A Car Crash Can Change Someone's Life

Day Of The Accident

What's going on? Where's Megan? Did I fall asleep? I must be dreaming, why else would the ambulance be here? I look around and see smoke and paramedics all around me. Is that our car... flipped over! I saw a body, and I recognized them... MEGAN! Megan wake up, wake up! No, no... this isn't real, it's a dream, it has to be. Wake up Seneca, wake up, stop dreaming!... CHELSEA! Chelsea I'm right here... please tell me you see me.

Someone! Anyone? Why can't you see me? Why is it that I'm standing up, alive, and Megan is... asleep, but they can only see her? Why am I invisible?

No! Not Brandon! Why is he here? He doesn't give a crap about either of us. Well at least towards me. Oh wait I forgot, he cares too much about me. But a feeling in my stomach just wants to run over there and hug him, telling him that I'm sorry. But I know it'll be the same as when I tried talking to Chelsea, he wouldn't hear me or see me if I tried to talk to them. I tried crying, but tears were staying hidden in my eyes. Why couldn't I just cry? It was like I couldn't do anything but try to talk to people.

Before the paramedics closed the back doors to the truck, I quickly hopped in, seeing Megan. She must be in pain, seeing her like this. Glass slit inside her head, gushing out blood. Scratches marked all over her body, some still bleeding. Her heart-rate was at a low pressure. It brought me back to a flashback when we were in the car at one time.

"Huh, I'm tired and bored. What should we do?" Megan finally said.

"Well we could stay here and bake, or do karaoke like we used to do. Or we can go outside and do something. Up to you, because I'm fine with whatever."

"Let's go to the beach! We can meet up with Derek! It's a beautiful day today, which is surprising since it's winter. But it'll be fun!"

"Sounds fun to me!" I said, which was actually kind of true. Going to the beach is always the best, especially with friends there.

We parked and walked down the path to get to the beach. Just in case we went somewhere else far away from the car, we wore our flip flops. Megan texted Derek where we were out so that we could meet up.

"Are you sure you want to hang out here? I feel bad that Brandon isn't here since I have my boy." She said, feeling bad.

"Oh no, Megan I'm fine. Besides, I want to get the chance to hangout with Derek and you more often. Thank you though."

"Oookaay, if you say so. But I bet it would be more fun with Brandon here. I mean Derek and him know each other so nothing would be awkward."

Megan sunk in the sand and started to scream, then ended up laughing.

"Are you okay, Megs?" I said, laughing so much, I almost cried. She was also laughing and our big smiles were going to stay on for awhile.

"I'm okay, it was just out of the blue and I was like, 'oh my gosh!' so then I started laughing." She replied, laughing in between words.

We were holding hands, skipping and swinging our hands outwards and inwards. There would be times where we fell, or the shore washed up on our feet unexpectedly, and the whole time, laughter would come out and it would take a long time where we didn't stop.

"I love you Megs, I don't know what I would do without you." I said, smiling bright and big. She smiled back and replied, "Awe, Sen, I love you too. You won't ever lose me, I promise."

That last sentence in the flashback actually made me cry. It felt so good to cry, knowing I could let it all out. When she said "You won't ever lose me, I promise." I thought of right now. We lost each other, I wouldn't see my best friend again, in real life. I finally realized that no one could see me because... I was gone. But I never saw me right next to Megan, or anywhere.

We finally arrived at the hospital and I followed them until they shut the curtains. I couldn't see her anymore. But I had to find where my body went. I ran door to door, trying to find where they put my body. I was panicking, I couldn't find my body anywhere.

But then I saw him, holding my hand, crying. It made me want to cry. It was Brandon that was holding my hand. My face was so messed up, and my arms had huge bruises and scratches. I walked over to him, touching his hand, seeing if he would feel it. But nothing... I was officially gone, invisible to others. I felt so lonely and and left out. I just sat on the couch next to him, hoping I would wake up soon.

I was probably in the middle of night when Chelsea came in, crying so much, I was so worried and curious why she was crying. So I listened to their conversation. My face froze and my heart stopped. I didn't believe Chelsea, it wasn't true, she was lying. Wasn't she? I ran to the room she was at, and I fell to the floor when I saw the room, empty. I banged my hand into a fist on the ground, wanting so badly to wake up, everyone there.

I had officially lost my best friend. I was choking on tears, thinking of all the greatest memories I had with Megan. I didn't want to believe that she was gone, I couldn't. But I knew it was possible. I couldn't think straight anymore. There's no point in trying to wake up, my body's not strong enough to survive. My life was over and I'm going to be stuck like this for eternity. The best I can do is be right by Brandon's side, knowing he's not alone. And I bet Megan is doing the same for Chelsea, in the same problem I'm in. For the rest of the night, I laid on the couch next to Brandon, my head on his stomach. The whole night, I cried, not a single second where I wouldn't.
