• I hear the sirens behind me, taking a tender step foward, a cold gust of december air Blows in my face. Shivering I pull the heavy coat around my slim, fit, frame. I couldn't get into my house, and figured I had lost my keys down here when I was hanging out with my friend earlier, so I came back to check. Over the rustling wind I can hear voices not far down the river, 'Who could that be?' I ask myself and walk over the crunching snow trying to be quiet
    I can see the ice of the river being illuminated by a white car's headlights I hear laughters and screams. 'that sounds like vanessa.' I think to myself and crouch behind a tree hidden in the shadows that is created by the car.
    "Hey vanessa baby Where is that b***h Rollie at tonight?" a male's voice asks as more screaming comes from inside the car.
    Giggles fill the air. 'vanessa?' I wonder then hear her reply
    "who knows who cares. She is probably crying her eyes out because I have you and she doesn't." I peek over just in time to see him reach over and kiss her. I get up and run towards where I was. I run on the rive as loud pops errupt into the air,
    I hear them notice the pops and look my way, "Rollie is that you?" I hear my name being called but I contiue to run.

    "Rollie wait please stop. The river is going to crack." I hear their frantic voices try to stop me as tears run down my face. The river finally gives way underneath me as I stop, water black as the ice fills around my feet as I slip beneath the surface.
    Staring up at the distorted moon I hear nothing but silence. My grave is one of peace and tranquility. Then when only minutes but seems like years went by. Felt the hand on the back of my jacket.
    I am hauled back into the noisy world and I am staring into the face of Reede. I glare at him while coughing up water. "Rollie are you okay." vanessa comes up behind him worry in her eyes. "I hate you." I manage and throw up the black water and my dinner on the now pale ice.
    They try to pick me up but I manage to move my frozen legs and run from them. Stepping on my keys. I pick them up and contiue to run. I hear them running after me. The mindnight breeze is forcing my body to shiver. I stop just at the edge of the hill and lean on my knees. they step towards me.
    I pull out my father's hunting knife, I had been carring it since the shooting, and bring it out in a defensive postion, "get the ******** away from me right now." I whisper my glare on her and him. they back up, "don't do anything stupid. We need to get you to your house so you won't die." reede says holding up his hands.
    I pull up my wrist and slide the cool blade over the top, blood poors out, "Do I look dead to you." I stand and turn away from them and began to walk. I get to my house about five mintes later and my cell phone is buzzing like crazy,
    "Hey mom." I say while wrapping my wrist. My voice sounds groggly like I was sleeping so it all works, "Where have you been. Did I wake you," I answer no. She tells me to get some sleep and so I do......((chapter one))
