1. Chapter 1 (1/2)

"bye, casey," i said again.

"don't forget to call me," he reminded.

i kissed him on the cheek. i turned around and hugged my best friend, trish, good bye. i hopped in the car with my family and waved out the window. the waves back. we were going on a family vacation for the summer. i sat back and put my headphones in. 'sweet dreams are made of this' started to play. i shut my eyes.

finally! relaxation!

the car swung around as a deer crossed the road. dad slammed on the

akes, and mom gripped to the sides of her seat. my arm swung in front of hunter, who was only two, and woke up from his nap with a start. aiden, second to oldest, yelled with mom, and soon enough we all joined in. the car flew up in the air as we went over a hill, and it crashed on its side. we were right next to a ravine, and the car rolled right in.

mom and dad were bleeding the most, and both were knocked out. aiden looked crushed, probably because the he was on the side the car had crashed on. hunter looked... well, i'll spare you the details. i was the only one awake.

i slipped through my seat belt, after trying to get it out, but it was stuck. the car was wedged between the side of the ravine and a stump. so the doors wouldn't open. they wouldn't of, anyway, they were locked and the controls wouldn't work. the windows were

oken, luckily, so i got out the front one and sat down on a rock nearby. when i thought of something to do, i got back on top of the front hood, and i was in front of mom. apparently there was more weight on mom's side than dad's, so the car tilted to the one side. i jumped off.

i beat against the car door, just to see if it would open inwards... but it wasn't

oken enough. i beat against it more, just because. my fists went through the door. they didn't

eak through, the went through. i tried to pull them out, but i entirely slid back into the car. i stared at the door.

"what... what just happened?"

i decided i would worry about it later, and just use this and get everyone out. there was only one problem- dad was a bit... bigger than what i could carry. i tried picking him up so many times it wasn't funny. and somehow i found myself under him.

dang it, i thought to myself.

if there was one thing i feared, it was being sat upon by my dad. it was most uncomfortable. i went through him... or at least, tried. i found myself in his body. did i posses my dad? i really didn't care. i just knew that i could get him out by making him walk out. i finally did. i got everybody to the side of the road, and tried to get someone to let me use their phone.
