The Story
It’s a normal day. No one knows if they’re going to or not. No one knows. I’m in winter break now and it’s been great so far. Over here in Mexico you can see some things you wish you never saw or want to go through. I have seen so many things already. I’ll start from the beginning.
I just took a shower about to go hang out with my cousin and some friends. I got to where my cousin was, but he told me something that made stop in my tracks. He told me that one of my close friends had just crashed. See here’s the problem he had just gotten in a car crash about two months ago. He was in a comma for a week, he was about to die but somehow made it. When we made it to where he had fallen of his motorcycle I was stunned. The image of him laying there motionless was engraved in my brain. I thought to myself “He’s going to die.” I stood there as others rushed to help him. They took him away to the hospital. I didn’t see him for two weeks before he went outside again. I was just happy he didn’t die that day.
While I was looking at my friend laying there I didn’t know that there was a fight going on where I lived. There was drunk guy doing donuts in the basketball court. Well that is not acceptable where we live. So they started fighting. Well the guy wasn’t happy with that. He left and came back but this time with some of his friends and they had guns. They ended up taking one of my friends. When my cousin and I came back everyone was scared. That’s when they told us what had happened. The police caught the guys and everyone was relieved but if they ever came back it would not be good for them.
Another night we were going back home. There was something blocking the road. When we got closer we could see it was a car flipped over. There was two guys standing outside if the car. One seemed to be in a lot of pain the other one was mad. When I got out of the car I could see why the guy was in pain. From his wrist to his elbow I could clearly see his bone. I was really astonished. My brother took the guy to the hospital while me and some other guys stayed behind to take the car back to where we lived. All of this happened to me it all changed how I see things now.
