never getting home

He walked home alone after the ceremony. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned his suit. He began to cry again as he thought about the party.
It was at that party that they shared there first real kiss. He probably wouldn’t have done it if he wasn’t so drunk. The sparks did fly as they shared that moment. He drank some more after that, for he was so happy he didn’t know what he was doing.
Drink after drink went down. He danced with her, as well as he could that is. She turned to him and asked if he can drive her home, it was get late and she didn’t want her parents to worry. To drunk to have any judgement of any kind, he said yes. No one would have ever guessed that she would never get home. All it took was for him to run a red light and for them to be hit passenger side from a mini van. He survived suffering only a broken wrist and leg. Her, on the other hand, died instantly from the sudden jerk of the car.
He wasn’t off the hook though. His court hearing will be tomorrow.
