-The first chapter will be short but the others will be longer. I do not own anything that is familiar. I have written stories before but never posted them but after a request for a Birthday present I agreed to post this. I hope you enjoy this story. I will be posting the first two chapters together.
-The Poem that is used in this chapter I got from a fellow FanFiction writer who doesn't want her name being put in this, but she gets full credit for the poem. She is also helping me write this FanFiction but no matter how much I try she refuses for her name to be put on it so I only get half credit for this. (Not the same person who wanted the story.)
The crowd was silent as I walked across the stage. It was finally our senior year, we were all moving forward even though we faced hell. Reaching the podium I took a breath, it was time for moving forward once more.
"The end has come for our little group. We have all been through horrific events, hurdles that were at time to high to jump on our own. It seems just yesterday that we were all freshmen that had no idea what they were they were doing, didn't know what path they wanted. Juniors watching as their world crumbled from beneath us. I am glad to say that we are no longer lost, no longer confused as to what we are suppose to do. Pushing forward through the pain from a year ago. Over the past four years the staff at this school have taught me how to lead, be respectful and make it in the world that lays ahead of us all. They have given us all the skills to do so. So even if in the future you stumble, get lost, or break free and fly, know you have friends who will gladly walk with you through flames to get to the other side. There was once a wise person who told me some very wise words, I would like to share them with you all.
'Life ain't all rainbows.
It's dark and sinister,
Lightning and high winds,
Blacks and grays,
The pot of gold is on the other side,
Far out of reach it would seem,
But even with the black sinister clouds
And the gray colors and high winds,
You will make it to that pot of gold.
You will make it to that other side.'
At the time I didn't understand what they meant but now...now I know but its to late to tell them. Congratulations class of 2013 on making it this far, on taking the right steps to that other side. I hope you all find your pot of gold." with that the hats went up and every thing flew by after that, good byes were said, hugs and tears exchanged but non of it registered for me. Though the smiles were there they were fake on all of us. We lost so much that some of us will forever remember as the darkest day in our lives. The tears weren't for our accomplishments or the fact that it was a good bye, no it was for them. The good byes weren't fully directed to our friends and family but to them as well. Though it would appear all over we all knew it would never be. Looking out across the crowd of thirty I let my own tears fall. I was not fully alone in this world but non of it was an anchor for me, most of them if not all had family still, someone to come home to but me, I no longer had that luxury. Walking around I said farewell before leaving to head home, I wouldn't be going to that party, in the back ground as I walked away How Far We've Come, started to play. Starting the car I pulled out and drove off with out looking back. On my way home A semi ran a red light but it just barely missed me, but it did give me a heart attack. Pulling into my drive way I stepped out of the car and locked it. After entering the house I took a shower and went to bed not caring about anything else. I had a big day tomorrow, I would be getting ready to start college after all. The last thought I had that night was of my almost accident and how the lights and blaring of the horn rang in my ears.
