Part three: Tonya's POV

by Ashley Washer   Jan 11, 2005


I’m driving us home,
We had so much fun,
‘Then why does tonight,
Have to be done?’

I can’t keep my eyes off of her,
‘Tonight was your night,
I hope you had a good time,
I know I did; just having you in my sight.’

The lights green,
I start to go,
I look at Jamie,
‘I know she hates it,
When I go slow.’

Were talking about tonight,
She had fun,
It’s so great,
And I know what she says isn’t fake.

I turn back to the road,
There’s a car,
I can’t seem to move,
It’s like I’m made of tar.

4.….

‘It’s gonna hit us’….

3.…

I look at Jamie……

2.…

‘She looks so scared‘…..

1.….

BAM!

I look around,
I can’t find Jamie,
‘God where is she?
Someone please save me!’

I start to stand up,
But the paramedic tells me to sit back down,
I look at him,
And just frown.

“Where’s my friend?” ,
He looks at me, and shakes his head,
“I’m so sorry Miss,
But she’s dead.”

I run over to my friend,
I start to cry,
I have so many questions,
But my biggest one is,
“Why, did she have to die?”

I got up and walked over to the other car,
But the other girl was already on her way to the hospital,
There was nothing more I could do for my friend,
She was gone, and that was the end.

I went up to one of the cops; “what happened?“,
He told me; “Your friend is dead,
because the other girl decided to go driving,
After she was done drinking.”

The paramedics took me to the hospital,
And the doctors bandaged me up,
Finally my parents came to get me,
But I wanted to wait, so I could tell Jamie’s parents,
What they needed to know.

When they got there,
I didn’t know what to do,
I looked at them and started to cry,
Then I told them the awful news.

They hugged me,
But I couldn’t stop crying,
‘I failed you Jamie,
And now it feels like I’m dying.’

A few days later,
It’s Jamie’s funeral,
There lowering her casket,
‘You will always be in my heart,’
I put a rose on the top,
‘Nothing…. will ever tear us apart.’
