AUTHORS NOTE: I don't remember if I put where they live currently in the story yet but if I have then i'm sorry. Her family currently lives in the Sunshine State, also known as Florida!

Alright, enough for now! Enjoy the story❤

"I swore I could see my body still in the car dead, not breathing, just still. I felt my body go into a trance- like state and immediately blacked out seconds later".
I heard people talking, softly, so softly that it sounded like it was far away, but in reality it was right next to me. I heard crying, like someone was crying about a person that was close to them being dead. I thought to myself, "Am i dead?" , but i soon realized I was not. If I was dead I don't reckon I'd be able to hear anyone. On the other hand, all I saw was darkness. I tried turning on the light but there was no switch, no match, no flame, not even my flashlight on my phone. I looked to the left, then to the right, I took it upon myself to use my brain for once. (Blonde Moment) I had discovered that my eyes were closed. (NO REALLY😱😱 never would have guessed) I tried to open them but my eyelids were heavy. As if someone were keeping pressure on my eyes. I soon became anxious. I tried to open my mouth to scream but no words came out. I tried to move my body but I felt paralyzed. I felt useless. My insides felt broken, like I had crushed every bone in my body and I felt no blood in my system. (How can you even feel if you have blood in your system, I have no clue just bare with me😭) I took all the strength I had left to slowly but surely open my eyes. At first, everything was blurry it was as if nothing was focusing. I tried focusing my eyes towards a figure that was sitting in a chair beside me, finally after many minutes I saw that Leroy, My older brother, was asleep on the chair next to me holding one of my hands softly but firm on my hospital bed. His head was on my lap, his mouth slightly agape, snoring quite profusely. As loud as a hurricane if that. I lifted up my free hand and moved it towards his short, black, silky hair and started running my fingers through it. "Where's mom?", I thought. I glanced over to the other chair in the room. She's not there. Where is she? She was nowhere in sight. I glanced my eyes back down to Leroy to see that he was still soundly asleep, so I took that in for a moment and then went back to sleep.

2 WEEKS LATER:

I'm sitting up on the hospital bed playing cards with my brother when my mom walks in. She comes over to me and sits next to Leroy quietly and gently. She rubbed my arm and asked, "Are you feeling any better than you did yesterday"? "Yes, momma, I feel almost normal again. (Far from normal if you ask me) The doctor came in, ran some tests, asked me some questions and walked right out the door again within just a few moments.

15 minutes later:

One of the nurses came in and stated, "Dawn is all clear and set to go home, Please gather her belongings and make your way out within half an hour. Thank you". She quickly turned around, went out the door, and shut it quite hard. I turned around to my mom and said, " She's lovely, ain't she. She seems like she needs some dick to me". My mom nearly got whiplash turning her head around to look at me after that statement. She glared at me for only a moment and then laughed. Laughed so hard she started crying. My brother just looked at me like "😬🙄", and I couldn't have wanted a more relatable response than that. Within the hour, I changed into some of the clothes my mom brought me and packed up everything that was with me and headed to the waiting room. My mom finished signing the release papers, and my mom, myself and my brother walked out the door. We arrived outside and I joked "Hey mom, can I play crossy road?" "Sure honey, go ahead". She thought I meant the Crossy Road game on my phone. HAHA silly her. I took a step towards the street and started walking across it, slowly. You would've thought that since my father and I got into an accident on the road I'd be a lot more reserved and scared to do anything, but to be quite honest with you, I could care less about living. I was halfway across the road when I hear both my mother and my brother screaming for me and that it wasn't what my mom meant by saying i could play crossy road. They abruptly ran across the road and caught up to me, but not without my brother smacking me upside the head first. We got into our car roughly about 30 minutes later and we took off towards our home, which no longer felt like it because without my dad here, it felt like a ghost town. We made dinner and ate it , I took a shower, then I went upstairs and climbed into bed. I couldn't seem to fall asleep until almost 2am though.
When I woke up late afternoon, I could here my brother and mom arguing, well more like screeching at each other the loudest to see who wins the fight like a toddler. I cover my ears and go downstairs to see what the chaos is about. "WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU TWO KNUCKLEHEADS SCREAMING ABOUT AT 3 IN THE AFTERNOON FOR"?? They both turn quickly with a shocked look on their faces. I have never been one to raise my voice unless needed too because of my shyness and I don't really like the sound of myself or anyone else raising there voice, much less screaming regardless of who its at or what it's for. My brother simply replied " Your gonna love this sis".
I turned to my mother, " What is it Ma?" She didn't dare look up at me, but she took a paper from my brother and handed it to me. I looked at it. It was a plane ticket. A one-way plane ticket. "Why are you handing this to me"? "What's going on? I asked in a panic voice. "Your leaving for La Push, Washington". She looked up to see my face and it was exactly how she expected it to be. The outcome was tragic.

AUTHORS NOTE: OMG y'all i'm so sorry I never updated the story till now. I'm not going to make up excuses and say I was busy at all though. I really wanted to write this story but my laziness got the best of me. I have so many ideas for this story but had no motivation to actually get to writing it until today. School starts Monday so I will be slowly updating. Probably once a week on Sundays. I can't be sure yet but I promise you I will try to update this story at least once a week. Most of the chapters will be fairly long so you don't have to worry about getting so many ads and having to go through 60 short chapters with 20 ads, because believe me, been there, done that. I want to make this story fairly long because I have seen other stories where they only have 20 pages. I know how hard it is to write a story and have motivation for it, but however, it is really disheartening to read a story and get really into it, only for it to stop abruptly or not have as many chapters you would have hoped. I don't want the stories to be all rushed so I am trying to take my time and be really detailed in so far, as much as I can be. I know the story is so far is delayed and "dragging on" but most stories I've seen always cut to the chase and never really give any background to the story or give details. The always cut to the imprint and lover part, but I want you guys to experience everything. Let me know what you guys think! (Sorry this is such a long Author's Note)

Also wish me goodluck! First day of Sophomore year in High school Starts TOMORROW August 31st 2020, I am doing online school so I can get ahead and graduate by next year. And my tryouts for the cheerleading team at school is on wednesday, thursday, and friday of this week. It's so stressful!! I hope I make it.
