Permanent Possession

* Ten years earlier*
* Sarah's POV*

" SARAH!! Dépêche-toi!" ( SARAH!! Hurry up!) yelled my older brother Alexandre, from the bottom of the stairs.

" Calme vous-même. Je suis venue!" ( calm yourself. I'm coming) I yelled from my bedroom door pulling on my tan UGG boots.

Alexandre is 18 and plays for the midget AA hockey team in our home town. His team is playing for the league title tonight, they have already won Provincials and are hoping to add the cherry on top of their excellent season. Alexandre is the captain and the entire team loves him and looks up to him.

" Mon Dieu! Finalement!" ( My God. Finally!) Alexandre says when I come down the stairs.

" Ferme ta bouche idiot."( close your mouth idiot) I say smirking at him and head for the front door.

" TROIS. DEUX UNE!!! Les Phantoms de Saint-Antoine est vos 2004 gagnant du Midget AA!" ( Three. Two. One!!! The Saint-Antoine Phantoms are your 2004 Midget AA winners) boomed the announcer at the Saint-Antoine arena.

I was standing in the crowed with my little sister and parents, crying with joy for Alexandre. He'd worked so hard to get to where he is today.

We headed down to ice level to congratulate the boys. As soon as Alexandre saw me he came speeding over enveloping me in a huge bear hug.

"Felicitations!!!" ( congratulations) I scream once Alex has set me back down.

" Merci beaucoup Sarah. Il y a un parti au maison du Francois et vous êtes invités sis, qu'en dites-vous? Voulez-vous venir avec moi?" ( thank you very much Sarah. There's a party at Francois' house and you're invited sis. What do you? Do you want to come with me?) Alex asked after hugging the rest of the family.

" Absolutment!" ( absolutely)

______

I'm at Francois' party and I've already lost my brother in the sea of people. I've had a few drinks but not enough that I'm intoxicated. All the boys are still buzzing from their win and add in the alcohol they are probably the happiest guys in New Brunswick right now.

Before I realize what's going on I'm in one of the guest rooms in Francois' house making out with Brett Williams. One of the veteran's on Alex's team. He's originally from Prince Edward Island but moved here when he was fifteen. I'd had a crush on him since he first played with me brothers team. Now he's drunk and trying to get in my pants.

" No, Brett stop! Brett, I'm not ready."

" I don't care if you're ready or not Sarah. I just won the league championship. Now shut up and enjoy it."

_____

' That was horrible.' I thought as I lay in bed crying after Brett left.

After about half an hour of crying I got up and got dressed, then I went to look for Alex. I was sick and tired of this party and couldn't wait to go home and sleep it off.

I found Alex sitting on the couch, completely intoxicated.

Myself and a few of Alex's teammates got Alex out to the car and I drove us home.

_____

I woke up around 10:30 the next morning. I got up and got semi-ready for the day. Around 11 I went to check on Alex. When I got to his room I found him sound asleep on his back. I knew he probably shouldn't sleep any longer so I shook him trying to wake him up. But when I touched him he was ice cold. And not breathing. I called 911 and soon enough paramedics had showed up and taken Alex to the hospital I couldn't stop crying, I was so nervous to hear from the doctor. I just prayed Alex would be alright.

_____

At 4:30pm on Sunday March 20, 2004 my brother was pronounced dead.

The cause of death.

Alcohol poisoning...
