This was the picture on the front of today's newspapers. The headline was' Three teenagers dead, two critically injured'.When my instructor told my mum and I about it, we just thought what a waste of lives. And why do all these kids drive so recklessly?Maybe in the back of my mind i was thinking,'What if it was someone i knew?' I mean it was in a suburb pretty close from school and they were all 17.
After my driving lesson I got home and saw a text I got from sarah kerr. It said,' Did you hear?' The first thing that came to my mind was the accident. I was thinking to myself,'No,no,no. Please be something else. But if it was the accident,who was involved?'
I gave her call and she asked again,'Did you hear?'
'About the accident? where 3 died and 2 are in hospital?'
'Yes. It's James, Rosie, Brayden. Adam's in hospital.The other wasn't from school.'
I started shaking. I didn't know what to think or say. I just couldn't believe it.
I had classes with James and Rosie last year. I remember once when Brayden put his arm around me and said,' Hey babe,whats up?' Rosie was such a smart girl she got like A's in all her subjects. Brayden had one of the lead roles in this year's musical ' Fiddler on the Roof'. It's such a waste. They were such talented people and they had such bright futures ahead of them.
I went for the service in school a while ago. When Neesha and I got there, people were sobbing. My heart goes out to their whole group because they were such a tight clique. And I remember how Ashleigh Yates was talking about her birthday in 2 weeks. That Brayden has to be there but now he's gone. And when I hugged her,she was crying and was like,' It's not fair'. I didn't know what to say aye.
I'm still in disbelief. You just don't expect it to be people you know. My gosh and there were reporters and photographers at our school too. But our head of year said they can't publish the photos anyway.
Oh my god and poor Adam. He's lost 2 of his bestfriends and his girlfriend.He hasn't found out yet and he's like so out of it. I can't imagine how he's going to take the news. He and Rosie have been going out for like a year and they never seemed to have any problems.
All we can do is pray for their souls and families.
Rest in peace Rosie, James and Brayden.
