"Rebecca, we recieved the report back from Dr. Rasin's office (Rye-seen) yesterday, and his statements say that you do show signs of cognitive brain trauma. This offers an explanation for your before/after difference in school and other areas." Darlene was helping me prepare for the deposition I had in a half hour. I was to see the face of the man who crossed over the yellow line, from his life and crashed into mine, changing many people's entire lives forever.1
Like pavement to the face, I heard the words, they hit hard. To this day, I hardly believe them more than anyone else does. Almost three years after my life changed forever, I find out yet another injury to add to the incredibly long list I had to begin with.2
I took a deep breath, but showed no change in emotion. I had become good at that. Inside could be a tornado in a trailer park, but outside looked like smooth sailing. I was sick of this "accident" being in every aspect of my life and I wanted it to just go away. I had almost come to terms with the fact that it never would just go away and would probably cause trouble until time stopped.
Author notes
Yes, this is going to hopefully be a finished story (not sure of the length yet) based on the biggest, worst, most life-changing thing that has ever happened to me. I'm hoping to stay as near to the truth as I can. Though my intention is to have everything be worked off of something I noticed after the accident.
Intuition, my mom calls it. I "guess" things and they usually come true. I figured it was all common sense, but it's scary sometimes exactly how accurate I am. I love it. You'll find out more when I write more =) It's really the only thing I'm confident about.

I ask for your true honesty. If you like it, tell me; if you hate it, tell me.

But I understand what you're starting to say here. But, keep in mind, the accident brought good things as well.
If it weren't for that accident, I would have never met you. There's always hope within disaster.
But whenever you get sad or angry because your accident will not leave you alone, remember this - Only after disaster can we be resurrected.
