Hello. This is a very sad story about drinking and driving and how it has caused so many lives to be lost, and in this case, a young blonde who was never really a star, yet no one would ever forget.

I don't own Dragonball so don't sue. The poem however is called Alone (Never Drink and Drive) and it belongs to me and me alone.

Please read and review.

From 11:00pm to Midnight

By Katie

11:00 pm

Marron lay with her head against the pavement. Tears rolled solemnly down her cheeks as she rested her body against the pavement. No longer would she struggle against the embeddable.

She could hear the sirens in the distance. They were coming.

Yet she knew it would be no use.

"Mommy…Daddy…" she whispered to herself. "I'm scared…"

Tears softly rolled down her pale white skin that slowly began to be tinted red. She looked around her. Her car was smashed, her boyfriend Gary lay with his head bleeding against the remainders of the passenger side window. Her friends Molly and Brent were unconscious in the back seats, bleeding horribly. She had managed to push herself out of the vehicle and onto the pavement, hoping to Dende that somehow someone would find her and rescue her.

As the paramedics arrived she looked over at the other car. The man was unconscious but looked to not have any severe injuries.

"Damn…" she whispered to herself.

The paramedics fled about helped her friends out of the car and onto stretchers. Police and firemen cut the roof off the car to get at the two in the back seat. That was the first time she really saw what was going on clearly.

The man in the other car had awoken and was having some tests done on him. She was so preoccupied with what was going on she didn't notice the paramedics pull me onto my back and check her pulse. After a while her friends had been pulled out of site and she no longer paid much attention. Somehow she knew…

I never drink and drive

Really I never do

Never in my life have I made the mistake

Of taking a chance with you

Yet why are we here

Lying cracked and torn upon the ground?

Their blood does spill to match the mood

Their prom clothes lay ruin.

Her golden locks all stained with red

His white shirt lies in shreds

Her eyes are frightened

His skin is pale

My boyfriend, he dies alone

And all I can do is hold out my hand

And hope that I don't go

Please don't let me go.

My friend, she lies in the shackles of death

My buddy has his heart monitor unplugged

My boyfriend has his pulse taken

And I have my head rapped tight –

Bandages plastered

Zippers are pulled

Faces are hidden

Eyes are closed.

We did exactly what they said

Never drink and drive

I was driving I was in charge

And I didn't drink and drive –

I felt proud of myself as I stepped behind the wheel

My friends had a drink apiece

I didn't have a sip

That's the type of person I am, really that's the truth.

As I turned the corner

And entered on the highway

My friends were quiet

I was concentrating

Everything would be all right –

But when the headlights came a streaming

Forth to touch my eyes

Blinding lights do flash above and I couldn't see a thing.

That's the last thing I remember

Besides my friends hard screams

I can hear the paramedics say

The other driver is alright but drunk –

And we are here alone again

Although we are crowded by the paramedics,

And the reporters writing stories

"Teens Lie Dead and Drunk Survives".

I close my eyes

The paramedic takes my pulse

For some reason I know I'm not alright

None of us are alright –

I hear them say my baby's dead,

Molly and Brent are too

Why am I alone right now

Instead of home with you?

I want to tell them to say I love you

To all my family and friends

Right Daddy's Girl upon my grave

And Mommy's Angel too

I want my older bro to know he's in my heart forever

I want my friends to understand

To never ever drink and drive

And I love them too.

I'm not ready to go

I want to travel

I want to play and sing and dance

I want a wedding day

I want my degree in law you see

To become as successful as I can be

I want some kids and a husband too

I'm not ready to die.

My eyes begin to water

My baby's pulse runs dry

Molly dies and Brent does cry

As his last moments seep away

And all I can say is on this day

I love you mom and dad

Bro I'm sorry for everything

Goodbye world, goodbye –

And never drink and drive.

On that night Marron realized how innocent she really was, but way too late. Her eyes shut for the last time and her heart monitor went flat.

Midnight.

The End

This is dedicated to all of those who have ever lost family or friends to drunk driving collisions and those who died in them.

Remember drinking and driving isn't an accident, it's a choice. Make the right one.
