Chapter 5
Matt tried to open his eyes, everything was so white.
“I’m dead” he thought, “I’m in heaven.”
“Matt,” he heard a woman’s soft southern accent calling him, “Matt…”
“Mom,” he thought, now he knew he was dead. His mother was calling him. He was finally going to be reunited with his mother.
“Matt, Matt wake up,” the voice called over and over again.
As Matt slowly opened his eyes he realized he wasn’t dead, he was lying in a hospital bed. As he was able to focus his eyes he realized it wasn’t his mother calling him, but Emily.
He stared at Emily’s tear streaked face, her eyes filled with concern.
“Oh my God,” she cried as she saw Matt’s eyes open, “Jeff! Jeff! He’s up!”
“Matt!” Emily sobbed as she threw herself on top of him. Matt felt pain shoot through his body, but he didn’t care. He tried to put his arms around Emily, but realized he wasn’t able to, he couldn’t move at all. She sat up; she softly stroked Matt’s bruised face, tears spilling down her cheeks.
“Em…” Matt managed to choke out. He stared at her face, her eyes puffy, she looked so weak… His mind was spinning. What happened? Why was he there?
“Matt!” he heard his brother call. He looked up at Jeff, whose hands were clasped over his mouth.
“Jeff… what happened?” Matt asked as he brother wrapped him in a hug. He heard Jeff cry.
“You don’t remember?” Emily asked her voice cracking. He looked from Emily to Jeff… not sure what happened.
“Matt…” Jeff said softly as he stood next to Emily, “You don’t remember the accident?”
Matt’s mind raced… the accident? Then he remembered the crash of metal against metal, the soft liquid pouring down his forehead, the screams…
“Shane…” Matt said softly. He heard Emily sob as he said the name. She collapsed onto Matt’s chest as she sobbed.
Matt studied Jeff’s face, Jeff’s eyes avoided Matt’s.
“Jeff,” Matt demanded, “Where’s Shane? Is he ok?”
Jeff shook his head, not able to get the words out. He watched Emily’s body convulsing as she sobbed into Matt’s chest.
“Jeff, tell me,” Matt said, “What happened to Shane? Where is he?”
“He’s dead,” Jeff heard Emily’s muffled cry from Matt’s chest, “He died Matt! Shane’s dead.”
