The Future is in Me

04: Why Me

The only thing I can remember is headlights heading toward me and Tyler screaming. I don't remember exactly what happened next. I just remember thinking is this the accident that is supposed to happen. But then I shrugged it off because it was a year to early and that when I closed my eyes on the scene of the accident and didn't wake up for a whole year.
            I had severe brain injuries and my mom was told by the doctor that I would be in a medically induced coma for an entire 7 months or until I woke up. Tyler was heart broken because he to was in the accident but he didn't get hurt other than a small scratch on his forehead. Why me? Well the semi-truck was heading towards us on my side of the car and they didn't slow down fast enough that they hit me from the passengers side window and I hit my head on the dashboard as we rolled across the road.
             Every day Tyler would come visit me during visiting hours and at one point he became family because of how much he was there. He would come hold my hand and talk to me, even knowing that I might not wake up or even remember him at all. He was still loyal to me and he knew that he was the cause of this. The doctors told him not to worry but my brain was swelling and I had major injuries and infections. Even if I did wake up it would be a long road to recovery and I know he would stand by my side.
          Everyday something new would go wrong whether it be my body not fighting off disease or me coming out of the medically induced coma and just going into a real coma. The doctors feared that if I went into a coma that I wouldn't ever come out of it. That's why they wanted to keep me on the medically induced one for the remainder of my time at the hospital.
           Things started to look up for me. My brain was getting a little better, not by much but the coma was helping. Tyler would still come in everyday after school or during school to either sing to me or just catch up on life. I still didn't show any signs of waking any time soon but I was getting to that point eventually.
           Well that was until it was 10:00 at night on a Monday and my heart started to give out. Tyler was next to me when my heart started to flat line. The doctors came in and immediately
sent Tyler out. He was crying and just as my heart started to flat line......

I feel deeply sad for Avery and this was actually hard to write. What do you think about what Tyler is doing. What happens next?
