The Party(Sad)
16 years, 6 months & 28 days ago
30th May 2008 14:08 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.
