Chapter 1: 1987
Shawn stood on top of his dad's truck. His dad was coming down from the tree he was in. He needed to get more wood. He spotted Shawn on the truck. He frowned.
"Shawn, what are you doing up there?"
"I wanna help." Henry came up to the truck. He opened the door and lifted Shawn up off the roof.
"It's dangerous up there. You could fall off and get hurt. Now get inside the truck."
"Ok dad." Shawn said wrapping his arms around his father's neck. They went to the store to get more wood. When they returned, Henry climbed back up into the tree. Shawn stayed on the ground and handed him the tools he needed.
The wagon started to roll down the hill of the drive way. Shawn went after it. Henry jumped out of the tree. He pushed Shawn out of the way before the crazy drunk driver could hit him. It hit Henry instead.
"Dad!" Shawn yelled running to his father. "Dad!" Tears started streaming down his little cheeks. "Help! Somebody help!" Their neighbor, Mrs. Taylor was in her mid-20's and had two young kids. She saw Shawn in the road with Henry. She called 911. She went outside.
"Shawn." She said in a very sweet voice. "Shawn, honey." Shawn turned around. She came over to him. She put her hand on his shoulder. "Shawn, what happened?"
"The wagon rolled down the hill. I went after it. D-dad jumped out of the tree and pushed me out of the way and the car hit him." Shawn said frantically. She wrapped her arms around him and buried his head into her chest.
"It's going to be ok. It's going to be ok. The ambulance is on its way." She picked him up and rocked him back and forth as he clung to her for dear life. At that moment, Gus's parents were going to drop him off to play with Shawn. They noticed the scene. They got out and made Gus stay in the car. They crossed the street and walked over to Mrs. Taylor.
"Natalie? What's going on?"
"Hello Bill. Henry was hit by a car."
"Oh my god." Said Gus's mother. "Where was Shawn during all of this?"
"Unfortunately he saw the whole thing. I'm trying to calm him down." Mrs. Taylor said putting Shawn back on the ground. He looked at his dad and then at the Gusters' and then back at his dad again. Tears fell down his cheeks.
"Shawn, where's your mother?" Mrs. Guster asked.
"At work."
"Ok. Why don't you go wait for me and Mr. Guster in the car? Gus is there." Shawn shook his head and went towards the car.
