15th Dec 2013 15:45 now that i've had some sleep i thought it would be a good idea to write about what happened yesterday
it started off as a normal day, i hopped onto mara and was doing my daily thing as usual, lurking on forums browsing through pet trades after an hour or so i heard some loud voices in the living room but just shrugged it off "theyre probably on the webcam with family overseas". my brother called me out of my room - turns out mum won the lottery for $1000. mum and dad were excited. it was my dads birthday afterall, so it was a great surprise. i went back to my room and was called out again, turns out my cousin came to visit with his puppy jesse. man jesse has grown a lot. yes jesse is a guy. anyways my bro and cousin both went off somewhere so i went back to my room. i went back to doing my daily mara thing listening to music, and whatnot when a few hours later my mum comes into my room crying and says to me "get your things i'm taking you to your grandmas" and iwas like "mum? whats wrong.." all she replied with was "hurry get your things we have to go" worried, i ask again "mum whats happened..?" she goes "your brothers been in an accident hurry lets go". the moment she said that i thought of the worst possible things that could've happened to him and honestly expected to not see him again. i was getting all worked up inside - i wanted to know if he was alright and what happened and yeah if he was alright. i protested to being taken to my grandmas and had some time to calm myself. my mum was a mess and my dad he was angry at the situation. who could blame him? its not something a parent ever wants to hear "he's been in an accident". multiple times i reminded them both we need to stay calm in this situation but yeah mum was now on and off crying as she texted my aunties and called the others, updating them about the situation etc. we got ready and made our way to the hospital and met up with my cousin - the one with the dog. we're glad he was there when the accident happened. he then explained it to us. what happened was that they were going to get some food and my bro was on his motorbike. there was another guy on his motorbike infront of my brother and that man signaled to turn left. my brother wasnt with this dude or anything, he was going straight. the woman thought my brother was also turning but no he was not. she cut him off and he hit the car at 70km/hr. he fell onto his arm first and then rolled over i guess or slid or something. glad he bought a good jacket and helmet fosho. apparently it ripped at the stitching. my bro doesnt remember that though. my bro said that after he hit the car he was winded and couldnt breathe for like 15 seconds. he has a fractured rib and bruised lungs. not sure if anything is wrong with his arm though. anyways the main problem here was that his ankle was cut and bleeding. the cut is really deep and shaped like a crocodile tooth or something. he'll need stitches for it as his tendon could be seen :x so yeah after we got to the hospital and met up with my cousin my uncle then came aswell. apparently he cried when he heard the news and so my auntie was like "come on lets go visit". we sat around for like 25 minutes as my bro was being assessed and had his scan done forgot if it was a cat scan but yeah. 3 of us were allowed to go see him at a time so my mum dad and i went to visit. he was alot better than we all probably imagined and really i was and am glad that he's alright. he was complaining alot and cracking jokes so thats good. he was really hungry - never got his kebab afterall ahah. after a bit my dad and i left and let my uncle and auntie visit etc until they all went home. its good they came to visit. we let me brother have some rest as we went to get something to eat - it was around 11pm now and we couldnt find a subway etc so then we were after a hungry jacks but took a while to find that aswell ahah ofcourse. there were some interesting uh, customers at hungry jacks - a dude who was d.rugged up and an old man formally dressed - in a suit and everything, eating takeaway burgers. they were both hilariously out of place, it was good to laugh a bit. we went back to visit my bro one last time, he was starving afterall. got him a kebab (yay) and some ice tea cus that stuff is golden. they were going to start stitching his leg up so we had to leave. we said bye and mum wanted to know what time she could come to visit in the morning as he would be moved to another ward (he was in the emergency atm) and this hilarious dude behind the reception desk was just a ball. he was lively and cracking jokes, really funny dude. he convinced my mum to go home and get some sleep (she was really persistant. she wanted to stay overnight)and to have a good breakfast, then come visit. she really did need it, shes been crying since she found out about the accident. we then were on the way home and i got to carry my bros motorbike helmet. i was holding it in the car and trying really hard not to cry. i mean i know he's alright and thats great but ive been holding it in for hours and hadnt had the time to let out my feelings. someone had to remain calm and so i tried my best. i was so scared something bad had happened i dont know what id do without him. hes my big brother, youknow? i know these things happen everyday - he just happened to be there that moment. i never thought it would happen(typical aye?) and its really different when it does. unexpected, scary and everything combined.
anyways thats what happened yesterday. now that i scroll up, its alot to read but hey i needed to write about it somewhere. it will be here for me to read in the future.
man, what a big day
