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 known in this school you had to
have a clout,
And dating this guy would sure help
her out.
There was only one problem stopping
her fate.
Her parents had 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 friends
that night.
Her parents frowned but said, "All
right."
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, and the
party was great,
But the moonlight ride would have to
wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this
time.
But he kissed her and said that 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'd smoked another
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 at
last,
And Jeff started trying to make a
pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at
all (and by a pass, I dont
mean
playing football).
"Perhaps my parents were
right....maybe I am too young.
Boy, how could I ever, ever be so
dumb."
With all of her might, she pushed
Jeff away:
"Please take me home, I dont 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 him to
slow down,
But he just 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 sudden, she saw a big
flash.
"Oh God, Please help us! We're going
to crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of
impact.
Just that everything all of a sudden
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 just one night
of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've
made their lives dim,
And wish I could return their
families to them."
"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that it's my fault so many have
died.
Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them
that 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 died.
A man asked the nurse,
"Why didn't
you do your best
To bid that girl her one last
request?"
She looked at the man with eyes oh 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.
Please, please don't drink and drive...
