well, im back. I just decided to write an entry. I dunno, maybe cause something in this whole livejournal atmosphere sturred my feelings. But also cause something happened tonight that is gonna be hard to get off my mind, but ill talk about that later, i might as well start from the beginning.
ok, this morning.....uhhh, got up went to school
school....uhhh, boring, kinda sucked
first track meet after school...it rained!:D but i got a 6:21 on the mile and a 2:48 on the half mile. so i feel accomplished, but from being sick my lungs were really dying, they hurt pretty bad.
then...my mom took my cousin daren, my cousin eric, irene and i to dennys where i got one of the messiest things on the menu: a BBQ Chicken Sandwhich or something, if your afraid of getting messy, DO NOT GET THAT SANDWHICH!! holy mofo.
then....i got home, but i didnt wanna stay there, and i really wanted to drive somewhere, so i went to the gym, i did some stuff there, then comes the next big thing that is burned in my memory.
ok, so monica, jesse, and i were the only ones left in the gym, and we were just walking out the door. monica was outside, jesse and i inside, when we hear the screech of tires and the sound of smashing metal and shattering glass, right outside the gym. so monica yells for one of us to call 911 from the gym phone, so jesse runs inside and calls. monica and i sprint over the the two cars which crashed. the next person on the scene was Travis Hash, on the other side of the street, he was there about the same time as us cause he was a ways behind one of the cars that crashed. anywhoo, the car nearest to us was filled with smoke (which we guess was the airbag stuff) and a woman moaning about her teeth being knocked out (she was in shock), the guy driving that car wasnt hurt but was in shock. the other car, kinda of like bronco, pretty big, was tipped on its side with three teenagers crawling out. One was Stephanie Croft, ya might know her, shes a sophmore her at AHS, and the other two were both named Josh i guess, one a junior i think, and one a sophmore or junior, didnt recognize him, but he was the one driving. Turns out he wasnt legal to be driving passengers yet, so he is royally fucked. But luckily all of the teenagers were wearing seatbelts so none were majorly hurt. One of the boys has a spot of blood on his forehead, i guess from glass, but other than that, they were just shaken.
now, as for the small car that monica and i came upon right away. they didnt fare so well, the left front of the car was completely demolished, and the passenger side door was bent out a little bit. The man driving seemed ok, but the woman in the passenger seat didnt seem so well, so while monica was flagging downs cars i ran over to the woman in the car, she was really hurt, probably broke her legs, knocked out a lot of teeth i guess. i think the headlights on both cars died, because we could barely see anything, i could only really see the outline of the woman, especially with all the thick smoke in the car. monica said she heard her say "my...teeth...all my upper teeth are gone" so as shes moaning/crying about her face and leg, mostly legs, she grabs on to me. i tried my best to comfort her by saying stuff like "its ok, your gonna be alright" and holding on to her. well, the police and a fire truck arrived in like two minutes and about then the woman passes out and monica, jesse and i were like "are you ok? are you awake? and she just starts moaning. The police took over, put a neck brace and stuff on her, got her in a stretcher, took pics with a digital camera, painted lines on the road, asked questions, yadda yadda. monica had to give the police officer taking pictures her story cause she saw it happen. i could explain how it happened, but thats too confusing over livejournal. but what my dad said probably happened to the woman is this. she wasnt wearing her seatbelt, so the airbag knocked out her teeth and she slid under the airbag which crushed her legs, looking bag on it she really was slumped down alot. but anywhoo, monica decides we should get out of there before they start moving cars around and stuff so we can leave the parking lot, so we leave, got to starbucks, talk for awhile, and i go home.
i played my computer game for awhile, got bored, decided to read livejournals, and read a journal entry that really hurt me, i supposed pretty much anybody knows which one it is. and the smell of the smoke in the car and the spinning lights of the police cars are imprinted on my mind.
i am extremely relieved though that i jumped in there and did what i could to help. if i hadn't i would be plauged forever by the thought that i could have done something, even now i feel that i should have gotten the flares out of my dads truck. but hey, i tried my best.
