It?s now been a year since that horrific day. The day that my negligence and irresponsibility ended the life of the one whom I loved the most, Anna. It was the night after our final HSC exam, and we were on our way back from a party. It feels like it was just yesterday, the sound of her voice pleading me to slow down. I can never forgive myself for what happened and it will haunt me for the rest of my life. If only I had listened to her, all of this wouldn?t have happened, and my girl friend would still be alive today. All I can do now is embark on a journey of retrospection, regretting and reliving the worst day of my life: ?
*Flashback*
?Ben, slow down, I think you are going way too fast!? said Anna.
?Calm down Anna! It?s not like I?m going to crash or something!? I replied.
Anna tried to reiterate, ?Ben, please slow down! It?s just that you?ve had a few drinks at the party too. I?m getting a bit scared. This is how accidents happen!?
?Don?t worry Anna! I?m
a highly skilled driver. I have total control. When you?re in the car with me, you are as safe as safe can be!?
?BEN, WATCH OUT!!! ?
*End of Flashback*
As I turned my attention back to the road, our car crashed head-on with a massive truck! I was drunk and didn?t realise how fast I was going. I was just an eighteen year old boy who thought he had control over absolutely everything. In the end, I was wrong; she wasn?t safe in the car with me!
A few hours after the crash, I remember waking up in the hospital with bruises and wounds all over. Despite being in pain, I was able to shove of the nurses who were keeping a watch on me, because there was only one thing on my mind and that was Anna. I rushed myself out to of my ward to find Anna?s parents sitting outside a room with the door closed. Soon I learnt that Anna was in a very critical condition and the doctors were trying everything to keep her alive. ?I?m really sorry! I?? I said crying and struggling to speak. Her mother came over?
