March 1, 2004

School was out for the week, my 3rd session of school complete.  I had just moved into a new place and needed to take rent to the landlords.  My roommates had all gone home to visit for the week, some in state some out of state.  I wasn't so fortunate, i didn't have the luxury of just gallivanting off at the drop of a hat.  I went to the school to get an advance on the school loan and go to the bank to cash it.

I was leaving school and since it doesn't rain all that often in southern California, i figured the roads might be a bit slick, i put my seat belt on... i wasn't one to drive with it all the time.  That thought possibly saved my life.  Less than 30 seconds later, my front end was hit and i was pushed across into the oncoming lane, good thing it was a slow traffic day.  Compact car against SUV, i was in the compact car.  I rode in an ambulance for the first time and was released later that day after initial examination.  My body was bruised and sore, i had no car.  I think i took a cab home that day but don't recall. 

I got home to no one, its like when you're sick and you just need someone to take care of you, that's how i felt.  I called him.  I felt broken, I think that day he was working but i left a message anyway, maybe i left a couple.  He came over that night and took me in his arms.  It was a tender night and a beautiful rekindling.  Something told me it wasn't over then... we had such a strong connection that I couldn't just stand and let it slip away again...
