It was all my fault if I had not left my silly book at the camp, the moon was shining around me, the cold breeze blowing passed my hair in front of me this horrifying scene of my family, my family is dead that is right dead.

I looked at the car wow what a mess I thought it all started while we were coming home from camp my dad driving, mum reading the map while in the back me daydreaming out the window, my sister Taylor listening to her favourite tunes while our Labrador Baster on her lap barking softly in a sleepy way when suddenly 'dad! I left my book at the camp we have to go back and get it now!' I said panicking 'Cam, we are sure not going back for the book we are too far from the camp so no' dad had replied still watching the forest road 'come on dad it is my all-time favourite book' I said still panicking but now leaning forward dad saw my face in the mirror 'fine' he said 'we will go back for that book of yours' so I sat back in my seat and went back to daydreaming out of the window a few minutes past when suddenly I was thrown violently forward, there was a horrific crashing sound I looked up in shock and confusion and there it was the air bags were out, Baster was not barking, blood everywhere but worst of all my family eyes were closed, their bodies blood spattered.

Tears came to my eyes I got out of the car and checked myself over only some cuts and busies how am I still alive? I thought as I leaned through the broken window and put two fingers to my dad's neck, no pulse I checked his heart beat no beat I did that to my mum and sister even Baster nothing! They were all dead, more tears came to my eyes. I went to the front of the car; the car had hit an old oak tree and in between was a dear with guts hanging out well as even more blood and it's tongue out well as it's eyes still open yuck it was like vomit Heaven.

I walked away from the car tears streaming down my face kneeling down to the ground holding my stomach and crying but through the fog of my tears I swear I saw my family on the bridge waving at me well, the ghost of them anyway before disappearing in thin air I screamed and called for them to come back and to wait for me before collapsing flat on my stomach ''Cam, Cam, is that your name?' A voice above me said but I did not recognise the voice 'Cam, can you open your eyes or say something?' I could not open my eyes or say something so I rose my head and nodded the best I could before passing out again.

A few minutes later...

'She is in stable condition do not worry everything is going to be alright, Ms Rolland' a voice said Rolland? I thought that is my aunt's last name 'aunt Amy?' I mumbled opening my eyes to find my aunt Amy looking up from her seat with a nurse standing next to her ' oh mi lord she is awake how do you feel?' The nurse asked me 'can I have some water? My throat is dry other than that I feel fine' my aunt handed me a cup of water I took a sip of the cold wet water slipping down my throat I looked around the room a hospital ward I was wearing a hospital grown 'what happened? The last thing I remember is seeing my family dead than seeing the ghosts of them on the bridge before I blacked out' I looked between the nurse and aunt Amy a long silence landed before aunt Amy broke the silence 'that is right your parents, Taylor and Baster are all dead' she began crying at the mention of the family and the loss of her niece and daughter the nurse put her arm around my aunt to comfit her 'you were in a car crash with your family they died but when we found you, you were still alive so we brought you here and called your aunt she was the first one we found on your mother's phone which some how was still working' I stared at them with shock ' you are coming to live with me Cam, and you don not have to call me aunt no more just call me Amy' Amy mumbled through her tears I looked down and realised I had a bandage on my right hand just as well I am left handed I thought 'so when..When would I be discharged?' I asked softly 'I am afraid you will not be discharged for two weeks' the nurse told me 'it is late so get some rest' so I did I dreamed of my family it was in the park when I was eight and Taylor was one we were in the park on the swings we were so happy.

(Note from Author: hey guys, I just want to apologise that if you ready read this part but I just found out that a big chunk was taking out of this some how and I just don't know it did but it did so I've added it again below)

I woke up the sun was shining through the rooms window I looked to the right where a bunch of cherry blossoms on my bedside table "well, well look who finally woke up how do you feel?" A voice said I looked around to find my good friend Hannah seating in the hospital leather chair in the corner of the room I was surprised to see her "what, what are you doing here?" I asked "I am here to visit you silly how are you feeling? And I am sorry about your parents oh Taylor and Baster too" just than al the memories of that scene came rushing back to me that is right a car crash happened but I am some how alive whole my family died I thought I must have been being quiet for too long because next thing I knew Hannah said "oops, I am sorry Cam, I did not mean to bring it up I should go " she began walking to the door at the point "stop, it is okay I am fine but can you ask the nurse you know the one with the label saying "Nurse Joy" can you ask her to get me some breakfast I am hungry" I said "sure" she said before leaving the room shutting the door behind her.

At that point I was alone in my room again looking around I saw there was a tv hanging in front of me on the wall there was the remote control on a table next to the bed I reached for it and turned on the screen great I thought this hospital blocked every channel but E4 luckily the show I liked was on you know the one The Big Bang Theory it was where Penny hits Sheldon in the face because he tried to take the ring.

Anyway, I was too busy watching the screen when the door opened and entered  Nurse Joy she smiled at me 'glad you feeling better enough to eat something we only have garlic bread and soup left so many patients these days here" she said handing over a tray of soup with garlic bread she was smiling sweetly as she went around the room cleaning the mess that was in the bin I took a bite of garlic bread when suddenly *cough* *gout* I was choking and my skin was starting to go red "nurse" I managed to cough Nurse Joy turned towards me with her eyes wide "oh mi lord" she said it seems that she says that a lot she got a needle and put it in my arm within a minute I stopped coughing Nurse Joy gave me water to clear my throat and when I could finally breath and speak I said " I must be allergic to garlic" Nurse Joy looked at me with a relived face she looked at my paper work and shook her head "that is strange it says here that you do not have any alleges" she put the chart back in its place and moved the tray away from me so I would not have another reaction.

She moved to the curtains that had been hiding the sun she opened then, which she was doing that I watched there was what looked like a blood stone necklace on my side table it must have been a gift from Hannah so I put it on it was red with black little stones around it what a thoughtful gift I thought, the bright sun shone and brought light to the grey ish room " that is a lovely necklace you got there a gift from a friend?" She asked me smiling sweetly "yeah" I held it on both hands staring at it, it sparked in the light I looked out the window wow what a nice view most views are totally rubbish but this one was not so bad.

Nurse Joy checked my wounds and the machine things that was attached to my hand like a drip she did some eye/throat/ear checking thing "well, I must say ms Enright you have made a speedy recovery apart from your hand of course you are perfectly healthy" she grinned and nodded as she said it "so, I can be discharged then?" I asked looking at her "yes I say you can be discharged I will just go get your discharged papers, ring your aunt to come and pick you up also get someone to help you with your things" she walked out the room I got out of the bed and found some clothes I grabbed them went to the bathroom thing got dressed did something with my hair and sorted out some shoes by the time I was already doing the final check in the mirror I heard a soft knock than a voice "hello ms Enright, I am Tom I am here to help you with your things your aunt is on her way I have been instructed to help you with your belongings safely downstairs to the main entrance where your aunt will be, ms Enright?" "Oh hello yeah so can you grab my gifts and cards while I pack my bag?" I asked as I came into the room and looked at Tom, he had fair blonde hair and blue eyes with a tone body he walked over to the bed and started putting my gifts and cards onto the cart thing, I was still wearing the blood stone I am never taking this off I thought while packing my bag "all set?" Tom asked "yeah" and with that we were in the main entrance waiting for Amy.
