so I was having a completely terrible day today. I mean everything that could go wrong has been going wrong. And jessica's been sick so we decided we needed to get away from this place. We got in the car and just drove in the general direction of asheville. We didn't have a plan for where we were going to go but we decided we would explore everything and see where we ended up. So after driving all the way there talking and singing the entire trip we drive around asheville and ended up at the mall. We walked around the mall for the longest time. I tried to help jessica find straight leg jeans because that seems to be what she has been wanting. we looked everywhere but couldn't find any but the ones I already have so she refused to get them. We watched the Nu metal kids walk out of the hot topic for a while and we ran around in the pet store looking at all the animals. We were adorable. hahahahahah. It took my mind off of things that were going on and helped me out a lot.
so in the middle of writing this entry I was interrupted by a girl covered in blood knocking on my door. She asked me to drive her to the hospital because her boyfriend had just been in a fight.. I get to the hospital and drop them off. The whole way there the guy is going in and out of consciousness. He is completely wasted and passing out all. The only thing he does is sit there and tell his girlfriend how much he loves her and how beautiful she is. We get to the hospital and they tell us he'll be okay so jessica and I come back to the dorm to get fresh clothes for the girlfriend and water and crackers so they can sober up. On the way back to campus we see fire trucks.. ambulances.. cop cars.. searching the ravine because someone has driven into it. We didn't know anything at the time but when we make it back to the hospital we find that a young man everyone on campus more or less knew or had met is in intensive care.. not five minutes after getting back they call everyone around to tell us he has passed on. This begins a few hours more of crying and people coming together. I have never seen so many grown men cry in my life. It really hurts my soul. All I can do is comfort the people I knew because I had only met this guy once or twice. I don't know enough about the situation but as far as i know three other people were in the car and as of right now those three people still have not been found.
Today was an eye opener. I understand more about the people around me.
I don't know what to think or say at this point. I just need to give myself time to cope
