Lori and Bobby have been together for five months already. "Happy five month-iversary, Bobby boo-boo bear!" Lori cooed to her boyfriend over her phone. "It felt like yesterday since we went out." Bobby replied. "I have something for you, babe! But I wanna give it to you at that one place we had out first date." "Aww Bobby, you literally shouldn't have! I'll be there, ASAP, 'Kay?" Lori grabbed the keys to the family van and her phone. On her way out, Mr. Loud shouted from another room. "Lori! If you're gonna be driving the van, be sure to bring it back before six. Your mother and I have special plans for tonight."
"Sure whatever!" Lori sighed as she head out the door. She then got in the van, turned it on, and went off to see Bobby. As she drove down the neighborhood, she felt her phone vibrate. Maybe it's Bobby again, but Lori knows not to text and drive. That's dangerous. She kept her eyes on the road, driving. Soon, she felt her phone vibrate again, and another time, and once more. Is it an emergency? Does Bobby have something really important to say, like trying to change the date location? Or could he be hurt!? Lori is still driving, anxious to look at her sudden texts, but she couldn't see an opportunity to pull over and stop since there are so many cars and junk in that street. "If I just keep straight and constantly glance back and forth at the road...I'll be fine. The road is straight. Besides, I'm literally only going 35 miles per hour, that can't kill me." Lori then pulled out her phone to see eleven new messages...but they weren't from Bobby. It was just spam from a teen magazine she subscribed to. Apparently, she gave them her phone number without paying attention. Nevertheless, Lori was still fixated on their new hot stories. "Ooooo! A steamy romance between Chad and Grace--?" CRRRRAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSHHHHHH!!!! Lori smashed against another person's parked car, destroying the van's front. The airbags deployed, but did more bad than good. Bruising Lori's left eye. Glass shattered and cut her in several places. She was conscious for a couple of seconds, then passed out.
Several hours later, Lori found herself on a hospital bad with her family and Bobby surrounding her. "LORI!" They all shouted. "Oh, thank God you're okay." Mrs. Loud said with tears in her eyes. "W...what happened?" Lori asked. "You were in a car accident, hun." Mr. Loud answered. "The Van needs to be fixed, but that doesn't matter now. We're all just glad you're still with us." Lori felt so stupid and guilty. "Uh..do you guys know the details of what happened?" "That doesn't matter right now, babe." Bobby held her weak hand. "Just rest up, okay? Here, your sisters and brother made you these cards." Lori read each and every card from her family. Telling her that they love her and hope she recovers soon. Sadness sank into her. She knew now that she will never text and drive again no matter what. From that day forward, Lori will never take her life for granted ever again.

Geez, that's a sad story, man...but I felt like I had to do another PSA-like story. For all of us, who drive and love getting text messages, it's very tempting to look at your phone while driving--even for a split second. We can't do it though. Because it only takes one second to end your life. And I hope for the kids who don't drive yet, got the lesson here. Lori will be fine. In fact she recovers a few weeks later. Bobby then gave her the Amber ring that he was gonna give her on that five month-iversary date.
Yay!
