"The Crash" by Emmanuel Cardenas

                It was dark everything was quiet my sister Destani wasn’t moving I told myself is she dead.

                It was a chilly and dark Halloween night. I was about 10 years old we were at the Valley Fair Mall trick-or-treating at the stores in the mall. I and my brother Daniel got a little bit of candy and we also ate some Chinese food. After we ate my mom started to shop for clothes for her and so did my sisters. They took forever to shop that was the boring part but after about 45 minutes to and hour they finally stopped because we were going to be late for my dad’s work Halloween party.

                After they paid for their clothes we headed towards the car to go to my dad’s work. My dad’s work was about 10 to 15 minutes away from the mall. When we got to the party the party was just barley starting. We started to go around the offices and got some candy. After we got candy we went back to the main room where they had the party. When we got there they had drinks, chips, and cookies. When we were done eating we were full so we said good bye to my dad and started to head home so we could do more trick-or-treating.

                When we left we were heading towards a traffic light and it just barley turned yellow when we were turning left. Then it hit us it was quiet my sister Destani she was nine weeks pregnant and wasn’t moving. My mom was awake but not hurt my other sister Sara was sitting beside me and she thought she shattered her knee. My brother was ok but was panicking then my sister called 911. After Sara called 911 we tried to wake up Destani but she didn’t we were worried then we heard siren. They had brought an ambulance. One by one they told us to get out but my mom had a hard time because the door was jammed because the whole front was smashed in and the belt was stuck. Finally she was able to get out through the window and Destani was taken to the hospital. We called my dad to come and pick us up, my dad said,” Why, what happened.”

              My mom said,” We got into an accident and the car is totaled and we have no way home.”

              After 10 minutes the tow truck came and picked up the car they had a hard time doing that. Finally my dad came and picked us up.
