My father had left our house in the midst of a fight between Lindsey and my mother. My mother was trying to get Lindsey to go with her to the Y to swim. Without thinking, Lindsey had blared "I'd rather die!" at the top of her lungs. My father watched as my mother froze then burst fleeing to their bedroom to wail behind the door. He quietly tucked his notebook in his jacket pocket took the car keys off the hook by the back door and snuck out.

Brianna Norton story spinners

As i regained consciousness i remember asking to my self what happened? I had apparently

got hit by a car and of course the cops didnt blame me for it because they didnt have their

headlights on.

I was walking in an dark alley in which it had been rainy the guy who ran

me over was being stubborn when the cops tried to talk to him about the accident after two

hours they had finnaly got it out of him meanwhile the ambulance took me to the hospital.

I called my mom and dad but they had to wait in the vestibule .

I got away with a couple of bruises and scratches and was just fine.

My parents pressed charges of course and it was a disaster trying to go to court and find the

right lawyer it was just a mess.
