I smiled as I sat in the passengers seat of my mom's car. Today was a good day and we were heading to the Walmart. I swung my legs as I read my new manga and recalled my day. I gave the new kid a hug and got a couple of new friends. All of a sudden, I heard my mother scream.

I heard the crash before I felt it. When I did feel it, it was too late. The pain that was running through my body was unbearable and it wouldn't go away. It felt like I was......like I was........getting stabbed......with a gun..........a really sharp gun............actually, no. That sounded stupid. It felt like a bull was charging at me and had hit me in the stomach at full force. I had felt all the glass explode at me and cut into my skin. The airbag exploded in my face, the seatbelt choking me. Everything seemed to be against me in that one moment. Then, as quickly as it had all happened, it was over and I had passed out.

I sat up and looked at my surroundings. I saw white walls and lots of hospital equipment. So I was in a hospital. There were voices, but they weren't exactly clear. I couldn't hear anything clearly at all. All that I could hear was the ringing in my ears and the screams and the crash and-

I stated panicking, hyperventilating, grabbing, trying to reach something, anything that was real. I couldn't seem to grasp anything real or solid. I could only see the blood flying through the air. I could only hear the crash of the cars and the glass breaking and shattering. I could only feel the metal crushing in on me, the glass digging into my skin, the airbag exploding in my face, the seatbelt against my neck. I could only-

"Micah! Wake up! You're dreaming! Doctor, he's panicking! Help him!"

I sat up and looked around to check my surroundings once more and saw my friends and mother gathered around my hospital bed. Kalee threw her arms around my neck and cried into my shoulder. "Oh my god! I was so worried about you!" she cried, her voice muffled by my shirt. As she cried, she created a wet spot on my shoulder. I wrapped my arms aroung her too, awkwardly though because I've never given female that isn't my mom a hug. "You freaking idiot you! I was worried! You should've woken up sooner!" Kalee yelled. I went stiff, unsure if what to do. I have never dealt with a sobbing female before.

"Kalee, we all want to say something to him, so stop suffocating him! I want to hug him!" Kai complained, crossing his arms. He pulled his sister's arms off of me. I gasped as Kai just fell on top of me. I was forced back onto the bed. He wrapped his arms around my middle, unlike Kalee, and was more careful. "You're really lucky that you're alive, you know that? The doctor said that at the rate that you were healing, you would die. We're all really happy that you are here. We freaked out when you started panicking like that. We are all really happy that you are here, Micah," Kai whispered in my ear. The tone of voice that he used sent chills down my spine, reminding me of my old crush.

He stepped back and walked back, approaching Jinx. Sarah steped forwrad, helped me up, and sat at the edge of the bed by me. I moved over so she could sit on the bed more and she did. "You're really precious to us, you know that??" she asked. I nodded. "If you died on us then, I'd have to resurect you, kill you, then bring you back to life with my powers," she joked, wiggling her fingers as if she were to cast some sort of magic spell. I laughed and she got up.

Mom was up next and she sat where Sarah was sitting previously. I hugged mom before she could touch me. "I know that must have been really scary , sweetheart. It scared me too. I got out of the car before I got hurt too badly, but you stayed in the car and I didn't understand why until I realized that you probably had no clue what was going on. You must've been so scared. I'm so sorry that I didn't stop in time," Mother apologized.
