Jenny was so happy about the house they had found. For once in her life
'twas on the right side of town. She unpacked her things with such great
ease. As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze. How wonderful it
was to have her own room. School would be starting; she'd have friends over
soon. There'd be sleep-overs, and parties; she was so happy It's just the way
she wanted her life to be. On the first day of school, everything went great.
She made new friends and even got a date! She thought, "I want to be
popular and I'm going to be, Because I just got a date with the star of the
team!" To be known in this school you had to have clout, And dating this guy
would sure help her out. There was only one problem stopping her fate. Her
parents had said she was too young to date. "Well I just won't tell them the
entire truth. They won't know the difference; what's there to lose?" Jenny
asked to stay with her friends that night. Her parents frowned but said, "All
right." Excited, she got ready for the big event But as she rushed around like
she had no sense, She began to feel guilty about all the lies, But what's a
pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride? Well the pizza was good, and the party
was great, But the moonlight ride would have to wait. For Dan was half drunk
by this time. But he kissed her and said that he was just fine. Then the room
filled with smoked and Dan took a puff. Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking
that stuff. Now Dan was ready to ride to the point But only after he'd smoked
another joint. They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride, Not thinking that
he was too drunk to drive. They finally made it to the point at last, And Dan
started trying to make a pass. A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all (and by
a pass, I don't mean playing football.) "Perhaps my parents were
right....maybe I am too young. Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb." With
all of her might, she pushed Dan away: "Please take me home, I don't want to
stay." Dan cranked up the engine and floored the gas. In a matter of seconds
they were going too fast. As Dan drove on in a fit of wild anger, Jenny knew
that her life was in danger. She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,
But he just got faster as they neared the town. "Just let me get home! I'll
confess that I lied. I really went out for a moonlight ride." Then all of a
sudden, she saw a big flash. "Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of impact. Just that everything all of a
sudden went black. She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,
And heard, "call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble! Voices she heard...a
few words at best. But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.
Then wondered to herself if Dan was all right, And if the people in the other
car was alive. She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad. "You've been in a
wreck and it looks pretty bad." These voices echoed inside her head, As they
gently told her that Dan was dead. They said "Jenny, we've done all we can
do. But it looks as if we'll lose you too." "But the people in the other car!?"
Jenny cried. "We're sorry, Jenny, they also died." Jenny prayed, "God, forgive
me for what I've done I only wanted to have just one night of fun." "Tell
those people's family, I've made their lives dim, And wish I could return their
families to them." "Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied, And that it's my fault so
many have died. Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?" The
nurse just stood there-she never agreed. But took Jenny's hand with tears in
her eyes. And a few moments later Jenny died. A man asked the nurse, "Why
didn't you do your best To bid that girl her one last request?" She looked at
the man with eyes so sad. "Because the people in the other car were her
mom and dad."
This story is sad and unpleasant but true, So young people take heed, it could have been you.
