The Story of a Hero

He was two or three years older than me but said I was like his big brother. He wanted to go to another city four hours away and hang out with some friends and party for the weekend. "I didn't hear from him until sometime Sunday night when he texted me that he was thinking about killing himself" On the drive to the nearest ER which is at least 25 minutes away he started to check out. His half black half Latino skin became wider than I ever thought was possible, becoming unresponsive to either physical or verbal inputs. Instead of render my own completely untrained aid on the side of a country road,. I decided the only logical option was heading straight towards the hospital.
