Chapter 1 Last Moments.

"Finally" I said a feeling of relief filling my heart and soul, Finally help was coming, I smiled at the lights flashing from a distance.


"Mom, look help is coming" I said looking at the lights.


"Hold on mum let me direct them!" I said getting up and making sure she is sitting next to our car.


"Hey over here! " with the cold freezing my body i screamed and jumped at the same time, Waving my torch at the lights, The storm was not helping us at all, It rained hard than before and the wind was not helping at all.


"Mom!" i called her and she didn't respond, I stopped jumping and rushed to her side.


"Hey mom help is here" Her eyes were closed and why were there closed?, I asked myself and when i got the answer my heart sank, I shook her trying to wake her up but her body was cold, Too cold for a human being.


"Mom!" my scream was louder than the rain, I pulled her body into a hug and held her tightly. I've never felt a pain like that before, This pain was different it crushed my soul and i wanted to die, I closed my eyes and wept, I caused this my mind screamed at me, I heard the ambulance's siren and i knew it's just a matter of seconds.


Two police cars parked next to our car, The ambulance parked near our car and I thought i saw a fire truck, I never got a close look. Three people got out of the Ambulance, two male medics and a woman.The tall woman's frame towered over my young frame, I saw her lips moving but i heard nothing at first, I failed to make out what she was saying to me. My focus was on my mother and i kept her close to me.


"Mom open your eyes, I promise you i will sing for you, Mom please" tears ran down my cheeks, my trembling lips kept on begging her. My cold wet hands kept her in my arms close to me.


"Sweetheart let her go and let me look at you, Are you hurt?, Are you bleeding?, Can i do a quick check up on you" The female medic's voice was soft and comforting judging her hair do and those comfortable shoes, I was sure she was a mum, all most mothers look the same.


"No!" i screamed at her and my voice was filled with rage and it sounded like an animal was roaring at her but she kept her calm self and never showed any emotion and her face, she kept that soft lovely expression.


"Sweetheart" the lovely medic said putting her hands on me trying to pull me away from my Mother.


"No, arghh!" I screamed at her again, I heard her sigh, i never checked what the other police officers where doing and she was trying to take my Mother away from me.


"No mom open your eyes please, I promise you i will never disappoint you again, I will dump Nathan and focus on college, I will stop partying and coming home late, I will never set foot at that drug house ever again" I kept on begging my mother ignoring my cold trembling lips, I was drenched, the cold was now taking over my body and i couldn't feel my toes.


"Guys a little help here" The woman turned around and called her work mates and i saw two man approaching me, I held on tight to my mother and closed my eyes.


"We are here to help please let me do my job, You are cold you need dry clothes, I promise you we will take good care of your Mother" she said.


It kept on raining messing up my vision, when i opened my eyes, I saw the police officers helping each other they opened our car and took my brother's body.


"Jonathan No!" I screamed at them and raised my heavy hand trying to reach him but i couldn't, my other hand kept my Mother close to me, They were taking my brother away from me.


I felt two strong hands pulling me away from my Mother, I used all my strength to fight them and hold on to my mother but i wasn't strong enough but still i gave them one hell of a fight, kicking, and screaming, they managed to get me inside a police car, I tried to get out but the doors were all locked, I sat and weeped bitterly.


"Yes we are here, unfortunately we got here late"

"The two males did not make it, Seemed like one died on the sport and the other shortly after the accident and the woman died when we got here"

"The girl survived but she is traumatized"

"Yes, Okay sir".


I heard a male voice speaking on the phone, He got inside the police car and it was a white police officer in his late fiftys, brown eyes, short brown hair, a mostach and hairy hands, I tried to use the opportunity and get out but i failed, for his age he was fast.


"Take it easy love, you will hurt yourself, I am taking you to the nearest hospital and I'm sorry we got here late, We spoke on the on the phone remember " he said looking at me.


"I know my words won't bring back your family or comfort you and i can never take the pain away " he said starting his car and i stared at him tears running down my eyes, I wanted to punch something or bite something.


I turned my face away and stared outside his window, I saw them lifting my Mother, I saw her lifeless hand dangling, They placed her inside a black bag and zipped the bag, they opened the Ambulance doors and took her body inside and two more bags were waiting for her inside, I wanted to die, my whole family was gone, I started to bang my head against the window my emotions took over my thoughts and body.


"Stop that you will hurt yourself " the police officer said getting out of his car seat and opening the back door, I never felt the pain in my head, My heart was too broken, I kept on banging my head aganist the window, I saw blood running down on my forehead and my reflection stared back at me blood flowing down my face and i banged my head again, the police officer grabbed my hands and chained my hands.


"We must get you to the nearest hospital now" his calming voice reminded me of my Dad, Jason Walker my Father and the image i had of him was him sitting in his driving seat and a broken brunch in his chest impaling him.


"Arghhh!" I screamed at the police officer and felt a sharp pain in my head, my vision blurred and i felt my body falling,the officer held me before my body hit the ground.


"It's okay i got you," was the last thing i heard before passing out.
