It was my last year in high school, I was only 15 but I skipped a couple of grades, and I was graduating early. I wanted to quickly get my degree and get out of the house. See the world, you know, everything like that. I was young and foolish too, I wasn't stupid…all teenagers are fools. I was smart though, too. I knew what the only thing a teenaged boy was looking for, sex and not love. And every girl just wanted to love, and so I knew to not have sex until I at least graduated from college.

My friends, I can't remember them now, but I had five of them. We would go everywhere together, we'd drive down to the beach, we'd go to the mall, skate park, we were inseparable. We talked about college too some times, and it scared us because all of us wanted to go to different places. Study abroad, University of Northern Colorado, University of Phoenix, online college, didn't want to go to college abroad, University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, NYU, BYU! All were possibilities that some of us either didn't want to go, or did want to go.

I remember my best friend since grade school though, Elizabeth. I remember watching her die. She was Mormon(nothing against mormons, just BYU seems to be the place they all would like to go or consider for college!); she wanted to go to BYU Hawaii. Lounge on the beach every weekend, get a nice tan; I explained to her it probably wasn't like that…everyone expected from Florida almost the exact same thing, but weren't anything like that either.

"Okay, Mary!"

"Mary"…I hated that name. They'd call me Mary Sue because they thought I was perfect, my doesn't even start with an M or even an S. I'm not perfect though, I had to study really hard every year just to pass Chemistry. Physics is easy though…I'm not clumsy either, I have a tendency to ramble, I also have a tendency for being a sarcastic bitch. I'm not perfect.

Then again, a person can only see their flaws while another can only see their perfections and their own flaws. I remember the Covenant coming during Homecoming game…the Spartans versus the Trojans, biggest rival in the state, and we were losing so far. Then we all heard something jump into our atmosphere, and everyone seemed to just freeze and look up into the sky to see the Covenant's ship. Drop ships quickly appeared and a big massive one overtook the sky.

At first we all stood there like idiots, and then realization dawned on us, and everyone started yelling trying to get out of the stadium. My friends and I jumped the fence and exited the stadium the same way the football players were. One of my friends, a football player, quickly joined us as we ran home to our parents, to see what we were to do. We were never trained for this.

Reach was supposed to stay safe. It's our sanctuary.

I heard the barking noises of Elites, my friend and I hid in the bottom of the stairway to apartments. When we felt we were safe, we got out and continued sprinting home. To see armed soldiers, escorting us to a pelican. I knew where it was now…

But I wasn't going on just yet, I had to go and get my younger siblings. I darted away from the crowd and quickly ran home. It wasn't until afterwards that I found out that Elizabeth was right behind me to help. She went into her house and I went into mine.

I heard the baby crying and the screen door slam, I then heard a barking in curiosity as to what the sound was. Gasping, I hid in the closet and watched as a big alien looked at the door curiously and looked around, gun raised – ready. As they went down the hall towards he living room, I raced down the hall that led to the kitchen and the stairs. Just to find a sight I didn't want to see, my dad and mom on the ground. I covered my mouth to stop the scream as I heard the barking noise coming closer, I quickly rushed up the stairs where the baby was still crying and my younger brother trying desperately to quiet him down.

"Shh…" I whispered to the toddler and the baby as I quickly kicked out the screen to the window, and ushered them out, I watched them climb down the vines and then I heard, "Humans." Turning, I saw an Elite with blue armor, he raised his weapon, but I threw myself out the window, I rolled down and tried to grab the railing, but I missed and fell into the bushes.

"C'mon, c'mon," I said picking up the child and started running, I then saw Elizabeth running out her door, a Grunt came out and shot her once in the back, once in the head, and in the shoulder. She fell to the ground, dead.

"NOO!"

"Let's go SPARTANs-"

"Get the civilian to the pelican 593."

"Sir, yes, sir."

Someone took us and took us away from the battlefield and towards a pelican. I followed, I felt like a machine that was just running on a battery. When we were inside, we practically thrown into our seats and he yanked our belts onto us and patted the pilot's chair before running back outside. Watching them go, I wasn't too sure what to feel, I just felt depressed.

The question was, how was I supposed to support my family now? Social Services was threatening to take us apart if I didn't find a job soon, I couldn't relay for much longer on our parent's funds. I sat feeding my baby sister formula when soldiers passed by me, maybe my only option was to send them to my aunt's on planet Earth, we were told there was no way that they could find Earth. But they found Reach.

Finally coming to a decision, I filled out the form for my younger siblings to go to my Aunt's place. I filled out the form, explaining I was going to stay here and join the military. I have lost everything, I have lost everyone, and now I was going to fight in the war, that took everyone and everything away from me.

So should I stop? I'm sorry about those who enjoy my You Belong With Me story, I thought my reader's hated it so I was going to quite, but apparently not, so I'm working on that again too. Review please!
