Zane looked out her bedroom window. It had been raining non-stop all day. She sighed and turned back to her book. Kujo by Stephen King. He had been her favorite author since she was twelve. Now she was twenty-two and reading all his books for the fifth time. Her german shepard trotted into the room and jumped on her bed putting his head in her lap and falling asleep. She stroked his soft fur. Riley was all she had left in her family. Her mother and father died in a car crash and her brother had died of cancer. She always had a secret fear of having it too. Especially since she hadn't been feeling too good for the past month. "You'll never leave me right boy? I don't know what I would do without you." She smiled weakly. She closed her book and layed down. it wasn't long before she closed her eyes and fell into a restless sleep. She had been having awful nightmares for around two weeks now.

She sat crying on the side of the road. "Please don't die! I need you! Please mommy! Please daddy!" The 10 year old girl cried at her parents side. She was in too much dismay to pay any attention to the large shard of glass stuck in her side. She and her parents had been in a fatal car crash. Drunk driver. She was in the back so the head on collison didn't effect her as much. but her parents on the other hand were majorly injured. She sat there sobbing as the paramedics covered them with a white sheet. She was lifted into the strecher and loaded into the ambulance. "I should have died too." She told the nurse. "Don't say that! You were kept alive for a reason. It was not your time to go. Think of it this way. your parents didn't suffer. And they are in heaven now. They are happy that you are still alive." The nurse put the last stitch in and her brother took her home. When she turned 16 her brother was diagnosed with cancer. At 18 he died. She was now all alone.

Zane shot up. "NO! Why did this happen!" She sat crying and Riley licked her face. He whimpered and put his head back in her lap. She looked at her clock. It was 5 A.M. She lifted Rileys head off of her and got up. She threw on a pair of shorts and a tanktop. She had a job interview at 8. She decided she might as well get ready since her alarm clock was going to go off in two hours. She went into the kitchen and poured herself a bowl of reeses puffs and filled Rileys food dish. She turned on the TV to the music channels to have some noise so that the house wasn't completly silent. When she finished with breakfast she went into the bathroom to brush her hair and teeth. She straightened her long black hair and did a little extra on her side bangs. She put her choppy hair up in a high ponytail and walked out of the bathroom. The song "Your Gaurdian Angel" By the red jumsuit apparatus was on. This was her all time favorite song.

"I will never let you fall

I will stand up with you forever

I will be there for you through it all

Even if saving you sends me to heaven"

She sang along. She changed her outfit to a black button up shirt and skinny denim jeans. She put on her black dressy wedges and threw on a necklace with a diamond heart that her brother gave her and the green emrald braclet her mother and father got her for her birthday. She looked at the clock again which now read 7:30 A.M. She went into her room where Riley was still sleeping on her bed and kissed his nose. "Be good love." She said in her strong australian accent. She had moved to new york after her brother died. She couldn't stand to be in the place anymore. The place where she lost her family. She got in her red corvett and drove to the hospital where her job interview was held. She went to medical school to become a doctor becasue she wanted to help other people to make up for the fact that she could not help her family. She pulled into the parking lot and got out of the car. SHe looked up at the huge hospital for a few seconds. "Well, this is it. Wish me luck guys." She said with her eyes up at the sky.
