Mexico: Nov 07
Okay so some of you know that I went to Mexico yesterday... and some of you also know I've been sick (I'm only coughing now, but my coughs are terrible and they scare the hell out of people) My dad was tried and he hates going to Mexico so he wanted to go home, so we left at around 10 pm. Then while we were driving away my mom kept telling me to go to sleep, so I was trying to. The next thing i knew my mom was yelling "A tire! Stop! Stop!" and there was a screech from our car and a loud thud and my brother was yelling "Woah what the hell!". And since I was attempting to fall asleep I was sitting in an awkward position so after we hit the tire I kind of sat up and I wasn't able to breath, then when i could i was breathing heavily. My dad got out of the car to go see what happened, then he told my mom to get out, then my brother got out of the car... I stayed in from the difficultly breathing. My dad told my mom to put the car in reverse while he and my brother pulled the tire out from under the car (and let me just say, it was a really big tire). Once they did out my mom told me to stay in the car because it was too cold outside. This guy and his son came to help us out. The guy said that he saw the people who put the tire there and he was going to go take it out of the street but we hit it before he was able to get there. That guy and my dad were talking while my mom was trying to call someone for help. I was starting to feel uncomfortable watching the cars pass by. After a few minutes I heard my mom saying, " Oh my god! They're going to hit her! It's going to hit her! She's still in the car! She's going to get hit!". Hearing that, everything my science teacher said about inertia and car crashes came into my head and I braced myself for impact... But nothing happened, the car (which was a truck twice the height of our car) barely missed. Seeing the truck pass by and how close it was to our car scared me even more. My mom, almost crying asked if I was well enough to get out... I wasn't but i didn't want to stay in the car. I was terrified thinking I was going to get hit and then my mom hugged me and i started crying. We called the police and they just made us move the car to a safer spot, they didn't care about what was going on. My aunt then came and we used her cell phone to call my uncle (because our phone and her phone weren't working correctly).My mom told me to go sit in my aunt's car so i could stay warm. My mom and aunt were talking about letting me go to their house if it were to talk a while, though me aunt didn't want to leave until she knew how things would be. When my uncle showed up we called our insurance agent. He showed up about 40 minutes later and they took picture of what happened and signed some papers so we could get the car fixed up and he told us it was okay to drive home and get it fixed once we got home. My mom told me that and I got back in our car to. We went to our aunt's house to got get a better look at what happened, it was around 1:30am. They we left to go home and by the time we got home it was 4:36 am....
