CRASH
Hmm... look familiar? Yea, that's my van. That's what happens when stupid Polocks make illegal lane changes while blowing through a light that's .01 seconds away from being red.
It's totally illegal to change lanes in an intersection. I thought he was going to stop. I also thought he was turning around the other car to go right - same direction I was, onto a multi-lane street, so it was fine. However, his plan was to go straight, but switch over the right lane; unfortunately, at the same time I was turning left in order to get out of the middle of the intersection before the light turned red.
So it was totally Zenon Stadniek's fault, but since I'm 17, of course it just looked like I was being stupid. No fault was determined - that's up to the insurance companies. Think about it! This guy is 47 and was driving with his mother in the car. I'm 17 and had my friend in the car. (By the way, the cops thought her ID was fake - she looks completely different from when they took the picture - and that she gave them a fake phone number - her number ends in 8888.) I wonder who's going to take the blame?
I wanted to storm up to Zenon and say "What the fuck?! a. thanks for ruining my birthday, b. you're an idiot, and c. if you're going to complain about being worried about your mother's wellbeing, DON'T DRIVE SO THAT YOU GET IN A FUCKING CRASH!!!"
So now... I don't even know what to think. I feel completely void of emotion today. I feel like the worst daughter ever; I've had the worst birthday ever; and I doubt if I'll ever get the Tercel like I was going to get this month. I want to just sleep for days.
I just feel like a complete idiot for letting myself get in a collision. Now my parents have to pay thousands of dollars to fix the car, on top of the $6000 hospital bill for my dad's surgery, and the $7000 in taxes.
I think I might just stay home for the next few days. I don't think that I deserve to have any form of fun at all.
