advice

Couple weeks ago, my friend has a party. I went with one of my good friends, Amber. Since she drove, she promised that she wouldn't drink and if she did, she wouldn't have a lot. Once we got to the party I asked her for her keys just INCASE and I hid them in my purse. Like usual, she thought she wouldn't get drunk, she did.

She got SOO wasted that she couldn't even walk for 5 seconds and it freaked me out because everyone there was drunk and I didn't know how to drive but we both had to get home since our parent's and her sister were calling non-stop.

I finally answered to her sister's phone call and explained to her what was going on and she came to pick us up. I did not want Amber to be driving drunk and get us killed. I would never let that happen.

The next day, she was so furious with me that I took her keys and wouldn't let her drive. She even knew I had them. She was also very mad at me for calling her sister and now her sister is mad at her.

I can't help but feel like this is my fault. I didn't want us to get hurt and then regret anything later. What do I do? Advice? Thank you.

There's nothing you can do honey. I don't even know you and I'm proud of you! YOU helped save her life and your own that night. When she gets to be more mature, she'll realize that and thank you for what you did that night. If there were more people like you in this world, my brother's bestfriend would be alive right now.

Close to the door he paused to stand
as he took his class ring off her hand.

All who were watching did not speak,
as a silent tear ran down his cheek
and through his mind the memories ran
of the moments they’d walked and laughed in the sand.

But now his eyes were so terribly cold
for he would never again have her to hold.

They watched in silence as he bent near
and whispered the words "I love you" in her ear.

He touched her face and started to cry
as he put on his ring and wanted to die.

And just then, the wind began to blow
as they lowered her casket into the snow.

This is what happens to many alive–
when friends let friends drink and drive.
