text: "Can I go to Amanda’s party tonight?" I asked my dad. "Not tonight sweetie, plus you have school in the morning," said my dad. I sighed. "Your mother is coming home late tonight and it would ease her mind to know you were here safe," stated my dad. My mom is a nurse at the hospital and last week a girl came in injured from an attempted kidnapping by a man in a red pickup truck. Today, my mom comes home late because it is her last day before she goes on maternity leave. An hour later, I grab a snack from the kitchen and I overhear my dad on the phone with my mom. "I will probably still be up at 12 when you get here," I overheard my dad say. I tell my dad that I am going to bed early, so he will not bother me. I sneak out. At the party, I only had a couple of drinks but I made sure to stop myself. Older guys were there and I paid them no mind. One of the guys in particular kept eyeing me down and he was a total smoke show. He walked over to me and offered me a drink. I informed him that I had to drive back home and he insisted that "one more drink will not hurt." I drank half of it and it was very bitter tasting. I looked down at my phone and I saw that it was 11:47pm. I panicked. The guy walked me out and we both got into our vehicles. He drove a red pickup truck. I began to SPEED home because the party was about 10 minutes away from my house. I look in my rearview and I notice the red truck behind me. I am 7 minutes into my drive. I approach the last traffic light before I get to my house and the truck is still behind me. No cars are in front of me and the light is green, I accelerate. I glue my eyes back on the truck. He suddenly makes a turn down a street and I exhale in relief. I focus back on the road and I see that the traffic light is now red. I hit the brakes as fast as I could but it was too late. I crashed into another vehicle. The airbags burst out immediately. I was in shock, but I quickly remembered that I t-boned another person. I got out of the car crying from glass cuts and thinking about how I was going to tell my parents that I caused a wreck 2 minutes away from home. I get my phone out of my back pocket to get ready to call emergency services. It is 11:58pm. I finally get a better look into the car and I can not see the person’s face because it is covered with blood. There was no response. This person had on scrubs and was pregnant.
