Helping The Dead

One

I had Basket Case by Green Day blasting on the radio, Madison and I screaming the lyrics at the top of our lungs, having the time of our lives. We were just two innocent nineteen year olds ,who just wanted to have fun. "What song should we listen to next?" I said with a shorten of breath from all the singing. "Umm, I WRITE SINS NOT TRAGEDIES!!!" While hearing Madison sing I couldn't believe I had such a great friend, I shouldn't even say friend more like sister. I snapped back into reality when I heard Madison scream "IRIS!" I was driving on the wrong lane, a semi truck coming towards us at 80 miles per hour. That's all remember before everything black.
Who knew that within a matter of a second our lives would change for ever.
-A Week Later-
"She's awake! She's awake!" Said a woman
"Iris if u can hear me give me a signal" said the same lady again. I moved my fingers then I opened my eyes. I looked around, I started to panic, I started to cry. Why was I in the hospital? Why am I here?!?
"Sweetie! Your okay calm down. Im here I won't leave your side!" Said my mom trying to hold back tears.
"What happened mom? Why am I here?" I said crying uncontrollably "You were in an accident, you drove into the wrong lane, a semi truck hit your car." she sniffles "Your car was completely crushed, its a miracle that you survived. You were in a coma for a week. We thought you wouldn't make it." "Mom..was anyone in the car with me? Please tell me there wasn't." She looked down and didn't answer my question. I began to cry again, I already knew the answer. "Where is she? I need to see her." I was starting to yell. "Im sorry Iris, she didn't make it." I felt as if my whole world was collapsing on top of me. She was one of the best things that ever happened to me. She was my sister.

Over the next few months I began to recover, I had gotten a few broken ribs, a broken leg , and fractured my knee cap. These things were fixable but my heart was not, I still cant believe she is gone.

It was time to go back to College, Im a sophmore . I couldn't bare to see my new roommate. I already knew I wasn't going to like her .

"Hey! My name is Chloe it is so nice to meet you!" my new roommate said while hugging me tightly. I tried to get out of the hug. When she finally let me go I walked to my side of the room. Ignoring her. "So what' your name?" she said. She was so annoying. "Iris" I said not even trying. "That's such a beautiful name!" "Um... yea thanks" I was trying to unpack while ignoring her but she just wanted to talk to me I guess. This was the longest time I have spoken to a person since my accident. I just couldn't do it anymore she was getting on my last nerve. "You know what I gotta go." I said while getting my coat and rushing out of that room. I ran outside not even bothering to notice that there were tons of people here who would think I was going crazy. I was almost at the door when I knocked into somebody. "Hey watch where your going." he said well getting up from the floor. "You watch were you're going you saw me running you coul" I just couldn't finish my sentence, I was in awe. He was the most beautiful human being i've ever seen. "I,I Im sorry "he said mumbling. He offered to help me up and I took his hand and he pulled me up. "Thanks" I said "Well I gotta um go" "yea um yea, see you around." he said. He didn't even tell me his name. I couldn't help to blush after he left.
