Chapter 1*************************************************************
The Accident
*******************************************************************
It was several days later that mom got to go home. We were all in the car. It was raining really hard and thundering. I was so scared. I looked over and saw Sammy crying silently. I decided then that I would try and be brave for him. I fell asleep with that thought in my mind. I woke up to the sound of a car horn and screeching tires. My parents were screaming. We fell off a cliff and fell to the ground. Sammy was screaming. I looked at my parents and immediately knew they were dead...
I cried silently but then I turned to Sammy. Thank goodness he was still alive. I didn't want to lose him too. I made up my mind there. I got him out of the car seat and got out of the car minutes before it exploded. I walked for a long time, chanting 'Gotta save him. Gotta save him' over and over again like a mantra. Hours or maybe days later. It didn't matter to me as long as I got there. We arrived at the hospital. I almost jumped for joy but remembered Sammy and dragged myself into the lobby. The nurses ran to me and started asking all of these questions. I began to cry.
I sat on the floor with Sammy in my arms and just cried. They took Sammy from my arms and lead me to a couch. I told them what had happened. We didn't have any other relatives so our doctor took us in. She was a nice old thing. She had laugh lines and was pleasantly plump. We stayed with her for 3 years until, she too, died.
We were sent to the orphanage down the road from the hospital. Sammy and I were so scared. We were shown our room. Him and me shared a room since Sammy didn't want to leave me and I insisted I'd feel better if he was close to me. I never forgot my vow. I'll protect him with my life.
