charmaine's pov.

"hurry, hurry, hurry. or we'll miss the sunset." my mum rushed her left over bags outside to the car.

i sighed, tossing a small backpack over my shoulder, heading out to the car.

i slid in the backseat, next to my older brother, lucas.

he shot a slow glare at me, i glared back.

"do you want me to sit somewhere else? you're sitting in the middle so i kinda have to sit next to you." i stated, scoffing.

lucas made a face, before turning down to his phone.

i slowly put in earbuds, and began playing my music. which would be my only form of entertainment for the next 3 1/2 hours.

my family, which consisted of my two brothers, mum, and her girlfriend.

my mum's girlfriend had a small log cabin in oregon. which wasn't super far, since we lived in a small town at the top of california.

i rested my head back against the seat, and closed my eyes, as we slowly pulled towards an intersection.

the light flicked green, and the truck began to move forward again.

i heard sudden screams, which spooked me. i quickly pulled out my earbuds and looked out the window.

a truck headed straight towards us.

i felt pain strike throughout my entire body. i couldn't move. i felt frozen.

i had already heard sirens in the distance, i forced my eyes open, attempting to look around.

i started to scream, my legs were in horrible pain, horrible, horrible pain.

i looked down to see a giant truck flipped sideways, and laying on top of my legs.

i shouted for help, shouting for someone to save me from all of this.

people began to run towards me. touching my head, grabbing my hands, asking me questions.

so much was happening all at one time.

the sun started to get bright, it started to get so bright, i had to shut my eyes. the brightness shined through my closed eyes and continued to blind me.

was i dying? oh no, there's no way. i can't be. i'm so young. there's so much i still have left to do.

"stay awake, come on charmaine, i need you to wake up." i heard a recognizable voice shout.

i slowly opened my eyes to see my mum hovering over me, tears stained her cheeks, as more continued to rush out of her eyes.

"you're awake, i've got you, you're okay. don't go into the light, charm." she said.

the pain was unbearable. everywhere, especially my heart.

i had to leave, i couldn't handle it. i couldn't hold on anymore.

i held her hand as tight as i could, squeezing with all the strength i had left.

"i really love you, mum." i whispered, wondering if she even heard me over all the chaos.

"no! don't go into the light!" she screamed, more and more tears falling out.

everything got extremely bright once more. i didn't resist it this time. the brightness blinded me again. but it soon went away.

i opened my eyes to see the same recognizable sky.

i looked down and saw my legs were still trapped under the truck, people gathered around. attempting to flip the truck back over.

i stood up, seeing everyone flip the truck over.

i looked around, police, ambulances, and locals surrounded everything.

i turned back around and saw my lifeless body still lying there.

my family gathered around me, sobbing and clutching me.

"um, guys, i'm right here." i said with a chuckle.

they all continued to sob over me.

i bent down to hug my mum, my arms went right through her.

i stood up, policemen and first responders ran through me to the commotion.

am i alive still?

everything began to fade away, the commotion, my family, everything.

i stood there, i nothing but never ending white.

i began to walk, i walked a little ways, only hearing the patter of my shoes hit the white ground.

"hello?!" i shouted.

suddenly, trumpets and harps began to play. i saw two giant golden gates, and golden steps in front of me.

i slowly walked towards the gates, as they began to open.

i walked through the gates, seeing little kids running around with puppies chasing along them.

mothers with their babies, sitting in rocking chairs.

a choir of angels, singing and playing lovely instruments.

butterflies circled around me, before flying away.

a girl, who looked a few years older than me, walked towards me.

could she see me? or was i still somewhat invisible?

"charmaine, we've been waiting for you."

i recognized my aunt, and all my loved ones.
