It was five till four and Gordo was late. He searched the house for his dad. While turning the corner he saw his dad at his desk. His mother jumped from the kitchen flashing a camera. He was wearing a black tuxedo and his hair was spiked up.

"AWW Honey you look so cute for your first dance!" His mom came and fixed his hair and tie.

"Ok, ok, mom...please!" He swatted her hands from him. "Dad may I take the GTO to-night?" He begged standing by the desk while his father looked up.

"Well...I don't know..." His father was very protective over that car.

"Come on! It's his first home coming!" His mom pushed.

"Well... Ok take good care of my baby." He said handing the keys to Gordo.

"Have fun baby." His mother called as he ran to the car.

When he arrived at her house she stepped out. He gasped at how beautiful she looked. Her hair was pulled up in a bun. She had a deep crimson velvet dress with a red crystal choker. Since they were in sixth grade and he had to pay attention to he clothes whenever she asked if she looked ok.

"Wow...you look beautiful." He told her opening her door for her.

"Thanks, you look handsome." Gordo rushed to the other side and pulled a box out.

"I love you." He said and handed her a pink box.

"I love you, too." She replied looking into his eyes. Inside the box was a red rose on a beautiful red silk ribbon. "Thank-you!" She hoped over and kisses him on the cheek. His face turned a light red.

The air out side had a strange smell. The smell of sun and rain in the distance as sun was just beginning to dim. They began to drive out her driveway.

"Where are your parents?" He asked driving.

"They're chaperoning. Oh my gosh it'll be so embarrassing." She giggled. Inside she was bursting with joy and she loved him so much she wanted to melt her soul with his and never leave. She leaned over on him and wrapped her arms around him. He moved his arm and stroked her back.

He only took his eyes off the road one second but one second was all it took. Out on the road, straight up head, a car was stalled. Later on he learned the engine was dead. Although his foot, by a miracle, found the break he knew it wouldn't stop them in time. By instinct he jerked the car too the right. The last thing he heard before he was unconscious was screaming tires and the busting glass. But one sound stayed in his mind to forever haunt his heart and ring in his ears, her scream.

It couldn't have been more than ten minutes. He looked up and saw people with cell phones and a huge tree that looked as if it had been molded into the car. His eyes filled with tears so blurry he could barely see. After wiping away the tears that flooded his face washing away the blood he saw her. Her angelic face was scarred with glass and the seat belt had cut her so deeply she was bleeding at her waist. She parted her lips to speak, "Hold me...just a little while..." She spoke so softly he could barely hear her.

He grabbed her and cradled her as if nothing had happened. He looked into her eyes and saw her crystalline tears beginning to flow. He wiped them away and bent down. His left hand held the back of her head and his hand was propped up on the car door. His right hand was tracing the out line of her chin. His lips softly touched hers and the slowly kissed goodbye. He lifted his head and held her hand that had the rose tied to it. He was so confused because he felt something in that kiss that made him come to life and burst out of his skin. Then he was also feeling horrible wondering what would happen next.

She closed her eyes for the last time. Tears flowed down her cheek for the last time. She breathed small breaths and a sigh for the last time.

"I love you...so much..." She heard him say for the last time.

Only when he saw her chest stay completely still did he let his own tears fall.

The paramedics open the car door and took her out of his arms. The sat her on a gurney. "Excuse me sir, will you please sit down?" They asked him but it did no good. He was looking at the car that was in the road. It was red small and- it was his friend's car. He ran up to it.

"Excuse me where are the owners of this car?" He asked looking around.

" Please sir sit down!" The paramedic yelled pulling him back to the car.

"No." He was afraid to go back to that car. He started pulling away but another paramedic strapped him down to the gurney and put him in the ambulance.

He couldn't struggle any more. A dizzying blackness enclosed his thoughts. In his darkness he could see a girl. Girl he knew forever. A girl he would love forever...

More to come...
