I'm sorry for this A/N, but I'm writing this to let you know my stories are on hold. I'm doing a dedication story to my friend I lost today.

Early this morning, around 4 A.M. my friend was sleeping in her room in Mississippi, when a tree fell on her house, and unfortunately, her bedroom, which she was sleeping in.

She was going to celebrate a birthday with me this Tuesday, August 11th. We were both going to be 15, now it's only me. It's going to be tough for me for these next few weeks, maybe months.

Please be patient with me. It's taken me a lot of strength just to write this A/N. It's really shaken me up.

I got a call this morning from one of my friends telling me she had died. I moved to Arkansas recently, so I didn't hear about it until 10 A.M. and I was in band practice. When I heard, I broke down and was going into shock. I'm fine now and trying to put on a brave face for my family, but it's hard.

Me and my friend were joined at the hip in 6th grade. That's when I met her, but we grew apart but she was still a huge part of my life. She was only 14 and she was so young.

Please pray for me and her family. I'm not going to give any names away, but still pray for me. This is the third death I've had to encounter in this year, and if you ask me, 3 is too many. Hell, 1 is too many. I'm still not over the last death that has hit me. Please be patient with me and I promise to try to get started on my stories again, but my healing process can't be rushed.

I was fixing to start again today, but her death hit me like a bus. It hurts and new wounds have open.

And her death has taught me something. Tell your mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins, grandparents, friends, enemies, everyone close to you; tell them how much you care about them, because one day you could go home, go to sleep and plan on seeing them the next day, but in reality, you might not. I haven't spoken to her in almost a year, and I'm really regretting it now. That girl knew how to make everyone smile and laugh. And live your life to the fullest because you never know when it could be your last day.

And I'd like all my fans to know while I'm in this healing process, I'm going to start a new story about losing a friend. It's called "Life is Short". It's about losing a friend and it's, of course, for Twilight.

It's going to show a lot of the emotions I'm feeling right now. It will be good and will be the only story I'm will work on currently. It won't be long, maybe 3 to 5 chapters, more or less. I haven't really planned it out.

And as some of you may have noticed, I've deleted some of my stories. Why? Because some of them were just too difficult to keep a storyline and right now I'm too stressed out to do so many. Maybe I'll start them up again when I'm done with my others.

Okay, that's just about it! Oh, and my birthday is Tuesday, August 11th, which you know from earlier in this note, and it really makes my day when people tell me happy birthday, and I'm really going to need that on my birthday cause it's going to be hard without my friend celebrating it with me.

Keep me and my friend's family in your prayers and I hope to get better to start writing again. I love you guys!
