Cathy's Death
The sun peeks through my bedroom window. I check my Alarm clock to see its 7:30. "I'll definetly be late for school now!" I walk up to the mirror, and I think about myself, long brown hair, cute dimpels, hazelnut eyes, medium sized lips and a beautiful roundish face. I have a small body, with an average heigth and weight.
The flashbacks of my sisters death reappear into my thoughts...
I drove my sister to work.. Cathy, what a beautiful name. It was the summer of 2008, and she had a day job at a fancy restaurant, high in the mountains. I drove her to work every day... We had so much fun, singing, laughing and talking about her love life... Thats when it happened. An old lady driving a Mercedes, had a heart attack while driving. She lost control... "Nooo" Cathy yelled terrified. I pushed her back to her seat.
I remember a loud crashing noise and windows breaking. I bumped my head. Not being able to see much, I escaped from the car. I was soaked in sticky blood. I ran to the passenger side."Cathy, Cathy! can you hear me!' I yelled. I received no reply! I forced to door open... I pulled her from the wreckage. She breathed. I grabbed her hand, squeezed it and whispered; "I love you Cathy! I'm so sorry!" I started crying and screaming: "Why her GOD, why not me?" Suddendly Cathy whispered; "I love you Danielle, It's not your fault, God has a plan for both us. I'll always be in your heart.." I closed her eyes...
.....I snap back. A tear rush down my cheek. I wipe it away. I touch Cathy's heart necklace. I smile.. "I miss you Cathy.".
I hear a soft crying outside my door.. I open it to see my sister, (also Cathy's twin sister.) "Taylor, why are you crying?" I asked in a sympathetic voice. "I heard you talking to Cathy..." she replies through her stuffed nose after crying. "I miss her as well" Taylor started crying again. "How do you talk to her" Taylor asks. "Well I don't talk to her, she talks to me.. Through my heart. If you listen very carefully, you can hear her talking" I reply. "I love you, Danielle!" Taylor replies. "I love you 2!" I hug her...
A complete silence hits me...
