Crash…
I opened my eyes slowly to find a doctor hovering over me, "Honey?"
I blinked and looked around, "Whe-"
"Oh my goodness, "My mom came in, "Honey, Meghan, how are you feeling? Thank god you woke up."
"What?" I said confused, "Where am I? Where's Katelyn."
The doctor looked at my mom. My mom looked at me, "Honey, I'm so sorry."
I looked at her strangely, "For what?"
"Katelyn's dead," She said.
That's all I heard. Everything went black.
I woke up again to see my mom sitting there. "Honey, you alright?" She asked.
Tears spilled down my face, "Please tell me this is all a nightmare?"
My mom looked at sorrowfully, "No, I'm sorry Meghan. Katelyn didn't make it. Her position in the car was more critical then it was for you. You went into a coma which is a little better. You've been in this state for 4 months."
I stared at my sheets on me, "This was all my fault." My mom shooked her head at me, "No honey, this is not your fault. It's not anyone's fault."
Just then my brothers walked in. Jade looked at me and smiled, "Hey sis. How ya doing?" I gave him a small smile, "ok." Jade was 23 years old. He's in his last year in college. He came home to visit. My other brother, Danny, was 15. He looked at me, "I'm sorry about Katelyn." I nodded not being able to say anything. "It's alright to spill out your feelings," Jade said handing me a diary, "Right anything you feel like in that. It may help you."
So here I am writing about all of this. It does help as Jade said.
The doctors came in to check on me. They said that I was doing well. I wondered how long I had to stay here. All I wanted to do was lock myself in my room. It's not going to be the same without Katelyn. She was my best friend since we were in 2nd grade. We told our secrets together, we went shopping together, we did everything together. We were like sisters. She was always there for me when I needed her and I was there for her. I dreamed on spending time with her in college. We both got accepted with full scholarships to Harvard University. We both planned our outfits and everything for our first day of college. That all changed. I missed two months of college. I stared at the ceiling thinking about all this. How would it be at Harvard without her?
I sighed.
My mom came back with some food. "Here," She said and handed me the tray. I shook my head, "I'm not hungry."
"How can you not be hungry?" She exclaimed, "Honey, you got to eat something. You need to build up your strength."
I sighed and took the tray. There was no arguing with her. I silently ate my food. Soon I finished and I gave her the tray, "I'm going to bed, goodnight."
"Good night," She said and quietly left the room.
I opened my eyes again. I just wanted to be alone. I wanted silence. I let memories fill my mind, happy memories of my times with Katelyn.
