I'll format it later...
Saving a Life That's Already LostDriving along the road, a happy family of three went by. A father, a mother, and a sweet, perfect 17 year old daughter. They were talking about all of the girl’s successes, and all that she’s done to help others. Yet as they were driving along, on the radio, it began to play a warning signal, and it spoke, “Citizens of Thornton, Colorado, we announce that there is a speeding stolen car very close to Washington Street, we all trying our best to catch this driver and we suggest that it would be best to go home and be off of the streets, or to at least have great care driving.” And the message was over. The young woman began to worry, is it really best to be driving right now?
“Papá, maybe we should go back...” she worriedly said.
“Aie, mi niña, no te preocupas! We’ll be fine.” Her
father replied, stopping at a red light.
“Pero-” she began.
“Ezperanza!” Her mother snapped, the light turned green and the cars began to move forward.
“Si mama...” The girl replied, still worried.
“Ahora, what is there in the world in order to pay all the good you’ve done!? We are so proud of you my niña!” Her father gleefully said, stepping on the gas and driving out, slowly inching foward.
“Papá! It’s okay! I don’t need anything...I’m perfectly happy as I am now.” She lied, thinking about her good friend, Elijah. She heard sirens, “What?” she turned her head, “PAPÁ!” she yelled, interrupted by a collision.
A car was going super fast, running from the police, so wild and fierce, uncontrollable like the mighty and wild lion. The collision, hard and horrid, the shock completely fatal, taking the lives of the two in the front. The car shone the red lights, a red so horrible, so terrorizing, Death himself had come. The glass shattered into millions of tiny crystals, piercing the skin of any nearby victim, almost as if it was hot butter. The collision completely crushing one side of the car, seeming as if an elephant completely crushed it’s side, destroying everything in it’s way. The way the victim car was suddenly hit, it was a helpless fly, un-suspectful of the death that was about to come, the death brought by the sudden and painful, the fast as lightning fly-swatter. What would happen? Why?! Gasoline slowly began to leak, and a spark soon caught the leaking pitch black gasoline, dark, and empty, the two cars were soon engulfed by flames, burning all of the victims stuck inside of the wreck, thinking death would come and steal their souls. The dancing blood-red lights of muerte had come to swallow up the damned, and a spark soon ignited more of the gasoline, completely taking over the cars in a giant explosion, a cloud of doom and terribly fate rising, being born from the lives of the helpless. Why them? Why now?! Sirens were heard, rushing towards the site.

The girl felt horrible, she was rushed into the emergency room, along with her dead parents and the soon-to-be-dead driver, her beautiful luscious skin, once tan and pearl, held no more than red burns, trickling rivers of blood, and purple bruises the size of melons. Her perfect body, once lean, strong, and beautiful, was so fragile, any tiny touch could shatter her bones, bleeding skin, ripped and burnt clothes. Her wonderful happy face showed no smile, and instead replaced with black marks around both eyes, satin red blood trickling down the side of her mouth and nose, and dripping from her beautiful green eyes, clear diamonds of sparkling tears streaming down her cheeks.
Her heart was failing, the collision had affected her as well. My parents...What happened?! That was all she could think, until she began to realize, ‘I’m dying...’ Then that was when she remembered, a memory that had been haunting her for the months since it had passed, the day he left her:
The young woman and her best friend were walking alongside the sidewalk. It was a dark, gloomy day, the streets were unusually quiet. She had a grudge that something bad was looming over their un-knowing heads. Suddenly they both heard sirens.
“GET OUT OF THE WAY!” shouted her good friend, Elijah the English boy youth whom she loved more than the world itself. He pushed her and suddenly his eyes went blank, and his body screamed and erupted into agony, he began to fall forwards.
“E-Elijah?!” the girl exclaimed, catching her falling friend.
“At...least you’re...ok...” Elijah said, smiling a weak smile, his life fading from his body, he had gotten shot.
“No...Eli...you can’t leave me, not now! Please...you can’t-” she began, tears streaming down her face.
“Don’t worry...my....love...we will...be together...again...one....day” he said, closing his eyes, life fading from his strong faithful body, falling limp and losing all pain that had once taken a hold of his body.
“E-ELIJAH!” that was the last time she saw him smiling and breathing, the day she lost her heart.
The girl cried and cried, remembering her old friend, her heart beating faster and faster, the doctors constantly trying to keep her alive, shouting an occasional “Stay with us!” Yet she couldn’t stay, she didn’t want to, her broken heart would not allow it.
Her closed eyes soon saw a bright light reaching towards her, and above clouds unfolded, she saw Elijah. Her dear friend was standing right there, but then two other people came, one to the left, and the other to the right. Her parents. As soon as the girl saw, she burst into more tears, her heart beating faster, her life fading faster. She cried to them within her mind, she wanted to reach out to them, something was holding her back, but she wouldn’t let it. She began to reach out towards her love, her life. She moved her lips, trying to say something, and until finally the girl named Sonia Esperanza Mendez reached out to the white skies, her Elijah, her parents, and let six words escape, “I will be with you again...”
