Chapter 1:
I stepped out the door of my high school and enjoyed the soft summer breeze as it whipped my black hair around my face. Today is the was the last day of school and I was looking forward to a happy summer full of parties and cute boys. I wave to my parents as they start to drive up and I begin to walk forward "Yo dude watch where your.....oh hey Ana" Says someone as I run into them I quickly turn around ready to apologize to find that James, the cutest boy in I think the whole planet staring at me "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you I was just" I said but was cut off "it's okay I don't mind" he said smiling...I think angels started singing,not that I would know what they sound like. "Ana"!! Yelled someone,closely followed by a honking horn I turn to see my parents saving frantically "ummm sorry I gotta go" I say to James and I run to the car. "Anastasia Kathryn Galadriel smith... " started my mother,she was probably going to lecture me now or something but I didn't really care that much Suddenly I heard some screams and another person yell "Watch out!!!" I looked behind me to see a school bus heading full speed at the car. My body froze and I try to move but couldn't . All I can think of is that bus,coming down the road to kill me. Suddenly someone grabbed me and jerked me backwards making me fall on the curb bruising my arms. The car was thrown forward and rolled through the parking lot,hitting the trees and landing on its top in a crumpled heap near the front of the bus. I stared in horror,stunned. This kind of stuff happened on tv or in places faraway not here,not to me. I slowly got up and walked towards the car. People were surrounding it and I heard Sirens,someone must have called 911. I stood off to the side alone and forgotten. I watched as the pull my parents mangled bodies out of the car limp and lifeless and then I ran. Tears streaked down my face as I run,tripping over rocks and scrapping my face on branches. I found myself arriving at Erin's house and I burst into the back door now full out sobbing. Sydney was over and I heard them laughing in erin's room I run into the room. "Ana"? Says Sydney in surprise "what's wrong"? I shake my head and sink to the floor "Ana"?whats wrong?"did someone hurt you"? Says Erin shaking me. "no" I answer and I go back to sobbing. Sydney tried coaxing an answer out of me but to no avail. Every time I tried to talk a fresh wave of pain would overcome me. Erin held me for what seemed like hours holding me,slowly rocking me back and forth. Finally I looked up and said "my parents died in a car crash" We sat in awkward silence for a few minutes before syd said "when"? "when they went to pick me up today....after school" I rose to my feet "I'm going home now" And I left leaving them to stare after me. I trudged slowly home and collapsed on the couch tired out. I turn on the tv and flip to the news "There was a tragic event at eastridge highschool ....." I turned it off and curled up on the couch and fell asleep as a fresh wave of tears overcame me.why me? I thought why me?
