Chapter One-Remembering Amie
We never did see it coming. She didn't tell us until about 6 months before she died. She was the first person close to me that died. And from AIDS, too. We barely had three years with her, but what time we had with her was amazing, no matter how it was, Amie bought out the best in everyone. And damn beautiful. Elise thought she was the best looking female on the mountain, but I think even she knew she was outdone by Amie. The newbies like Griff and Allegra were always following her around begging her to show off her tricks and wanting tips on their boarding.
I can also remember every guy on the circuit had the hots for her, even I did, and I'm not of a 'skirt-chaser' as Eddie puts it. It was cute because Mac was gunning for her, even though at the time, he was 15 and Amie was 29, like I was. JP tried to sink his teeth into her the moment he saw her, but Eddie was always reasurring me that we'd end up together, no matter how hard JP tried, she was just not going to be sucked in by his stuck up bullshit.
"It's gonna be you and her, Zenmaster, trust me, you guys all the way!"
Or as long as the AIDS would allow her to live, anyways.

Author's Note: I saw a special on AIDS the other day. It was about Thai woman who used to work as a prostitute and caught AIDS, by the end of the show she had died. After that I decided to scrap the original version of this story (Which was more cheerful, but still in
Brodi's POV)and write this. This first chapter isn't to great but I'll revise it. I promise. please
review, btw: SSX3 and all the other things I use belong to their respective owners, I only own Amie.
