Hi Everyone This is my version of Paper Towns by John Green. It's a mini-fic of 10 chapters, I hope you enjoy it.

English is not my native language, so I really appreciate that if you find any grammatical error, please tell me.


The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle. Like, I will probably never be struck by lightning, or win a olympic gold medal, or sing with Taylor Swift, or spontaneously combust. But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to each of us. I could have seen it rain meatballs (something Hanna would love). I could have stepped foot on The Moon. I could have been eaten by a my sister (I'm glad that I'm only child). I could have married the queen of Jordan or survived a Tsunami. But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Pennsylvania, I ended up living next door to Alison Lauren Dilaurentis.

Our subdivision, used to be a Air Force base where my dad worked until He was sent to Iraq. But then the USAF didn't need it anymore, so it returned the land to the citizens of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who decided to build a massive subdivision.

My mom and Alison's parents ended up moving next door to one another just after the first houses were built. Alison and I were two.

So Alison and I were nine. Our parents were friends, so we would sometimes play together, swimming in the lake, biking past the forest , the hub of our subdivision.

I always got very nervous whenever I heard that Ali was about to show up, on account of how she was the most fantastically gorgeous creature that God had ever created. On the day in question, she wore white shorts and a Cyan T-shirt that featured a squirtle with sunglasses of silver glitter. It is difficult to explain how awesome I found this T-shirt at the time.

One day Alison Showed up early with her Pink bike. I asked my mom to permission to go on a ride with Ali. She wasn't very happy about the idea, but after all She let me go after I promised her that I would come back before the sun goes down.

We biked standing up with our arms locked as we leaned above the handlebars, It was our third bike race that week and for once Ali was gonna win. It was a hot day in August. The sky was clear, the sun shined and everything seemed perfect, at least until Ali suddenly stopped and I hit her and we ended up in the ground.

Unfortunately I ended up right arm Alison and I heard her screaming in pain. I got up quickly and helped her to stand up.

-Ali, are you okay?- I asked concern.

She smiled slightly and although she did not remove her left hand from her right elbow, she said she was fine, she was clearly lying but I didn't want to contradict her after I saw her face turned pale.

I looked behind me and a few meters from us, there was a boy, he must have the same age of Jason, the older Alison's brother. But there was something wrong with him…something I didn't know until Ali said those words.

-Emily- Alison said calmly- He's dead.

She smiled slightly and although she did not remove her left hand from her right elbow, she said she was fine, she was clearly lying but I didn't want to contradict her after I saw her face turned pale.

I looked behind me and a few meters from us, there was a boy, he must have the same age of Jason, the older Alison's brother. But there was something wrong with him…something I didn't understand until Ali said those words.

"Emily"- Alison said calmly- "He's dead".

My eyes focused on him, He was leaning against a tree trunk. His eyes were open and seemed like made of glass, His mouth was ajar and the corners of his lips, had dried blood.

I took two small steps backward and I fell over our bikes, But Alison did the oposite, she took a couple of steps forward, until she was too close to the corpse.

"Wegottagohome," I said.

"Don't be such a crybaby," She said. "He can't do anything to us, He's gone"

"Aliwegottagohome,"

"I thought you closed your eyes when you died," She said, ignoring my pleas

"Aliwegottagohomeandtell."

She took another step. She was close enough now to reach out and touch her body "What do you

think happened to him?" she asked. "Maybe it was drugs, suicide or something else."

"AliwegottagohomeandtellNOW."

"You're right, it's getting late and I don't wanna your mom get mad at us, I don't wanna lose you ." She said.

I didn't want to lose her either ,but as soon as We get home, We told my mom what was happened. After that day, Alison's parents sent her with her grandma in Georgia and I didn't see her until our first day in High School. But then, everything had changed.
