I Saw Him In 1960

Chapter 1: Crash

"Hey mom?" I said. She ignored me like always. My older brother Zuez was her favorite. He's always done everything perfect.

I was about to put back in my headphones and look out the window when she responded angrily, "What Elladon Copper." My mother said. She knew I hated being called by my full name. It's just Ella.  Maybe she was still angry at me for breaking her white vase this morning. It wasn't even my fault. Zues threw a shoe at me and it broke.

"Never mind Susan." I knew she hated me calling by her first name. I didn't want to bother her any more, so I put back my headphones in.  She was driving. Plus it doesnt matter, shes always mad at me for something. My dad was sitting in the passenger seat reading his daily newspaper with his god awful round glasses.  Zuez was sleeping next to me. He was probably tired from the many sports he plays. Since hes so perfect.

I decided to skip a song on my ipod and right when I did that. Everything went black. I couldn't see. I couldn't hear. The impact in the water made my heart stop.  It hurt my ears. It hurt my everything. I tried to scream for my family.

I quickly opened my eyes to see my whole family passed out. I freaked out and started hyperventilating. I started looking around out the windows and see that were slowly sinking in the depths of a lake. I was on a bridge and the next thing I know.. I'm in the middle of the deep blue.

I tried desperately to open my door, but it was jammed. We were so far down at this point that there was no way for me to even to even swim to the surface without drowning. It wasn't very long after that that I realized there was a crack in the windshield. From my mom banging her head off it. I knew my mom was dead. Even if I tried to escape I would die. If I didnt die. Where would I go? I couldn't live with myself. I was running out of oxygen. It was getting hard to breath.

The water started to slowly eat away at the crack in the windshield. It was going to burst open soon. I was terrified. But it was so peaceful. I resisted my urge as a human to survive and get out of there. I knew it was my time. I heard the cracking of the windshield. I had a sense of deja vu. I knew I was supposed to die like this. It was my destiny. My final destination at last. But why so young. I had so much to live for. I have tried to commit suicide once before. I was depressed. I thought it was my end then. But now. I know it's my end.

I closed my eyes as I waited to die.

It felt like forever but really it was only a couple minutes before it shatterd and the salty water came rushing in.

I looked up and saw the water pouring in slowly through the crack. I smiled as I knew it was my end. I couldn't breath as there was no oxygen. Suddenly the windshield came rushing down. I felt the cold stinging water hit my skin with glass shards going in my chest and arms. I gasped for air. But there was none. I looked up and saw light shining through the surface. The salty water filled my lungs. It hurt. The worst feeling I ever had. I cried as I knew I would be in a better place.

I only saw black. Just black.
