Author's note: I did not like the ending to the story and judging by the lack of reviews neither did you so I decided to revise it. More to come soon after I decide how exactly I want to transition to the next chapter.
I also do not own any rights to Bridge to Terabithia.

It was an ordinary April Saturday morning in Lark Creek, Virginia. A few cars buzz about in the streets on this Saturday morning. An alert goes out to the local fire station.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! We have a report of an MVA 63 mile marker I-81 Northbound 3 victims reported. No further information available at this time.
The station comes alive with activity as firemen race to their duty stations. The doors come open and the sirens wail. It is an uneasy 5 minutes as the men prepare themselves for working another car accident. The fire truck pulls up to a scene of carnage where a blue Toyota and a red Volvo seem to be melted into one. The firemen race to the wreckage as the fire chief pulls out 3 sheets ready to cover the bodies when a cry comes out.
We Have a live one here!!
The chief instantly puts away the sheets and pulls out the jaws of life and runs over to the scene of twisted metal. He takes out his radio.
This is chief Brimley we need immediate medevac at mile marker 63 I -81 northbound young male 5' 2" 100 lbs.
The men work frantically to pry the car open and free the trapped boy. After feverish work they get him out place him on a backboard and begin to take vitals and stabilize him for transport. The men strain to hear the sound of an approaching helicopter as the vitals begin to worsen. As the sound arrives they lose pulse and they begin CPR. The helicopter touches down and they load the boy in for transport. The flight nurse continues CPR and finally regains a pulse as they race toward the hospital. The pilot radios the situation to the trauma team waiting for their arrival.
The Nurses crowd around a boy barely 11 years old and the prospects of 12 seem unlikely.
Get that crash cart in here STAT!! He's flat lining!! Charge to 100J. Clear!!
With a jolt the meter comes back to life as does the boy . The Nurses continue franticly trying to keep him alive.

Leslie Burke wakes up Saturday morning to the smell of pancakes. She gets dressed and goes downstairs where Bill is waiting for her with a short stack, but Leslie isn't hungry there is just something not right about the day. She politely excuses herself and walks out the door. She walks down the driveway expecting to see Jess hard at work at the long list of chores his father leaves for him on Saturday mornings.
When he wasn't there she went to the door where she found May Belle downstairs watching cartoons.
Where's Jess? she asked.
He went to the art museum with Ms. Edmunds.
Oh. We were supposed to meet up after he finished chores. I guess I will see him later.
Leslie continued to wander down the lane trying to figure out what was wrong, she decided that the only thing that could make her feel better was a trip to Terabithia. She walked along the path taking in the scenery and watching the clouds go by.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The boy in the Emergency Room continued to fight for his life, but for how long nobody knew. The police were desperately trying to find his family so he would not die alone.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Leslie arrived at the log and grasping the rope she leapt for the entrance to her kingdom, as she neared the gate there was a snap and the gate was no longer in her grasp. She silently fell to the waters below where the current swept her off to die.

In the hospital a boy was quickly losing his battle for life. The monitors went dead and the boy lost his fight.
