School Bus
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The car swerved around the sharp mend giving a narrow miss to the on-coming bus. Shaking and relieved I missed the bus. I tell myself to breath, that everything is okay.. Still I needed to pull over for a second.
I turn my radio up and back on the road I go. Music blaring, Windows down, trying to hurry home. I see a gas station up ahead. Thank God, I really need to get gas. As I pull into the gas station I notice that it seems exstreamly crowded. I wonder what is going on? I pay for the gas with my credit card through the pump. The man across the way pumping his gas too says"I hope you are not going south bound".
I answer "no sir,just came from that way". I asked "why"? The man said that there was an accident involving a school bus. He was not a hundred percent sure but said that there were fatalities...
I felt myself completely freeze. Did I do this? Could it be the same bus I swerved to miss? Should I tell some one?..
I slowly put the pump back and start walking twords the crowd at the gas station. Made my way through to see the News and a picture of the same bus I swerved to miss..
I run back to my car unsure of what to do, and just drive twords home. I wonder why I didn't hear the crash? Was my radio that loud?
"Ring,Ring moms calling". Hello mom, how's everything? "What?
Where? Oh my god, I'm coming mom!"
My little sisters bus crashed and my sister didn't make it. Did I kill my sister?
I flipped the car around and went to the police station. I told them what happened and how sorry I was.. The officer said " boy you didn't kill anyone, it was a drunk driver and the crash was just down the street".
In shock I said I have to go to my mama's now. thank you officer,thank you.
