2 girls. out of gas. south central L.A.
would you like to know that i almost ended up in a ditch, dead, tonite? insane. so my friend jen made me go all the way to long beach to see her friend's band play. well, her room mate laura was also going, we've never met, but jen didn't want us both to go, from la. alone so we went together. laura is very nice. so, laura and i are driving home and she mentions how she's out of gas but knows her car will make it. i said do you want to get gas? she said i'm debating but i know it will make it. so, we get onto the 110 and sure enough we run out of gas. thankfully we are near a downhill exit and when we reach the bottom we see a gas station about a block away. only the car died. so we put on the hazards and start to walk. hmm i wonder where we are we say. don't know. the sheriff dries by and doesn't even stop. oh shit we're in the ghetto. we get to the gas station and instantly a mob of crackheads approach us wanting to "help" us. ok so its getting intense and then this man and woman drive up, tell us they saw us on the freeway, got off saw us walking alone and came back to help us. they shoo away all the crackheads. at first i'm a little sketchy of them but at this point i go with it. katie they fucking saved us. they said that we were in the WORST part of south central la, that the cops don't even stop there and that all those people were about to, and i quote, "get us". so they drive us back to our car, help us put the gas in, and make us follow them to another gas station so we can fill up. they were amazing, our angels. so then laura and i drive home with smiles because we're in shock, imagining how bad it could have been. shit, someones looking out for us. what a first nite to spend with a new friend, right?
