I entered the class room to the scratch of the teacher writing on the chalk board. 'Today's final exam!' Crap...you forgot to study again! This exam is 75% of your grade. Lauren..your screwed...
I turned on my radio as I slipped into my car this morning when the song I hate most came on. I pulled out of my drive way, urgent to turn the station when suddenly a big, bright red Burban plowed into the back of my car. My father was going to kill me. I hopped out of the car to check out the damage. When I stepped out onto the pavement I felt a sharp pain shoot up my leg.
'Ouch!' I yelled as I fell into a heap on the ground & blacked out. When I was awakened I was in a bright white room, & there was a doctor pointing this really bright light into my eyes. I finally got my vision focused when I noticed a large white cast wrapped around my left leg. I glanced around the room in a panic when I noticed my dad sitting in the corner on an overstuffed burgundy couch. He just sat there, staring at his shoes as if in some sort of trance.
'Dad..?'
No response. The doctor came back into the room then & told me I needed some rest. He then asked my father to leave, & that he could come back during visiting hours tomorrow. I watched my father slowly stand up & reluctantly leave the room, never once taking his eyes off the floor. I felt so ashamed of myself...I had let my father down. I told him I wouldn't allow myself to be distracted while driving. I told him I wouldn't I get into any accidents. I promised. & I let him down....
