I'm Sorry, He'd Been Saying.

The police had said the crash was just an accident, just an unlucky blind spot. But when I heard the now show floating from his room into mine, I was angry that he had forced me to put my life on hold and nearly killed us both. After a few weeks we began going on small walks down the road. When mum went out to work, she would leave crisps and sandwiches for us. We talked about how to not get piles when you're on strong painkillers. Whenever I laughed, my broken sternum filled with pain and he would wince as if the pain was his too. On the final walk, he asked for my forgiveness.
