A month and a week ago I got into a train wreck. I did survive, but I'm not sure if I'm emotionally okay.
I wake up one day, and my mom is there with me. We will spend the day together, and then I'll fall asleep.
I wake up again, but this time I'm with my little brother, Aleks.
In one world my mom survived, and Aleks didn't.
In the other world Aleks lived, and my mom didn't.
I know it's confusing. It took me a long time for me to comprehend. I still have difficulties.
I talk about it with my student councilors. They call it "The Dreaming" stage. They think I'm dreaming. They think I'm sad and morning, but I'm okay right here. I get to be with Aleks, and my mom. They can't be together, but at least I can be there for them.
At least, that's what I thought.
