Six Years Later
"Luna! Luna! Luna, wake up already! Your friend from school is here!"
"I don't have any friends. It's probably just Chris, I got stuck with him for the class project."
"Reguardless, he came for you, so you can take care of him, instead of sleeping all day!"
Yo, my name is Luna, well actually it's not but who cares, I'm your average lazy 14 year old, with a bad attitude, no manors, and zero sence of self-worth, yet somehow I'm considered a young genious. I'm somewhere around 5' 6" with red hair, yes it's natural, with black streaks dyed into it.
This lady barking at me is my stepmother, no I'm not a Cinderella, she's not evil, usally.The only reason she has me is because both my parents died in a car crash, I wasn't in the car. This lady couldn't give birth because of her weak body, and miricle of all miricles, when she came to the adoptove agency, almost five years ago,I looked and behaved exactually like the child she had always imagened having. I bet she regreats adopting me now.
Anyway this Chris guy, I want nothing to do with him, but I got stuck having to do this class project with him, so I guess here he is.
I had to open the door, because my "mom" had closed when she came to get me. When I opened it, there in front of me stood Chris, a boy with short cut brown hair about 6' 2", "Hi Luna I thought you weren't home, you took so long."
"What are you doing here, Chris.Didn't I tell you to stay away from me."
"Yes, you did, but you are my partner for the class project."
I'm too tired to deal with this guy, "Go home, I already finished the project, so leave me alone."
"Wow, you finished. Can I see?"
"If I let you will you go away?"
"Sure."
"You have ten minutes.", I opened the door further to let him in, "It's in my room."
I showed him the way to my room, and opened my door to let him in. If I had known he was going to end up in my room I would have cleaned it, all my stuff was just scattered anywhere in the room.
I pointed to the project, which was sitting on my desk, right next to a stack of books. He walked over to my desk, and examined the project I had made, "Wow, this is actually pretty good." He touched part of the project, and it had broken off.
"Be careful, I just fnished it, it's still fragile."
"Oh, sorry.", He pulled away his hand so fast he hit the books next to the project.
"Be careful, you moron." I fell to the floor trying to find something that I had put on top of those books, something very important to me.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to find something you knocked over, along with those books."
"If I knocked it down I'll help you find it. Uh... what is it I'm looking for?"
"A necklace, it's gold with the name Alex on it."
"If it's just necklace, why bother looking for it right away. I mean, compared with half the stuff in this room, a necklace seems pretty wierd to be looking so franticly for."
"It's not just any old necklace, it belongs to my only friend."
"You actually have a friend?"
"Yes, why wouldn't I.", That wasn't a question.
"Well, what's the story behind this guy? What's with him? Where does he live? Is he even real?" He just asked alot of questions all at once didn't he.
"Yes, he is real."
"Okay, but what's his story."
"He's in the hospitle,in acoma."
"How'd that happen?"
"I was with him."
"What do you mean? He can't go into a coma just from being with you."
"It's all my fault."
"Tell me."
"We were the best of friends, we even had a secret spot where we could be alone to play, it was an old warehouse no one used anymore. I always wore a watch so that we would know when to leave for home, but it was daylight savings and I forgot to set it ahead. We were there too late and some people came in, they had guns, we hid and he gaveme that necklace, which is what his grandmother gave him right before she died, and said we would be alright. The people were about to leave, but I stood up and my footstep made an echo. The people turned around and he jumped out from where we wre hiding, swining his fist. He ended up falling and the people, instead of killing him, kicked him until he was unconsious. After they left I went to get help, but he was already in a coma, put into it by shock, at least that's what the doctors said. That same day my parents went out to look for me in the car, because I wasn't home yet. They were coming to a red light, but their breaks failed them and they died." I hadn't noticed until now, but I was crying when I was talking.
"That's so sad."
"Not really, Alex, my friend, is still alive."
Chris left my house and I found Alex's necklace.
A few days past, and I got a call from the hospitle, Alex had died in his coma. I was in total shock, I wasn't thinking straight, when I heard that I put on Alex's necklace and went running.
I kept running until I was at the old warehouse where we used to play, and where Alex was put into his coma. I climbed on to the roof and walked to one ofthe edges. I looked down and thought 'If I jump the fall would kill me, wouldn't it'. I put on of my feet over the edge, then I heard a voice.
"Luna, stop. Don't jump." That voice it was Chris's.
I turned around he was on the roof too, "Why, why can't I jump? Alex,my parents, they're alldead now, because of me. This is my apology to them."
"Do you think they would actually want you to die for them, especially Alex. He did what he did for you, so you could be safe."
He was right if I died now, Alex dieing would be for nothing. I turned around to walk over to where Chris was, but my foot sliped and Iwent falling backwards.
I heard Chris yell my name, then hit the ground head first. I was right, falling from that hight would kill me, and it did.
