My Night Of Death, My Day Of Life--Chapter 1
"Bella, honey we'll be back by 11:30 at the latest. Nicole and Derick can come over if they want to, but no one else. Do you hear me?" my mom asked me jiggling my locked door.I walked over to the door and opened it."Mom, don't you trust me, I've never thrown wild parties or snuck boys in, much less sneak out.""Well I guess your right, its just hard being able to trust a 17 year old as much as I do.""Renee! Were going to be late if we don't leave now! I mean were bound to run into traffic.""I'll be there in a minute Phil." She yelled towards the stairs. Then she leaned down to me and kissed each cheek."I love you, I'll see you tonight or tomorrow morning.""Ok... I love you to, now go before Phil explodes" I said laughing at the thought of it. Its not that I don't like Phil, I mean he's great... for my mom. He just doesn't know how to act around me. He just doesn't know how to be a my mom and Phil left, I got my phone out of my rolling stones bag to call Nicole. Nicole and I have been best friends since 1st grade. I really don't have very many friends, its only Nicole and Derick. Derick is out best guy friend, mostly because he's gay and we were the only ones with open arms on his first day of our freshmen I called Nicole, her mom picked up."Hello?" Mrs. Anderson said."Hey, Mrs. Anderson, its Bella. Um... is Nicole there?" I asked shocked that Nicole didn't have her cell phone on her."Oh Bella, she made a 70 on her pre-calculus test and Mr. Anderson took her phone away, then I was talking to Mrs. Johnson while doing the dishes and my phone slipped and fell down in the garbage disposal.""Well, is she there?" I asked trying not to sound impatient."Oh... No she's at Derick's, I was just talking to them on the phone when you called. They said they were about to call you." just then I had an incoming call from Derick."Oh, that's them on the other line. Well thanks and I'll talk to you later Mrs. Anderson. Bye." I said and hung up as she said bye.I switched lines and said "hey guys...""Hey Bells." they both said at the same time."My mom and Phil left to go out... do you guys want to come over... we can do a Friday night movie night?""Sure. We'll be at your house in 3... 2...1" Derick said as soon as the doorbell rang.I ran down stairs so fast I ran into the front door and fell. The door opened and I saw Derick leaning over me and Nicole running into the Kitchen. I felt Derick's strong, muscular arms wrap around my narrow body and then I blacked out.
