The Time I Survived a Plane Crash

"Hey Ezmia wake up!"

I woke up to my mom poking me in the face.

"C'mon you'll be late for the plane!" she said.

I immediately jumped out of my bed and started getting dressed. I just got out of medical school and I was going to be an intern at one of the best hospitals in the country. I lived a couple of states away so I have to take a plane, cause hell I'm not driving. I got dressed and I headed towards the door before my mom called out to me.

"Make sure you be safe sweetie!" she said as I opened the door, "Make sure you stay safe!"

"I will mom!" I said. A car then pulled up to the drive-way and the window rolled down.

"Sorry I'm late! Hurry up and get in we'll miss the plane!" my friend said. My friend, Mia, just graduated from medical school too and she was going to be an intern in the same hospital I'm going to work in so we decided to just go together. After I got in the car she drove us to the plane. After we got there we found the right entrance to our plane so we got on and sat down.

"Aren't you excited?" I said to Mia happily. I looked over to her and she looked scared.

"Hey are you okay?" I asked her.

"Yeah I'm fine. I've never been on a plane before," she said nervously.

"Oh come on we'll be fine! It's rare for a plane to crash! I doubt that our plane would be one of the unlucky ones." I said while patting her shoulder. A couple of moments later we could feel the plane starting to move and eventually we were already high above the ground.

"Are you feeling better now?" I asked Mia.

"Yeah I'm fine now," she said.

"Well if you need it I have so-"

Then it sounded like something exploded and the plane shook a lot. Everyone started to look out the window.

Then someone said, "The engine in the right wing exploded!"

Everyone on the plane started freaking out and the flight attendants tried calming everyone down.

I looked at Mia with a serious look, "We're losing altitude really fast!"

I looked out the window and saw trees getting bigger and bigger until we hit the ground.

  

I woke up and saw trees above me, "Oww my head hurts,"  I said. My ears are ringing really bad. I sat up to look around me but my eyes traveled to the piece of metal that was stuck in my abdomen. I looked up to see Mia started to walked towards me.

"How long was I out?" I asked.

"I-I don't know we were in a plane and it crashed...." she said as she looked around, "How did we survive?"

"I don't know...." I said. I looked back down at my stomach and wrapped my hands tightly around the piece of metal. I looked a deep breath and pulled it out. Mia grabbed a random cloth and wrapped it around me and tightly tied it.

"We should help anyone else that may have survived," I said to Mia, "We might me the only people with medical knowledge on this plane."

"Okay, I think I saw some people moving over there," she said and she pointed in the other direction. We walked over and put our medical skills to the test. We started helping the few people that survived and it was already dark. We looked around of what was left of the plane and found a small box.

"Look I found some matches and a flare gun!" Mia said, raising the items in her hand.

We started a small fire and we had everyone sit around it.

"Nobody is allowed to go to sleep! Your bodies are still in shock and your organs can shut down!" I said.

"What does that mean?" someone said.

"You could die," Mia said. Everyone looked at each other with scared looks. But eventually no one was able to stay awake and we all fell asleep. 

I woke up to the sound of a helicopter. I quickly scrambled up to find the flare gun. I picked it up and immediately shot it up at the sky, and after a couple of moments the helicopter was right above me. We were saved.
