"Sitting on a warm beach while the sun sets across the ocean before you is possibly the happiest and most peaceful moment you will ever have. I can't think of any other way I would spend everyday of my life then here. Breathing in the ocean air and feeling the waves massage your feet with every movement, it all just seems like a dream. All other sounds begin to fade in time and it's like the world has stopped just for you. I wish I could have that feeling again, that moment when the Earth stops spinning and your one with nature. As my heart begins to beat slowly and my eyes close for the last time I think of my place by the beach, and hope I can stay at that spot forever in this life and the next."

I cant hold up much longer. My throat feels tight. My arms are weak. I cant fight it anymore. I know I have to breathe, but if I do itll be the end. No matter where I go its dark and it seems to never end.
The ocean. The thing I held closest to my heart was now swallowing me whole. I struggle but to no prevail. I know its the end and as I finally give up and let the ocean take me to its depths I only have one thing on my mind. What did I do to deserve this?

[5 years earlier]
They say when your about to die your life flashes before your eyes. I never believed that, but of course I never believe anything told to me unless its been proven.
My mother lied motionless in the hospital bed. For a few moments I thought she was dead, but the beeping of the heart rate monitor reassured me she wasnt. I watched her silently knowing any moment could be her last. Her breathing was slow and eyes closed. I wanted to tell her I loved her. That I was sorry, I never meant for this to happen, but she couldnt hear me. My mother was death in both ears, and now paralyzed thanks to me. I was too focused on leaving the house when me and my brother fought that I didnt see her run out in front of the car to try and stop me. I turned on the engine, and hit the petal as hard as I could to get out of there, and that was the moment I saw her. But it was too late. Now shes stuck here waiting on her death, and its all my fault.
Footsteps approached the room door waking me from my thoughts. When I turned to see who it was I couldnt believe my eyes. It was my father. I havent seen him in months. He had gotten a haircut and grew a goatee. He tried to smile at me but when he made it toward my mothers bed his facial expression changed. I looked away and toward the door, hoping he wouldnt ask. "What happened?" Just my luck! "Me and Eric got into it at the house. I left before anything could get worse but I was so angry when I hit the gas pedal she-" I stopped not being able to say another word. I felt my eyes start to water and I wiped them before I started to cry. My dad looked at me for a moment, his face was unreadable. "Ok." He simply told me and sat down at a near by chair.
Ok? Was that all he could say? She was going to die any minute now and it was my fault! I watched him for a moment. His hands were folded, head down and I caught a tear drop falling from his cheek to the floor.
Taking a step away to give him some time I walked out of the room and found myself face to face with my brother.

XD haha. I was going to use him as the mian character but then I found Devon so he became the new one. Thanks for helping me out with the picture too :)
It was my fault. He knew it, and would use the accident to hurt me inside worse then I could imagine.
We both stared at each other, neither one daring to say a word. I caught something moving behind my brother and I slowly moved my eyes off of him to see Marcus. Erics best friend. "You cant bring him in there. Its only family." I looked back at my brother and narrowed my eyes. "He's more family to me than you are right now." He spoke coldly and pushed by me, into the room. I looked down at the floor and clenched my fists. Marcus seemed to know I was hurting because he stayed out in the hall and put his hand on my shoulder. "Dont listen to Eric. Hes says things and doesnt mean anything by it you know that." I looked up at him and nodded. Marcus always knew the right thing to say. He had been Erics best friend since they were in elementary and he was practically part of the family. "You can go in and see her. Your like family." I smiled a little so he knew it was alright. Marcus patted my head and walked inside leaving me outside in the now darkening halls. Sitting down I leaned my head against the wall and closed my eyes trying to block out everything that had happened. 'Please don't let her die...please don't let her die...'

I must have fallen asleep on the floor, because the next thing I knew there was a loud voice coming from my mothers hospital room. I couldnt make it out at first but when I stood up and rubbed my eyes I heard my father calling my mothers name. "Jesse! Wake up please!" My eyes widened and I ran into the room. My father was on the side of the bed. My brother sitting on a chair staring into the distant. Marcus stood up and looked at the floor. I walked quietly and saw her, face pale, and body stiff. The heart rate monitor gave a long beep before stopping. Tears rolled down my cheek and I was out of words. My father turned and saw me. The smile he once had when he first came in was gone and he looked at me with anger. "You did this to her! If it wasnt for you two fighting all the time this wouldnt have happened!" I took a step back and fell to the ground. Marcus stood up in my defense and moved in front of me. "Mr. Rogers. It was an accident, hes just a kid." Marcus sounded just like my mother when he said that and my father must have thought so too because he turned his back to us. "Just get him out of here. All three of you get out." I felt my heart racing in my chest with the fear he might get angrier. Eric blinked and looked over at me. I thought he was going to yell too, but instead he stood up and grabbed me by the hand to help me up. "Come on" I stood up and all three of us walked out of the room. I couldn't believe it. My mother was gone. Gone forever.
