Death Defying

Me and BM went to the gas station to pick up some beer and snacks for the movie. We were getting ready to make a turn when there was a bad car accident. Apparently one car was trying to beat the light and the other car was turning into the same road. We were on the other side of it. When we looked back, we saw both cars facing the same way and smoking and a body in the middle of the road. We kept going and pulled around to see if the person was ok. All you could see were people running to the person. BM just started freaking out saying that it could've been us. We couldn't see much of the person because we could never see the other half. I didn't want BM to see it if it is what I was thinking it could've been. When the police got there and the crowd moved away, you could see that the person is still there. From the looks of it, they could move their legs but nothing else so we have no clue what will happen. If we decided to take that road back home then it definitely could've been us. One of the cars was a jeep so I'm guessing when the car hit the jeep, the person flew out the car and landed a few feet away.

BM is in the bathroom and not talking to anybody. She told me she's never seen somebody that close to death in front of her. She's calming down a bit more so I think she's ready to go back with us.

No doubt...its a scary thing....

She needs to breathe. The adrenaline when somethign happens so fast like that just overpowers us.

I've seen 1 too many people die right in front of me. One is enough, I'll say. Traumatic...nevermind if you KNOW them.

:) take care of her.

We were turning one way and the other car was turning the other way so it happened in the direction we were coming from.

BM is cool now.
