Hi Everyone,
My friend is posting this for me because I don't have a name on FF yet. THIS IS MY VERY FIRST FANFIC EVER! This is a 7th Heaven version of the movie A Walk to Remember with Mandy Moore. There are a few things different but overall the plots the same. If I get a lot of reviews I will update sooner and with more. Please send any reviews to the name above and I will read them and if you have any helpful thoughts or criticism please let me know. Please enjoy this first chapter
Hugs,
Your faithful writer
A note: this is rated T but should I rate it higher or lower?? Let me know.
The Jump
"Okay, Tom just jump off the tower and into the water and you'll officially be part of our group."
"Okay, I can do this guys, you won't regret it, I promise." Tom assured us.
"I'm sure we won't" I slurred as the beer we drank on the back lot of the school before we came started to take effect.
He started climbing up the tower; it must have been almost eighty feet.
While we waited Meredith put her hands on my waist and started pulling me to her humming the words to a soft, romantic song.
"Come on baby, dance with me."
"Get off, you know I don't dance." I grumbled as I pushed her off me.
"Fine, darn it, I wanna go back to the dance." she whined
"Well then you go on by yourself, I'm staying here." I grumbled. She could be so nagging and everything with her is fulfilling our popular expectations and making a scene at dances or plays by either making out with me or worse.
"Hey guys, you ready?" Tom yelled, he looked so happy to become part of the group. Little did he know that that drop was fatal and maybe… if we had known… I wouldn't be sitting where I am today and right now I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not.
"Okay guys, I'm ready," Tom yelled down. "Count me down… okay?" Tom asked. "Okay Tom," Mac said. " One…two…three…jump!" Mac yelled.
"Who-hoo" Tom yelled as he jumped off the water.
The last thing we heard before the crash in the water was a stifled scream of "Oh my god" and then BOOM!
We followed the plan very quickly and all jumped in our cars and ran off before Tom could resurface.
"Ha ha" Meredith laughed, "that was soooo funny." He words were slurred which was no doubt due to yet another brown beer bottle clenched in her hand.
She took another swig and clenched onto it so hard her ring pearl and amethyst ring was leaving a deep red mark on her finger. I just looked at her. How could she laugh when we knew that that fall could've been fatal? And even if it wasn't we still wouldn't let him be a part of our little group, it was all just a joke and she knew it.
She leaned over to the dial and turned it a few times until she came to a song she 'loved.'
"I love this song" she half-shrieked, half-slurred.
Tryna keep my body still
I can hardly stand the thrill
Baby take me on a journey
I've been thinkin' lately
I could use a little time alone with you
Oh yeah
Baby lets do something maybe
Please don't take your time
You got me right where you want me
I rolled my eyes. This is the type of song I would inevitably hear in a matter of minutes back at the dance. In fact I would probably hear this "exact" song as soon as we walked into the gym doors with my luck.
We pulled up to the school parking lot and I turned off the car. I turned to Meredith and asked, "Do we have to go in there?"
"Yes, they haven't even announced who will be voted on the prom committee. You know we have the voted for el presidente and vice-presidente in the bag."
I rolled my eyes at the stupid spanglish she always pulled which she thought sounded so clever. You'd think for someone with a 3.8 GPA she'd know the language she'd studied for so long a little better.
Anyhow I got out of the car and walked over to the other side and opened her door for her, not disguising my disgust for the whole ordeal.
She didn't seem to notice though, as she pulled her self out of the car with the help of my hand and adjusted the too-short lavender dress. She leaned over and gave me a wet kiss on the lips and said "Gracias senor. You have made your senorita very happy. " If it was even possible she leaned even closer and whispered in my ear "And later she will make you happy." I pretended like I was slightly interested but… G-d, I don't know maybe it was the alcohol on her breath or the way her brunette locks smelled like a combination of burnt wood and cigarette smoke that made me not able to even think much less want to do anything with her other than go in there and get this charade over.
"Who-pee" I replied and walked her into the gym. This would be a long night.
How did you like it?? I know it was short but I at least wanted to get it up there for you all. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW THIS IS MY VERY FIRST FANFIC EVER AND I COULD USE ANY HELP YOU THROW OUT THERE.
Hugs,
Your faithful writer
