My little sister looks as if she just saw a ghost. Then I look at myself. I seem to be glowing and appear almost transparent. Am I a ghost? No, I can’t be, it’s impossible.

I see myself again, except I’m not lying in a hospital bed. I’m partying, smoke in hand. I grab a beer and take a sip, not realizing that I am drinking a demon out to destroy me. I collapse on the floor. My friends run to me. Then it fades. . . .

I want to curl up in a ball and die, but I think, I’m already dead. This was my fault; how could I do this to my family? If I feel this bad, my family probably feels ten times worse. I don’t know what to do. I want to go

    My right foot questionably steps onto the navy blue designed carpeted room and a rush of cool presses up against my skin. This room... this room could be the beginning of my future. That makes it terrifying, but exhilarating all at the same time. I force my trembling body to push through the nerves and my body straightens with confidence like a warrior entering his battleground. Cleanliness tickles my nose and my eyes are drawn to what looks like golden pillows on wheels.…

    I nestled in the suffocating sheets of the bedding in my room, the room I had been confined to since the tragedy. The tragedy that twisted my once perfect life into a tumbling spiral of pure sorrow that I couldn't grasp. I breathed raggedly peering into the complete blackness of the room.

    Disbelieve and fear shook my mind as I lie on my back, sitting on top of concrete sandwiched in between the hot metal hood of a car, as the weight pressed down against me it didn’t hurt, my body was too numb to feel anything.

I could see sirens and people gathering around me watching in disbelieve, I kept fading in and out of conscience I felt like I was close to death.…

    Growing up as an only child, the relationship between my parents and I was always very close.

I knew that our relationship would change, but I had no idea it would be tested so quickly after they moved.…
