Chapter 1

I was almost home when I got the call.

"Dylan get home right now" Said mom.

"Mom I'm on my way home from lukes I'm fine calm down."

"I am trying to be calm Dylan but it's your brother D."

"Derik? What happened to derik?"

"I'll tell you when you get home"

I quickly hung up the phone. Now I was in a pannick to get home. I pulled into the drive way. I hurried and got out of my 2012 4 door yellow jeep. I ran up to the front door and hugged mom and than realized she was crying.

"Where's derik?"

"Dylan"

"Mom, answer me where's derik"

She had no answer. But she started balling.

"Mom, tell me where he is"

Mom looked down at her phone and gasped. "Grab your keys D"

She ran out and got into my car, as I followed I locked the front door behind me.

I got into my car and pulled out of my driveway.

"Will you tell me where I'm going"

"Saint judes hospital"

"Mom?"

"It's derik honey, he was at a party you know?"

"Yes, mom what happened?"

"He was in a wreck, and hurt his legs, is bad D really bad"

Derik is my twin brother, he's the star quarter back at hildale high.

We pulled in and we ran into the hospital. I got a water bottle for me and mom from the vinning machine as she was telling the front desk why we we're here and asked what room Dylan was in.

"Room 303" the front desk lady said as mom and I sprinted to that room.

We walked in as he was sitting in bed crying. With doctors surrounding him.

"I'm sry boy but this is gonna be the end to your football career" said one of the doctors.

I gasped. Which made all the doctors in the room stare at me.

"Mrs. Kahn?" Said that same doctor.

"Yes" my mom replied.

All the doctors left the room exept that one.

"Mrs. Kahn, may I plz speak to you in the hall?"

My mom stepped into the hall followed by the doctor who carefully closed the door behind him.

I walked over to deriks bed, he was laying down balling.

I sat down at the edge and held his hand.
"Are you ok?"

"No" he sniffed

"What happened?"

"I got in a wreck."

"Obviously, but how? And what happened that you are crying so hard for?"

"Um another car, a truck actually, rammed into the side of my car and mine turned upside down and is totaled. All because of that truck driver was drunk."

"Oh my god. I'm so sry. What hurts?"

"Everything. But mostly my legs." He paused for a second. Then said "Dylan?"

"Yes derik?"

"The doctor said he was gonna have to amputate both my legs."

He than again started balling.

Right then, my heart stopped.

He was the star quarter back. The captain. He held the team up. And all that in the trash.

And just as I started crying, mom walked in with the doctor balling her eyes out. "Everything will be fine" she said.

"Yes, we'll do the surgery tommorow and he will able to be back home on Friday."

Just then deriks grip got tighter on my hand.

Chapter 2

It was Monday morning. I got up and brushed my teeth. I Went to deriks closet grabbed his football sweats and his underarmer jacket, then made it back to my closet and put on my blue nikes. I was done because I wasn't one for makeup.

I slowly climbed the stairs, went to the kitchen and ate breakfast.

I Went to moms room where she was
Sitting in bed still balling. I went over to her bed, kissed her forehead and Made my way into my jeep and headed to school.

On the way I was thinking to myself how everyone would be asking me questions about 'it'.

I mean it's all over Instagram.

It's gonna be hard for all of us.

I pulled in and got out of my car.

Walked in and then at my locker I felt hands on my shoulders turning me around.

It's was Luke. He was my bestfriend. We do everything together. He practically lives at my house.

He pulled me in and I lost it.

Everyone starred.

---

After school, Luke got into my jeep and he came home with me. Like usual.

We got home an mom was sitting in the living room and watching tv.

"Hey Luke" she said.

"Hey mom" luke replied.

"You staying over tonight too?"

"Yes ma'am"

He always stays over and always calls
Her mom.

We went to my room which is really a basement but derik and I made it our room when we moved into this house. It has one huge 90" tv, with every game system you could ever imagine plus all games ovcaurse, and a pool table and a patio and a huge walk in closet, plus the bunk bed that me and derik share.

I put in 'call of duty. Ghosts'
Grabbed two controllers and sat down next to Luke on the big leather couch.

We battled it out for a good 30'minutes when the phone rang. It was the hospital.

I jumped up and answered.

It was derik.

"Hello!" I said.

"Hey sis"

"How was the surgery?"

"Good, it feels different you know with no legs...."

There was an awkward silence.

"Yea, I can't wait until you get home"

"I'm stuck up here in this place alone with no friends. "

" yea, Luke's here. He's worrying about you."

"Let me talk to him"

"Ok love you"

"Love you too sis"

I handed Luke the phone as we continued to play call of duty

They mumbled on an on about football.

Then Luke hung up and. We played call of duty for about an 1 hour more.
