Or crash. Whatever you prefer saying.

Well, today (Monday, January 25th, 1210) I was in a car crash. It was about 7:50 AM. We had just dropped my brother off for school, and we where going to my school. So, we where going down the road. Suddenly, someone is turning right into is. My mom pushed down the brake, but not on time. Suddenly, next thing I know, I'm biting down on my tongue--hard-- and their's a big CRASH and our car and the other car collided. I saw stuff going up in the air, and I though it was glass. I was wrong. It was my mom's car. Her front end was just tore up. I breathed in some smoke, and then I felt shaky. I heard my mom cry out when we where about to hit. I looked around. We where right in the middle of the intersection. Cars where on either side of us. People came over and asked if we were alright (keep in mind, my mom is pregnant). We said yes. I felt shaky and it was so scary. So, a cop came and I just sat in the car. Most of the damage was on my side. The front end of my side, but some of it was on my mom's side. After about an half an hour, we got to home. We went and did all the insurance stuff, and then we decided to go the E.R. I was having chest pains, and mom wanted to make sure the baby was alright. So, I got taken in there and I had to change into hospital gown and rest in a bed. I waited for the doctor. She said I had a bruised sternum. I went and got X-ray's done to make sure. Everyone was OK. The person who hit us got barley any damage to his car, and he was alright, including his little girl. My mom and the baby where fine, and the only one who was hurt was me, and i got out with just a bruised sternum. It was crazy. I got to stay home from school, and what a shame. I was going to ask a boy out today. Oh well. You can't help car wrecks. We spent a good two hours, if not more in the hospital. We finally got to go, and we had lunch and came home. Let me tell you, car wrecks aren't fun. I looked at my mom right after, and she was crying and I had a few tears slip out of my eyes. The impact was so scary. It was crazy. And when we where almost home, we almost got into another car wreck. Stupid garbage truck. He barley got around us. I was a little traumatized. I didn't really want to go into another car, but we had to go to the E.R. I'm fine, just my sternum hurts. It was really scary, and this was my first car wreck.
My brother knows nothing. He thinks I'm at school, and mom's at work and it's just like any other day.


Whew! At least it's over!
