cousin on TV

ksl.com - High-speed chase ...

so i just found out today that my cousin jenny was being her brave self. so some time today or the last few days there was some dweeb decided he wanted a video game joy ride on his bullet bike. he raced his way up i-15 and while he was chased he decide to take it to surface streets, where his luck caught up with him. he skied to a halt and wedged his bike under my cousin and her husbands' SUV.

almost immediately the SUV and bike caught on fire, my cousin afraid for her life and her children hoped out and began to ferry children from the car to the side of the road. ya, at that moment i knew i was related by blood to her. i have felt the same thing.

once in high school a friend of mine decided to take a ride on her spindly boyfriend's back. when he lost his balance she fell over the chairs of the auditorium, and got her foot stuck in the folding auditorium seat. i knew that she was better then she looked laying on the ground but then i saw her trapped ankle. her leg making it impossible to get it free unless we could lift her up. i immediately said, 'pick her up,' but someone else said 'don't move her'. i knew that the longer she sat there the more damage would happen to her trapped ankle.

when no one moved i climbed over the chair to help her and so did another friend of ours. we lifted her up enough to have one other friend easy her ankle out of its trapped place. then we eased her back to the ground. of course for some reason the thought of some one saying not to move her when it was obvious to me that she was continuing to be hurt made me furious.

all i could think was i wanted to be away from that person and i was going to be late for class, yea i was not thinking clearly. but i knew there was enough other people that she would be fine and i was only end up getting in the way.

i only found out later she had assumed the one that had saved her was her boy friend, and i keep thinking he was the one that said not to move her. now that i think of it i am mad that she gave him credit for what i did, but i knew that after getting her out that she was going to be fine. i was not so sure about my anger. i think if i had stayed i might have ended up getting suspended for almost ripping a guy apart.

i rarely get that mad, but when i do i know i am not a person to be around. i am likely to do almost anything, i think that is the reason i slunk off to class. i knew if i stayed around it was not going to help my friend any more than she was and only make things worse because my anger would show.
