True Stories-Jumping out of a vehicle 2

True Stories-Jumping out of a moving vehicle 2

It was a very hot day. I was now starting to learn about social media marketing and networking with professional photographer, Anthony Bourg. It was my 3rd day of visiting him. I called him and told him that I'll reach very late and he replied back "OK". For some strange reason, I wasn't feeling to visit him again. But I still insisted on going still to see how it would be like.

I travelled to San Juan and I had to take a taxi to go inside by him. I gave the driver my destination. The driver dropped the other 2 passengers first while I waited patiently to reach my way although I was very late. There was a male passenger left in the taxi besides me.

After dropping off the second passenger, a little while after, I saw that a certain area was familiar. It looked similar to where Anthony lives. I glanced again and I believed it was where he lives. I called out " Driver, I think you pass the place". He asked on where I was going again and I repeated over. After telling him over again, he apologized and said that he got mixed up with another area. I asked him to go back and he said that he'll go back after the 3rd passenger. The guy told the driver that he can drop me before him but the driver still insisted that he'll drop me last.

I started to think differently. I was wondering if I was going into harm's way. After the driver dropped off the guy, my heart started to beat very fast. The place was silent for a while and the area he was heading was jungled.

So he asked me if I was angry for not being dropped earlier. I stayed quiet and 1 minute later, I jumped out of the car. The car ended up driving on my legs while I rolled over and my phone got damaged in the process. My chin, knees and butt were bruised.

I got up and trying to run and I was limping. I cried for help. I saw a woman and her child in the distance. I asked them for help. The driver drove to me after, cursing and quarrelling at me. He even came out of his car making a lot of noises. I still continued walking away from him.

I reached a good distance from him and I saw the same guy who dropped off last before me. He was shocked. He saw me limping and crying a little. I explained to him that I was so scared that I couldn't stay in the driver's car so I had to jump out. He decided to help me. He ended up taking the same driver to get me to the hospital and the driver was behaving all innocent.

We reached at Mount Hope General Hospital and 2 female doctors attended to my wounds. After I was being fixed up, I thanked the guy who became known to me as a security guard, Rodney Williams. We exchanged numbers and he travelled with me all the way till I reached at my house to ensure that I was safe. Since that, we talk very good on WhatsApp. He's one of the nicest guys I ever met.

Since that second jump off, I'll make sure to be very careful when travelling to strange places and I'll make sure to mark their number plates from now on because I used to forget to do with some drivers. For Anthony Bourg, I never implied to go back by him again since the incident but we still talk online. He asked me a few times to come back but I didn't have the time for him again. As for a photoshoot I even did with him on the first day, I didn't even ask for anymore. I got 4 out of 100 pics. I only think of asking for them if we get chance to work back together again.
