Edwin

*As soon was Edwin turned 18,his parents bought him a car. He took his driver's license a few months ago, at 17.But as the law said,he wasn't allowed to drive alone. But now, he was. His parents got him his dream car. And he was going to drive it for the first time alone. He jumped in his car and decided that he would just drive around the city.

Edwin was driving and singing to the music. He put his own playlist so he knew every single song that played. But he got a little distracted. He was so happy, shouting the lyrics, but then he felt his car hitting something in front of him. He hit the brakes but he didn't see anything, no other car. Nothing. He got off and he was horrified when he saw that he hit someone with the car. The girl was laying on the ground, groaning and rubbing her head. Her shopping bag was on the ground, the stuff she bought spread around her. He watched her sit up, her forehead bleeding on a side. Her left forearm was all bruised from elbow to palm and her jeans were ripped at the right knee and a little dirty with blood and dirt.Edwin panicked, loosing his whole mind for a second. He couldn't believe that he hit someone with his car. He felt so bad. He pulled his phone out and called 911.The accident happened on a busy street and the traffic blocked since Edwin stopped the car

"I'm so sorry , oh my god!"He panicked, dropping on his knees next to you. You hit your head pretty hard, so your vision was blurry a little but you didn't hit the ground hard enough to be in any danger. He ran to the trunk and grabbed the first aid kit. He dropped next to you again, trying to help a little. Be prompted your back against the car, your head dropped back on the good. You looked up at the sky. He was trying to clean the little bleeding wound on your forehead.You felt the sting and groaned a little.You raised your head just a bit, but it immediately started to pound. You probably had a little concussion. All you saw was his face just inches away from yours, and his blue eyes full of panic.But everything was starting to spin around you. You didn't hear his voice, you could only hear a muffled sound and then your ears rang.You dropped your head back in pain and you fainted

You woke up, you were in the ambulance. Apparently you weren't taken to thr hospital because you had only light injures. You had a bandage around your forehead and your left forearm was in a cast. They cut your jeans to your knee and bandaged your knee. You looked to you left and saw Edwin, sitting on a bench next to your stretcher, his head in his hands. He felt so bad for hitting you with his car. Your parents were living in another country so you had nobody here practically. You were alone. Nobody was going to come and pick you up.He got his license taken for one month and he got a fine.

The police got you home and you skipped college for 4 days until you felt better. You went to college and everyone was happy to see you were fine. The accident was on thr news and everyone, even people you didn't know, knew that you got hit by a car. You stood with your friends in the cafeteria of thr campus, talking, when you saw Edwin and his friends in the distance.What a coincidence,you were going to thr same college. You didn't recognize his face, but you remembered his eyes. Because that was everything you saw before you fainted. He saw you and dropped his backpack running to you.

"I'm so glad you're feeling better. I know I can't undo the damage but I hope you believe me when I say that I feel like a monster"He said. You could see the pain in his eyes and the sincerity. You smiled

"It's okay..it's not just your fault...sometimes I used to cross the street without looking..I think I've learned my lesson now"You chuckled. He gave a chuckle and rubbed the back of his neck

"I know it won't undo anything,but do you want to go grab food after courses? You deserve it, especially from me"He said
