gonna text me back or what? Where you at? I am just checking on you so text me back soon. K?
                  Tossing the phone back onto my bed, I grabbed my clothes and went to get a shower. I hadn’t been under the water five minutes when I heard pounding on the door.
                  “RYKER,” Mom yelled through the door. “OPEN THE DOOR.”
                  “WHAT IS IT?” I yelled back.
                  “OPEN UP, HURRY” She was practically screaming.
                  “What,” I yanked the door open. I was dripping wet and standing there in nothing but a towel. “Mom, what’s wrong?” My mother was crying and shaking. She was literally freaking out and unable to catch her breath. “Momma,” I pulled her too me. “What’s going on? Please talk to me.” I rubbed the back of her head.
                  “It’s, its, your dad.”
                  I grabbed her shoulders shaking her. I may have shaken her too hard, but I got her attention.
                  “We have to go to the hospital now. Your dad has been in a car accident.” She said frantically, but she never looked at me. She was obviously not telling me something.
                  “Oh God, where is Shine?” Mom sobbed really hard, and could barely speak.  “Shine was with him. Wasn’t she? Is she okay? FUCK!” I yelled. “Let’s go now.” I hope she’s okay. Nothing can happen to my girl. She has to be okay. I was going to tell her that I love her tonight. I groaned and punched the wall so hard that I swear my knuckles broke.
                  “Ryker,” Mom said.
                  “I’m fine. Let’s go. He better hope like hell she’s okay. Come on.”

    Shine
                  I don’t know how it happened or how I am alive for that matter. I can taste the blood on my lips that is running from my nose. We had to be going eighty miles per hour around that curve. The only thing I remember is screaming right before the car started to roll. My body is aching like one big headache and I can barely see. Only one eye is working properly because the other one is nearly swollen shut. Not from the wreck though, stupid bastard. Where is he? I slowly turned my head to the left. Well, my neck ain’t broke, good to know. I see him and I know. He is dead. I won’t tell you how I know, but I do. The sight is unforgettable. Oh fuck! That was all I could say before I started to vomit. I’m pretty sure I screamed, but I felt like I was watching everything from outside my body. So the screams may have only been in my head. Either way I couldn’t hold out the darkness any longer. I heard the sirens before I closed my eyes and let the darkness consume me. If I was leaving this earth at least I know that that son of a bitch died too.

    Shine
                  I want to open my eyes, but I can’t. They feel so heavy. I hear a loud beeping nose and I swear that whatever it is I want to throw it through a window. I can feel someone’s hand in mine, and a sniffling sound like someone is crying. Who, I don’t know?
                  After several attempts my eyelids finally cooperate, but it’s so bright in here. Where am I? Why does it smell like Clorox and old people? I move a little and realize that I shouldn’t have done that. My body hurts like I’ve been beaten the hell up with a steel pipe or something.
                  “Shine baby, you’re awake, finally. You scared me I thought…. Well, I was scared to death I was gonna lose you too. I can’t lose you.” Moon cried as he dropped his head onto my chest.
                  The memories started to pour in, and I gasp for breath. It’s so vivid and real. The pictures flashed in my mind over and over. That bastard and his hands took
