I remember it as if it was yesterday. It was the accident that happened in my neighbourhood about 10 months ago. I live in a small town, so it was big news, and everyone talked about it. But I saw it happen. I was in my room, staring out of window and thinking about my life the way it was at that moment. Was I really happy? Was this really how I wanted my life to turn out after I completely lost my way? And in that moment I saw two cars coming right at each other, and one of them crashing into a tree. I heard someone scream, and not the way the you scream out of frustration or the way you scream when you're mad at someone. It was a scream of someone who is terrified, hopeless, it made me feel miserable. I saw someone getting out of the car, a girl around 17 years old. She was crying. She opened the car doors and just lay her head on the people who were sitting there, I guess it were her parents. They were dead. All I could think about in that moment was that she was all alone now, no one to talk to her about problems, no one to keep her save. I felt a tear rolling down my cheek and felt the same way as when I lost my sister. She was 2 years older than me, and even though most brothers and sisters fight, she was my best friend. I knew everything about her and she knew everything about me, but than her boyfriend came along and she didn't listen to me as she used to do in situations like that. It was like she was hypnotised. Whenever our parents or me told her that he and her friends weren't good for her, she wouldn't listen, and it became her death. It is a totally different situation, but still, without my sister it felt like I had no one, just like she was all alone now. When I looked up again and looked out of my window I saw many neighbours standing around the accident, including police and two ambulances. Her parents were being carried away into the ambulances, and all the girl could do was cry. I've seen her a few times before when she was walking down the streets or doing groceries, but I never talked to her. She was beautiful though, but in a different kind of way. She was the kind of girl people fall in love with, and not only because she was pretty, she had this glow that was always around her, what made you look at her and in some way admire her. Like my sister.
After the accident I've seen her many times. Some nights she would run, the same route, always past the place where the accident happened, always along my house. She always ran so fast, she sprinted. Ever since the accident I wanted to talk to her, tell her that everything was going to be alright, but I couldn't find the courage and I didn't have the chance, until tonight. Tonight she also sprinted, but a few miles away from my house she suddenly slowed down and stood still on the bridge. From my window I could see she was shaking and crying again, as if she was thinking of what to do next. It looked like she wanted to jump, to finally let go of everything. I knew that if I didn't go to her now, I would never talk to her. I took my coat and walked over to where she was, and I held her so tight so she couldn't escape. When I grabbed her around her waist, I could feel that she was scared for a moment, but after a few seconds she relaxed. I turned her around and looked her right in the eyes. Her eyes were red from crying but her face was still so beautiful and she looked so fragile. I started talking to her, about how I saw her every night and how I saw the accident happen and how bad I felt for her, and also how I understood it and that I felt the same for so long, but that there is always a way to turn your life around and that it will be alright. I told her that everyone has a destiny and that she just had to find hers. I ended with saying that I can't control her choice or what she was going to do next, but she should make the best of it. I'm not even sure if she listened to everything I said, but it felt good to finally talk to her and it felt good to finally open up to someone about the way I felt. I hadn't done that in very long time.
