Chapter 2 - my brother

the sirens they grew cold and loud

and ever since then they always have



there was a knock at the door

and there were gasping breaths

mom was sleeping

answered the door and they said...



"your brother was hit"

.."your kidding"

"NO!, he just got hit by a car.." "go tell your mom"

"get up...arron just got hit by a car"

"oh my god where?!"

"main street"



as she ran through the door

and i heard the car take off

i was in panic

i called all of my friends

none of them answered



then finally,

one called back...

thank god!

i had to talk to someone



i told him everything i knew

even though it wasnt much

i was so worried.

i didnt know what was going on.

i thought.. mybe some broken bones

it never even crossed my mind that he could be gone,

just like that,

forever, in an instant.



got another call, but my friend was on his way, because i was alone

i answered the phone,

"i'm sorry, i just heard the news"

"about?"

"the 9 year old that got hit and killed?"

"hes dead?!"

"you didnt know, i'm sorry, i souldnt have said anything, i just heard it i dont know for sure though"

"ok bye i have to go"



NO! this isnt true!!

she's lying ..

right?



another call and my friend was there

now it was my mom on the phone

"hey do you wanna come down here?"

"yeah where are you?"

"in the ambulance behind arron"

"okay i'll be right down"



as i was walking down the street

people were staring,

they knew who i was



i walked through the crowd of people starring and crying

their eyes were filled with horror and scorn



then this girl i knew cam up to me ,

gave me a hug and whispered in my ear,

"you need to go see your mom, she isnt doing so well:



and behind all the starring people

there were flashing lights

as i walked with terror and under the yellow tape,

they opened the ambulance door



i walked in

saw my mom

it seemed like it had been a year since i'd seen her last

i took a seat beside her



she turned toward me

looked at me with scarred eyes

and said...

he didnt make it



i broke down right there



my dad was on his way

and he doesnt know it yet



after she called him

she called friends and family

everytime she said he didnt make it

i cried even harder



we got out of the ambulance

there were still people

i knew there would be

but i just wishe dthey would go



i saw my dad

and my mom told him



all he could say was

"i knew it.. i fracking knew it!"

he yelled it over and over

my mom broke down once again

she walked away

and he was acting like it was all her fault



family and friends arrived and it grew darker



a couple of nights later

i was going to a friends house

and i saw the street

it was filling up with people with candles

i realized what it was for

i broke down crying

went over to the door

got to the house

and heard my om yelling.

i was scared

i felt alone

everyone was outside outr doorstep



my friends sat on the sidelines.. crying

i wanted so bad to sit with them

but i knew for the better, that i shouldnt



as i stood on the sidewalk

infront of my house, crying

everyone had something to say to us

they all said that they are here for us



from that i moment on i realized

that Everyone

in this crappy old town

cared about us
