To Be Continued

Prologue TBC

I looked over at Kaedan, smiling at his parents singing together. He looked so happy.

I nudged him and smiled. He kissed my cheek. He has been my best friend for years now. I have always known him as a brother though.

I punched his arm, our usual sign for 'I want to wrestle' or 'shut up'. God I love my best friend, and his quirky sense of humor.

Suddenly we saw two bright lights in front of the Station Wagon we're in. I squinted at their brightness, it was coming towards us.

Everything went by quickly, Kaedan jumping in front of me, the truck hitting our vehicle head-on, bones snapping and metal bending.

It was terrible. I didn't know what to do, I woke up on the ground, my brown hair wet with blood. I lifted my head and reached back, yup, my blood.

I got up, my left leg and right arm, broken. I limped over to a body, I didn't know who's. I crouched down and studied the face. Long blonde hair, hazel eyes wide open, high cheek bones, Mrs. Fennar.

Tears streamed down my face at this realization. She was like my mother, I loved her and now she's gone I sobbed quietly.

I limped over to the next body and studied his face. Black hair, blue eyes half open, handsome chiseled face. Mr. Fennar, I sobbed. My eyes were just leaking out giant fat crocodile tears.

I limped over to the next body that I knew would be Kaedan's. I knelt down next to him. His usually sea-green eyes were shut, his dark chestnut brown hair matted down with blood. I checked his pulse, none...

I screamed, I not only lost part of my non-related family but I lost my best friend too. I lay down next to him, my tears soaking the ground beneath me. I stroked his hair, and lay my head on his chest.

I woke up later, hearing sirens, and cop cars. An officer walked up to me and asked if I had any broken bones. I said yes and told him about my arm and leg. He helped me up, but when I looked around I saw Mr. and Mrs. Fennar still on the ground looking peaceful despite their bloody battered bodies.

My knees seemed no longer able to hold my weight as I looked at the two being put into body bags. The officer helped me up and asked what was wrong, I just pointed to where my non-related family had been laying so peacefully.

When I saw Kaedan being put on a stretcher I ran over to him and checked his pulse. I could feel it thumping and as I touched him it sped up and he took in a deep breath. I looked into his eyes smiling but when I saw the question in them, with the answer that would break his heart, I collapsed again.

One of the paramedics picked me up. He carried me into the ambulance that Kaedan would be in, when we were in the ambulance, Kaedan had a worried expression on his face.

I just shook my head and told him to sleep. I ended up stroking his hair and falling asleep myself. I had woken up being rolled into a room on the same stretcher as Kaedan.

<•>

Once we were all fixed up and healed, other than our broken bones, we were able to go home, wherever that was.

After a while we adapted to having the casts and doing thing that one of us can do, but the other cant.

Lately though something has been off about Kaedan. He's being more aggressive towards people every day and he will only listen to me. He has gotten very over protective too.

A couple of times I have confronted him but every time it's deny, deny, deny. It kills me to see him like this, so scared and mad at everything. It worries me too, who knows what will happen next...
