My Story (Personal Narrative)

Vivian Sahonero, 18
Wrack-Up
It was a Friday night. A day where teens go and party, have fun, and even hang out with friends. It was six of us in an SUV on our way to a friend’s house. We stopped on a red light on Balboa and Plummer. “GO Danny!” I yelled. As soon as Daniel began to accelerate that’s where my mind went blank. That’s the last thing I remember. I woke up in the hospital attached to all these wires asking myself what had happened to me. I was trying to remember everything that happened but it wasn’t coming to my mind. I had one flashback.
“Do you know your name?” the paramedics asked.
“My name is Vivian Sahonero. S-A-H-O-N-E-R-O” I said while busting into tears.
“Vivian, do you know what happened” one of the paramedics asked.
“No sir I don’t remember anything! I don’t know what happened! What happened? Where is my friend Cynthia!” I yelled.
“You guys got into a car accident” he said with a calm voice.
As soon as I heard those words come out of the paramedic’s mouth I started to cry even more. I don’t remember them putting me on a stretcher. I remember laying down on it with blood all over me. “Danny, why did you do this to me? Why Danny?” I whispered with tears running down my face.
All he did was cry and said “ Your body was hanging outside the door. You weren’t even moving. I looked back because I thought to myself that you would be the first one to scream. I thought you died or you were going to die. All I did was give you a kiss on the forehead and told someone to call the paramedics.”
So I was in the hospital laying there trying to think about what happed but all I knew was that we crashed. It was a horrible experience. I lost a lot of blood, and the doctors thought that I might have lost memory. I got a cat scan to see if everything was okay. I left the hospital within 6 hours. If you looked at my face you wouldn’t be able to recognize me. Out of all six people I was the worst one sitting in the back. Three of us got hurt and were sent to the hospital.
I thought this was just a dream but in the end it actually happened. I couldn’t believe and just by thinking about it made me cry. I was in shock.
All I thank is that one little start, that guardian angel of mine that was watching over me and saved my life.
