My Story After Ice Age 3:
It was almost midnight on a Tuesday before my Biology and Geometry tests so I wanted a lot of sleep for that night. Somehow I woke up to a phone call even though my mom had turned the volume to low. I answered it, sensing something was up. I picked up the phone to my horror to find that Ryuu's father had just when killed in a car crash when he was returning home from work because he worked some night hours. He was calling from the police station and apparently it had been on the news. He was going up for adoption being only 14 ½ if no one agreed to be his foster parents in the area. I told him I wouldn't let this happen to him. I told him I'll call him back and quickly got down his phone number. My first impulse was to go to Theresa or the other lady next door. I decided to head over to the older lady since Teresa already had her hands full with getting Aaron ready for middle school. I wasn't sure what her name was but I knew that she was nice. I got dressed and snuck out without my mother knowing and went over to her house to see her light on. I knocked franticly at her door. When I told her what I had heard she said that not only would she foster Ryuu, but she would adopt him and allow his 2 fish tanks from home into her house. My heart leaped for joy and I was thrilled to see it the next day after school all arranged. My mom was also a little worried but happy for me when I told her. I was sure my life would change now that Ryuu would be next door. He was moving in with her by next week, starting with moving his things on Sunday!
It was a Friday and the next day I was looking forward to going to my new friend Rebecca's house tomorrow though it would be our first time and I felt like we shared little in common. She had no pets and was terrible at computers yet in the pick-up area I had met her. Surprisingly, she suggested that we be friends. She was a quiet girl who loved reading stories about the dead and listening to classical music for hours which I felt was a little strange. I was in a fairly good mood after spending time with her that Saturday. She had exchanged interests and found that we both had MySpaces (we exchanged user names) and found out she liked horses a lot. Rebecca also only had us listen to classical music 1/3 of the time though she had excessively talked about it when I met her. Her mom decided to drive me home without her daughter since she had a lot of homework which I agreed to. It was midday and about 2/3 of the way home we were approaching a ramp to go onto the highway. The area looked safe, only a few cars around us. She turned and off the side a black car being moved by a large semi truck pushing it with a lone driver screaming inside came heading straight for us. I screamed as Rebecca's mother dodged to try to break through a wooden fence for an abandoned construction site as saw my life flash before my eyes. However, the truck was headed for us at least 60 miles per hour and we didn't make it. I jumped out of the car as Rebecca's mother was instantly killed and the car torn to wreckage. I tried to get up, with no idea where I had landed, stunned by having fallen on the grass from a speeding car. I had just a split second to see what had happened to the car and my friend's mom before about 40 feet away from me. I screamed as the semi truck that had somewhat slowed when it went through the fence and hit a second car went straight for me. I jumped clear of the truck, running on pure adrenalin but the first car that was being pushed by the truck with the now dead driver broke off. I started to jump but had almost no chance and the truck and hit my head, instantly killing me but not before I go a glimpse of who was in the truck. The same face that killed Ryuu's father on the news that hadn't been successfully caught by police yet was the one in the semi truck. He looked determined, ready to kill yet he was on drugs and I knew he would have no memory of killing us and from his past records, was probably hallucinating on an illegal drug.
