The Party(Sad)

Jenny was so happy about the

house they had found. For once in

her life 'twas on the right side

of town. She unpacked her things

with such great ease. As she

watched her new curtains blow in

the breeze. How wonderful it was

to have her own room. School

would be starting; she'd have

friends over soon. There'd be

sleep-overs, and parties; she was

so happy It's just the way she

wanted her life to be. On the

first day of school, everything

went great. She made new friends

and even got a date! She thought,

I want to be popular and I'm

going to be, Because I just got a

date with the star of the team!

To be known in this school you

had to have clout, And dating

this guy would sure help her out.

There was only one problem

stopping her fate. Her parents

had said she was too young to

date. Well I just won't tell them

the entire truth. They won't know

the difference; what's there to

lose? Jenny asked to stay with

her friends that night. Her

parents frowned but said, All

right. Excited, she got ready for

the big event But as she rushed

around like she had no sense, She

began to feel guilty about all

the lies, But what's a pizza, a

party, and a moonlight ride? Well

the pizza was good, and the party

was great, But the moonlight ride

would have to wait. For Dan was

half drunk by this time. But he

kissed her and said that he was

just fine. Then the room filled

with smoked and Dan took a puff.

Jenny couldn't believe he was

smoking that stuff. Now Dan was

ready to ride to the point But

only after he'd smoked another

joint. They jumped in the car for

the moonlight ride, Not thinking

that he was too drunk to drive.

They finally made it to the point

at last, And Dan started trying

to make a pass. A pass is not

what Jenny wanted at all (and by

a pass, I don't mean playing

football.) Perhaps my parents

were right....maybe I am too

young. Boy, how could I ever,

ever be so dumb. With all of her

might, she pushed Dan away:

Please take me home, I don't want

to stay. Dan cranked up the

engine and floored the gas. In a

matter of seconds they were going

too fast. As Dan drove on in a

fit of wild anger, Jenny knew

that her life was in danger. She

begged and pleaded for him to

slow down, But he just got faster

as they neared the town. Just let

me get home! I'll confess that I

lied. I really went out for a

moonlight ride. Then all of a

sudden, she saw a big flash. Oh

God, Please help us! We're going

to crash! She doesn't remember

the force of impact. Just that

everything all of a sudden went

black. She felt someone remove

her from the twisted rubble, And

heard, call an ambulance! These

kids are in trouble! Voices she

heard...a few words at best. But

she knew there were two cars

involved in the wreck. Then

wondered to herself if Dan was

all right, And if the people in

the other car was alive. She

awoke in the hospital to faces so

sad. You've been in a wreck and

it looks pretty bad. These voices

echoed inside her head, As they

gently told her that Dan was

dead. They said Jenny, we've done

all we can do. But it looks as if

we'll lose you too. But the

people in the other car!? Jenny

cried. We're sorry, Jenny, they

also died. Jenny prayed, God,

forgive me for what I've done I

only wanted to have just one

night of fun. Tell those people's

family, I've made their lives

dim, And wish I could return

their families to them. Tell Mom

and Dad I'm sorry I lied, And

that it's my fault so many have

died. Oh, nurse, won't you please

tell them that for me? The nurse

just stood there-she never

agreed. But took Jenny's hand

with tears in her eyes. And a few

moments later Jenny died. A man

asked the nurse, Why didn't you

do your best To bid that girl her

one last request? She looked at

the man with eyes so sad. Because

the people in the other car were

her mom and dad. This story is

sad and unpleasant but true, So

young people take heed, it could

have been you.
