It was now after supper and I went outside with my cousins to keep them occupied so I threw the football around with them. As we were playing, my mom and grandpa came out front to where we were and to me aside and into the backyard. They slowly started to tell me that it was my dad who had been in the accident along with two guys from his new job that Tina had gotten for him. They didn’t know if he was going to even live to get to the hospital. My mom had started crying silently and I could see that my grandpa was trying to hold back tears because he hated having to give me this news. I have never seen my grandpa that sad before and he used to be a cop for the police department, I didn’t think that it would phase him that much. My aunt and grandma came out to stand on the front porch with everyone, I went into the house and ran to the bathroom and just stared into the mirror as I slowly started to cry, but I made no sound. Corey, my brother came over with Mandy, who is somehow related to Tina, and Mandy and Corey were friends at the moment of that. When Corey saw me he just hugged me silently and didn’t say a word.
My mom and aunt drove me to the hospital while Mandy drove herself over in her own car. When we got there I saw Tina’s middle child crouched down in the corner by the entrance and she was crying but I didn’t know why. Mandy had gotten there earlier than we did and she came out crying saying that it was too late and my daddy did not make it. After that I went numb, I didn’t hear anything as my mom and aunt escorted me down the hallway to the room where my dads lifeless body lay
