{Flashback}
I remember laughing and singing with mom, nan, and Hope. I remember the screeching of tires, Then the truck hit us. It was on the passenger side where nan and Hope were. I remember the car flipping at least twice. I remember hearing mom screaming out in pain. I remember my arm felt like it was on fire. I remember hearing sirens and everything going black. I seen a light and saw mom, dad, Hope, and nan. They told me it was ok to let go. I remember them fading away and opening my eyes to what looked like a hospital room. I felt something heavy in my hand and looked over and smiled a little when I seen paw. I squeezed his hand and he woke up.
"Where's J-me?" I asked.
"He's with Tony, Ziva, and TJ." He replied calmly.
"How are the others?" I asked "Are they doing ok."
He had a painful look in his eyes and that's when I realized they were red and puffy.
"They have all gone to a better place now" Paw choked out.
"No" I mumbled to myself "No it can't be. No."
I did not know how to respond. I tried moving but it hurt. Paw and J-Me were all the blood relatives I had left. I asked him to come sit with me on the bed and he did. We just sat there in each other's arms.
-Break-
I was let go from the hospital 2 days later. J-me couldn't come see me because he was too young but the whole NCIS gang came to see me. They tried to be "peppy" for a loss of better words, but I could see the pity and pain inside their eyes. Looking out the window while Paw drove I did not want to get too deep into my thoughts. /the car pulled into the driveway and I got out. Walking through the door, I knew would be unlocked, I was shocked to see a "Welcome Home" banner and all of the people I knew as my family beneath. I smiled as soon as I seen J-me. Unlike any other brother and sister J-me and I got along really well. Faith and him didn't though. I held out my arms and saw him hesitate, only then remembering the cast on my arm and the bandage on my head.
"I'm fine" I said "It doesn't hurt."
Then he walked into my arms and gave me a great big hug and started crying. I hate seeing him cry. Hugging him close I let him let it all out. We stood in the middle of the room hugging each other while everybody else went in the other room. That lasted for 5 minutes and then he broke the silence.
"We made your favorite" he said "and we got your favorite cake." So we walked hand in hand into the kitchen where everybody was talking low. I knew they were probably talking about the funeral arrangements and how J-me and I were handling everything. I pretended I didn't notice. The funerals were on a Wednesday that next week.
