I always thought my life was simple.
Friends were never a problem for me. I don't know if it was because of the latest designer clothes I wore or because my boyfriend was the head football player star of the school, but I always manage to be surrounded by numerous people. Everyone seems to want to become my friend but I never really became close to anyone.
Family wasn't problem ether.
Being blessed with two wonderful loving parents and a pretty white dog named Feather filed my life at home with joy and happiness. I was one of the rare teenage girls at my school to have a red sport car and a list full of privilege granted by my parent. Anything I wanted, I got, though I wasn't greedy.
Even my grades were rank top of the school, which help me achieve a scholarship in the top five universities of America. Everyone wanted my help for their assignment and because of my leadership and my devotion to others, I was named president of the class three years in a row.
My boyfriend of four years, Joey Serling, was one of the most popular, hottest, sweetest guys in all of school. Every girl in school wanted him and every guy wanted to be him. We were named couple of the year all four year that we were together. Though we were a couple for that long, he never pressures me into more then just kissing. He was an excellent boyfriend and everyone envied me for being so lucky as to have him.
At prom night, I was crown the millennium queen and honour with the trophy of grates achievement whit next to me as a king, my sweet boyfriend Joey. We then shared on the dance floor a romantic dance that every little girl dreamed to have.
But my life wasn't a dream.my life was very real.
My life was simple.
My life was successful.
My life was filed with love.
My life was perfect.
Until that day.
Thinking about that tragic day, the day my entire life collapse. the day a part of me died. the day my heart was crushed still bring tear of pain and sorrow to my eyes.
In one small, single day, everything that mattered to me was taken away.
The memory of that day, the pain of my heart will be forever engraved in my head, never letting me
forget the last words that cost me.my life.

"Mom, are you sure about this", asked a rather worried girl to her mother.
Still wearing her light blue pajamas and her golden hair down, she kept following her mother trough the big 4 bedroom house they own.
"Mom, I don't think you and dad should go", she continued, trying to keep her mother at sigh, "I have a really bad feeling about this."
Her mother stood near the entry, placing a rather big black suitcase down on the floor, giving the white marble floor a look of being stained.
"Now Serena, honey, you know how much this trip is important to your father. Beside, we're only going to be gone for a week or so."
"But mom."
"No buts young lady", her mother told her with a little more force then she intended to.
Seeing the feeling of hurt cross her daughters face, she added more softly:
"Sugar, I know you don't want us to go but if it console you, we'll call you as soon as we arrive at the hotel."
She took her daughter in her warm embrace and gave her a kiss on her forehead. Then smiling sweetly at
her she added.
"What do you say about that?"
The look of worry still painted on Serena's face she asked in a defied tone.
"How long will it take before you arrive there?"
Before her mother could answer her, a loud hunk was heard from outside. Taking her suitcase in one hand and her purse in the other, she quickly made her way to the front door.
"It won't take more then three and a half hours, four at the top. Now sweetie, your father is waiting for me in the car."
Then giving her one last kiss she added softly.
"I love you pumpkin."
And she was out the door.
************************************
Five hours later, she started filing concerned. Why addend they call her already.
After seven hours, she was angry with them. 'They told me they would call and they didn't.'
Hours later she was really worried. It was far past super time and she hadn't eaten anything all day. But the thought of food made her stomach turn upside down.
To calm her nerves she decided to take a nice warm bath. After putting some of her favourite soap in the large bathtub, she went in the warm soothing water and let her muscle relax from all her day's stress.
After about an hour or so, she got out of the now cold water and barely add time to put a towel around her dripping body when the phone in the always rang.
She ran as fast as her feet could manage and breather out a sight of relief. 'Finally'
Picking up the receiver, she blurted out, anger rising from her voice.
"Its about time you call", but stop dead in her track when she heard a voice say hesitantly.
"Hum.sorry?"
It wasn't her parents. She felt her checks turn red whit embarrassment.
"I'm sorry miss, I thought you were someone else."
"Miss Thompson?" ask the lady rather seriously.
"Yes, its me"
"We have some bad new about your parents", said the voice whit a hint of sadness.
'My parents? What happened? Where are they?'
So many questions swirled through her mind but she couldn't find the force to say them out loud.
"Your parents were in a car accident.they.they died on their way to the hospital. I'm sorry Miss", added the women with sorrow.
But Serena was too far-gone to ear her.
Her parents were.
Dead.
*************************************
A week had past since the dreadful accident but she could barely recall what happen during that period of time. The only thing that engraved it self in her soul was the pain.
Pain of losing her parents.
Pain of losing a part of her.
Pain of losing her life.
She could imagine more pain then the one she was experiencing right now.
She was wrong.
*************************************
Lying down in bed, trying to make the agony of her heart go away, she started writing what she felt inside on a sheet of white paper.
Hot tear was looming down her cheeks, soaking the paper in the process but she couldn't care less.
She was about to give up on her writing when the doorbell rang.
She got up and whit the little strength that she ad left in her, she made her way to the front door. Opening it very slowly she found her boyfriend Joey standing in front of her whit a worried expression on his features.
She could help but feel relive to still have I'm by her side. 'At least I'm not alone'
He didn't make any attempt to approach her. He stood there watching her intently and before she could
question him, he told her ratter sheepishly.
"Serena, we need to talk."
She barely ad time to acknowledge is statement when he blurted out in a rather loud tone.
"I think we should see other people."
She could have sworn that the earth ad collapse under her. She felt a sharp stab of pain shout trough her heart. Her head kept swirling around and her throat felt dry and sore.
She was barely able to ask the question that her mind kept repeating. It was haunting her.
"Why?"
She could feel is gaze shift to the floor, as he explained weakly why he didn't want to be part of her life anymore.
"To many things has change lately. And with me going to college to play pro football, I can't do this right now."
She felt dizzy.
She couldn't talk.
She couldn't breath.
She couldn't move.
The pain was killing her slowly. She could feel it devour her heart and make its way to her very soul.
" I'm sorry Rena, I really am," he told her with sadness in is voice. "Take care of your self, ok. I love you."
And with that he was gone. But the hurt and the suffering didn't go away whit him. It staid whit her and shredded her soul to pieces.
I love you
Those haunted words kept repeating itself in her mind. She hated those words.
I love you
'I'll never love again.'
