The car crash
My name is Crystal I can remember those long walks my grandpa and I had. How he would tell me over and over how him and grandma met, he would always have a smile in his face whenever he told me that story.It made me feel happy knowing that him and grandma were happy together. “Long black hair just like your mom”. Grandpa Fonzo would say as he brushed my hair. He told me how some way I acted reminded him of how my grandma Lucia acted. The tone of grandpas voice did not sound like it was a good thing but I still took it as a compliment.
But now those long walks and amazing stories of him as a child and other great memories were gone. It all started when my parents and I were going to take a family trip to Florida. My mom and I were singing to our favorite song but there was this one car that my dad saw from far away speeding. The person in the car had so much hurry to go somewhere it kept crossing each car in its way until it was coming our way, my dad tried moving away from the car so he wouldn't get hit. But what my dad hadn't noticed was that their was a big truck coming his way too. The next thing I know the car is falling down a side of a road I can hear the screams of my parents and the sound of shattering glass .The car crashes I wake up in hospital and two strangers in front of me say that I been in a comma for a very long time. They claim that their my parents I say “ no you are not my parents my parents are named Fonzo and Lucia”. They say “no they are not your parents that is your grandpa and grandma”. They walk in Fonzo and Lucia “ mom , dad where have you guys been?” says Crystal everyone in the room looks at each other.
So the doctor takes both Crystals parents and grandparents outside to talk about something thing. Once the doctors let them back into the room her grandma and grandpa say “ we been busy sorry we haven't come lately. “Its okay mom and dad says Crystal Still thinking her grandma Lucia and grandpa Fonzo are her parents. A month later Crystal can finally go home but not with her parents but with Fonzo and Lucia. Crystal ‘s head started to hurt so she went to her room to rest she woke up a couple hours later. “Why am I at my grandparents house?” said Crystal to her self she rushes down to the living room and ask “ where is my mom and dad ?” “ Do you remember who we are?” says Lucia and Fonzo. “ yes you are my grandma and grandpa” all of her memories were coming back to her the next thing you know Crystal wakes up in the hospital she sees her grandma and grandpa asleep. They have sad and tired looks in their faces Crystal decides to wake them up “ grandma ! grandpa!”. They quickly wake up and say “ Crystal your finally up” her grandparents say with a great attitude. “ What do you mean finally up how long have I been asleep?” “Since the car crash” says her grandma. “The car crash? but that was a long time ago wasn't I just at your house yesterday with grandpa?’ says Crystal. “ No you must be imagining things you haven't woken up since months” “Where are my parents says Crystal her grandma and grandpa look at each other and say “ Your parents haven't woken up from their comma yet but don't worry they are fine.” Crystal wanted to see her parents but her grandparents told her to rest and that she could see them later. An hour passed “ Can i see my parents now s” says Crystal. Her grandma and grandpa say “ I don't think right now is a good time to see your parents” “Why not?”.
What Crystal didn't know was that her parents had already died on the day of the car crash but to not worry her , her grandpa and grandma told her that her parents were in a coma. Grandma Lucia and Grandpa Fonzo started to cry and her grandpa said “ The reason we do not want you seeing your parents right now is because they died on the day of the car crash they didn't make it out alive”. Once Crystal could come out the hospital the first thing she did was go visit her parents in their graves. As she watched their graves she tried so hard to be strong but couldn't so she started to cry her grandma and grandpa took her home to calm down. Soon it was night and Crystal went to sleep. Crystal and her mom were singing to their favorite song in car and her dad saw a car from away speeding coming their way.
She was reliving the car crash again but this time she could see the way her parents died she woke up screaming and crying her grandma and grandpa walk and asks what's wrong. “I know how they died ” says Crystal “ What are you talking about” says her grandma “ my parents the car crash was no accident the car that was speeding from far away was a man and his wife”. The man worked with Crystal dad and his wife worked with Crystal’s mom those two disliked Crystal’s parents because they had everything the perfect family and a lot more things at least that's what they thought. Up to this day Crystal still has the same dream over and over about the car crash.
