Worst Birthday Ever

My worst birthday ever was when I turned 15. It all started when I was awakened by my brother and sister yelling at each other. They're always fighting for no reason.

So since I knew that I definitely wasn't going back to sleep, I got out of bed and took a shower. When I got out of the shower I realized that there were no towels. Then I was starting to get angry. So I dried off with a clean t-shirt then got dressed.

I started to watch TV for about 10 min. Then my sister asked me if I wanted to go to Fitchburg to pick up my cake. "Sure, why not" I said. My sister borrowed my mom's car and we took off.

We made it to about Gardner when someone behind us was driving so close to us we couldn't see their front license plate. Keep in mind my sister is not in a joking mood, she was still angry from the fight with my brother.

So being the angry person she is, she slammed the brakes. Bang! The guy hit us. My sister was in such shock she slammed the brakes until we were stopped in the middle of the highway. Bang! The man hit us a second time. This time he hit hard.

My head smashed off the windshield. Since my sister had previously broken her back I knew to call an ambulance right away when she complained of back pain. I never got my cake that day and I had to spend the rest of my birthday taking x-rays. That was my worst birthday ever.
