The Crash

How could anyone have helped me? How could they have saved me and not them?
I was the one who caused the crash, yet they got me out first. It was my fault that my mother was dead and that my brother was seriously hurt. It was my fault and nothing anyone could say would change that. It was my fault we had a broken family now. My fault we had to move in with my Aunt Amelia thousands of miles from where we grew up. Thousands of miles from my mother and that fatal day. Thousands of miles from that car and the crash. So far away from it.

Aunt Amelia was out of the door before we even got out of the car. At least someone was excited about us staying. Dad rolled his eyes as she screamed at him but that just made Jonah smile so dad didn't say anything. Jonah hasn't smiled in a while, not since mum, and he doesn't trust me now. Jonah doesn't even speak to me and that is hard, we used to be so close. Before mum.
"Jonah" Aunt Amelia practically screamed, wrapping her arms round him. Then they walked off into the house.
I looked down at my old converses, trying to hide my displeasure. Aunt Amelia never liked me, not even when mum was alive, and I bet right now she was telling Jonah that the crash was all my fault. It was but he didn't need to hear it anymore.
"Chin up, Didge" Dad smiled, lifting my chin with his left hand. He smiled down at me and we stood there for a while before he pulled me into a hug. That was a normal thing for him now, whenever he thought I looked remotely anything not neutral he would pull me into a hug and usually it did work. But not today.
"You ready?" He asked pulling back.
I nodded, not trusting my voice to give anything away.
Dad smiled. "You know what? Me either but this is for Jonah, you know how much he loves Aunt Amelia" He said.
I nodded. "You know she and I do not see eye to eye." I replied.
"I know. She's not my biggest fan either but, like I said, for Jonah" He smiled.
"I guess I owe him that much" I shrugged then strolled away.
I was not looking forward to this at all. At all!
