Chapter 13: Seize the Moment

"Hey bro," Nat said as he entered the Wolff apartment. Alex was sitting at the counter eating a bowl of cereal and playing an app on his phone. Alex glanced up at Nat and looked back down at his phone. "Look, I'm sorry about everything that's happened this past week. That…that wasn't the real me."

"Well no crap, my big brother wouldn't do that to me." Alex yelled.

"And your big brother is sorry for that! And he knows how much you were hurt by what he said and he wants you to know he loves you more than anything in the world." Nat told him, putting his hand on Alex's shoulder. "And he knows that you had nothing to do with what happened outside our apartment a week ago and that it wasn't your fault."

"You mean that?" Alex asked.

"More than anything." Nat smiled. Alex jumped off the stool and gave his brother a hug.

"I missed you bro." Alex said. They both laughed as they did their silly handshake they made up as kids.

"I missed you too kid." Nat said, tousling his brother's hair. "Now, what's that I heard about a new song? Let me hear it."

Meanwhile…

"So, did you and Nat work everything out?" Kristina asked as the two lay next to each other in Rosalina's hospital bed as they watched The Vow.

"Yeah I think so; he called me his girlfriend…that's good right?" Rosalina asked, reaching her hand into the bowl of popcorn.

"Did you lose your sense of boys when that idiot hit you?! Of course that's good!" Kristina exclaimed. "I mean, it's not like I wanted you to be hit by a car but some good things came out of this. Alex got inspired, me and Thomas, you and Nat, things are good."

"Yeah they are." Rosalina smiled. "Guess I have that life changing event I was looking for, huh?"'

A few days later, Rosalina hobbled into her English class with the support of her crutches the doctors insisted she used until her broken bones were healed. She stopped at Mr. Boyd's desk on the way to her desk and she pulled at paper out of her bag.

"Here's my essay Mr. Boyd, sorry it's a little late," Rosalina said, handing him the essay. "I was kind of busy having that life changing moment."

"I look forward to reading it Ms. Tai." Mr. Boyd said. "Hope you're feeling better."

"Better than ever."

Life, you blink one second, and the whole world, your whole life flashes before your eyes in that one second. One second, you're walking across the street. The next second, you wake up a week later from your death bed. When this essay was assigned, I examined my life, well at least tried to. And I came up with nothing. Surprisingly right, the guitarist/bassist of a world famous rock band can't find a life changing moment. I mean, don't' get me wrong, I love my life and I wouldn't change it for the world but sometimes, you just want something new to happen, to shake things up. Well I definitely got what I asked for, in the form of me flying over the top of a Thunderbird and landing me in a coma for a week. A coma that my friends were told I wasn't even supposed to make it out of. If I wouldn't have made it out, I would have never have given my best friend one last hug and one last car ride where we scream the words to songs. I would never have been teased by my friends again, even though I pretend to secretly hate it. I wouldn't get to be a big sister to one of my favorite little people. And most importantly, I would never have been able to tell the boy I love that I will never stop loving him. They say you don't know what you've got until it's gone. So don't wait for the life changing moment, seize the moment.

THE END!
