Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.....
Once in her life 'twas on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things with such great ease, as she
watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.
How wonderful it was to have her own room. School
would be starting, she'd have friends over soon. There
would be sleep-overs, and parties; she was so happy.
It's just the way she wanted her life to be.
On the first day of school, everything went great. She
made new friends and even got a date! She thought,
"I want to be popular and I'm going to be, because I
just got a date with the star of the team!"
To be known in this school you had to have clout, and
dating this guy would surely help out. There was only
one problem stopping her fate, her parents had said she
was too young to date.
"Well, I just wan't tell them the entire truth. They won't
know the difference; what's there to loose?" ..... Jenny
asked to stay with her friends that night. Her parents
frowned but said, "All right.."
Well the pizza was good, and the party was great, but
the moonlight ride would have to wait...For Jeff was half
drunk by this time..But he kissed her and said that he was
just fine.Then the room filled with smoke and Jeff took a putt,
Jenny could't believe he was smoking that stuff..Now
Jeff was ready to ride to the point but only after he'd
smoked another joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride, not think-
ing that he was too drunk to drive. They finally made it
to the point at last and Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all (and by a pass, I
don't mean playing football). "Perhaps my parents were
right....maybe I am too young. Boy, how could I ever, be
so dumb."
With all of her might, she pushed Jeff away; "Please take
me home, I don't want to stay." Jeff cranked up the car
and floored the gas, in a matter of seconds they were going to fast.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger, Jenny knew that
her life was in danger. She begged and pleaded for him
to slow down, but he just got faster as they neared the
town.
"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied, I really went out for a moonlight ride." then all of a sudden, she
saw a big flash; "Oh God, please help us! We're going to
crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of impact, just that
everything all of a sudden went black...She felt someone
remove her from the twisted rubble .And heard, "Call an
ambulance! These kids are in trouble"
Voices she heard...A few words at best. But she knew there were two cars involved the wreck.. Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right, and if the people in the
other car were alive..
She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad. "You've been
in a wreck and it looks pretty bad." These voices echoed inside her head, as they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do but it looks
as if we'll lose you too." "But the people in the other car
Jenny cried." "We're sorry, Jenny, they also died.
Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what, I've done I only
wanted to have just one night of fun." "Tell those peoples
family, I've made their lives dim, and wish I could return
their families to them."
"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied, and that it's my fault
so many have died. Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them
that for me?" The nurse just stood there ~ she never agreed.
But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes and a few
moments later Jenny died. A man asked the nurse,"why
didn't you do your best to bid that girl her one last request?"
She looked at the man with eyes oh so sad. "Because the
people in the other car were her mom and dad."
This story is sad and unpleasant but TRUE. So young
people take heed, it could have been you.....
