Lisa and Kindle, they did not deserve to die the way they did. It is all my fault, I lost control of the car, but yet I am still considered the lucky one. I would rather be dead knowing that they are perfectly safe, then being alive knowing I killed them. My two twin sisters were only eleven, I am currently still sixteen, they were too young.
