We swerved afround the corner

just as soon as we thought it was clear

we were struck

rolling like a bowling ball

by a car that rufused to yeild

here I am confused

Wait

Lydia?

Lydia being her

her being my best friend

I have to go find her

I will go now

let me leave I plead

who am I talking to

who is this

a police officer

why am I here

I NEED to leave

let me leave

no he insists

I cry

I have to leave

NO he says again

then I have a question

Where is Lydia

Dead he answers

DEAD

I was sitting in class writing a story and I was looking at a picture of a car crash and I thought I have to write about this. Next thing I know I was writing it in bed and having dreams about it. Then I knew for sure that this was it.
