Beginning

“Ha-ha lets watch the car crash.” I looked down as my classmates put on the video of the horrible car crash on Hwy 63 going to Houston. I don’t know what my classmates find so funny about it, along with the people taping it. Every time I watch it I feel guilt, sadness, anger, so much of these mixed emotions, from watching this video so many times, being gathered up inside to where I can’t hold it in anymore. “Wow look at that.” One of the boys exclaimed. I looked up and seen the cars go out of control, then ramming each other making a huge explosion. “Ha-ha, that’s so awesome, but I bet it’s fake.” That’s it, I can’t take it anymore.
I got up and pushed Cody out of the way, he was about to yell at me, but I started first. “You want to see the actual video; I bet you’ll laugh after you see it.” I said as I grinded my teeth to try and stop myself from shaking but failed miserably. I typed in the car crash, and clicked on the longest video. The video popped up and as said before the big explosion, then the camera viewed on a girl with dark hair trying to get the fire out from the little girl and boy, and that dark haired girl was me, and the little ones were my siblings. My sister was four and brother two, and guess what the people around us just videotaped and laughed, no one helped because no one cared. They laughed even harder when I cried for my siblings, and my mother who was still in the car burning. I looked at the ground and felt tears streaming down my face. Then I looked back up to my classmates and teacher, “You still think it’s funny?” I asked quietly, everyone stood there standing in silence, some had guilt and shame eyes, and sadness, but no one spoke making me grind my teeth again, “Well I hope you’re happy now!” I yelled then ran out the door to outside. When I stepped outside I saw the other students in their class, drawing on the sidewalk with chalk.
“Emily what are you doing?” Faith asked as she came up to me and gave me a hug. I didn’t really want it, but it felt god to have a hug from a friend at this moment.
