Stupid
It was stupid I know but I just couldn't help it. I was just so excited to see my big brother right across the street I couldn't help but run up to him.
Ever since mom and dad's divorce and I ended up living with mom while him with dad we just never saw each other often, at least not as often as I'd like. Sure everything got a little better ever since he paid for my eye operation but mom and he could only tolerate so much of each other that he visiting my home was a rare event. I was the one who would take the time to visit him; it was never the other way around.
So imagine my excitement, when I wasn't able to see my brother for a whole month, then finally I saw him right across the street, immediately I ran up to him. I couldn't help not noticing the flashing red neon sign saying DO NOT WALK or the SUV heading for me or the shocked and scared look on my brother's face or the people's screams. And I definitely didn't notice someone pushing me out of the way. To all that I paid no attention to. For someone with newly repaired eyes I could be really blind.
I very literally crashed back down to reality, the pain made me realize just how close to death I was.
My brother ran right up to me and his friends started calling for help. I told them that I was fine and that there was no need to call for help. I was just a little shaky. My brother embraced me fiercely so much so that I felt like he was crushing me. When I saw people pointing to something behind me I couldn't help but to look despite my brother's attempt at hiding the gruesome scene from me I was able to turn my head enough to see it all; the blood, the telltale coat, and the stillness of the body.
The sight made my blood run cold and caused my body to tremble terribly.
Soon the paramedics came they checked on me and Kaiba. They saw that I was okay except for a few bruises and scrapes on my legs and arms that I just noticed when they pointed it out. I started shivering terribly though I didn't feel cold. My brother questioned why this was so and they explained that I was still in shock and just needed someplace warm to rest. I saw Kaiba being carried in a gurney into the ambulance. I was numb to all of this; it didn't feel like it mattered any. All that was in my mind was that because of me Kaiba is in the hospital, possibly dying.
Brother got me home, into my room, on my bed, tucking me in plenty of blankets, and explained to mom what happened without it resulting in an argument. I was left alone in my room, left with my thoughts and all of them depressed me. Because of me Kaiba got hurt. Because of me Kaiba might be dying. Because of me Mokuba might lose a brother.
Mom entered my room, carrying a bowl of soup followed by brother which was a surprise as I thought he left already. Mom placed the bowl of soup on my table and brother sat down by the foot of the bed. After a few moments of silence mom asked me why I didn't check the street before getting across.
It was stupid I know but I just couldn't help it. I was just so excited to see my big brother right across the street I couldn't help but run up to him.
And I cried and cried and cried...
