“Oh my god, why me! Why does it have to be me”, I blamed when broken glass hit my face and woke up in a wrecked car. The car was not the same that I had earlier that night, it looked totally different, and everything was a mess. I couldn’t let myself out the car, because the door was stuck. I felt disoriented my body was shaking, tears washed my face, I can’t think straight, I made the biggest mistake of my life.

Then after five minutes I start heading south on the Sheridan road to drop the girls at their house.

However, I end up in a hospital with regret and misery. For a while, I felt lucky to get away without any broken bones and scars, but it left me with bad experience. I often have nightmares at night about the accident, it wakes me up in the middle of night thinking how intolerable it was.
