Chapter 2.

The Accident

In Matt's Car

Matt was playing the radio really low when Linkin Park's song "One Step Closer" came on. He only got to cut it up at the end full blast. But he started singing alone.

Matt/radio: One step closer to the edge and I'm about to break!

The song ended and the car started to speed up without Matt hitting the gas. The car started to go toward a big oak tree. He tried to hit the breaks but the car wouldn't stop. Then he hit the tree.

In Jeff's Car

Jeff and I were going on the some road Matt was when Jeff saw his brother's car. Jeff stopped his car and we got out unprepared for what we were going to see.

Jeff: Matt! Matt! Matt were- oh my God Matt.

Matt was lying by his car battered and bruised crumpled in a heap.

Mandy: Matt. (Crying)

I dropped to my knees and tried to help Jeff pull Matt up when the ambulance came.

Paramedic 1: Please don't try to move him. If he has internal bleeding you moving will only make it worse.

The paramedics moved Matt onto a stretcher and loaded him into the ambulance.

Paramedic 2: One of you may ride with him.

Jeff: You ride with him. I'll drive.

Mandy: No, I'll drive you ride.

Jeff got in the ambulance. And I got into his car. I followed the ambulance to the hospital.

Mandy: Jeff, how is he?

Jeff: They're taking him back to the emergency room now.
