Tire Tracks

It was September 25, 1982 and it was an cold day. I was looking outside from the window waiting for customers to serve in the drive-thru. It was raining pretty hard out there. 'No wonder we have no business...who in the right mind would drive in this weather?'

"Hey Jess it's time to go home."

I turned around to see my co-worker Kate.

I asked" Is it 7 already?"

She nodded her head and said" Yup, the night shift is coming over now." 'Thank goodness.' I tooked off my headset and I walked out of the back room to get my stuff.

"Hey wait up Jess!"

Kate ran towards me and then she started walking with me to get our stuff. I got my stuff and she asked" Hey do you want a ride?"

I shook my head and I said" It's ok I got my moped."

Kate asked" Are you sure it will be ok to drive in this weather?"

I nodded and said" Anyways my apartment is near here, It will take me like 10 minutes to get there."

She sighed and said" Alright but you better be safe while driving!"

I nod and walked out of the restaurant. I knew I was going to get soaken wet. But when I got outside I check if it was still raining and the rain stop.

'Oh thank goodness, at least now it is safer to drive.'

I walked over to my moped and there was like a puddle of water on the seat. 'Great...'

I grabbed two sides of the moped and put it to the side so the water would get off the moped. After couple minutes of waiting I put the moped back up where it was and got on the moped. I turned it on and drive backwards to get out of the parking lot. I was now on the road driving to my apartment. It was still really cloudy so it was kind of hard to see. But I've been through worst so it didn't bother me that much. While I was driving I looked in my right side mirror and saw a red Toyata truck behind me.

'Oh god...why a truck just why I guess it's merfy's law.'

The truck was dangerously close to my moped.

'What the deal man?!'

It was bumer to bumper and I was getting alittle worried. I need to get out of this person's way before he runs me over or something.

The truck was going to the right of the road to change lanes so I went to the left to get out of his way. It was going as plan I wasnt worried anymore.

But from no where.

"CRASH"

I felt an wave of pain from my side. I felt like I was hit or something. I didn't know what was happening. It happen to fast, I must've fell off my moped because I didn't feel the weight of the moped anymore. All I could feel was pain in my side and a soft, hard suface. I opened my eyes and saw a tire coming my direction. I stayed still in place. I felt something over my head quickly. After that I must've snapped back to reality. Omg I'm getting ran over by that truck! I need to get out of the way now! I then crawled quickly out of under the truck before the second tire hit my face. I breathed in and out.

'What happen?! Why was I under the truck?! Am I ok?! Why do I feel so dizzy?'

I touched the side of my head and I felt an liquid. I looked and it was a red colored liquid. I don't know why but when I saw that it was total darkness... I stopped breathing, stop thinking, it was just darkness. I felt nothing anymore, no memories from childhood, nothing...

'Is this the end for me?'

I woked up and I saw bright lights over my head.

'Where....where am I?'

I looked around and saw a girl looking down at me. I slowly tried to get up. But she stopped me. "Please don't get up madam."

I asked" What happen to me?" She said" You are at the hostipal right now and you were in a car crash." 'Omg I thought I was dreaming but it was real...'

I asked" Do I have any bad injuries?" She shooked her head and laughed" Only some Tire tracks on your head." I giggled with her and she said" You will be able to go home this afternoon."

I nodded and she lefted the room. Where I sat in the hostipal bed trying to think what happen.

If it didn't rain I would've died...if the truck went alittle more faster I would've died. But no im still alive. No injuries, alive and well. Maybe this is my second chance in life...maybe there is a bigger reason why I lived with no injuries. But the question is...what is the reason?
