The Accident

Oh Fuck!

I saw the car, I knew we had nowhere to go.

This couldn’t be happening. It's just a bad dream, it's just a bad dream. But if it was a dream why did it hurt so much? Why could I feel myself rolling and hear the sound of things cracking?
And then the rolling stopped and everything went quiet, too quiet.

“SI!” I screamed, “SI, WHERE ARE YOU?” There was no answer so I screamed again and again, and again.
Then came the sound of people running towards me, calling to me, but all I could do was scream out for my husband, my soul mate, my first true love.

“It’s ok, you’re going to be ok” came a strangers voice. But I didn't care about me.
“Where’s Si, what’s happened to Si?” I screamed.
Then I saw the man who changed everything, asking me if I was ok, standing there after smashing into us asking me if I'm ok, with his own blood on his face and mine and Si's blood on his hands, forever. I screamed at him to stay away from me.

Then I heard a helicopter, it was so loud I knew it was landing.
“Is that for Si, oh my god what’s happened, where’s Si?”
I could feel the wind from the helicopter as it landed close by, it was so loud, and I couldn’t hear Si.
People were surrounding me and trying to calm me. My leg hurt so badly and I wanted to lay it down but it wouldn’t move. My arms hurt.
“Leave my hands alone, don’t touch my hands” I screamed out at the people around me, my hands just didn't seem to be where my brain thought they were.

I felt weird, broken.

Then I heard the helicopter take off.
“Have they taken Si? What’s happened to my husband? Why wouldn’t he answer me?”
Then it struck me and I stopped screaming.

I knew, I just knew.
