Did I really Survive?

It was late on a december evening, I looked at the clock as i stretched what was left of my aching body! wow! It was nearly 12 in the morning! Time goes really fast even though we don't have fun!


My eyes stopped to the sight of waving hands coming from a table nearby the DJ post. I walked over and asked for their orders. It was the same typical evening no different to the ones before this. The breeze from the beach was warm yet refreshing, the sound of the birds in the surrounding trees and the music coming from the live stage was enough to make anyone's night complete. The problem was I was working in that area! What a bum right?


I drifted out of my quick dream when someone tapped me on the shoulder and told me that the boss wanted to see me. Oh NO! what was it this time? I looked over to where my friend was pointing and to my dismay it was my boss sitting with one of his friends. He must have seen me day dreaming or something. So many thoughts went through my mind and instantly my mind was filled with a million excuses to a million questions my boss was gonna ask me!


I could see that they were both drunk and right at that moment the most surprising thin happenned! The boss handed me the keys to his car and asked me to drive it back to the quarters because he had to send his drunk friend home! wow! talk about the don't drink and drive thing right? The minute the keys landed in my hands mischievious thoughts filled my head! Oh no! My eyes followed the duo untill they were out of sight! Phewf!!! that was a relief! Everything went normally for the rest of the night when suddenly the boss's niece showed up!


It was a relief to see her because i dont like driving alone and the thoughts of it haunted me. Not to say i'm a chicken or anything but I just hate driving alone especially in the middle of the night! The minute I saw Jess walking toward me i had the weirdest feeling that something was gonna happen but i didnt know what! She looked as happy as a child who just got a candy! "Hey sis! join us!" she said smiling and looking extra happy!


"Wow! hold it right there...." I interupted before she could even continue another word "where to and what for??"
I took a deep breath as i stepped into the shower that evening glad that work was over and i didn't have to walk home from work. If only things were like this everyday. My mind drifted of to the days when i was still a kid... wouldn't it be nice if we were kids forever, no need to worry about anything but play play and play. The sound of knocking on the bathroom door startled me. With a long sigh i finnished off and stepped out of the bathroom and saw my boss and his niece chatting away on the bed.


"Do you want to join us or not?" that question came as a surprise to me, i thought i had made it clear to them that i didnt want to join their night out activities. I just wanted to stay home and spend the night sleeping on the comfy bed. "Where to guys?" I asked lazily as i walked over to my wardrobe with the towel still wrapped around my head. " i told you guys i wanted to stay home right, there's still so much work that has to be done, no time for playing ok."


"Come on, join us party at R&B! You wouldn't want me to go by myself with these asseholes right?" I hear jess sigh as she finishes the sentence. Right at that moment my heart skipped a beat and something wasn't right here, I had to do something about it, But what? "Owh, Ok ok, just give me a few minutes to get dressed, " i said hesitantly "and you!" i pointed my finger straight at my bosses face "get out of the room, NOW!" I heard them giggling as i closed the doors behind them. I slowly got dressed and kept thinking and thinking why i'd changed my mind all of a sudden. This isn't me! Nobody tells me what to do!!!!!


I counted my steps as I walked out of the room, down the stairs and out the front door where they were already waiting for me in the car. "Why are we using somebody else's ride?" I knew my facial expression showed that i was really annoyed because the both of them were laughing at me. "My friend let me take his ride for the night he's blacked out at home had too much to drink" my boss gave me that mischievious grin before telling me to hurry in the car so we can move on to R&B.


I stepped into the car with a million thoughts running through my head. I kept looking at my phone to see the time as I felt the car go faster and faster. My heart skipped a beat as he sped past a red light and all of a sudden i felt a weird sensation run down my back. Something was going to happen but I didn't know what. Without realising i started to pray in my heart. I didn't want anything to happen just yet. I really do get uncomfortable when people drive really fast but this feeling is just too weird.


I looked up and saw the next corner and i knew that the car was going too fast to go past this corner but i didn't really think too much of this because i had these feelings before but nothing ever happened anyway. As we reached the curve i felt something pop on the left hand side of the car. I looked at my phone again to check the time, It was 3.15am and as i switched views to look outside the car i heard jess scream! "O my god what's happening?"


I felt the car turning left and right out of control and the next thing i knew the car was all over the place, left and right. I tried to look outside but all i could see was white light and blurred images of the road.I felt my body get thrown to the left and the right of the car and suddenly out of the corner of my eyes i saw a light post go past the side of the car just missing it by a bit! My phone fell out of my hands and i took a deep breath hoping nothing bad was gonna happen "o My god, i dont wanna die!" that was the last thing that came out of my mouth before i felt the car go to a sudden halt!


I tried to get myself out from under the front seat of the car and felt jess's body on top of mine. I pushed her off and was glad she was conscious. She started panicking and told everyone to get out of the car. "The car is gonna blow get out!!!" I quickly tried opening the door on my side but failed. The door was jammed in too hard, and the windows were broken. I stopped when jess pulled my arms telling me that her door was opened.


I was in shock when i saw how many people were already looking at the mess we caused. The car was in a horrible mess!!! The roof was all scratched and rammed in. The left hand side of the car was totally wrecked, and the wheels were flat! "wow you are still alive? The car was upside down just now" I heard someone from the crowd asking as he walked over to us in shock as well. " are you guys ok? need any help?" I nodded and pointed to the driver seat. I was speechless. I turned to jess and saw she was in shock as well. She was looking at what seemed to be a cut on her arm. Oh no she couldn't see blood. I quickly pulled her to the side of the road so she could sit but i was too late. She fell to the ground that instant. Luckily the crowd that had built up because of the acccident offered to help. I decided to sit there by myself and just sit there. A few minutes later the boss came out and asked if everything was ok. He was alive after all. I thought he was dead.


I saw anita's car arrive at the scene just a few minutes after the police arrived to check the scene out. I didn't have the strength to even move. It was like a bad dream. Even though it was real... I still think it's a dream....
