What Actually Happened

Later that day a nurse explained to me what I would need to do to heal my eye, and then I was told I could leave the hospital with my parents. On our way out I visited Ellen. I didn't have much time to talk to her because I was kicked out by a nurse, but it was long enough to see the pain she must have been experiencing. She looked horrible and it was evident she didn't feel much better. I told her I killed Cameron Polk, then left. After leaving Ellen, I ran into my dad for the first time since the accident. He didn't seem to care too much about the car, which surprised me. He was concerned about me, as well as my brother Jack, who had lost the one person he had grown so close to. On the way home I asked if the accident was my fault. Instead of giving me a real yes or no answer, I was told that she was on my side of the street. My dad asked if I was speeding, and then told me that my blood-alcohol level was under the legal limit, but that Ellen's was three times the limit. I wanted a straight answer, so I asked again whether I was to blame for Cameron's death. My mother told me no, that she had been in my lane.
