gone.

they swerved out of the way to avoid hitting an animal of some sort.
the driver over corrected and the car flew over the median
and flipped over, landing on a mercedes.
both cars had four passengers, and one of them died.
18 year old male... Jorge Aviles.
aly, sam, and josh were airlifted for treatment to hospitals...
they're in bad shape.
the 4 passengers in the mercedes were injured, but are doing fine now.

it sucks that jorge was the one who's life had to end.
i never saw him without a smile on his face all the days
i went to eastlake. if i wasn't smiling, he'd literally pull
my face into one. he mooched off my food as i did his...
we always rode the bus together and cracked jokes as well
as people watch all the strangers on the bus.

it cracked me up every time he wore lugo's long leather trench coat
cuz he'd dress up like neo..
or when he'd wear his various pairs of parachute pants
especially those yellow ones that drove me nuts....
and then he'd dress in head to toe yellow on top of it

we'd go to cafe solatto after school and just chill and talk
about anything and everything. on half days, we'd always grab
lunch with everyone in a huge group down at one of the shopping centers.
we always had THE strangest conversations.

we always bonded on our puerto rican stories and talk about what our families
did that was "so puerto rican"...

and he was one of the few that kept in touch with me after i switched schools.

jorge, i love you buddy and i'm really gonna miss you.
i'm sorry it had to end in something so bad&brutal.

i'm glad your family is burying you in the homeland [puerto rico]
and i'm glad they're having a memorial service here for you.
i'm really gonna miss you.
