I remember the fear in my brother's eyes. I remember all the thoughts that came to my mind at that very moment. I remember everything. The moment I looked up from my cell phone and realized we were heading straight towards another car at full speed. At that moment I thought I would never see my brother, my family, my friends or anyone again. The moment I realized our vehicle was approaching the back of another car, I closed my eyes and prayed it was just a moment. dream. I was hoping to wake up any second from this horrible nightmare I was currently living in. At the moment of impact, I saw my entire life flash before my eyes, as if it were a home movie playing in my head. I saw myself at seven years old, climbing my sacred papaya apple trees and swimming in the creek on hot July days. I watched my 11-year-old nervously walk through the doors on my first day of middle school, anxiously flipping through my calendar, praying that the next three years would go by quickly. I revisited eighth grade dance, twirling and dancing the night away and having the time of my life. I finally opened my eyes and for a moment everything was blurry. My mind couldn't handle this incident. I couldn't believe this actually happened to us. I finally realized it was reality when I felt my brother lying on top of me. For a split second, I thought my older brother, the one who had always been there for me, my best friend since I was born, was dead. I started to panic. I nervously started shaking uncontrollably. I could feel the anxious sweat and tears streaming down my face. As I prepared to scream for help, he finally sat up and looked at me. I immediately felt a rush of relief throughout my body. I had never felt such... middle of paper ... he was a superhero whose words had magical powers, because every time he said them, everything suddenly seemed okay. After several x-rays, MRIs and numerous tests, the doctor decided that we were fine and only had minor injuries. My brother left with a broken knee and on crutches, and I had a broken neck and wrist, facial abrasions, and severe back pain. My brother and I had no worries before the accident. We talked and laughed about everything under the sun carefreely, as we usually did. I now suffer from migraines from the head trauma I suffered in the accident, and he has become extremely overprotective of me, but otherwise we are both perfectly fine. I am extremely grateful that we were able to walk away from this horrible wreck, but I am most grateful to still have my older brother here with me today..
