I was exhausted, it had been a really long day at school and then I had stayed for football practice so I really couldn’t wait to get home.
As I went around the corner I could see my house in the distance and could almost smell my Mom’s cooking. I was starving!
Suddenly I heard the sound of tyres screeching and a car came hurtling down the street heading straight towards me. I tried to jump out of the way, but it was going too fast. The next thing I knew everything had gone black.
As I began to stir I could feel my head was throbbing. I tried to open my eyes but the glare from the lights above were too bright, so I closed them again.
“Charlie? Can you hear me?”
I recognised my Mom’s voice.
“Yyes, where am I?”
It was hard to get the words out, and when I did manage my voice sounded weird.
“You’re in hospital darling, you’ve had an accident.”
I blinked my eyes a couple of times and then opened them. Both of my parents were standing next to my bed, they had worried looks on their faces.
