In the car, my father looked happy. “Ash, you've been out for weeks. I’m so happy you are finally up,” he said. “What did I miss?” I muttered to Axel. “Nothing much. Julia told you most of what you did miss. The twins are three months old today,” Axel said. “Oh,” I said. The rest of the car drive home was pretty much silent. When we got home, I went straight to my room. I didn’t eat but I had to talk to Brandon again. I wanted to help him with the research.
Axton knocked on my door. “Hey, can I come in? I want to talk,” he said. “Sure,” I responded. Guess Brandon has to wait. Axton opened the door and sat next to me on the bed. “How did you end up in the left seat? I remember you sitting behind me in the right seat. The seat belt was still buckled up like you were still in it,” he said. I sat there thinking about what happened. “I slipped out of it. I wasn’t able to unbuckle it. When the car had tipped, I fell onto the left side and blacked out,” I said.
“Oh, that makes more sense. I thought you did something abnormal you know,” he said, laughing. It was the first time I had seen him smile in a long time. “Yeah, the only abnormal thing is my messed up arm,” I said, letting up my left arm. It was in a cast now. He smiled again. “Hey, it looks great, nerd. I bet the kids in your college would love you even more,” Axton said. “Yeah I guess you’re right,” I said. “Alright, I’ll leave you to rest. I’ll tell dad you are doing alright,” he said. “Alright,” I said as he got up. He left and shut the door behind me. “Okay, lay down and try to glitch back there,” I said. I laid in my room under the covers. “Think about it, Ash. Come on, think about going to the system of life,” I said, closing my eyes tight.
