I watch as the sun rises higher and higher as the hours of this terrible day go by. I wished and hoped for rain to come, but I new it never would. I liked the rain, because it had a way of calming me down after being so worked up after school, but the forecaster on the tv said we wouldn't be seeing rain for a while, and that scared me. I tried everything like videos on youtube of the sound, but it never seemed to work. I needed that rain.

"Jesse's been talking about you again," my friend Sadie told me as we walked through the gates of our subdivision.

I smirked, but I wasn't annoyed because I was used to it at this point. "What is it this time?" I sigh.

"She's talking about how you're dating her ex."

"Sadie, oh heck no, I would never date him!" I interrupt.

This happened on a daily basis. Jesse would start a new rumor, and when that one died down, she would start a new one. I remember the days when we were close, because actually we were. For six years, we would each have a slumber party for our birthdays, them being a day apart, but on my ninth birthday she never showed up, and I wasn't too angry, but I was upset because my best friend had ditched me on my birthday. But good things came out of that day because that's when I met Sadie...

"Carmen! Carmen! Carmen!" I hear Sadie yell as I stumble to catch my self. "You dozed of again. We're at my house. See you tomorrow at school."

She hugs me and walks up the stairs to the door to her mansion, and waved me goodbye. She was five houses down from me so it wasn't a long walk home by myself. Everyday I would wave to Mrs. Feren, and elderly lady who lived between Sadie and I, but she died a couple months ago so I usually paid attention to my phone.

SCREECH!

Suddenly I found myself on the ground, and their was blood everywhere. There was a man screaming, and his wife on the phone panicking. I didn't know what was going on until I heard the women screaming into the phone.

"We've hit a girl! She came out of no where. Hurry, she needs an ambulance!" I heard the women say.

I was hit by a car...

The man then came to my body, which was still lying on the ground, even though the ambulance had already arrived.

"I think she's dead!" he yelled, "Oh no, this can't be happening!"

I noticed the women pacing back and forth in her northface jacket, and the men in the ambulance came out with a stretcher and put me on it. I saw Sadie and her mother, who were crying, and then I noticed my parents, and I couldn't make out their facial expressions, they knew I was dead.

My mother and father got in the ambulance, and lifted the black bag from over my head.

"Carmen!" I heard my mother cry out, "Just know me and your father have always loved you. Please come back baby girl!"

My father had his hands over his head and he was trying to hold back tears, but I knew he couldn't.

My mother tried talking to my father, but he was so heartbroken that he wouldn't listen.

"Greg! Please Greg we lost our baby, what are we gonna do?" she yelled.

"I don't know anymore, how could we have lost her?"

"Greg, it's done, it's over with. We have to pray that she can somehow come back to life." my mother cried, as the man in the back of the ambulance handed her a tissue.

"I know how you feel ma'am, I lost my daughter two years ago in a car crash. That dumb drunk driver never got put in jail." he said.

My mother got up and hugged him. "I'm sorry for your loss, it must have been hard."

My mother was gentle, so loving, so caring. I could tell this was hard for her because I was her only child, and she loved me more than anything in the world, I was her own.

At the hospital I saw Sadie walk in. She fell to the floor, screaming and crying. I could see her pain, and I knew it wasn't going away anytime soon.

"Carmen, I miss you!" she said, "I feel like this is all my fault!"

My mother hugged her and began to talk to her. "Sadie, it's not your fault. She died remembering you as her best friend and that's all that matters."

Sadie cried even more, "Mrs. Brier, how am I going to function without her?"

"Just live your life thinking of her. Do what she would've wanted you to do, because that's what I'm gonna do."

Sadie left, then my grandparents came. My grandparents left as my Aunt Carol walked in. I hadn't seen her in a year. She brought flowers and then left. That was my only day at the hospital.

"Hey Brianna, I missed you!" Greg said as he kissed a girl on the lips. Her name was Brianna. She had long blonde hair, rosy red cheeks, and dressed like she was all that.

"Hello Mr. Brier." She said , "I've been waiting all week for this!"

Greg smiled. He was cheating on his wife with some twenty year old chick. He didn't care that his daughter died. He acted that way to hide the fact that he's been screwing around with someone else, and he doesn't want Nancy to know.

"Will this get me my promotion at work?" she asked.

Greg smiled wider as he pulled her closer. "Oh, this will get you more than a promotion."

***

I watched the doctor people as they wheeled me out of my room, and then the guy from the ambulance came, and sat down with my mom.

"Remember what I told you in the ambulance about my daughter?" he asked.

My mom shook her head, as he added. "Well, the man who hit her was Mark Thompson. Who was the guy that hit your daughter?"

Silence fell into the room. It took my mom all she had to mutter the words. "Mark Thompson."

I watched as my mother fell to the floor, in tears, and the man from the ambulance hugged her. "Nancy, you're going to be alright. He will pay!"

Sadie was sitting in her room, looking at pictures of us. I remember every single moment. My tenth birthday, my eleventh birthday, Christmas 2014, all of that. "Sadie, Sadie it's me!" I tried to call out, but I knew she couldn't hear me. "Sadie, Sadie!" I tried again. And then I did it one more time, "Sadie! Sadie it's me, Carmen!"

"Carmen?" she faintly cried out.

She had heard me. "Sadie, can you hear me?"

"Yeah. Carmen where are you, are you still alive?"

I wiped a tear. "Sadie oh how I've missed you. No, I'm dead. I miss you Sadie and I came to tell you something."

"What?"

"It's not your fault!" I said right before I suddenly couldn't see anymore. My world went pitch black. I was suddenly on the ground, waking up. There was a man standing there over me, and a women on the phone, panicking.

"She's awake!" she screamed into the phone, "She's alive!"

I was alive? All of this was a dream? The man helped me up, and I tried to catch my balance. I brushed of my jeans and I saw Sadie run toward me. She ran into me, and hugged me as tight as she could. "You're alive!" she cried out, "I was scared you were dead!"

I was confused at this point. I was dead at one point, and I suddenly woke up. Was it a dream? No, it couldn't have been. I was dead, I was certain.

My mother and father then came, then the price and the ambulance people, and as usual, I was taken to the hospital. The man in the back with us was the same man in my dream. "You know, my daughter got hit by a car two years ago, but she wasn't so lucky." he told me.

"I'm sorry for your loss," I told him.

Sadie visited me in the hospital, then my grandparents. Life seemed to be back to normal after the hospital, I guess I was wrong.

***

I walked upstairs to grab some paper out of my dads office. I walked in and saw a women, and then my father.

"Carmen!" he yelled shocked, "What are you doing here?"

"Who's that?" I asked him.

"A co worker!" he replied.

I walked over to her. I embraced her figure, her long blonde hair, her rosy red cheeks. It was the girl.

"I'm Brianna." she told me.

I back up. This couldn't be happening. Not today at least. Everything I 'dreamed' when I was hit by the car was coming true. I ran out of the room and into mine, slammed the door shut, and threw my face into a pillow, where I cried myself to sleep.

The next morning I saw my dad, and we didn't speak. It was like this for days. My mom was away on some business trip,  next week was my last day of junior year, and my father was getting a promotion, and giving one too. I couldn't cope with it, I couldn't deal with it. It was my last straw.

The End

*This note was found at the seen of the death of a young girl.*

Loving parents,

I am writing you this letter because of many reason. I love you two both dearly, even if I do not show it. The day I was hit by a car, I fell into some sort of coma. It felt like days in that coma but when I suddenly woke up, it was if time had not passed. I saw many things in that coma, and after I woke up, those thing I dreamed about had come true.

Mother, the man in the ambulance told you about his daughter in my dream, and he told us again in real life. The man who hit me, was the same guy who killed his daughter. Help him to get justice for the man.

Father, when I was in my some sort of coma, you were with some girl, Briana, saying what she was doing would get her a promotion. I then came into your office, while you two were at it, and it was the same girl.

All of this was making me sick. I couldn't take it anymore, it was like I was getting haunted. I feel like this could all be avoided if I had not been focused on my phone, and walked on to the street, but no. That is why I decided to jump. Goodbye parents.

-Carmen
