"Mary!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "Mary where are you?"
I continued searching the wreckage, limping around on my one leg that wasn't gushing blood. My eyes scanned the perimeter until they landed on a lifeless body in which was laying in a contorted position across the open car door.
"Mary!" I gasped at the appearance, tears were streaming down my face as I struggled to get over to my sister. "This is all my fault!" I screamed into the air, pounding the ground with my fist while trying to shake Mary awake. "Please wake up.....please."
She groaned and rolled over onto her back, revealing a large gash in her side and a growing puddle of blood next to her head. Her face scrunched up in agony when I tried to reach under her and pull her up. Her head immediately snapped up only to have her eyes stare into my gaze.
"Mary this is all my fault." I choked out, still staring into her large blue eyes.
She responded by placing one finger over my lips and making a shushing sound. "Where is mom?" she questioned me.
I looked over Mary's shoulder to see my mother lying limp against the car seat. My breath hitched as I watched her chest stay completely and utterly still. She wasn't breathing.......and it was all my fault.
