For starters i was only 16 years old. i was in the passenger seat of a station wagon that my boyfriend was driving, the car belonged to his mother and of course he had his lisensce. well we were headed to wendy's, we ate that in the car and from there we were going to drop something off to were my boyfriends step-dad was at the time, well we never made it there. we might have been 5 minutes from where we needed to be when we were about to make a left turn, a white car come out of no where and smashed into my side of the car, front passenger. at first we did not know what happened, we didn't even know we were in an accident because it was soo sudden. all i could remember was hearing a loud "BASHH" sound and not being able to see out the windows. i panicked. all i could do was scream, and look at my boyfriend and think to myself i don't wanna die, and i dont want him to die, i love him, please protect us, grandma. i managed to get a small squeal of "are we falling off a cliff, james?" out of me because that's what it felt like to me. moments later, after all the bashing and smashing sounds had stopped, the last thing i saw before fainting was a strong white light infront of me and my boyfriend reaching to unbuckle and pull me from the car. after awakening, i found myself crieing on the side of the road next to the mangled car, and police men rushing me to an ambulance where i could be checked for injurys. i notice my boyfriend was standing next to me, telling me that we're fine, we're safe and that his parents are on the way. in small relief i look up to see my bfs step-dad running towards me, i look back at him and fall into his arms, crieing and shaking from all of this that i still call "a nightmare." after being seen at the hospital, and released to go home... the worse part of this story happens. i continuously relive this experience in my dreams, and while me and my bf who is now my fiance; are going for road trips, all i can think about is, "what if we get into an accident?"....what if.
so basically i want to spread the world out... please be careful driving, because experiences like these can not only affect you in that point in time, but for your whole life.
