Race Against Time
I am happy y'all like the summary. I decided to have the 1st chapter up so here it is...
Chapter 1
As 3 years went by, Troy and his friends are now 12, besides Chad who is 14. In grade 2, Chad failed, so now all Troy's friends are in grade 7. On this day 3 years ago, Troy, Lucy, Chad and Zak found out Gabriella is dead. Lucy was laying on her bed thinking about Gabriella. She replayed that night in her head over and over again.
"This is odd. Why would the hospital call me to tell me about Gabriella?" Lucy whispered to herself. Lucy got up and walked to the phone in her room. She kept the number on her phone, and she noticed it was a cell phone, "this odder..." Lucy decided to call the number, and she did.
"What do you want?" Lucy heard a girl's voice scream. She recognized the voice quickly. It was... Emma.
"Hi, is Gabriella there?" Lucy asked in a guy's voice.
"Ya... hold on" Emma sighed. Lucy heard screaming and a little girl whimpering
"H... hello?" a little girl whimpered. Lucy heard Gabriella close a door and her sliding down a wall.
"Hi Gabi. It's Lucy... Troy's mom" Lucy told her as tears slid down her face.
"Mommy?"
"Yes sweetie" Lucy heard Gabriella slowly crying but she knew it was because she was happy and scared.
"I love you mommy. How did you get Emma's cell number?"
"She must have got someone to call, because 3 years ago today, the guy called me saying... you died"
"Mommy, I tried to kill myself, but the doctors saved me in time. They said they work for Emma and Jake. Emma took me away from Greg and Stephanie 2 years ago. They were trying to save me, but now..." Lucy heard Gabriella was trying to breathe, but couldn't.
"Shh... sweetie. Shh, it's ok. So Emma and Jake found out Greg and Stephanie, were trying to save you... right?"
"Yes"
"So they took you away"
"Yes and we moved"
"Where did you move to?"
"Mmm... Alaska"
"Why?"
"Something about being safe and they could kill me without people knowing"
"Oh sweetie. Don't do anything for them to have a reason. It will be ok hunny"
"I love you mommy"
"I love you too" Lucy saw her door open, and saw Troy walk in, "what happened to him?"
"Jack?"
"Yes"
"Jack tried to save me from Jake shooting me. Jack blocked the path and got hit instead"
"When was that?"
"Last year" Lucy heard Gabriella whimpering as Troy crawled onto her bed, so she did the same, since her phone is cordless.
"It's ok hunny. It's not your fault"
"You're not mad?"
"No hunny. I can never be mad at you"
"I love you"
"I love you too"
"How's Troy?"
"Would you like to talk to him?"
"Ok" Lucy passed Troy the phone with a smile.
And that's the next of the 1st chapter. What did you think? And I was wondering, if and when I get this series publish and everything, would you buy it and would you like me to turn the swear words into symbols? For example... FUCK= F#$.
Anyway, please answer that question and please review the chapter.
