Truth Challenge: Day 21

Day 21: Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?

I’m starting to really hate these questions. I’ve come this far though…

Ok, if it’s a minor accident, I’d call her up on the phone. The first thing I’d ask is if she’s alright. Hopefully she’d say yes, and then I’d ask if she needed anything or if she’d like me to come over. Once I’ve established that she’s alright, I’m either in my car on the way over with whatever she needs, or I’m still on the phone going to ask her again if there’s anything I can do to help in the situation. After all of that, I’d ask if we could talk about our fight. I’d tell her that I’m sorry that we weren’t agreeing on things, but that I don’t want to lose our close relationship over a silly fight and could be please discuss what happened? When I get into fights, I usually need time to cool off before I can have a productive conversation but I have a feeling I’d be cooled off after an accident. Hopefully we’d be able to work it out now that I can rationally talk things through and if not, and then at the very least I’d hope we could agree to disagree.

Let’s say that it’s a bad accident. I’d be at the hospital waiting with her family and I’d ignore the fight until she was able to talk about it, something that I would leave up to her to bring up. I’d pretend it didn’t happen and focus on getting her better. Fights are usually over stupid stuff that doesn’t really matter anyway.

If something happened and I was never able to apologize, I’d be upset at first, but eventually I think I’d know that because she was my best friend, she knew that I loved her and that fight or no fight, I was sorry for hurting her.

Of course, I’m making a lot of assumptions and that’s why I hate this question/scenario. The next few questions look like not so much fun… No wonder it’s just one a day!
