Drinking and Driving do not mix!!

             Don't drink and drive. I'll never forget that night. That sound and that crash. Life for me will never be the same again. How would you like to have no use of any of your limbs again? Because that's what it is like for me for that rest of my life. Quadriplegic at the age of sixteen. Well, life's tough, my boyfriend died frorm drunk driving and I am paralyzed. You try living with that for the rest of your life.
             That night was the worst night of my life. Yet out of the unpleasant night came the biggest lesson I have ever learnt. No, not "Don't drink and drive" because that one's for you. Life is short. Take it from a pro. Make use of it. Be all you can be and enjoy it because it doesn't last. After being so close to death I realized that life is special. You, me, everybody, we are all special and there will never be another you or me.
             That night. I blame no one, no one but myself. Everyone told me many times. I'd been forewarned and yet I did it, so I must accept the consequences. But, my boyfriend, he shouldn't have to die. It wasn't his fault. I am responsible for his death; I must live with that guilt forever. He told me not to drive. I can't remember much but I remember that I was drunk and confused. Someone was flirting with my boyfriend and I handled her good. I was real pissed so we left. I got in my car and drove. Then, a screech, a loud crash, and my head colliding with the windshield. I was outside on the ground, it was all red. I saw my boyfriend two feet away. I then cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
             I tried to sit up. I couldn't. I turned my head. All I heard sirens, voices, people. All I saw were lights, blood, cops. White. Red. Black
             "We're losing him" I tried struggling too but I felt I had no control of my body. My mom was screaming and crying beside me. Then a drop of my mom's tears fell on my face....
