Every inch of my body went 2 as I realized what he had said. My sister was injured. One question sounded over and over in my head--how 3 this have happened? 4 she was only 17, Amanda was one of the safest drivers I knew. I felt shocked and terrified.
My brother and I 5 immediately for the hospital my sister was in. When we arrived, my sister's face was 6 from the eyebrows up and you could see blood everywhere. She was 7 to several machines. My mom and dad stood at her side crying.
My sister looked up at me with blood-filled eyes, where I expected to see fear, I saw 8 She said to me, “I love you, Rence.” I suddenly realized how 9 I tell my sister I love her. I tried to 10 her, but she wasn't listening any more, because some doctors were taking her away to the x-ray room.

My heart leaped as I realized I 16 had a sister. She would need a lot of plastic surgery (整容手术), but she was17
A year later, even though my sister and I quarrel sometimes, every time I see her face and 18 the large scar that stretches across it, I remember to tell her that I 19 her. I remember when I almost didn't have the 20 to tell her again how much I love her.363
