Jenny's Story
Author Unknown
Jenny was so happy about the house they had found, for once she was living on the right side of town.
She unpackeds her things with such great ease, as she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.
How wonderful is was to have her own room, school wouls be starting and she'd have friends over soon.
There'd be sleep-overs and parties; she was so happy, it's just the was she wanted it to be.
On the first day of school, everything went great, she made new friends and even got a date.
She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be, because I just got a date with the star of the team."
To be kown in this school you had to have clout, and dating this guy would sure help her out.
There was only one problem stopping her fate, her parents said she was too young to date.
"Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth, they won't know the difference; what's there to lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friend that night, her parents frowned but said, "Alright."
Excited she got ready for the big event, but as she rushed around like she had no sense,
she began to feel guilty about all the lies, but what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?
Well the pizza was good, the party was great, but their moonlight ride would have to wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this time, but he kissed her and said he was just fine.
Then the room filled with smoke and Jeff took a puff, Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.
Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point, but only after he smoked on one more joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride, not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.
They finally made it to the point, and Jeff started to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all, and by a pass I don't mean football.
Perhaps her parents were right.....maybe I am to young, boy how could I ever ever be so dumb.
With all of her might she pushed Jeff away; Please take me home, I don't want to stay.
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas, in a matter of seconds they were going too fast.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger, Jenny knew that her life was in danger.
She begged and pleaded for Jeff to slow down, but he only got faster as they neared the town.
"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied. I really went out for a moonlight ride."
Then all of a sidden she saw a big flash, "Oh God, we're going to crash!"
She doesn't remember the impact, just that everything went black.
She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble, and heard, "Call an ambulance, these kids are in trouble!"
Voices she heard....a few words at best, but she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.
Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right, and if the people in the other car were alive.
She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad, "You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head, as they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said, "Jenny, we've done all we can do, but it looks as if we'll lose you too."
"But the people in the other car!" Jenny cried. "We're sorry Jenny, they also died."
Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done, I only wanted to have one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family I've make their lives dim, and I wish I could return their families to them."
"Tell Mom & Dad I'm sorry I lied, and that it's my fault so many have died.
Oh nurse won't you please tell them for me?" The nurse just stood there---she never agreed.
But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes and a few moments later Jenny too died.
A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best to bid that girl her last request?"
She looked at the man with eyes so sad, "Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."
This story is sad and unpleasant but true, so young people take heed, it could have been you.
