Monday night a girl I've been pretty close to for a while was killed in a car accident on the way to Lake of the Ozarks with her boyfriend and another guy friend. They were going really fast, hit something, lost control, and were air born for 200 yds before smashing into the cement and blowing up. The deputy said it was the worst accident he's ever seen. She was only 16 and just finished her last day of school until the summer. Her funeral is on Friday... During high school we had a few people die in car accidents, but I never knew them well enough to grieve. Krista used to live next door to me until her mom divorced her step dad and moved across the bridge. But she was still close to me. The last time I saw her was last month when I did her hair for prom. She was only a sophomore but got to go b/c her best friend was a junior and had her go with her. I also did their hair for homecoming. They promised to treat me to dinner and a movie for doing their hair for free. Today my step mom and I went to her duplex that they moved to, and saw her younger sister and mom. Her mom hadn't been on Lori's good graces for quite a while b/c she was letting Krista get really wild. We all worried about her getting knocked up... Now she doesn't even have the possiblity of graduating, growing, getting married, or having babies. When I first heard it, I didn't believe it. I was in complete shock. Then I thought I wasn't going to be able to cry... and then all of a sudden I couldn't STOP crying. It still doesn't seem real, like I'll see her sometime this summer... Now I know she's in a safe place and no one needs to worry anymore, I just wish that the safe place would be back next door.
RIP Krista Will *I love you*
