This weekend was the worst I've ever had. I've never been so scared, or so desperately
Sunday
night, on the way to my house for an impromptu bonfire, Gill and Pete
were involved in a near fatal crash that almost killed both of them. If
any of you have ever driven up/down 34 you may have noticed that
there's a driveway that swoops up steeply, only to go down again, in
an arch sort of thing. There's an old truck out there, and it seems
almost as if it's a road, but it's not. Gill was being an asshole, and
took it going 55 for fun. There's a large ditch/bump at the front of
the road, and they flew. They took out several guardrails, [the kind
that have the wiring and the wood posts] before finding themselves
supported only by the wires, the car leaning against it, threatening to
fall into 34. They were mere inches from a tree that, if they had kept
going, would have gone straight through Pete's side of the car. The car
is completely totalled. The steering let go, and the wheel can turn
forever without affecting the wheels, the drivers side door won't
close, the back door on the same side won't open, the back window is
smashed out. Airbags deployed, bumper missing, glass everywhere, and
wheel axle not really attached anymore.
Pete called me when they had gotten out of the car, and I immeadiately raced down.
I
don't know how to express the way that I felt that night. I really
don't. I felt so many horrible emotions at once, as soon as I saw the
car.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, and whoever you're
with, realize that life is preciuos. Love those you love, take
advantage of life, and lead it to the fullest. It can always be lost.
I'm so affected by this, and it's driving me mad, but the worst thing is, the dread just keeps building. The fear that he'll be lost from me is mounting and mounting and I'm going insane.
I love him so much.
