Heavy Hearted Sunday

DISCLAIMER: I do not know all of the details of this incident, all I know is what I was able to piece together from what I saw, heard, and was told.

There was a pillow and an apple on the side of the road, there was a pair of boots many yards down in the middle of the street, and there was a large black car pulled up on the grass. There was the driver of the car pacing in shock, there was a female witness freaking out over what had occurred just moments before, and there were multiple men attempting to save the bloodied and bruised girl laying in the curb.

"She was standing on the edge of the road and she stared right into my eyes before walking out in front of my car." This is what the driver of the car that hit the girl told my dad about the incident.

Paramedics soon arrived at the scene and took over in keeping this teenage girl alive. After making sure the girl was breathing and putting a neck brace on her, the men lifted her onto a gurney, set her into an ambulance, and drove off to the hospital.

Once the girl was taken away from the scene, officers started to question any witnesses. This is when my family decided to walk back to our home because none of us had actually seen the incident take place.

---------------

It is hard to understand why things like this happen. We know nothing about this girl; maybe she has an illness and was not able to control her actions, maybe she had a hard life that she wanted to get away from, maybe she was just trying to cross the street but did not realize how close the car was. Life is hard, sometimes things do not go the way they should, but you should never give up. Make the hardships you go through make you stronger, do not let them break you. Remember that you always have friends and family that you can talk to and that with time, whatever you may be going through will get better.

--------------

this is a real event that happened just outside of my house. We saw a WLWT van pass by so there should be a 100% real story up on their website. Their story has not been published by the time I published this so I will just link you to their website: www.wlwt.com/news

My Life with the Walter Boys

I read this like three weeks ago... let's roll.

Alright so this book has two versions: The one written by the author when she was 15/16 and the one rewritten by the author which was edited by professional people and then published. Now of course, the 15/16 year old version is going to be worse than the published version, but it was free, so I read it anyways. The title of this story is My Life with the Walter Boys and I read it on *insert drumroll*

WATTPAD!!!!!! (wattpad.com)


Wattpad is my life it is so amazing asdfghjkl, but MOVING ON... This story is about a girl named Jackie Howard who's whole family died in a car crash and so, as her mom's last dying wish, she was forced to live with her mom's childhood best friend, who just so happened to have 12 sons. I read this in a day because I had started reading the sequel before I knew that it was even a sequel and it was really interesting, but I didn't understand parts of it so I had to read the first book first. Was that confusing? It felt confusing.

As soon as Jackie moved into her new home, she knew it would end up being a crazy adventure because, I mean, come on, how would living with 12 guys not be a crazy adventure? Some of the guys were absolute jerks, others were complete sweethearts. Some were extreme pranksters, others were super artistic. Some were obsessed with fitness, others lived half of their lives at the library. But two of the boys had a special interest in our main girl, Jackie. Is it weird to date someone that you live under the same roof with? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is, but keep in mind that this was written by a teenager and yeah, we've got some pretty strange minds. So obviously the fact that there are two brothers with in interest in Jackie, it's going to cause some drama, and obviously because it's a teenage love story, She's going to end up with one of them. Which one, you ask? Well that would spoil the ending, DUH!
