chapter 2~

"Hey, can I give you a ride home?"
I looked up from my book, finding the same brown eyed boy that I'd encountered earliar, standing in front of me.
"No, I'm fine." I sighed.
"I 'd like to walk home if you don't mind."
"I actually wanted to talk to you a little more." He admitted, pursing his rosy lips.
"Can I take you someplace to eat?"
My stomach growled beneath me, and I gulped, nodding.
As we drove into town, he turned up the car stereo, nodding his head to the music.
I watched him warily as he smiled in my deriction, smoothening his sunkissed blonde hair.
"I never did catch your name." I said, turning down the music a tad.
He looked up, lingering on me a moment.
"It's Toby." He said, his eyes darting back to the road.
"I thought she would have told you about me."
I furrowed my brow, tilting my head to the side.
"What do you..." 
"We're here!" Toby interupted, parking his truck to the side of the road.
He led me into a small ice cream parlor with bright neon colored walls and cool air conditioning.
"What can I get you kids?" And older woman asked, walking over to our table.
"I'll have an expresso cookie, and she'll have a triple chocolate chunk." He confirmed, tapping his hands on the granite counter.
She nodded, giving us a wink before walking away.
She returned quickly, setting the small cups of icecream down.
"So.." Toby began, trailing off.
"I don't really know exactly how to start this conversation.."
He stopped talking, shoveling a large scoup of sandy brown colored icecream into his mouth.
"I'll start it for you." I confirmed, crossing my arms sternly.
"How did you know Ashley?"
He gulped, laughing nervously.
"We were, um, kind of serious about eachother." He said quickly, his eyes becoming wet and glassy.
I hoped that he wouldn't start crying.
"You mean, you guys were dating?" I asked, suddenly more interested in the conversation.
He nodded, biting down on the edge of his lip.
I smiled, although I felt sick to my stomach.
Why didn't Ashley tell me she was dating someone?
I thought we told eachother everything.
"I first met her at a summer camp, and we connected instantly." he started, his eyes focused on something beyond me.
"I never...never got a chance to say." 
He stopped, holding a hand over his face as heavy sobs lurched from inside him, his body shaking.
To my suprise, I felt myself reaching out my hand, grabbing his.
He held on firmly, as if I were the only thing he had in the world to cling onto.
As if I were his only hope.
He looked up suddenly, his eyes red, full of pain.
"I never got a chance to say that I loved her."

chapter 1~

 "How was you sleep, sweetheart?" My mother asked, setting a plate of food in front of me.
"Great." I lied, poking at my scrambled eggs with a large metal fork.
I never slept, and if I did, I always woke up crying and in a cold sweat.
She pursed her lips as she tried to hide her dissapointment, turning to the sink to wash the dishes.
I bit down hard on my lip, pushing away the feeling of sudden guilt.
When Ashely died, she had opened up her arms to me while I pushed away.
I took a sip of my orange juice, letting the citrus taste run down my throat.
When it was time to leave for school, I kissed my mom goodbye, slinging my floral pattern backback around my shoulder.
As I walked to school, my feet shuffled softly against the paved sidewalk.
I didn't want to go back there and see all of those farmiliar faces whom I couldn't stand.
I didn't want to face all of the things that were a constant reminder of my former best friend.
"Why is that freak back?." A perky blonde yelled as I walked by her.
I made my way over to my old locker, fidgiting with the combination.
I pulled out the picture of Ashley and I that was taped on the inside, shoving it down my pocket.
I began walking to my first class quickly, trying to avoid bumping into anyone that I knew.
Just as I was about to turn a hallway corner, I felt a body brush against mine.
The impact was soft, but I still dropped my books, watching them fall to the ground in a heap.
"sh/t, I'm sorry." The boy apologized, picking up everything for me.
"You're Emma right?"
"Yeah, that's me." I grumbled as he handed me back my things.
I watched his dark brown orbs water up as he leaned in closer towards me.
"Is she really dead?" He whispered urgently, his voice full of pain.
"Ashley...she's gone?"
The way that he said her name made me cringe, and I took a step back.
"Yes." I sighed.
"It's been about a month now."
"How did she die?" He asked, scratching the back of his neck.
I looked down, feeling a bit nautious.
My mind traveled back to that night at the lake, and I bit down hard on the edge of my lip to keep from screaming.
 "Did you hear me?" He asked, as I turned away
I started walking down the hall, not looking back once.

It was pitch black out that night, the kind of darkness that could easily scare a person, except for Ashley.
"Come on Emma!" she squealed, tugging on my arm lightly.
"What do you want?" I moaned, rubbing my eyes.
I looked at my clock, sighing heavily.
"Ashley, it's two in the morning."
"no sh/t sherlock." She teased, ripping the blankets off of me.
"We're sneaking out tonight."
I had snuck out before, but tonight felt different.
"I'm tired." I complained, burying my head farther under a pillow.
"Stop being a baby and man up." She spat, yanking me out of bed.
"Get your bikini on, we're going night swimming."
 I reluctantly did what Ashley wanted, sneaking out of her house and walking to the lake nearbye.
The water felt warm but at the same time, uninviting.
I dipped my toes in, letting my feet sink into the soft sand as Ashley dived into the water smoothly without a care.
"Come on, let's go to the dock!" She yelled as she began moving her arms and legs briskly through the soft waves.
I envied the way she could make just about anything look graceful. 
I scrunched my nose up, moving into the water slowly until my waist was completely in, translucent and milky white under the moonlight.
I paddled my body lightly until I was at the dock, and sat next to Ashley, drying off.
She looked so pretty under the light of the moon, her tropical blue orbs sparkling brighter than they usually did.
"I'm glad your my best friend." I whispered, leaning my head onto her shoulder.
"I know." She said, before jumping in.
A wave of crystal like water splashed me, and I giggled, jumping in after her.
"Race you back!" She spluttered, spitting out water as she began swimming back.
I started swimming quickly, increasing my speed until I was much farther past her, moving at an incredible pace.
"Looks like I won!" I laughed, reaching the shore line.
That's when I heard her scream.
I turned, hearing Ashley struggle and call my name but I couldn't see where she was.
"Ashley?" I asked, feeling a sharp chill running up my spine.
"Ashley, are you okay?"
The sounds of struggle turned to silence, and there was nothing except for the wind blowing lightly, making my blonde locks fly around my face in a distorted fashion.
 I would never see my best friend again.
She was gone.
hey guys, I hope you liked my story so far(:
I've been brainstorming for a while now and I finally came up with a pretty good story line.
