Okay, um.
I need some advice.
I lied to everyone today.
To my mom, to my dad, to my brother, to my best friend, to my favorite teacher... everyone.
About 3 days ago, I saw someone get killed. Two people, actually.
Not brutal murder kind of killed or anything like that.
There was a pregnant woman crossing the street by where I live.
She looked to be around 6 months along.
A drunk driver ran through a stop sign and...
just.. hit her.
I was moving before I could register anything that just happened.
The driver skid to a stop at the side of the road and came running.
I reached her first.
And... there was blood, coming from her mouth and her nose, hand clutched over her belly.
With her free hand, she grabbed me and said,
"Save him."
I knew she meant her baby.
I had to watch as the life left her eyes.
The driver was too messed up to help.
I crossed the woman's arms over her chest and stood up. I looked the driver in the eyes and said,
"Get the hell away from her. Get the hell away!"
I lost it.
I right hooked him in the jaw.
The woman and her baby were declared dead on the spot.
I haven't slept since and I don't know how to cope with this. Every night, I relive her dying in my nightmares.
Any words left are gone now.
That just... changed me.
