My worst nightmare

Where it all started.

I am about 15 years old and it is a Friday morning. On my way to school, I decided that morning to put on my favorite clothes on, my Levi's skinny jeans and my white t-shirt. On that morning, I felt something weird, as if something bad was gonna happen! Well, I tried to put this thought out of my head for the day, because that night, I had a party with all of my friends. It was a Christmas party, organized by my crush. It was the last fifteen minutes of the schoolday and all of the grade five were excited about the party. When the bell rang, everybody jumped off their chair and ran out of the school. We were so excited, but over this, I still have this strange feeling... That something is going to happen.

Choice 1 : I am going anyway...

Choice 2 : I decided not to go...

I am going anyway...

We talked about this party for months, I can't just give up on my friends like that. It is now 5pm and I have a strange cocktail of feelings. I am the only girl in the group with my car license. So I am confuse if I should drink and call my mom around midnight for a ride, or staying sober and bringing all my friends home by the end of the party. I know my mom would be happy to bring me home and knowing I am safe, but not all my friends did find a ride home yet... Well, what would you do?

Choice 1 : I would be drinking and calling my mom for a ride back home.

Choice 2 : Stay sober and give a ride home to all your friends..

I am drinking and calling my mom for a ride back home.

And so goes the night... As you know I decided to drink. It's been a few drink and I am seing really blurry. My head is a mess and I am not feeling that good. Why was I so excited about this boring party? Is it because my crush would be there? What was it. I am trying to have fun but the gut feeling that is haunting me since this morning has not left me yet. For a minute a felt the needed to go kiss Jonathan, my crush. I run upstair, I take his hand and kiss him on the lips. What just happened? I laugh and went outside. What did I just did? I accuse alcohol for this one!!! I took my phone out and call my mom. I just wanna be home. As soon as I see my mom's car in the drive way, I stepped in her car. She know I am a little bit drunk but doesn't ask me anything. So I decided to talk to her about my bad feeling that I have since this morning. She take my hand and told me: '' Whatever it is sweetheart I am here now ''. It is a this moment that a truck hit the passenger side of the car...

Choice 1 : The end...

So I decided to stay sober and give a ride home to all my friends..

It was around midnight and I was so so tired. This party is not as fun as I expect it to be. In fact, I am really bored. All my friends are dancing while I, am just sitting on the sofa scrolling my instagram. I wish I was drunk too. On another hand, I will be in a good shape tomorrow so I could go to the gym. Also, I did not even see one time Jonathan, my crush. I literally came here to see him.. As you can see my night is far from exciting. It is now close to one AM and we are getting ready to leave... I am driving to my last destination to drop my friend and my eyes are really heavy. I can't even imagine how I will be able to make it home. I now drop Stacey home and go on my way home. Luckily, my favorite song is now playing on the radio. It give me the least energy I need to drive home. I finally see the last red light before my streets.. As I am so tired, I didn't realize that the light was really red and by the time I passed it... A truck hit my car!!

Choice 1 : The end...

I decided not to go...

This weird feeling that was stuck in my mind was dragging me down. So I decided to stay home so nothing could happen to me. My mom and I decided to call Pizza and watch Christmas shows all night. My mom is a nurse, so she never has time for me.. She doesn't have some for herself either. Daddy did come and join our little pyjama party and as usual he is making boring jokes. Why was I so excited about that party? I am having so much fun now, it is family quality time. It is now midnight and I am getting ready to go to bed. I am hearing my phone ringing! Stacey's calling me. She needs a ride home... I am in my pyjama, my home is warm and the outside is cold and dark. I don't feel like leaving my house! But am I a bad friend if I refuse to bring her home.. Grrrr! What should I do?

Choice 1 : Go and give her a ride home...

Choice 2 : It's late, go get some sleep

I decided to go and give her a ride home...

I am so exhausted... I hope she is not going to be sick in my car! I would be so mad!!!! She get in and seem not that drunk. She told me that the party was not that fun and I did a great choice by staying home. I am happy that I stayed home, but I am now so tired that I can't hear a thing that she is telling me. I am just trying to be focus on the road. Arriving at Stacey's house, she give me a hug and thanks me for giving her a ride back at her place. I can't say it was a pleasure, because clearly I just want to be in my bed. I am now on my way home and I am so so tired!!! I am doing my possible to stay focus on the road. I feel my eyes being heavier every minutes the time goes by... I finally see the last red light before my street!! As I say the light was red but I was so tired that I got confused and didn't stop. It is a this moment that a truck hit my car...

Choice 1 : The end...

It is late, I should get some sleep.

Going in my bed was too much demanding for me, I can't even imagine jumping into my car and driving. I am happy to be under my sheets. My bed as never felt so good. I knew that, that night if I would jump out of my house, something would happen to me...

The end...

Next thing I know is that it is now ten PM and I am in my hospital bed. My mom's by my side, she is alright but she seems tired. When she sees that my eyes are open she jump on the bed and start crying. Nurses and a doctor are running in my room to put out the tube who was helping me breathing. It is kind of hurting my throat but I can't complain I am alive!! They let my family in and all of them were really happy to see me alive and half healthy!!! I have a broken wrist. The worst part is that I was in the coma for almost two weeks... My head was full of stitches. It is now a month later from my accident and I am finally going home!!! After so many surgeries and pain, I am now free. In this month, I had a huge amount of time to think about my life. The one who save my life, are the nurses! They were so sweet, and smart, and fast when something was not okay with me. That in this month, I decided my life path! I want to become a nurse.. I sent my name to a nursing program and I am now waiting for the answer... This accident was probably the worst and the best thing that ever happen to me! Without it, I would never be the same strong teen as I am now..
