William Evans never had much his family ingnored him favouring his smart and charming older brother, he had average grades though not for lack of studying, some nights he didn't even sleep, his looks were nothing special he had dark brown hair and eyes glasses pale skin and some eye eyebags from lack of sleep, and never in his 25 years of life had he had a single speck of romance.
So yeah William's life wasn't exactly great, it wasn't bad or anything if he had describe it in one word it would be lackluster.
Then one day on the way to his boring office job he saw a little girl running down the street chasing a ball when a truck came into view he quickly realized that the little girl would be hit by the truck so he ran to her and pushed her out of the way she was safe but he was not he braced for the impact from the truck and then...
When he woke up the world was blurry he could see white and light but that was it he checked for damage, arms? check, torso? check, head? obviously check, legs? .... he couldn't feel them. Well it could be worse Will thought he could be dead but he wasn't he was alive.
After awhile a nurse came in gave him his glasses and explained what had happened after he got hit by the truck he passed out luckily there was a doctor in the area and he helped stabilize him while the ambulance came if the doctor hadn't been there he would be dead. Will was very thankful for the doctor being there and told the nurse to thank them for him the nurse then went on to explain that they couldn't save his legs and he would likely be paralyzed for life.
A few months had passed and Will was discharged from the hospital, while he was learning from the nurses how to live without the ability to walk the little girl he saved and her family came to thank him for saving her Will was humble in his response of "It was no big deal really I'm just glad she's safe." this didn't stop the family from writing him in their will and offering him a job, his boss fired him for being late without even letting him explain what happened, he didn't know what to do about being written into their will but happily excepted the job offer.
The only thing Will can say he disliked about his hospital stay was that his family didn't come to visit him but it wasn't unexpected so he didn't get depressed over it instead he was excited, today he would be going to his new workplace as he wanted to get started right away he was still a bit new with crutches so his steps were a little clumsy but he didn't mind and since the job was an open offer he didn't have to worry about being late.
As he was walking he saw some people he recognized in the distance, it was his parents and brother! Two options appeared in his head he could just ignore them and go to his new workplace like planned, or he could go up to them and guilt trip them for not visiting him while he was in the hospital, while normally he would never even consider option two saving that little girl and her family thanking him gave him confidence, something he didn't have before after some thinking he decided that his family deserved to have a guilt trip or two from him after ignoring him all his life.
"Hey mom, dad , older brother how's life?" they turned to him and gasped slightly taking in the crutches they realized after a minute that they had yet to answer my question "Oh life's... life's good so ummm what happened son?" dad said uneasily "Oh I thought the hospital called you ( in this moment Will's dad was feeling very guilty because the hospital had called him but he dismissed them as soon as he heard it was Will in the hospital and not Zach Will's older brother.) well you see..." and so Will explained to his family what had happened and succeeded in guilt tripping them especially when he said he wasn't surprised that they didn't visit him.
After that line they all apologized and promised that from now on they would be a real family Will was overjoyed at this unexpected outcome finally things were looking up then he heard a yell he turned to see a guy with a knife running at his brother he quickly pushed Zach out of the way and felt immense pain in his side he had been stabbed and this time he knew he wouldn't be lucky enough to survive his last thoughts were 'I wish I could have made all this happiness on my own and not have to rely on someone else to give me confidence'
"Hello William Evans you probably already know this but you are dead."
