The Wreck
Waking up in a hospital bed is not what anyone wants to do. Still feeling the drugs that the doctor gave me the night before, I was drowsy. Friends, family, and a nurse were the only people in my direct vision. My hearing still sounded muffled for the first ten minutes or so. Everyone kept asking me "How do you feel?" My arm was in a hot sweaty cast that was strapped to me in three places and was not very comfortable. One strap was to my stomach, the other two were strapped to my shoulder and chest. Glass was in my face and dried blood was all over me and my clothes. One big piece of glass still remained stuck in the bridge of my noise. The doctors were wondering how my neck did not snap and how I was still alive. The previous day a friend from the new school I just recently enrolled in wanted me to go to his house after school. This was supposed to be just like every other day but it did not end up like that. What no one told me about this guy was that he loved trouble. We went out that afternoon doing what any normal teenage boy would do. Bo (my friend) liked to show off a lot just to get attention, especially from girls.

It took four hours of surgery and I woke up the next day with a cast strapped to my arm. The whole time I was asking for pain medicine and finally received it from the doctor. It was starting to rain just a little bit, as we left Bo's house which made wet conditions on the roads. The EMT asked me if they could cut my wet jacket off me so I would not be in more pain, but I figured since pain has already settled in they could just take it off. The wreck sounded so loud that the neighbors heard the echo for a mile away. The glove box was jammed shut and the front bumper was made of metal and the truck did not have a back bumper. Before I knew it, he was pushing the old beaten down truck to its limit. Bo turned out to be a very destructive person and finding this out was not too hard. There was no sense of walking home; it was too dangerous and too far away. The seat belts and windows did not work. By the time my parents heard of the accident it took them twenty minutes to get to the hospital and the drugs were finally kicking into my system. told us we had to go because it was time for her to eat. We finally arrived at the hospital, but it seemed like it took forever. He slammed on his breaks and cut the wheel to the left and the right, but we kept going straight. A sharp pain was rushing through my right arm and I was in severe pain.
