Too Much Too Soon, chapter 19
"OUT OF GAS?!" Billie yelled. He got of the car, and kicked the door behind him.
"Hey now! This is my car!"
"Well, it's not worth much if it can't move!" he said and stomepd to the back of the car to lean on the trunk. He tried to use his cell phone for help, but there was no reception. He wished he had a cigarette on him at that moment. David got out of the car and said, "Billie, I'm sorry."
Billie's anger swelled up inside of him, and like a volcano, the words exploded from his mouth, "YOU'RE SORRY?! Why didn't you just stay on the damn highway?! You're sorry this, you're sorry that! You know what?! I take back my apology earlier....you have been no help at all! My two sons are gone, my wife is gone, and now what?!"
David stood blankly at him. Billie couldn't see his face very well in the darkness, and David couln't see the pain in his brother's face.
"WHAT NOW DAVID?! WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NOW?!"
"I don't know."
"Ha, you don't know. What are you gonna be sorry? You're the helpful one! Tell me, am I gonna die?! I might as well!"
"Maybe you will."
Billie froze and shivered at his brother's unexpected tone and response. There was a blurr, and he tried to hold on to the car for support. He heard a gun cock, and heard his last words, "Billie, rest in peace." *BANG*
