PEACE FOR SIMON
Chapter 1 loss of a brother
The church bells rang out as the service began. Everyone was in tears because there lay Simon in a wooden coffin. He'd been killed in an unfortunate car accident but no one was more upset than Alvin, for he was the one driving that night.
(Flash back)
Alvin was racing around his neighborhood in his new car, unaware that his brother Simon was out going to get some books from the library to work on his report. Just then, Alvin came rushing around the corner. When he saw Simon, he slammed on the brakes but it was too late. He hit Simon.
Alvin rushed out to his brother but despite his best efforts to save him, it was too late. Simon died in his brother's arms. Alvin sat crying as the last words his brother said repeated in his mind… "Good bye Alvin. I love you." He hoped that this was all a bad dream and that he would wake up and his brother would be safe at home sleeping right beside him, like he always does. But that, sadly, was not the case.
(End Flash Back)
As the service was ending, everyone was saying goodbye one last time. As Alvin was saying goodbye to Simon for the last time he started crying uncontrollably. When Dave, Alvin, and Theodore got home, all Alvin could think about was how would he be able to live with himself, knowing that he killed his own brother. Alvin did not get any sleep at all that night. All he did was keep asking himself why did this happen? Why did Simon have to pay for his reckless behavior? 'Why not me?' he asked himself as he was crying uncontrollably. The next day Alvin decided to write a eulogy for Simon. When he finished it read -
To my loving brother Simon. Even though your life was cut short, I cherished every moment of it. We had a lot good times and even though we fought a lot, and I may not have shown it often, I loved you more than any brother could have. Whenever I was feeling sad, or had a problem and needed to talk about something, you were always there to help me. You really meant the world to me but now that you're gone, I don't know who to turn to. You were the only one who could fully understand what I was going through at the time. Simon I don't know why this had to happen but all I can say is I'm sorry for all the mean things and jokes I did to you. Good-bye Simon, I will never forget the good times we had and spent together. Your loving brother, Alvin Seville.
