SHORT AUTHORS NOTE ENDS HERE.

ONE MONTH AGO

Stevie POV

"Zander Zander Zander Zander Zander Zander!" I ran to him out of breath.

"What what what what what what what?" He mocked me.

I got out a small rectangular piece of plastic and shoved it in his face.

"You got your license!" He said excitedly.

"I know! I'm so excited! Now you don't have to drive me around everywhere like my servant!"

"Well, it's not like I really minded that. But yay I guess!"

"Wanna go out for lunch!?"

"And skip school? Steves, we can't."

"Fine then, negative Nancy. I'll just go with my brother."

"Fine, have fun." He waved and started walking to his next class. I saw Cory walking down the hallway.

"Cory!" I shouted. When he looked over I gestured for him to come here.

"What's up Steviekins?" He asked. That's his special nickname for me. He is the ONLY person I allow to call me that. Anyone else gets smacked.

"I was gonna drive out and get some lunch. Want to join me?"

"Wait, you were gonna go out by yourself? You can't you don't have your –" His eyes widened, as did his smile. "You got it!?"

"Yes! Now come on! Let's go burn some rubber!" I said as I pulled him out of the school. We walked over to his car and I got in the driver's seat.

"Hey, you gonna be okay driving this? I don't think you have before." He asked me.

"Dude, you're the one that took me out for my first lesson. And we went in this car! I'll be fine!"

"Okay, okay! I was just making sure."

I backed out of the parking spot, pulled out of the school and onto the highway.

"So where shall we go?" I asked.

"Hm, I'm in the mood for McDonalds." Cory said.

"McDonalds it is!" We drove until we had reached one and went inside.

About an hour later we were in the car and on our way back to school. We had the radio on really loud. Currently we were scream singing "Call Me Maybe." I was enjoying myself so much. We had to take a break from singing to let all of our laughter out. I looked down to the radio and turned it down.

"Stevie, watch out!" Cory yelled.

I looked up to see a giant truck coming right at us. Next thing I saw was blackness.

LATER THAT DAY

I woke up to the sound of people crying. I must've made a noise or something because all of a sudden everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at.

"Oh thank God!" My mother said as she ran towards me.

"I'm so glad you're okay!" Said my father. They both came up to me and wrapped me in a tight hug.

"Hello everyone. My name is Kate. I see she has woken up." A woman in a nurse's uniform said while walking in the hospital room. (Not a sleazy nurse's uniform, if that's what you're picturing)

"Yes, she just woke up." Mom told her.

"Well, we've looked at her tests. She has a broken rib, a concussion, and a broken wrist. Luckily they are clean breaks, so they should heal nicely."

"Great. When will she be able to go back to school?" Mom asked.

"She should be okay to go to school in, maybe, two weeks. Three at the most." Kate confirmed. 'The front desk said that she is allowed any visitors. It doesn't have to be just family. So while I go check on Cory, you may use the phone to call people, if you would like."

"Thank you." Daddy said. He walked up to the phone and dialed. "Hey boys, come to the hospital if you want to visit Steves and Cory." I heard him say. He must've called my other brothers.

"Dad." I said quietly.

"Yes sweetheart?"

"Will you call Gravity 5 for me?"

"Of course honey." He took my cell phone so he could get the numbers. In about 20 minutes, they were all in the room, except for Zander.

"Stevie! I'm so glad you're okay!" Kacey said as she ran up to the edge of my bed.

"Yeah, we were so worried when your dad called us!" Nelson spoke.

"I can't believe you got into an accident!" Kevin said. Kacey shot him a glare. "Sorry, that was insensitive." He said.

"It's okay. Hey, where's Zander?" I asked.

"He was at his Dad's house when he got the call." Nelson explained. Zander only gets to see his Dad on Fridays since his parents are divorced and he lives with his mom. "He said he'd be right over, but you know how far away Mr. Robbins lives." I nodded, showing that I understood.

It was maybe an hour after Kacey, Nelson, and Kevin left that Zander showed up.

"Hey Steves." He said as he walked into the room. "I'm sorry I took so long to get here. I was at my dad's."

"I know. Nelson told me."

"So how are you doing?" He asked ask he sat down on the edge of my bed, just like Kacey did earlier.

"I'm okay. "

"So what exactly is injured? Tell me so I know not to touch it." He said. I couldn't help but chuckle a little.

"I have a broken wrist and a broken rib. And a concussion."

"Ouch. I'm sorry Steves."

"It's okay. My broken bones don't hurt that badly. It's my head that's killing me."

"Sorry baby." He said. I rolled my eyes.

"Thanks."

I heard a loud sob from outside my door. My door opened to reveal both of my parents crying. Something was really wrong. My dad never cries.

"What happened?" I asked terrified.

"Cory." My mom managed to sob out.

"What about Cory!?" I was practically screaming now.

"Stevie he's…..he's dead." My mother then exploded into another round of sobs. I sat there in shock. My eyes started watering as I felt a strong hand grab my fragile one. I looked at Zander's concerned and shocked expression and i started to cry. Soon it turned into sobs. Zander pulled my closer, careful not to hurt me. As I snuggled into him he made no effort to calm me down. It was no use. I was a wreck. I snuggled into him and cried my eyes out. I couldn't believe this.

I had killed my brother.

Review please!
