chapter 3: Regret
It's weird how quickly everything can change.
Something crazy happens and 20 seconds later you end up like me,
sobbing in a pathetic heap outside your boyfriends hospital
room...and you're the reason he might die.
Why was i so stupid? I shouldnt have ran across the street like
that. I should have seen the car coming.
“Uhh, miss? You can see him.. We have to tell
you something..” A doctor said gently, pulling me away from
my thoughts.

chapter 2: Blame
3 months later...
I pushed
myself up to the white plaster walls as I slid to the floor,
exhaling as I rested my head on my knees. This could not be
happening. It’s entirely my fault. I was going to marry
that boy, for god’s sake! He’s everything I wanted,
he couldn’t be replaced by anyone… And I ruined
it.
“Where is he? Where’s my baby!?” I
heard a woman’s shrill voice yelling from down the hallway.
I immediately knew whom it belonged to. I looked up, and
through my blurry vision I could see Aaron’s mother
frantically running towards me. She ran pretty awkwardly with her
black pencil skirt and high heels. She was always much more
uptight and fancy than Aaron ever was. I remember how he always
complained about the ostentatious parties she would drag him to
so he could meet people that work with big rich
companies.
“It’s just not my
thing,” He would say, “I just wanna worry
about now. I don’t want to be known as some rich
woman’s son everywhere I go.”
Mrs. Camden stopped running and briskly walked over to
where I sat.
“Where is he?!”
I took a deep breath, and answered with a quivering voice.
“H-he’s in there. Nobody’s allowed
to see him yet.” I tried my best to hold back the tears
that continuously spilled over my cheeks.
“You know, this is all your fault. If you hadn’t been
a little idiot and stopped in the road, my boy wouldn’t be
dying.”
With her accusation I burst into pathetic sobs again.
“I KNOW! It’s my fault! I-I’m so sorry!
Believe me I wish I was in that bed instead of him!” I
cried harder, pressing my forehead to my knees again. Mrs. Camden
never liked me. I remember overhearing her tell Aaron that I
wasn’t “classy” enough for him. He never
listened though, assuring her that I had more class than any of
her friends. Her face was priceless when he told her that. A tear
cascaded down my cheek, leaving a dark mark on my jeans as I
heard Aaron’s mother’s heeled shoes click-clack away.
I sniffled as I repeated the accident in my head.
“You don’t understand! You’re not
listening to me!” I cried as I stomped out of the coffee
shop. I didn’t care that the people on the busy street were
watching us. The sun was setting, turning the street a light
pink.
“Cameron, why is this a huge deal?! I got into
the college of my dreams! Why can’t you just be
happy?” He yelled, his perfect features contorted with
anger..
“Because you didn’t tell me until now! And
it’s on the other side of the country!” He looked at
me with an apologetic expression. I knew that if I stood there
any longer I would give in, so taking in a quick breath, I turned
and ran across the road. I didn’t care that there
wasn’t a red light, or that this street was so busy. I just
needed to get away from him for now. I need to think. As I
was almost to the other side I heard a car horn.
“CAM! WATCH OUT!” Aaron’s low voice
yelled, as I was shoved onto the curb of the street.
The car horn blared.
Tires screeched.
And suddenly I was staring at Aaron, lying motionless on the
pavement.

chapter 1: Forever?
“Alright, truth or dare?”
“Dare!” He answered quickly.
“Okay, I dare you to put 10 marshmallows in your
mouth at once!” I giggled, throwing a bag of marshmallows
at Aaron’s chest. He looked up at me with a playful
smile.
“Challenge accepted.” He said as he proceeded to
stuff the marshmallows in his mouth. 1..2….5…8.. I
started laughing, because his cheeks were huge. He ended up
laughing too, causing the marshmallows to spill out of his mouth,
and we laughed even harder. His laugh made me happy. He was one
of those kids that could look beautiful no matter what he did,
even with his chipmunk cheeks filled with marshmallows. His dirty
blonde hair fell perfectly just above his eyes. He flashed a
perfect innocent smile at me.
“Challenge failed..”
I giggled,
“Before you ask, I choose truth.”
“Alright, uhh, if you could make sure one thing happened in
your life, what would it be?”
I thought for a moment.
“I’d marry the boy of my dreams.” I
smiled sweetly at him. He grinned and took my hand.
“If that boy is me, I don’t think we’ll
have a problem with that.”
I smirked, “When did I say it was you?”
His smile dropped and was replaced with a pout.
“Oh..”
I giggled and kissed his cheek.
“Of course its you!”
Once we finished the game we picked up
the marshmallows and I plopped back on the couch, lightly closing
my eyes. It was nearly midnight, and I was beginning to feel the
effects of our childish games. I felt Aaron appear next to me,
sliding his body under mine so that I was lying on his chest. I
snuggled into his shirt, taking in the sweet scent of his
cologne. He began singing my favorite song, “You &
Me”, slowly and softly, just loud enough for me to hear it.
His voice was warm and flowing like hot chocolate, and everyone
seemed to relax when he had something to say. But as soon as he
became angry, the hot chocolate would freeze and his voice would
become like ice, cold and hard, and his eyes seconded the notion.
But luckily, it wasn’t often he had that emotion. As his
voice coaxed me into a comforting sleep, he gently brushed his
warm, pink lips against my cheek, his lean fingers moving my long
brown hair from my ear as he whispered,
“Happy 3 year anniversary baby, I love you so much.”
His warm breath tickled my ear. My lips twitched upwards as I
turned to him, looking into his milk chocolate eyes.
“Forever.”

Chapter 6. Secrets
The kids all came in and put alot more than just
orange juice on the table. I decided to take a walk around the
beach- I wasn't really that hungry. I took a deep breath as
my feet came in contact with the warm sand.
"BABY!" I heard someone yell behind me. I could
pick out that voice anywhere. I turned around and saw Dalton
jogging through the backyard to me.
"I saw you walk out. You okay?" He smiled his
childish smile. I gave him a reassuring smile,
"Yeah I'm fine..." He tilted his
head, watching me intently.
"Did Kendall say something to you? She seemed extra
'excited'" He asked, quoting "excited"
with his fingers.
"Well...she told me that I shouldnt be here.. I
don't know what that means.." I trailed off, kicking
some sand into a pile with my feet. I looked up at Dalton, who
was looking at the sand with a confused look.
"Uhh..yeah..I'm not sure what she's talking
about.." We stood in silence for acouple seconds before he
nudged my arm.
"C'mon, race you inside!" He flashed a smile
before dashing off the beach. I rolled my eyes and jogged behind
him.
...
“Lexi! You went last
the other night. You go first now.” I sighed, trying to
decide between picking truth or dare. I chickened out and picked
truth again. Josh was asking me. He thought for a moment
before I spoke
“Its
an easy one, remember.” I said, hoping he wouldn’t
ask for anything embarrassing.
“Fine..umm..
When’s your birthday?” He finally asked. It was an
easy question, but I still didn’t want to answer
it.
“Uhhh…December…umm…fifteenth?”
I said, which sounded more like a question than an answer. I
mentally slapped myself for sounding like I didn’t know my
birthday. They’ll know I’m lying.
“You
sure about that?” Luke chuckled, wrapping his arm around my
waist.
I felt
myself blushing, like I always do when I lie.
“Yeaahh…”
I said, trying to cover my blush.
“Really,
when’s your birthday? I picked an easy one for you.”
Josh said.

Chapter 5. (Part 2) Truth or Dare.
It was
nearly 10 o'clock when we began to head inside, quietly
chattering as we filed into the kitchen. Everyone hung their
towels up on chairs, changed, and scattered into their bedrooms.
I said goodnight to everyone and moved down the hallway to my
room.
I quietly opened my door to see Luke laying on his
bed staring at the ceiling. He didn't notice me come in, so I
crept up and put my hands on his eyes, ruffling his hair. He
grunted with surprise when my hands came in contact to his face,
and tried to move away from me, but couldnt. Finally, I let go of
him and looked at him, giggling. He looked at me, his eyes wide,
then narrowed at me, smirking.
"Nobody. Noooobody. Messes up my hair and gets away
with it!" He said evilly, quickly swinging his legs off the
bed. I laughed and sprinted over to the closet on the other side
of the room, and said
"Awwww dont be such a girll!".
I threw my hand on the handle and swung the door open. As soon as
I was about to step in i felt Luke's arm around my waist,
lifting me and and flinging me onto my bed. Before I could get up
I felt Luke's body heat hovering over me. He spoke in a
low tone, "What'd you sayy?" His face was just
inches from mine, getting closer by the second. I tried not
to ger caught up in it, and said
"I said you shouldnt be-" I choked on my words,
bursting into laughter.
"Luke! S-stop! I c-cant breath!" I laughed, trying to
stop his hands from squeezing my sides. He chuckled,
"What did you say about me? I didn't quite hear
that." He continued tickling me, as I continued squirming
uncontrollably under him.
"Nothing! N-nothing! I p-promise! Stopp!" I
panted, as he moved his hands from my stomach and placed them on
both sides of my head. He leaned closer to my face. I could feel
his breath on my face. I picked up my head alittle, closing my
eyes. I waited for our lips to touch...sooo closee...
"Go to sleep Lex." He chuckled, pushing off my
bed and walking to his. I sighed, feeling the adrenaline die
down, and slipped under the white sheets.
Did I want to kiss him? More importantly, did he
want to kiss me? Was he even going to? I turned to my side and
was asleep in a matter of seconds.
'I woke up that night to hear my father and an
unfamiliar voice screaming. My older sister, Klara, padded out of
the room and down the stairs, not seeming to be worried at all.
Her lifeguard sweatshirt swayed around her legs as she walked, as
it was too big for her. She was a champion swimmer, and a
lifeguard at the local pool. I winced and cuddled closer into my
blankets. Suddenly I heard a gunshot...then another...and I heard
Klara screaming. Then it was quiet. I cried quietly, hoping it
was all a dream. After a while, I crept out of my covers and tip
toed downstairs. I saw my mother and father, laying in a pool of
red liquid..and Klara was gone.'
