A Matter of Time.

Chapter one

I had died. I had died 42 years ago. I remember, I was driving in the car with my father when someone hit us in the side and the car had rolled. Two hours after the accident I was announced dead. Only everything people where saying around me was clear. I wasn't dead I was trapped between imagination and reality. The person that stood out from the crowd was the actual doctor. Him and my mother were discussing something. But it came out as mumbled speech. I saw him when he leaned by my bed and stuck a needle in my arm. My eyes were closed the whole time. Until that very moment.
                I started plugging my ear buds into my phone when my cousin stepped on the brakes of the van. The car in front of us turned without turning on their signal. My cousin turned to me and let out a shaky breath before she starting to driving again. I leaned into the seat again. 42 years. It's been 42 years since i died in a car accident, and i would like to keep it that way.
     My music turned on. Technology has improved over the years. I'm actually really excited to know what will be happening in the next 20 years. I'll most likely be alive long enough to see if humans can pull off inhabiting Mars.
       "That wasn't how I wanted to start summer break. How about you Megan?"
I looked up from my phone to the driver and took an ear bud out.
  "That wasn't something I wanted to go through again." I stated plainly.
      Ally, my cousin, didn't really say anything for a while. I don't blame her. It's not easy thinking that you almost got someone you care about in a car accident. At least I think she cares about me. Who knows, I could be wrong. Because in all honesty, I usually am the one who's wrong.
   "So how's life been? Anything new you want to talk about? Possibly things you will be doing on break?" Ally glanced at me from the corner of her eyes. She expects me to answer but i don't know what to say. I'll just do what i do every summer. Sit around eat ice cream. Watch people fall in love. Eat ice cream. Watch people break up. Eat ice cream. I really need to branch out on my break.
  "Maybe find another person who was given a shot by an crazy unknown doctor, and frolic in the meadows holding hands for the rest of eternity." I looked over at her. She wasn't the tinniest bit amused. 
    I realised on the way home that I really did need to make friends. But I just didn't want to. My older self would of loved to, but the Megan now was tired of watching people she cared about leave. To me losing friends is like losing family. I just can't handle that anymore.
        The mud squished underneath my converse when I stepped out of the van. There must be at least 5 cars in the drive way. Proving that all my cousins had come down for break. Fantastic. Nothing like five year olds running around the house all day. I might look 15 and kinda technically am, but I usually act my actual age. Which would be 57 years old. I'll get to turn into my early 60s without any wrinkles. Sounds legit.
    The keys wiggled in the whole as I struggled with them. I heard a click and pushed the door open. Family members looked at me. Some smiling others looked sad. I put on my best smile and put my school bags on the floor. For the past few years I've been having to switch schools for 2 reasons. 1, I continue to look like a   fifteen year old.  2, teachers would get suspicious as to why I never moved up a grade. I tried moving up a grade once. They said i was too young. So i just keep participating in 9th.
    I hopped onto the couch with my older brother. He looks right for his age. 63. I leaned on his shoulder and he looked at me smiling. Of course this made me actually smile.
  "How's life been kid. Rough?" he looked at me with faded gray eyes
       "You know. The same thing forever it seems like. Oh, I did however make all A's this year. I guess when you relive high school hundreds of times you actually understand it."
  The soft chuckle that escaped his lips made me happy. I wanted us to grow old together like most siblings do. But my mom wanted to save her poor daughter. So with technology progressing, the doctor had given me a shot they had recently created. It was either I got the shot and lived or died. Or I didn't get the shot, and ended up dying. So i got the shot and I'm still alive. I'll probably be alive for a while if not until the world ends. Hopefully not that  long. My life would be a living hell.
     My brother and I talked a tiny bit longer. He ended up falling asleep. I forget he doesn't have the energy of his young self. Maybe I could try to find whoever the doctor was who saved me. Well, sum what saved me, and partially ruining my life. But without him I wouldn't of had a life. Or a future. It's the year of 2037. I don't know exactly how long its going to take people to inhabit Mars. Maybe thousands of years. Maybe they never will, which is sad to think of because I'm actually quit excited about it. Because even if it takes them thousands of years to make my dream come true, I'll still be here waiting. Because that's probably literally all i do.
     Is wait.

So someone, anyone tell me how I did. I'm only 13 years old and i love writing. If anyone can tell if i should continue this please tell me. That would mean the would to me!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
