The Gift of Life

First chapter: Forever

Drew woke up in a startle state. He looked around his surroundings. He was in what looked like a bus. He stood up, but his legs gave out, and he stumbled forward. A hand reached out and grabbed him.

"You alright there? Uh… Drew Hayden?", a voice ringed in his ears. He looked up to his side, coming to face with a girl, who looked like she was just about his age, 17. She wore a yellow shirt with an orange skirt. Her hair was tied up into a bun, which looked like copper in the light.

Drew stood up and looked around. 'What the…? Where the hell am I?' Drew thought. There were dozens of two seat rows in front and back.

"Oooh! I heard that Drew! We're going to Forever! It's a great place!". She looked at him sparkles in her eyes. Drew looked at her, with his eyebrows raised.

"What the heck is that? Where is Forever? Never heard of it. And who are you?" Drew looked around. "oh never mind, I need to get back. When's the next stop? I need to go to LaRousse City." Drew started pacing. (A/N: The bus is automatic. No drivers needed.) The girl looked at him and laughed out loud, in a crazy way. Drew stared at her in bewilderment. Drew, annoyed, started walking to one of the window seats, and looked out. Though as hard as he tried to squint his eyes, all he could see were clouds.

He felt a tug to his left hand. He looked away from the window and put up a yes-what-do-you-want look on his face.

"You can't go back Drew. Forever is like a stop before you go to Heaven. You can stay there or you can move on and be reborn or turn into an angel. You're dead Drew." She said in a serious tone.

Drew was sweating, trying to remember what happened the last couple of hours before he woke up.

'It was May's birthday. I bought the perfect present for her… Ugh! My head hurts.' Sweats dropped from his face.

"NO! Drew! Don't remember! Let's be together! It's me, Brianna! After you and May left, I got sick! And I died! Drew, please don't leave! Please! Let's go together!" Brianna screamed, tears spilling from her eyes.

Drew was too busy trying to remember; busy enough to not hear what she was screaming.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Drew rushes down the sidewalk. He saw the walk sign and ran across to the other street, halfway there; he stopped and looked to his left. But as he looked, he was just centimeters away from the front of a car. Just seconds before he was hit, he saw the driver- it was Harley. Drew flew back, doing a back flip, and landed on his back. A box falls from his right hand, landing a couple of inches away. The box opened, revealing a necklace. The necklace shined in the light. It was diamond and crested heart, opening slightly revealing a picture of May and Drew hugging. Then… Darkness.

Drew widened his eyes, tears forming and falling from his emerald eyes. He grabs handful of hair in his hands.

"Drew!" Brianna cried.

"Shut up!" Drew spun around, facing her.

A black hole forms underneath his feet; he was already halfway in.

"Drew! Give me your hand! I need you! Don't leave me alone!" Brianna reached out her hand.

Drew looked at Brianna, with eye contact, putting on a determined look on his face; he spoke calmly, "NO! I NEED May! I CAN'T leave her ALONE!" Drew sank in. A force pulled Drew to his right. And then, it was white. Just white, blank.
