Chapter 2

Such a horibble day I wish it never happened... ~Blu Jay

I sat up in my bed and nearly started to cry.

Today was the day. I thought.

"Blu, get down here this instant," Dad yelled from downstairs.

I pulled my sky-blue covers off of me then got out of bed. I quickly remade it then walked over to my closet and pulled out a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. I quickly threw them on and ran downstairs to the kitchen. Mom, Dad, and Tom, my brother, were sitting at the kitchen table. Tom was eating a bowl of cereal, Mom was sitting next to Dad with a blank expression, and Dad sat there talking about what was going to happen today.

"Good, now Blu's here," Dad said.

Mom forced me a smile, and Tom just looked up at me then went back to eating -half-heartedly stirring around- his cereal.

"Blu, sit down," Dad commanded.

I sat down obediently.

"Okay. So, Blu, under no circumstances are you allowed to inform her of what is going to happen this afternoon."

"She has a name," Tom snapped bodly at Dad, standing up for the girl he had had a huge crush on, A.K.A my best friend.

"Fine. Under no circumstance is Blu to inform Amber in any way of what is going to happen?" Dad growled.

Tom smirked, and I smiled.

Dad shot us both deadly glances.

"Blu, just go with what I told you," Dad barked, as he stood up and walked out of the house.

"Hey, Amber can I have the window seat?" I asked my best friend, as we got on the bus that afternoon after school.

"Sure." Amber shrugged, thinking nothing of the question.

I shot a glance at the bus driver wearing his thick glasses that said you-know-what-you-need-to-do. We quickly shuffled our way to the back of the bus. I plopped down next to the window and gently lay my head against the warm glass. Then I 'fell asleep'.

Amber's scream made me aware of what was going on. The school bus was lying on its side, me and Amber's side, in a ditch. There was a rock and lots of bits of glass in my head. There was lost of blood too. I heard the bus driver call out asking if everyone was alright in his rough voice. I heard the bus driver make his way over to me and Amber after he heard her screams. The bus driver pulled out his cell phone and dialed 911. He started going on about the bus crashing and about how I had the rock and glass in my head. Next thing I knew, there were sirens blaring in the backround. Amber's screams and wails almost blocked them out all together. I just continued to lie there silently, just as Dad had told me to. Then I was loaded into the ambulence. I was getting separated from Amber.

"Blu!" Amber screeched desperately.

I moved my head to look at her.

"I love you, Amber. Remember, we're best friends. Forever," I said as loud as I could back.

Those last words Amber ever got to hear me say, nine little words, would help Amber through the coming years... I hoped. ~Blu Jay
