you might understand
I almost died.
& i'm not just doing that to get your attention;
I actually did.
It started on wednesday night when Katie, Helen, Courtney, Sam & I decided it would be fun to go to parry sound for the night.
but did we tell our parents? nope. We made up a whole plan to go there. Stupid. So stupid.
It was fine, the night there was fine. But on our way back,
Katie was driving. I was sleeping in the back cause I was tired.
Crazy thing is at first I didn't have my seat belt on because I was lying down. But then I thought, I probably should put it on just in case, no matter how uncomfortable it will be. So I did.
I was listening to my ipod and then all I heard was Sam & Helen yell "KATIE". She said she went and turned her head towards helen for a second, then the left side of the van hit the guard rail.
then all I know is I open my eyes and my feet are up in the air, my ipod came unplugged, I heard the tires screeeching. I was just yelling OH MY GOD and the others were screaming.
we flew across two lanes...and the right side of the van hit wooden posts. then we stopped. We made sure everyone was okay, which we were. We got out and all hugged each other, thankfull that we're all okay. We're lucky we didn't hit any cars when we flrew across the highway. The car was a total wreck. I looked at the wooden posts, we knocked down like 5.
scary thing is, on the other side of the wooden posts, was this big ditch almost. more like a hill. full of rocks. I honestly don't know how we didn't go down there.
The more I think about it, the more unclear it becomes to me. HOW did we stop in time. We were RIGHT there. We're soo lucky, you don't even know.
I remember when I opened my eyes at that point when we were flying across the thoughts, 'please don't die', 'please stop', and 'please dont roll over' came through my head. We all actually thought we were going to die. I've never been put into that situation before.
Scariest thing of my life. Now that I think about it, that trip to parrysound wasnt even worth it. Yeh we're in trouble, yeh we all have a bit of a punishment. But you know what? We're alive.
And I'd rather have a summer of being checked up on 24/7 and without a car for a little bit, then not being able to have a summer at all.
We're all sore. I can hardly move my neck, i have bruises, my back hurts and so does my wrist. Courtney is bruised and has a hurt shoulder. Helen I think got the worst. She has cuts from the seatbelt on her side, and ribs are sore. She has bruises all over. I'm not sure about Sam or Katie, havn't talked to them yet. But really, we're so lucky.
At times like these, I totally believe in God. Something made us not go down that hill. Its unbelieveable that we stopped.
but THANK GOD that we did. Thank God.

yay! i love best friends!
(and that's you guys)
woo hoo best friends
ah I love you guys too. and courtney I was thinking the exact same thing
in a way its bad it happned with your friends
but in another way it was good, because it's something we can all now relate too.
if the outcome was much much worse, I would have been upset that it was with all of us.
but thankfully it wasnt.
and no matter what happens because of all this
you two are my best friends. and that'll never change.
it's weird, but in a way i'm sort of thankful that i had my best friends to go through this situation with me. like it would have been so terrible, if not only me but 4 best friends of mine all got seriously hurt together. but the fact that we're all okay and that i had you guys to hug and to comfort me afterwards was awesome. and i think it's also brought us so much closer together going through such a scary thing together, and hurting together and everything. i'm so thankful we're still here, because it means that obviously it wasn't our time, and we're meant to do something great in our lives. i love you guys more than anything, anything at all. thank you so much for always being there for me, even if i havn't always been there for you. you guys are the most amazing people i know and i'm so thankful i have amazing friends liekyou guys
