me.After a while of walking with a few conversations between us, Lena starts running ahead of me. "Lena stop!!" I screamed
"What? Don't like being in second place?" She says while laughing. She didn't see the car, my little sister got hit; and all I could do was just stand there frozen, eyes wide, staring, heart pounding against my chest. I was finally pulled out of my thoughts when someone yelled to call 911. I push pass people in a hurry to get to her.
When I reach her she's unconscious and barely breathing. I hold her right against my chest until the ambulance arrives. I let them take her and I follow behind them to the truck. The EMT turns to me.
"Miss you can't come with us. You have to stay back." He says.
"She's my sister dammit! Let me go with her, please."
He moved aside and I climbed in the ambulance. I didn't think I'd lose my only family left that day.
*flashback over*The funeral was over and now it's just me. After mom and dad died it's been me and Lena but now that she's gone, it's just me.
Sometimes I think it my fault you know? For this, for her dying, for not getting to her right away. Mom and dad would be so disappointed in me, I'm sure they are. I mean it was my job to protect her after they died. To make sure she never got hurt. But I didn't, I failed her. I got her hurt and now I'm going to have to live with it my entire life.
