I'm not really sure where this came from...
Already Gone
A frigid night.
An icy road.
A young girl and her mother.
A teen who fell asleep at the wheel.
A car, careening out of control.
An impact.
Less than a second later, a crash.
Car alarms beeping, and doors opening, heads poking out, only to pull back from the flames.
The little girl heard none of this.
She saw the car, felt a harsh jolt, and then... nothing. She saw nothing. She heard nothing.
She didn't hear the fire truck's loud beeping.
She didn't hear the sad whispers from the crowd that had gathered.
She didn't see the rain, drizzling softly.
She didn't see the sleek silver car pull up, and the young boy stumble out.
She didn't see the tears pouring, cascading down his pale complexion, nor did she hear the anguished cries that tore his throat, calling her, begging his little sister to come back.
"AMANE! AMANE!"
She didn't see him fall on his knees, the tears on his face mixing with the rain. She didn't see his father put a hand on his shoulder, unsure of how to continue.
She didn't see the police officer tell them what happened, nor did she see her mother's funeral.
She saw nothing. She heard nothing. She didn't know that her big brother locked himself in his room for a month after the funerals. She didn't know that even after he came back out, he was never the same. That he locked all his true emotions up. That he never told anyone he had a younger sister, because it was too painful to add the next part.
She knew none of this, because she was already gone. From the moment of car hit her mother's car, she'd left this world. Left the world of warmth, and light and laughter, the world of joy and family, to go to the world of coldness- frigid, freezing coldness-, the world of despair, and darkness, and silence, and loneliness. There was no sound, nothing to see other than shadows.
Shadows. Nothing but shadows and silence for eternity. So the little girl never got the chance to grow up, to have her brother get over-protective over her and her first boyfriend. All because that one crash. The one she didn't feel, because she was already gone.
Gone. Trapped in darkness. In silence. For eternity.
