Chapter 4:

For the rest of the week I finished packing.
When I told my friends Erin hugged me,Sydney also hugged me and Joanna burst out crying.
At the funeral I sat in a chair off to the side as people apologized or hugged me calling me "poor dear"
And "sweet young thing".
I wore a black dress that went to my knees and had my hair tied in a tight braid with a black rose at the end.
My nails where black along with my eyeliner..I looked goth but didn't care,this was a funeral and if I had to wear black I was going to go all out or nothing.
My parents looked pretty with their hands folded neatly on their chests and white flowers around them.
I skipped around happily singing "London bridge is falling down,falling down,falling down.London bridge is falling down my fair lady" while I waited for the guests to leave.
I wandered behind the church and looked at the old graves,with names worn away and crumbling with age. Crows flew through the skies and wind whistled in the trees.
"hey Ana what's up?"
I turned and saw James wearing a white suit
"aren't you supposed to wear black,it is a funeral after all"
He shrugged
"I don't own a black suit so,ya know I just went with whatever"
"well as you can see I went for the goth look"
He nodded and walked over standing next to me
"I was surprised you weren't crying at the funeral"
I shrugged
"I'm not a crying person,I'm more a break down sobbing alone kind of person"
He nodded and looked thoughtful
"do you have a boyfriend?"
He asked
"what"? I asked stepping back
he grabbed my shoulder and a shock just like from the weird white man went up my arm.
"no I don't mean to be weird or anything,just wondering"
I nodded
"yeah but not much longer,I have to break up with him before I go to England for 6 months"
"you're going to England?" he said surprised
"yeah" I answered
"that's where I go every summer for vacation"
I smiled
"well then you'll see me before I go to school"
" yeah,I guess I will"
We stood in silence for a few minutes and stared at the grave yard.
I snuck a glance at him and saw that for a few seconds it looked like he had purple eyes and white hair,but then it went back to its normal blue and bleach blonde.
"well I gotta go" I said smiling
"don't almost get run over this time"! He said smiling
I smirked and ran back towards my car and slid in next to sandy.
"what took you so long"?
"nothing much"
We drive in silence when she said
"Erin is going to England too,she said her parents had also applied her because they thought she needed some time away from our "American ways"
I squealed and hit my head on the ceiling
"yayayayayayayay..all we need is and Jo too and we're all set."
I was happy all the way home and couldn't wait to call erin.
I urged Sandra to drive faster so she took a short cut through the woods.
This route was very twisty and the road was slick with rain from last night.
Suddenly a black cat ran out on to the road and we swerved to avoid it.
The car hit a rock and skidded over to the nearby hill. The car teetered on the edge of a nearby cliff as me and Sandra held our breath not daring to move.
Then the car fell and I screamed as the car tumbled backwards off the cliff.
