How We Got HereA Chapter by Bambi~How We Got Here I
looked at the scene, at the mess, that pressed on around me. Everything was
happening fast, too fast. It was loud, too loud. The sirens, the yelling, the
crying, the confusion all blended into one unpleasant sound that marked a
disaster. It was like the way a finish line marked a victory, but this was no
victory. This was an accident that had been building up since day one; it was a
volcano that had finally erupted. This
was one of those catastrophes that you knew was going to happen. You know the
kind where you can just feel it in your stomach, the kind that festers there
and you can’t get rid of it no matter how hard you try. I pretended it wasn’t
there, that it didn’t exist, because I didn’t believe it myself. I wish I had
listened or told someone else, but I simply felt I was being ridiculous. That
now seems like a distant regret, even if it was only earlier today. In
every direction I looked there seemed to be an ambulance or a police car. The
whole area could be described as devastation. Blood here and there, on me, on
my friends as well. I wish I could undo the things that lead to this, the
mistakes. There were a million things I longed to edit that would change how
this would have played out. I obsessed over this as they looked me over. They
loaded me into an ambulance and hurried in the direction of the hospital. The
ambulance guy was nice and tried his best to comfort me when I became
hysterical. He would calm me down for a minute but soon me worries would flood
back and it became a tiring process for the both of us. They
ended up giving me something to calm me down once I was in my hospital room and
I found myself to be tired. I knew I should be worried but I just felt relaxed
and struggled not to fall asleep. © 2014 Bambi~ |
