Authors Note: I hope every body likes this chapter. I'm not really sure about all the medical stuff in the rest of this story, but I guess I can just make it up since it's fan fiction. By the way it's summer, Marry is at basketball camp, Simon is at baseball camp, and Ruthie is at summer cam. Matt is taking a few courses of school over the summer. Thanx to the reviewers…

Beauey and luceceline:

I'm glad you liked it and I hope this is updating soon enough. I might not update for a while after this because I'm super busy and we're going out of town this weekend but I should generally update once a week.

lilmonkeygirl31: Thanx, here's the next chapter…

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters only the story.

Matt's pov

We were riding in the car and the whole time I felt strange. I had the feeling that something awful was about to happen. It was a horrible feeling…premonition, I think. It didn't seem like Lucy noticed she was listening to the blarring radio, occasionally singing along. She had a beautiful voice. "Thanks," she said softly, "for taking me I mean. Life would be a lot harder without my big brother." I forced a smile, which was hard since this feeling was taking over. "Are you Ok," she asked, eyeing me suspicisly.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I answered reluctantly. I went off into my own world thinking about what this feeling could possibly be about. Then I knew. I was thrown suddenly back into reality buy Lucy's ear piercing scream.

"MATT LOOK OUT!" I heard a loud honk of a truck, but the warning was too late. I hadn't been paying attention and I didn't see it coming from the side. We crashed. The car swerved and circled sliding off the road. I tried to slam the breaks and stop us but we hit a tree. Unfortunately the truck and the tree hit on Lucy's side of the car. When we stopped I couldn't think I couldn't breathe. I was scared to turn around and see if Lucy was OK. I starred straight forward not looking to the side. "Luce," I called. "Lucy," that time I shouted. No answer. I got out of the car and went around to the other side. I opened the much wrecked door and finally looked at her. She was unconscious, but still breathing. She was alive (at least for now), thank God. I took a deep breath and tried to grasp what just happened. I couldn't and it wasn't making sense almost like it wasn't happening, like maybe it was a dream or something. I got in the car and sat Lucy so that she was in my lap. I sat there holding her and feeling her breathe lightly. Before I knew it the ambulance was there. I guess someone around had called and they put Lucy in an ambulance. I was told that I could ride with them or they could provide a ride home. Of course I wanted to stay with Lucy. I got in the ambulance. She was in a bed in the back. I stood beside her letting reality seep into my veins. It was hitting now and hitting hard. It occurred to me that my sister could die and that it was because of me I was driving the car and I was responsible. "I'm sorry," I whispered hoarsely, fighting back tears, "Luce I'm sorry." One of the paramedics approached me.

"What is your relationship with this girl?"

"I'm her brother, her big brother, the one who's suppose to protect her. The one who's suppose to make sure nothing happens to her, not the one who's suppose to get her in a car accident." I said these things without even realizing that I was telling my inner emotions to some guy I hardly knew.

"I'm sorry…I know that this is rough for you, but I need to know where her parents are. Do you think you could call them and tell them to meet us at the Glen Oak Hospital?" He handed me a cell phone and left without another word. I hadn't even thought about my parents. I didn't want to think about how upset they would be at their child being in the hospital. I didn't want to think about the pain it would cause them. I knew I had to call though; this was my fault and I would take responsibility for what I had done.
