My First Brush With Danger

My first brush with danger was when I was celebrating a friend of mines birthday. We had decided to throw a little party for my friend Andrea, She was turning 19 years old and you know of course we want celebrate every minute it can last. We borrowed a cousins house for the party which was not in such a great neighborhood we did know and had some relatives around the house we were going to be staying at so at that moment we thought it was good and okay to stay at the house. Time had went by we had everything organized we were changed, and friends of ours started arriving. Everything was going so well and everybody was enjoying the party and having fun, I decided to step out the house on the patio with my friend Aileen. We had stepped out to wait for my cousin to get to the party to enjoy a great time with us since we hadn’t seen her in months. Once I heard my phone ringing with my cousins caller ID I answered and she had said she was walking to the party since there was no parking spots much closer to the house we were at, once she had told me she was walking I heard gun shots in the back ground and I started freaking out I kept saying her name on the phone but I couldn’t hear her I started panicking I was worried something had happened to her so I stepped off the patio onto the sidewalk and I see her running towards me as soon as I see her running towards me a dark blue car drove past us so fast shooting into the air basically doing a drive-by everyone who was around me and myself had ducked down to avoid getting hit. Luckily no one did get hurt it was so close to us that I have no idea how no one got hurt but thank the lord again no one got injured. The cops did show up since we were basically the only people outside when it had happened we did talk to them they thought it was us since we were throwing a party but no one got arrested or anything, this is the nearest I’ve been near people shooting at us or in the air which was the scariest for me.
