Road trip
If only we would have left earlier. But no Brandi had to do one more lap in the pool. We were leaving the campus for the weekend going to town.
All bags packed and we were ready to go. My idea of the perfect weekend was going to be try on shoes and get my nails done. Us girls had been planning this for a while. It was the first break in the fall.
The idea was to go around the larger exists and use the smaller high ways . It seemed pretty simple. Brandi's car had just been to the shop for new tires. There wasn't any reason to think the vehicle had issues
So as we were going around and the winding curves and over the step hills. Suddenly we here a loud pop.
What was that? I asked not sure Brandi replies The pale face and stern look tells me she is not comfortable. At once the accelerater has a mind of its own and we are doing seventy five miles per hour.
Brandi is screaming we have to just bail open the doors and jump. Before we get the chance we are up behind another vehicle.
As we start honking to alert the driver he only gets angry with us. Starts swerving in front of us won't let us pass.
The only option we have now is to keep the car on the road away from other cars. The car in front of us has moved to one lane only to see another car coming our way.
Now we don't have any choice we can't hit the jerk in front of us we can't pass and hit the car towards us. So we look each other in the eye and say ok. Our choice is to go off the side of the road into the hill.
It was a split second decision that cost us our lives. It all could have been so different.
The pop. Was a noise unfamiliar to our driving experience. Turns out it was the line with the fluid to keep the accelerater in tune with the electric carberatoer. Brandi's face was pure fear as she realized the gas was pushing us to eighty miles per hour.
She started to make guteral noises. Like she was trying to scream but was to scared. She didn't know what to do.
I had my hand on the door knob my mind was to jump anything would be better than crashing into to hillside. That stupid guy in front of us was just going to have to watch us crash.
I wanted to leave my body right then and there. But nothing would happen. I knew crashing was going to hurt us bad I just wasn't sure how.
It was now Brandi's time to acknowledge that she was going to wreck us on purpose and what ever happened she was truly sorry. She licked her lips and rubbed her hands through her hair then jerked the steering wheel to the right. The car bounced off the side of the road flung itself to the right. Then smacked right into the side of a cliff. The weight of the vehicle pressed against us. We were trapped in the wrecked metal. The car seats shoved us into the dash. The dash was forced into the front hood. We were torn to shreds. Our bodies were kept me intact we didn't loose arms legs or our heads. But we were both dead at the scene. Both of us unconscious not able to move we died if our injuries. Bleed internally. The only thing I remember after or during the crash was looking at Brandi and thinking we had a good run didn't we. Good times alot of fun if I was going to have to die I'd rather do it with Brandi.
It came out in the news that her car had an immensions problems. The car company was looking into it.
The jerk in the vehicle in front of us tried to say our negligence caused the accident. When we flew off the hill we clipped his car and caused him to spin around. He landed on the side of the road able to get out of his car and walk to ours. The other vehicle that was coming towards us just sped past easily. She came back to help . The lady had her two kids in the car. She was so hurt by our decision. Because we saved her life but took our own. She was grateful but guilty. As far as wrecks go it was pretty cut and dry.
