Title: To Protect
Author: Winter Blaze
Author Note: I am not sure how to write a flashback, but I will give it my best. I just hope it comes out all right. The next chapter will be short but it has to be that way.
Chapter 1: Blame
I have flashes every now and then. Flashes that come when ever they want. "Matt if you don't hurry your going to be late" said my mom.
FLASHBACK
Walking down to the attendance office to wait for my mom, so I opened the door and sat down, I just sat down when I heard a car crash. I rushed out of the cream-colored office along with everybody else. We all rushed to the left and in the corner where the double glass doors are. I couldn't believe when I saw my mom's car out there all crunched up. They removed the driver's side door and pulled out her body, and then I left. I went to the nurse's office because I had just gotten sick. Sick with realization that my mom would not be there with me or the rest of my family.
END FLASHBACK
"Matt did you hear me?" Just then, I realized that it was my sister Lizzie who warned me about being late, not my mom. "Yea I heard you. I-I was just thinking." "We have to go." We rushed downstairs and out the front door. Our dad was still asleep. I knew if I could not control the tears that where threatening to spill, Lizzie would ask me what's wrong and if she asked that question. I would tell. I would tell her what I think. I tried hard to stop those tears, but they came anyway.
"Matt what is wrong?" Over the years, she has softened up a bit, but now I wish she hadn't. "I'm the reason mom died. If I didn't have to go to my doctor's appointment that day, she-she would still be here. Here with all of us and dad would stop giving me these death glares when I walk by" I finally said I finally got it off my chest. She pulled over and said, "Matt do not blame your self. You did not know that that was going to happen. Do you hear me?" "Yes, but dad aggress with me. I can see it in his eyes when I walk past him." She hugged me and then said, "Don't worry everything will be okay. Dad is just grieving." and then she pulled back out and we where on our way to school once again.
Everyone said they where sorry, but none of them really knew my mom; except Lanny and Melina, and the day ended in a big blur I knew I had homework I just didn't know what class it was in. I waited for Lizzie next to the car. When she finally got to the car, she unlocked her side first then my side and we started for home again.
