She falls asleep while driving slowly down a suburban road and crashes into the back of a parked car
Worse, she doesn't stop when she wakes up from the impact, she actually puts her foot on the accelerator and pushes the parked car further forward so it crashes into a second car
And then a third
I'm really, really angry in the back that she couldn't stay awake while driving
She turns to the passengers seat in the back next to me and talks to this crazy girl named Taylor, who is sitting next to me for some reason
I don't really know who this girl Taylor is, she is just some crazy, random girl who works at a pizza store, who accused me of stalking her, because I was consistently ordering and picking up pizzas (absolutely nothing to do with her and everything to do with wanting pizza). I wasn't just hurt by her accusing me, I was actually insulted and angry that she convinced herself I was interested
She was/is completely unappealing, but she seemed nice, so I was nice to her. The fact she mistook this for interest, means I likewise mistook someone repulsive and ugly for being nice
There are very few people in this world I see as repulsive and ugly, because I always try to see the beauty in everyone, but she somehow managed to make that list
More than anything, I'm angry she's somehow in the backseat next to me and even more so, that Poppy is talking to her after the crash
"Can you drive?" she asked Taylor
"What the fuck you asking her for?" I asked Poppy, annoyed she acknowledged her
"I've got my full license, why would you be asking her?"
We get out of the car and I sense that the intention is for someone else who won't fall asleep to drive the car and leave quickly, before the police turn up
The front doors of a Church across the road open up and a priest comes out to see what was happening. He obviously heard the crash
So we aren't going anywhere
We have to wait around for the police and Poppy has to deal with the consequences of falling asleep behind the wheel
