Crash,Fire,Pain

    If I was in one of the boys’ shoes while watching Robert burn in the car, I would have been super scared. I would have been shocked and wouldn’t know what to do. As a friend, I would want to save him. Emotions I would feel would be nausea and I would be full of adrenaline. Going through my head would be thoughts like, “Oh no, it can’t be like this.” The next day all I would do was lay in my bed and be really sad. I probably wouldn’t come out of my room the whole week except to use the bathroom. I would want to know why this happened to my friend. With a future as bright as Robert’s, I would think that he doesn’t deserve to die like this. No one does. I hope I never have to deal with a situation as tough as the boys’ situation was.

My friends and I didn't make the best choice. We got a little overwhelmed by winning the game. They had way too many drinks, they probably shouldn't have been driving, or even had a drink at all. We were having fun laugh, listening to the radio, and my friend was driving. He lost control and swerved into the ditch. The cars began to go up in flames and I crawled out the back window. My friend, Andy, was right behind me. We were running away from the burning car and all of a sudden, we hear the most horrible scream in the world. It was Rob. He was stuck inside the car. I ran back as fast as I could. The door was jammed and his feet were through the windshield. How was I going to get him out? Â Andy finally pulled me away and as he did so, the car blew up! Â There was no way I could have helped but I felt as if it was all my fault. I didn't have anything, I should have been driving. It should have been me that died. I don't know what I'm going to do when I not going to be able to see and talk to him everyday. 

Crash, Fire, Pain

If I were ever like Andy, B.J., and Tyrone and had to watch one of my friends burn alive I think that I would be scarred alive. I think if I would ever see that happen to my friend I would feel so sick to my stomach because I would feel that I could have done something. I would also just want to puke and redo the whole night because it wouldn’t happen if we weren’t drinking and being idiots. If I were Andy I would also feel guilty because he was driving and he was the reason that they all lost their friend and got in the car wreck. Nothing would ever be the same either. If I ever lost a very good friend and had to watch him die my life would just never be the same and I probably wouldn’t ever live life like I did before the wreck

 

It all started because of one thing, the alcohol. That night of the basketball game my best friend lost his life and it’s all because of me… We all were drinking well except B.J. but Rob Tyrone and I, ya we were a little hyped up. I mean we just won the game and wanted to celebrate a little bit. The beer was in the trunk we were finishing them off so fast, I don’t know how I was driving but all of a sudden the car started swerving. It was like I wasn’t even in control. Bam! Just like that the world just froze we were so lucky to get out, well everyone but Rob. I wanted to save him so bad but they wouldn’t let me. Hearing his voice as he died I just felt terrible. It should have been me. I should have never drank that beer, this is all my fault. 

If this were me there is no way I would not try to save him. I would give my everything to try and get into that car to get him free. I could not live myself knowing I killed my best friend and high school basketball star. I would also feel sick to my stomach just know the pain he's going through in such a painful death. Me being the one at fault of the crash I would just have to save him there is no if and or buts about it. The next day if I couldn't have saved him I would feel so crappy I don't know how I could appoligize to his parents just knowing that I killed there boy that potential to play in the NCAA and even the NBA. Rob was someone very special in the community. There is just no one I could ever let that happen.
