Okay so my day started at 4:40 in the morning, when my father came in to tell me that I wasn't going to school because Peter was in a car accident. Apparently Casey fell asleep at the wheel and his car hit a tree, hard enough for the car to fold into itself. The paramedic's couldn't get the doors open so they had to cut through the roof of the car and pull them both out. Thank god Peter was asleep because if he was awake they said it could have been alot worse. I called my best friend Norah and started crying because of it, she told me that everything was going to be fine and it was. But Casey was transfered to St. Lukes for trauma injury and they say he's awake and aware of his surroundings. They both had concusions but they remeber who they are and all that, they just don't remember anything from the night before.
But I went to see Peter earlier today, me and mom got to the hospital around 1 pm and didn't get to see him until 4pm. I had called Norah ealier saying how I was scared to see him because I didn't want to break down in tears, and thankfully I didn't. When we actually got to see him I almost did. I walked in and saw my older brother in a hospital bed, covered in cuts, hooked up to two machines, with an IV in his arm and only half awake. He broke his feemer (thigh bone) and they had to put a rode in there for it to heal right. They say he's gonna be on crouches for about two month's and won't be able to walk up and down stairs either. I held myself together though only because I didn't want them to see me cry and I didn't want to make Peter worry. Even though it drove me crazy the whole day cause I couldn't see him. I sat down next to him and listened while him and mom talked a little then he like lifted his hand up like he wanted something and I reached forward with my hand to aske what he wanted, and he just took my hand and held it. It made me smile and almost cry, I've never seen my brother like that and it pained me too.
I held his hand for a while and then he started drifting in and out of sleep, so I began to read and so did mom. He told us that we could leave but we stayed until Dad, Linda, and Joe came to visit him. In the time before they came, Pete looked like he wasn't comfortable sleeping so I turned on my cd player and started singing what I could. Since he's so used to falling asleep to vocal music I thought it would help a little. At least I hope it did, he then looked fine while sleeping and that's when Dad came. He hugged me and kissed me while saying "You're so good." to me. I guess because he heard me singing to Peter, that's why I think. But we left soon after and I just got home around 8. I'm so tired and so glade that my brother's alive and alright. I don't know what I would have done if something worse had happened to him. The doctors said it was a miracle that him and Casey were alive, god was watching over them and I'm truly gratefull that he was. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost Peter...
