i dont know what to say.
 

i cant believe this (you probably wont either)


so its about 3am and my friends and I are ready to go home from a party. we are all pretty buzzed and one of my friends offers me a ride home, I knowing he was semi-drunk (and the way he drives) decided to get a ride with someone else.


2 days later there is another party, so i decude to call one of my friends named john the night before to see if he wants to go. heres the conversation:


Me: "Is john there?"

jhon's g/f: "no hes not, hes in fucking the hospital right now!"

Me: "wha wha waaa....t, what hell happened?"

jhons g/f: "*pauses* *sniffles* you know that party you went to? well jhon, chris and nick crashed into a FUCKING TREE on the way home, chris was ejected throgh the windshield and is DEAD. nick is in ICU, and jhon has a broken pelvis and a fractured SKULL"

i paused for a few seconds ( i was in shock)

Me: "oh my fucking god.....(im not even religious) *pause* will *studders* they be ok? i mean john and nick?"

jhons g/f: "they say nick will be ok, and jhon will be too... i dont know what to do, im a nervous wreck *starts to cry*

me: "you do know they offered me a ride right!?"

g/f: "WHAT? you coulda been DEAD right now!!!!!"

me: "yeah, i know. i dont know what to say *i really get emotional now* which. hospital. are. they. at.?"

j.g.f.: Loma linda, i was just about to go and see him when you called. would you like to come and see them, it'd mean alot to them, and i really dont think i can go alone like the way i am now"

me: "i dont know, i feel really wierd right now........ok, yeah i guess. ill pick you up"

i pick her up and we drive over together. when i was driving, sitting in that car. i had the most happiest and most depressing feeling of my life. its like something had passed through me and assured me that everything was ok now. i dont know what the fuck this was... but i know it was spiritual (im not even religious)....when we pulled up to the hospital i almost began to cry.



so we went to the hosptial, i saw my friends. seeing my friends torn up like that scars you for life. i could have been killed. that could have been me with that toe-tag on. this shit is fucking unreal. i feel like one of the people from final destination. but i know, i made the right choice, i chose not to go with them. but just the thought of knowing you can be dead right now. really makes you realize how lucky you are to be alive. and EVERY little thing that you took for granted before, now you enjoy and appreciate it no matter how small or stupid it may seem you realy appreciate it nad realize how lucky you are. im changed for life. for all you risktakers out there. dont get in a car with a drunk. trust me. i wish i could say something different but "i know from experience"now.

unreal.


R.I.P. Chris.

That's horrible. I'm sorry.

wow dude, im really sorry. did you know that kid chris that this happened too? if so, i send my condolenses. this happened to some teens the day of my birthday ( i didnt know them at all) but they crashed into a wall and 3 died, 2 are in the hospital. they were all drunk, slammed 70MPH into a wall. im never going to get into a car with a drunk driver, and now for sure i knowi never will. hope you get along with this well, again im sorry dude.

Holy fuck. Im at a loss for words.

i know how you feel...i couldnt think of what to say besides of a similair incident

wow what a shame dude. Hopefully they will re-cover soon

Tragic. Death by Stupidity.

I hope your two friends recover, they should of had the common sense to avert such a thing.

At least you knew what you were doing.

Sorry for your loss , and thankful for your wits.

ed:

Good call.

My condolences...

Sorry to hear that. And sorry for the loss...stay strong.

shit..............

that is real sad but totally preventable. Every year it seem each school losese kids to drunk driving. I hope all the kids in school will learn from this and not just discuss it at the next party before they drive home

You're very lucky, man. Thank God you had the smarts to decline the ride.

sorry to hear about your friends, hoping for a speedy reovery

we all go through experiences like this in our life, its too bad yours had to happen now.

Wow thats crazy. oOo:

man that sucks. It reminds me of those anti drinking campaigns that you read that people think are fake. Most of these stories are real. Fuck man, that sucks balls. I've never driven with someone while they were drunk. But I let a kid drive before after he drank half a liter of vodka... He got the pizza, heh.

im sorry to hear that man, i wish you and your friends good luck and a fast recovery.

insane.... hope your pals heal up soon... you chose wisely...

Sorry to hear about that...that kind of stuff happnes a lot here, Ive lost 6 friends, 4 to drunk driving. Acually I had something similar to that happen 2 years ago when I was in middle school, my friends older brother took me and another guy out to some bars, while we listened to the music he got drunk, I luckily had to go to Church in the morning so my older sister was downtown too so she picked me and my other friend up early, the next Monday I came to school to find out that both my other friend and his older brother which both of them stayed at the bar, got in a head on collision cause the guy was drunk, luckily my friend who was in the back only got a minor cuncusion but his brother went to the emergency room and wasnt released for a week and a half. I knew that God was there and the only reason I got out with no injury was because I had to go to Church and God saved me, thats really when I became as religous as I am now, along with a few other private incedents that I dont wish to talk about in a public internet forum...

What the fuck of kind of friend are you? You KNEW our friends were "semi-drunk" and you let them drive? what the fuck man... sorry about your friends.. but still.. hake:

thats horrible man. a similar experience happend to me about 25 days ago. my friend burak committed suicide. he was one of my best friends. it was horrible, i saw one of the toughest jocks i know bhall his eyes out like a little girl with me. since then i've gotten somewhat over it. Newt helped me a lot with it actually. If i hadn't been playing battlefield with him i might have killed myself too. RIP burak limasollu (sp?)

EDIT: since then i have been a volunteer EMS (emergency medical servicemen) at my local ambulance squad. My friend actually saw his body when he died.

I'm sorry for your freinds because they didn't have enough common sense not to get behind the wheel.

Similar things have happened to me, I dont really feel like writing them.

Im truly sorry.

Lucky your friends didn't kill someone else in the process.

Sorry about your loss.

Wow, This happens way too much. Sorry man, that sucks, but you shoulda stoped em from driving

wow that sucks, you are very smart to get a diffrent ride, that happened down here like a month ago 3 kids hit a tree and 2 died

man that sucks - hope they have a speedy recovery

Was that in the papers ?

n/m

wow dude that sucks. i hope your friends will have a full recovery. You did the right thing hunter im glad that you thought before you got in with a drunk driver. My sympathies man.
