Chapter 2
*About drunk driving. Do not read if it's a sensitive topic for you.*
I woke up the next morning in a hospital bed.
No recognition of what had happened the night before.
I woke up and felt a sharp pain in my head, another one in my arm.
I had the aftertaste of alcohol in my mouth.
I got up and I felt a harsh tug at my arm, I looked up and saw an IV.
I saw my parents sitting infront of my hospital bed, sleeping peacefully.
They were away at a buisness trip in Florida.
They weren't supposed to come back until later tonight.
Something most of happened.
I said their names and immediately my moms eyes were opened.
"Jenna." My mom said in a whisper.
She woke my dad up, "Jeff. Jenna's awake."
My dad woke up a few moments later. He looked at me and gave me a grim look.
"I'll go get the nurse." He said.
I could tell he was gonna cry.
"Mom," I began, "What happened last night?" I asked her.
My mom covered her mouth, tears came to her eyes.
"You really don't know, do you?" She asked me.
I shook my head.
"Jenna, a drunk driver hit Sarah last night. She's in critical condition. Under life-support."
"How did she get hit?" I asked.
"She was waiting for a ride."
"Mom..... Who was the drunk driver that hit her? Was it someone she knew?"
My mom looked at me, tears burst into her eyes.
"Jenna..... You hit your sister last night."
A few moments later, the whole room was spinning.
The next thing I knew, I was in a deep sleep.

I'd like to give this story in memory of my friend who was almost killed by reckless, drunk driving.
