ing her, we don't know why but the girl for some reason came back to the scene hours later, and was put under arrest after claiming she didn't see Jamie as she was crossing the street. The accident happened around 12 on Saturday night, and after the driver claimed she didn't see Jamie, she said that she saw L.A which still to this day doesn't make sense because Jamie was white and L.A was black so if you saw either of them you would see the white one, not the black one. The driver was speeding to make matters worse, and not only was jamie hit, she flew 30 feet and when she hit the ground she died on impact. July 9th was one of the worst days of my life, because I had become close with Jamie in the past 3 or 4 months, but for some reason my group of friends would exclude her when we went out sometimes, and looking back on it we all felt so bad. On July 8th there was a carnival at the church, around the block from where she was hit, and we were all there hanging out together and I remember when I went to leave I was saying goodbye to everyone, and I hadn't said goodbye to Jamie and I was about to leave, but something in me made me turn around and say goodbye to her, and I remember giving her a hug and saying I'll see you tommorrow. Looking back on that night I was so happy I said goodbye to her otherwise I would have missed saying goodbye to her and never had the chance to. The next few days were hard, because there was the wakes, the mass, and the funeral, my whole group of friends went to all of them, and it was so sad to see everyone crying and wishing that she was there with us instead of us being there because of her. The worst part of the accident was that Jamie was the nicest person I ever knew, and it just sucked that it had to happen to someone who was such a good person. Jamie died when she was only 19 years old, she had so much time to live and she would have done great things in her life.

Remebering Jamie
In July 2006 I had a tragic event happen, one of my very close girl friends, Jamie was hit and killed in a hit and run accident. I remember being at work on a Sunday morning, and when I went on my break I had like 10 missed calls, and 2 or 3 messages. When I called my voicemail the first was from my friend Teash, saying to call her as soon as I could, and the other was from my brother saying something happened and to call him on Vinny's phone as soon as I could. So the first thought that came to my mind was that something happened to Vinny and that's why my brother told me to call his phone, but when I called my brother he told me that our friend Jamie had been hit by a car and died at first I didn't believe him and I was like no way could that have happened. So after going back to work for 2 more hours, and when my mom picked me up and brought me home, the first thing I did was called my other friends and everyone was at Jamie's house so I got changed and walked over to her house. This was when I found out the details, on where, and when she was hit, I also found out that my friends L.A and Jamal were with her and saw the whole thing happen. Jamie was hit by a girl in her mid-twenties and she drove away after hitt
