MADDIE
I’m so sorry to tell you this, ma’am. Your brother, Cameron, was in a fatal
car accident tonight.
Maddie sat numbly on the couch in the living room. She’d been back
from the hospital for a little over an hour, and she had no recollection of
driving home, but she remembered parking her car in the garage and
dragging her feet into the house to the couch.
After driving to the hospital in the middle of the night, she’d sat silently
and listened to the officer and doctor as they informed her that her brother
had been in a car accident involving a semi-truck that had crossed the center
line. Cameron’s car had spun out on the wet road from the impact and
smashed into a large tree on the driver’s side. The officer told her that he
was unconscious at the scene and had died within minutes of arriving at the
hospital, despite the doctor’s efforts to revive him. They said that because
he was unconscious, it was unlikely he suffered in any pain before he
passed.
When the doctor and the officer had stopped talking, she looked up at
them and realized she had barely heard a word they said. The room that
they were in began to spin as her stomach turned. The doctor grabbed a
trash can for her to vomit into, just in the nick of time. He was gentle with
her and whispered reassuring words as she heaved repeatedly.
Maddie stared off into space for a long time. Her mind was blank, her
body numb, and her stomach continued to bubble with nausea.
I’m so sorry to tell you this, ma’am. Your brother, Cameron, was in a
fatal car accident tonight.
The words replayed in her mind continuously. The concerned look in
the doctor and officers’ faces as she sat in front of them, saying nothing as
they spoke to her and asked her questions. She didn’t even remember what
questions they had asked. She only remembered shaking her head several
times, causing those concerned expressions to turn to pity and sadness.
For days, Maddie just lay in bed, only getting up to pee when she absolutely
had to. She sipped on her water bottle occasionally with the water that had
been sitting there since the last night she’d been in Little space. Food had
no appeal, nor did getting out of bed.
Sleep didn’t come, as much as she wanted it to, so she lay in bed for
hours, tossing and turning. Her only family was gone. She was alone in the
big world that he’d sheltered her from, and now she had to figure it out
without the person who meant everything to her.
The third night after finding out about Cameron’s accident, she couldn’t
fall asleep, so Maddie got out of her bed in the early morning hours and
carried her Stitch stuffy down the hall to her brother’s bedroom.
