The Gift
Why did she go? It should have been me in that coffin. That bomb should have struck me. We may have been going at each other but she was like a sister to me. ' If you want one McQueen, you get all of us ' she said before when she was younger. And that was a few of her last words to me. If only it had just hit Sonny. Theresa McQueen she should have just taken one for the team and gotten pushed off the train. That girl is me.
Carmel laid in a light pastel-y pink colour coffin, if she could talk she would say that she loved it. It's amazing how much you can miss someone/ something. You never really notice how much you love or need that thing that kept you going until it's gone. It really
hurts in my chest like a fiery pain that doesn't stop.' I felt faint and it seemed that I couldn't hold myself up anymore; that I was....'. Before I knew it I fell. " Boom sssssssssssssss thud!"
When I woke up I wasn't human, I wasn't alive, but I had seen
a red, defying stream lying and dripping from my head. If I was
there and I definitely knew I was standing up; I had gone. I was
dead.
I hadn't even got to say goodbye to my mum or anyone; not
anything, not anything at all. The only good thing that had come
from all of this was that I would get to see Carmel in heaven
because she's been so good.
