Teen fiction
The accident
Chapter 1
Three years ago
I would have never dreamt of today. I would have been like any other stereotypical teenager; hanging out with her friends after school, watching late night movies with hunter, my ex- who dumped me two days before valentine day. Sucks to be me at the moment.
Well two weeks into January, few hours after the sun had set, I was cruising round town with no destination to reach and ended up at the west coast of New York, closely sated to lake Ontario.
my battery began to fail and the car stopped abruptly on the road , practically in the middle of no where. I knew nothing about cars and had no idea what to do, my phone was surviving on half a bar and wouldn't have been able to call at all.
Who knew what crawling creep was right in front of the door, so I didn't bother trying to exit the car. About fifteen minutes later I got frustrated and began hitting both my arms and head on the steering. The car grumbled loudly and the wheels started moving, slowly.
I grabbed the wheels by the steering and stepped on the brake for friction but the car kept on moving, gradually moving faster and in the wrong direction then suddenly it hit something then went up flying in the air and landed side ways.
My last prayers came flushing through my mind this wasn't how I imagined my death. I was to be in this stripped coffin dressed in a blue suit and fitted in my best pair of Oxfords with a smile tugging against my lips and then I'd be layed to rest.
That was the best funeral anyone could wish for but it all came down to this,me,my car and a deserted looking lake.
The tyres slipped into the lake slowly,
creaking then at all at once. It was like being restricted from the fireworks of the fourth of July. Weirdly, the stars shun out brightly and was dazzling. At that moment I felt like adaline , the fictional character.
I could feel oxygen cut loose from mouth into my blood and it was all gone. The doors were jammed and I couldn't break my way through the windshield or side glasses. Slowly my eyes shut close and I could tell how the beating of my heart was about to come to a halt. This was me accepting fate my final sight.

Chapter 2
*****
I don't know how or where or even what to ask about but I sight a light of bulb at the opening of my eyes. The question is where am I? I'm surrounded by faces that are covered with masks and it looks like I'm in a theatre, faces staring at me murmuring and finally my eyelids shut.
I'm awaken by the sudden noise and as I take a glimpse of my environment, I realise i'm in a hospital and my mom's sitting on the chair while my dad and siblings beside my bed looking at me. All I remember stars , bright dazzling stars. Mom raises her head up in alertness.
"Honey" she says
"Mom"my voice as brief as possible
"How are u feeling" dad asking
"I ache every where"
"Let me go get the nurse, the doctor was hoping you'd be awake by now
I grunt in reply as I felt a jab of pain at my sides as i turn to look at Emily (my little sister), She's been mopping.
As soon as she leaves the room. my memory floods back in, the road my car , the lake the stars and it's all blank except for the theatre. The little I could make out of it was murmuring.
"There's a major problem"I hear the doctor say
"What is it" dad says with curiosity
"She has a concussion that has to do with skull fractures that needs surgery and on a 70-30% that she may survive it or probably enter a coma but I will give her the appointment dates from when to when she will be coming before the surgery and I have prescribed some drugs for her".
"Ok , but when will she be discharged doctor"mom ask's
"In two days time we need to confirm if she is stable "
"Ok by honey will see you at home" mom and dad say
Then they left "Mr and Mrs Allon"the doctor calls back
"Yes, is there a problem doctor"dad replies
"No please call me davis"(doctor)
Ok Davis is there a problem"
"Not really but my advice is that for this summer vacation she needs about two weeks of rest before doing any other activities and she should take her medicine constantly"
"Ok thank you davis"mom says
*************
Two days later
"Here's the list of drugs u need to buy for her from the pharmacist"Mr Davis tells mom
"Ok thank you"
"Hey mom" I said weakly
"Hi honey, get in let's get u home" mom
said.
It was a forty five minutes drive from the hospital to the house, I was actually thinking of my friends and school ,Hunter was the least of my problems. I arrived at home entering the house i saw my brother Dave watching Netflix Trinkets, then he turned and said.
"Hey sis sorry about everything, get well soon".
I just nodded my head to weak to say or do anything. As I was walking upstairs started feeling dizzy and felt like fainting, finally entered my room dropped on my bed slept for like two hours woke, bathed,wore my pyjamas went down stairs to eat dinner. I didn't really want to eat anything so I just took a fruit until mom called me back.
"Honey I understand if you don't have appetite but you need to eat something heavy to take your drugs with.
I didn't plan to exactly turn back, because every step I take makes it feel like their dropping heavy and large stones on my head.
"Please just eat" emily mylittle sister said.
I quickly let out a sigh and sat down carrying the mashed potatoes and vegetable salad,dinner went quickly, all I just wanted was to get to my bed and sleep.
I went upstairs lying down on my bed checking my phone seeing from Allison
my bestieand others from the group. As I was replying them I heard my door opening appearing my little brother Matt,
"Hey matt" I say
" ummm..."
"what's wrong" I asked the way he looked at me as if he's scared
"I am sorry"
"For what"
"For letting u be like this, I should have taken u seriously when you said you weren't feeling properly, if I had known y wouldn't be like this"
"No, it's not Ur fault don't blame yourself, OK".
He comes and crouch over beside me as I answer the messages on my phone. Later I see it's 11:45,I switch of my phone on my Ac and start to doze of, dad and mom later come in to check if I had slept and carry Matt to his room.
"Good night"mom says I hear her but am far to gone into the sleep to reply her.
--------------------
some people just don't understand what your business is
Weeks passed, I had my Besties to help me with my work if not as I enter class Mrs Clinton would talk to me as if she has
no heart.
I really hated that woman, I rarely made friends I look quiet but when you get to know me I talk a lot , I managed to make past my classes and I didn't want anyone's pity so I told them the truth, then the devil himself came well I call him that now.
I tried to ignore him, but he just wouldn't leave me alone
"You know u can't keep ignoring me right"
"I can because you are a bloat"
"Ouch, that actually hurt" he said sarcastically
"leave me alone "
"Don't talk like that now, you know it was just a misunderstanding"
" Really, because you made it very clear you didn't want to be with me again"
The one thing I hate is that why boys can't just simply use one word to break up, but no he said "i don't ever want to see you again, never".
It didn't pain me until he said never , like why must you put never, I already get the fact you said its over .
Its....Gosh i am m going to get a headache
