A Walk To Remember
"Hey look guys, Eddie's here!" Emmett shouted.
"Wow look at his new ride" Said Alice.
"Hmm, maybe I'll get to be the first one to mess up his backseat." Tanya adds with a smirk.
The group laughs at Tanya's last comment. She was most defiantly the sluttiest of their "gang", which consisted of: Edward, Rose, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, James, Victoria, and Laurent. They were all out for one mission: to ruin the town's reputation.
Edward stepped out of his shiny new Volvo and walked towards them.
"Hey Eddie, where'd you get the new ride?" Jasper asked.
"Oh, I have my ways." He responded with a wink.
Laughter fills the deserted parking lot. This was their favorite hang-out spot, and so far they had not been caught trespassing.
"Ohh, my Eddie stole a car. Such a bad-boy." Tanya wrapped her arms around his waist and they started making out. Whistles filled the empty atmosphere. Couples were always changing, and so far Alice and Jasper had made the new record for longest time. They weren't breaking up anytime soon.
"Hey, when's that new kid supposed to come" James asked, while Victoria ran her hands down his chest.
"Anytime."
Suddenly a white van pulled in the parking lot. Mike Newton jumped out, trying to look cool, but not succeeding. He had no idea what he was getting himself into.
"What's up guys."
They smirked at him as he tried to act like them. But there was only one way to find out if he had the guts to hang with them. One way.
"Follow me, shorty." Edward called over his back as he started to walk towards the lake.
Mike had to practically jog to keep pace with Edward. Once they were out of hearing distance Edward said to Mike:
" Hey man what your going to do is simple. See that bridge? Your going to jump off, its not as bad as it seems, we all did it. Water's deep, no worries: just get it over with and you can be one of us."
Mike was obviously nervous, but he nodded.
"And hey, I will be standing next to you when you jump."
He nodded and they both climbed up to the bridge. Soon they were standing on the edge. The gang started to whistle and holler, giving him encouragement.
Mike stared down into the black water below. I'm glad that's not me, Edward thought. Mike took a step back and flung himself over the bridge.
There was a moment of suspense but then release as he slipped into the water. The gang started clapping and screaming. Edward turned around and retreated to where they were. But when he looked he saw no sign of Mike. Suddenly everyone started calling out his name.
That was when Laurent shouted, " He's over there! Look guys! I think he's hurt!"
They saw Mike's head floating above the water. He didn't move an inch. Rose and Alice started screaming.
"What are we going to do?"
"Somebody help him!"
Edward took his shirt off and just as he was about to jump in after him, a noise that made everything stop in its tracks.
A police siren.
" We gotta get the hell out of here!"
"Hurry! To the trucks!"
What was he supposed to do? Leave him there? Ah, what the hell. Edward turned around and ran to his car. About four cars were also in the parking lot. They barely had time to escape.
So they left Mike to his unknown fate.
