Chapter 8-

She laughs as I push her on the swings; she may be my older sister but she always loved the swings. I'd always loved to push her. We'd hardly ever fought. We were the best of siblings.

She was so sweet, loving, and caring. Why would anyone want to take her away from this world?

"Hey, Rai, you want to go to the mall with me?" she asks, stopping the swing, "I need a dress for prom."

I nod. I hate shopping but it was always worth it when I was with her.

"You're going with Ryan right?" I ask as we get into her car, she'd just bought it. It wasn't that great but it was hers and she loved that thing the moment she'd set eyes on it.

She nods happily, thinking out loud, "Maybe we'll get married someday."

"Yeah, maybe," I tell her and laugh.

She laughs too, "and you'll get some cute little nieces and nephews."

I laugh, I liked that idea.

Now I'll never have that opportunity. I'll never be an uncle. She'll never get married or have any kids.

The mall was crowded, but that was normal. We went into her favorite store and she picked out dresses. She insisted that I should help. I sighed but tried anyway. She laughed at all of my choices. Her final decision was a little pink satin dress; I know it may sound ugly but it was really pretty and that's coming from me.

"You want to get some dinner," she asked, "I think mom and dad are eating out tonight."

"Are you buying?" I ask her, I don't have anymore money; I spent the rest of my allowance.

"For you, I will," she laughed.

"Then of course," I told her.

"All right where do you want to go?" she asked.

It took awhile but we finally decided on Taco Bell; she loves that stuff and it's cheap.

The whole way there we kept talking about her prom. She was so excited. It was still about a month away but that type of stuff never got her down.

We waited in line still talking excitedly.

Someone bumped into her.

"Oh, Mark, hey," she said smiling.

He was her ex.

"Can I talk to you a minute?" he asked, glancing at me. "alone."

"Sure," she smiled kindly at him, she turned to me, "I'll just be a moment. You want to order for us?"

I nodded and she handed me the money. A chill crept up my spine as they went outside. I shook it off.

I ordered and sat patiently with our food at my favorite table.

She never came back in.

Several minutes later I heard gun shots. Several people shout out in surprise. I had a bad feeling; with some of the other customers we went outside.

What I saw still haunts my nightmares. She was dead… dead…I kept repeating it in my head. But I just didn't want it to be true. Why'd it have to be true?

She was my sister. I loved her. She had everything going for her. She was going to be a veterinarian. Now, she'll never be anything… but dead. She was my sister.

Her name was Julia.
