| Me and My Sister |
As many of you know, I was
born a twin. Sharing a Birthday, Sharing a room, and sharing clothes most of
the times. Although growing up, I hated it. I hated having to share everything
with someone else. Well August 22nd 2010 at 11:41 pm, I was living a nightmare.
My twin sister Jessica died at the age of 20, from injuries sustained in a car
accident. We had just got off work at 11:00 pm, and one of our friends needed a
ride home from work. Of course we agreed to take her home; it wasn't that far
from work maybe 15 mins. As we are minutes from getting off the exit, we hear
tires squealing. We all turn and look, and next thing we know that car has hit
us, and hit us so hard, that we flipped twice, until we were in the center of
the interstate of i-40 East right past exit 380. I am fine, though I feel like
I am bleeding, due to the drink in my car spilling on me, I freaked out. The
car is the driver’s side (My Side) as I can feel the ground; all I hear is are
you okay. Hello Brittany, Answer me are you okay coming from my sister (although
most say I am crazy because she was killed instantly). I reply, and say that I am fine I just need
to find my cell phone. I find my cell phone, and crawl to the back of the car,
with my friend, telling my sister to come on. Thinking she was going to be
right behind me. We start beating on the window, and the truck driver who
stopped, thank god kicks in the back windshield. As we crawl out fast, I cut my
leg on a piece of glass. As me and my friend get out, they tell us to go stand
on the side of the interstate. So we do, I am waiting for my sister to get out,
as I hear people screaming that they need help. I attempt to run over there,
for them to tell me that I need to stay back. I then sit down and start crying,
the EMS driver tells me that they are going to take me to the hospital, that
everything is going to be okay. I tell them I can't leave without my purse and
my sister. He tells me that the cop will bring everything to me at the
hospital, I ask what about my sister. They tell me everything will be
okay. I then go with them crying so hard
I can't breathe. I call my dad, and explain to him that I just wrecked, of
course he can't understand me. So he begins to get frustrated, so I just hung
up. I shouldn't have done that but I was upset. Later at 1:30 A.M. the police officer
brings me my purse, and tells me about my sister. I break down in tears, I then
see my dad, and the officer begins to tell him. My heart shattered. Cars can be
fixed or replaced, but the person I shared my life with will not be replaced.
How I would love to have her back into my life to share my room, share my
clothes, and many more birthdays.
