Over The Train Tracks, By:Sarah Richardson [the snowy day read aloud txt] 📗

It all began when you're thinking to yourself what's going to happen. Are we going to die? Everything’s going in slow motion and then...it happens.
On September 25, 2010 this happened to me. I was thinking to myself the same thing over and over are we going to die. We were stuck on the train track when all of a sudden the train hit us. My girlfriend Paige was in the backseat. My friend Jonathon was in the driver’s seat. that train hit us the car split in half. The front of the car got pushed off of the track. When the back half of the car was still on the tracks, that part of the car rolled under the train tracks. The train finally stopped but Paige was still underneath the train.
As I’m laying there, hearing sirens of the ambulance and police. Everything’s going so fast.
Some guy starts talking to me. ”Hi, Brad. I’m Dan. I’m going to help you up. Okay?” he said.
“Okay,” I replied back.
A couple of men helped on to a stretcher and then lifted me up into the ambulance.
One of the guys told me that my friends were on their way to the hospital as well.
I kept asking questions. “Is my girlfriend okay? How’s Jronathon doing?”
None of them answered.Then someone finally answered me "Paige passed away and Jonathon is in a coma.I'm sorry Brad."
I started breaking down in tears.I said"Are you seriously? How long will Jonathon be in a coma?" Dan said "It could be a while before he wakes up. But,you need to rest and the nurse will be in to check on you.Now get some rest."
"When will I be able to see Jonathon?" I replied."I don't know yet but, you need to get rest, and the nurse will be in when the doctor is ready to check you,and get you xrayed."Dan said."Okay,when do you think I will be able to leave?" I asked."Get some rest Brad."The nurse walked in."Hi Brad. My name is Abigail. I'm here to tell you that the doctor will be in to check on you, and get you some xrays done, and see how bad things are." she said.The doctor walks in and says to me"Hi my name is Dr.Brain the nurse here is going to take you up to get xrays for your arm,and rib.Okay?" he said.I replied"Ya that's fine.But, how soon do you think I could get out of here?"I asked.
"I don't know yet Brad it depends on how bad you are hurt."he said."Okay I guess."I replied.The doctor leaves and the nurse begins to push me up to the xrays room.She begins to take xrays of my arm.She told me to lift me to lift my shirt to take the xray,when she saw the big bruise on my rib."Wow,that's really bad are you okay?"she asked."Ya I'm okay it just hurts really bad."I replied."I bet it does it looks like it hurts."she said."Ya it does."I said."Lets finish the xrays."she said.We finished the xrays and she began to pushed me back down to my room."Okay were here. Dr.Brain will be in after he checks out the xrays."She said.He walked in five minutes after she left."Hey Brad.It looks like you broke your arm."he said."How is that?"I asked."When the car began to roll you put all your weight on you right arm."he replied.He left to get my medicine for my pain.
"Brad this medicine is going to make your pain go away.Okay?"he said."Okay."I replied.He handed me the medicine and water to relieve some of the pain.
"Hey Dr.Brain how is Jonathon and Paige? Some guy named Dan said that Paige passed away and that Jonathon was in a coma.Is he serious?"I asked."Jonathon's doing okay he's still in a coma and I am truly sorry Paige did passed away."he said."No this can't happen she can't be dead.I started to cry my eyes out.Dr.Brain handed me some tissues,and told me that he was going to go get the cast to put on my arm.He walked threw the door a few minutes later, and began to put the cast on my arm."Okay Brad get some rest, and I'll have the nurse come check on you in a little while, and make sure your doing okay, and don't need anything."he said."Okay I'll try and get some rest if I need anything I'll let you know."I said.
"Hey Brad how do you feel this morning?I'll bring you some breakfast any recommendations on what you would like me to bring you?"said nurse Abigail."No anything you can bring me."I said."Okay I'll make sure I bring something go for you to eat."Abigail said."Okay thank you Abigail."I said."Anytime Brad."she said.As she began to walk out the door to go get my breakfast.She came back a while later with some pancakes,eggs,toast,and milk."Thanks for bringing me breakfast."I said."Your welcome Brad."Abigail replied.
