Eventful weekend...
Okay, so this is my new journal for this year. It's strange because I started my old journal at the beginning of last year, and at the beginning of this year - here I am again starting a new journal. Anyways, I had to try LJ out because Lin was telling me about it, and all the features, and it sounded good. So here I am.
I've had somewhat of an eventful weekend. Friday was such an enjoyable day. First I met up with Jane & Rach and we went to hand our assignments in at Uni. Then we caught the bus into Manchester and did some shopping in the sales! We all got new shoes! It was fun catching up, I haven't spoke to them much over Christmas. I guess everyone is busy doing there own thing this time of year. So we got some lunch and chatted. I bought a pilates DVD! I know what you're thinking... Katie... pilates? :/ Well I decided I need to get fit. I used to goto the gym like 3 times a week, and then Sven & I got together and everything just went downhill... I'm kidding. I guess I just got preoccupied and my gym membership has run out there now. :/ So I've been meaning to buy one for a while after watching a program on pilates. I'm just going to do 30 minutes a day, it's just simple stretches and so on, nothing too strenuous. It tones all your body and it's supposed to relieve stress. So I thought... perfect! I need to be toned for summer when I go away with my baby, <3
Anyways, Sven picked me up from town after he finished work and we went back to the flat. We just had a quiet night alone together and gave each other some TLC. It was nice. :) I fall in love with him everyday. On Saturday night we were supposed to be going out to town, but Kate's gran died so obviously she wasn't going to come, so we decided it would be a little more respectful if we stayed in. Ste came round and we watched a DVD, and messed around on the XBox for a while. Sven & I stayed up way after he left, and at about 2am we both decided we were hungry so we took a little road trip to find somewhere open.
After about 30 minutes, we found a garage with a Safeways attached to it, so we decided to go in and get something from there. When we were leaving, Sven had to edge out with his car from the garage because there were cars all along his side blocking the view of the road. Well when we thought it was safe he went. At the same time a speeding taxi pulled out a side street just further down the road and carried on straight towards us. He must have only seen us at the last minute and he slammed on his breaks. He skidded right into us.
It went kind of blurry from here. I just remember sitting in the car not moving, not saying anything. I could hear Sven saying - shit. shit. shit. We got out and pushed the car to the side of the road because it wasn't drivable. The taxi had hit the back wheel on Svens side and it had broken the axel. It looked a mess. Sven kept hugging me and asking me if I was okay. The police came. They had to sweep all the mess off the road, all the broken glass and bits of plastic. It was awful. Some friend of the taxi driver kept telling me I should claim compensation, and he started giving me all these forms to fill in. I just wanted to go home. He gave us a lift back to the flat at about 4am after everything was sorted out.
I've never seen Sven so angry at himself, so worried, so scared. It was horrible to see him like that. We just kept hugging each other. He kept asking if I was okay, over and over. I didn't care how I was, I was worried about him. He started going on about how angry his dad would be, because it was his dad paying for his insurance, and how he always messes everything up, and how he was sorry he put me through this. I kept telling him over and over that it wasn't his fault, and that we were both fine, and how lucky that was. Especially since he hadn't been wearing a seatbelt.
Finally we went to bed but we both layed awake for ages. At about 9am Sven got up and rang his dad to tell him. They went to try and tow the car back with his dad's truck but something snapped on the wheel while they were trying to tow it, so they had to leave it meters from where it started.
I was exhausted. I called my mum who I was supposed to be meeting at my aunties house later, as it was my cousins 1st birthday. I told her what happened, and she said she would pick us up, but I said I didn't real feel in the party mood. I went back to bed for a bit and Sven walked to the shop to get us some lunch.
Things got better later last night. I decided to stay with him last night because I couldn't bear leaving him and I needed him to be with me. I hate not sleeping next to him. So I stayed. Ste came round to see how we were. I haven't told anyone yet, not even Kate. Anyway, Sven & I got a takeaway and watched a movie and we felt a lot better, the shock of everything has died down, and everyone's been really good about it.
My mum picked me up from Sven's flat this morning. He had to leave early for work :( So mum & I did some errands and came back home. I tried to do some studying since I have an exam on the 28th. A week on Wednesday. But I can't concentrate at all.
I miss my angel. It's so hard being away from him after spending all weekend with him 24 hours a day.
I suppose I should get some sleep anyway. I will try and post tomorrow. <3
