the day we almost died.

note to everyone who reads this. it's over dramatic, but i have to be dramatic somewhere:
it started when a group of us got hungry at 1am last night. and so we decided to drive out to the pantry in la in jack h and chris' moms cars. bad idea, just so everyone knows. soo we ate (some bacon, btw). and then, we split up to go home: jamie, danielle & jack h in one car. jack g, fern (chris) & cece in another. i don't know the story of jack h's car, but you can ask him about that. for now, we will have to focus on the story of chris' mom's car that i drove because chris and jack were tired. chris in the passenger's seat and jack right behind him in the back. we tried to get to the 110 and i missed the on ramp for north and we ended up going south. so we're in the right lane, going about 65, waiting for the next off ramp. and, out of the corner of my eye, i see a back car getting reallyy close on my left. and it didn't stop. it kept driving full speed toward us until it hit the front left of the car and drove us head on into the wall on the side of the freeway. then, i closed my eyes and i just remember waiting for the crashing to stop because it didn't stop for a little while. it finally stopped and i opened my eyes, and we were upright. i remember freaking out seeing the other cars on the freeway driving toward us. i was waiting for more crashing to start again, but thank goodness they all stopped in time. i remember jack asking if we were all okay, and it wasn't until he did that that it really occurred to me that there was a good chance someone was not okay. but everyone said yes. and then there was just a lot of talking to police and waiting on the freeway. some witnesses said we got air, flipped and then rolled after we hit the wall. basically, the other car apparently had a tire blow out and the driver didn't see our car and was just trying to get over to the side of the road. however, the witnesses also saw some car drive up to the one that hit us and take alcohol out of the car and drive away before the police got there. the police said the driver had been drinking, but wasn't drunk. i could probably write like a thirty page novel about this, but i want at least one reader to get to the end, so i'll stop soon. eventually we got driven off the freeway, chris' mom picked us up, and we waited 2 hours for AAA (tight...not). injuries include a cut on chris' forehead, a bump on jack's knee, and a burn on my neck. HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN? thank you, God.
i love chris and jack like crazy. thank you two for taking care of me.


okay, i'm done with writing now. here are pictures:
