In Her Shoes
Chapter:1
It's been years since my sister died. I'm Jamie and 16 years old. My sister Minnie who was 2 years younger than me died when she was 6 and I was 8. Minnie and I with some of out friends were playing hide-and-seek. Minnie was running across the road and didn't notice the car coming toward her. When she got in the middle of the road she stopped, turned and faced the car. She couldn't move since she was in shock. The driver wasn't paying attention because she was texting. We were telling at Minnie to move, but she wouldn't. Then it happened. Boom! Minnie flew 10 feet. The driver got out to help Minnie. The driver was so sorry she said she would pay all the medical bills. Half of the group ran to get our mom the other half stayed to help Minnie. The ambulance came and took Minnie to the hospital while Mom, Dad, and I followed. Minnie was whisked away into a room as soon as we got there. We waited and waited for the doctor to come out and tell us she would be OK it was just minor injures. He never did. The nurse came out an hour after we got there. She told us they did everything they could. Minnie broke her neck and died right away with no pain. I started screaming at the nurse saying you didn't even try to help her! Then everything went black.
I still have nightmares from that day, it plays over and over in my head as I cry myself to sleep. Her limp body all twisted the wrong way. Bones broken and her cry of agony as she flew through the air. Every night it's the same dream and I wake up screaming of a girl with short silky blond hair and a pink dress. I wake up screaming about Minnie.
I used to have the same color hair as Minnie, but I died it an auburn color. I could look at it an see Minnie there too. Everyday I would wonder what Minnie felt and was thinking that day. I would wonder what her life would have been like if she was still alive. I found that out Monday July 10, 2008. I still remember the love that came from her voice. I could hear Minnie's voice in my head saying come I will take you back to show you how I felt.
