The Tape
285 Words
“NOOOOOO!!!!!!” Rafael wakes to someone screaming, not someone, Ember. He pushed a button on the remote next to his bed, trying find out what has happened. Two nurses rushed into his room with bug eyes . Once they were sure that Rafael was fine, he asked them what the screaming was about. As they shared a look Ember burst into Rafe’s room with puffy red eyes and throw herself at him. What the hell happened?
“Isack.” She started to cry again. His stomach dropped. He tried to sooth her, but it doesn’t work.
“OKAY! NOTHING IS EVER GONNA BE OKAY. MY BROTHER IS DEAD. HES ALL I HAD LEFT AND HES GONE.”
Why did Rafael have to take Isack out? This is all his fault. He caused it. If Rafe wasn’t singing instead of concentrating on the road, Isack would still be here. He would be smiling and laughing and most likely have called that guy from the club.

“Rafe, it wasn’t your fault,” Ember has been trying to convince him to watch footage of the accident, but why should he? He caused the accident. He’s dead because of Rafe.
“IF YOU ACTUALLY GOT OUT OF YOUR HEAD AND WATCHED THE FOOTAGE, YOU WOULD SEE THAT IT WASN’T YOUR FAULT,” burst Ember.
“FINE! I will watch it if you leave me alone afterwards.”

He sat back in his chair. Oh my God. There was another car.
“Now, do you believe me?” She asks.
“Yea,” He whisper, “I’m so sorry.”
