Chapter 6: Remembrance
Jim, Melinda, Andrea & Dan walked the shore line of the beach. They finished eating dinner and were walking back to the house which was just up the block "Anybody up for a a late boat ride? Looks nice out there tonight" Jim said. "Maybe tomorrow night. I'm beat" Dan said. "I'm exhausted. I had to work earlier today so tomorrow" Andrea said. "I'm up for it" Melinda smiled. Jim smiled "Ok come on. We'll see you guys later" Jim said. "Ok see you later" Dan said. Melinda & Jim both walked away and walked over to the docks in silence. Jim helped her into the boat "Thank you" Melinda said. Jim got in the boat. Melinda sat down at the passenger seat and Jim sat in the driver's seat and started the boat up. "You ok. Your quiet" Jim said. "Yeah. Just thinking" Melinda said. "About what" Jim said as the boat started to move at a fast speed. "Yeah just some work stuff" Melinda lied, she was really thinking about earlier. "Your on vacation and your thinking of work" Jim said and laughed. "Well I'm sorry I can't help it" Melinda said. Jim stopped the boat and turned it off. "It's nice out here" Melinda said as she looked up at the sky. Jim stared at her "Yeah it is" Jim said. Melinda got up and went to lay down on the deck on the boat. Jim got up and laid next to her. They both stared at the sky. It was silent for sometime. Jim kept moving his hand closer to her hand.
"Do you remember that time we all went to River City and we all went on River Rapids" Jim said. Melinda laughed "Yeah you had to fight with me to go on that ride and I would only go on if you went on with me and you had to fight with the ride attendant to let us go on together" Melinda laughed. "How can I forget that" Melinda smiled.

A group of seventeen year olds stood in line at River Rapids "I'll meet you guys down there" Melinda said. Andrea, Jim & Rachel went to get on the ride when Jim heard Melinda say that. Jim stopped getting in "Why? What's wrong" Jim asked as Melinda started to leave the line "I don't want to go on it now" Melinda said, she seemed a little scared. "Melinda, come on you'll be fine" Jim said. "No that's ok. You go on" Melinda said, she turned to walk away. Jim took her hand "No, come on Melinda. Go on. Dan will be right with you" Jim said. "No" Melinda said. Jim sighed "Why don't you really wanna go on" Jim said. "I'm scared ok. That's a huge drop" Melinda said. "It's going to be fine. Your gonna fine" Jim said. "Listen man, we can't wait any longer for you" the ride attendant said. "Listen man, just give me a minute" Jim said with an attitude. "I'll only go on if I go with you" Melinda said. "Ok" Jim said. "Sorry man, she has to go on the next ride" the attendant said. "Why" Jim said. "We are going in ticket number" the attendant said. "That just let somebody take my place" Jim said. The attendant sighed "We can't do that" he said. "Look man, she's has a ticket and she wants to go on with me. Nobody else. Just let somebody take my place" Jim said, he was starting to really fight with this guy. "UGH fine" the attendant said. The attendant let some other person take Jim's place. The ride started to take off. Jim & Melinda got into the next ride. The ride started to move a second later "I shouldn't have let you talk me into this Jim" Melinda said in a scared voice. Jim put his arms around her "Your going to be fine" Jim said. "Ok" Melinda said. Melinda seen the big drop coming "I wanna get off" Melinda said in a panic voice. "Shh it's ok. I'm right here" Jim said in a soothing voice. Jim kept his one arm around her while he grabbed onto the bar to hold on. Melinda screamed as they dropped. Water splashed all over them and even on the people standing on the bridge expecting to get wet. "You ok" Jim asked. Melinda nodded "But never again" she said. "Ok the important thing is you tried" Jim said. Melinda had her fingers around Jim's fingers. Jim got out of the ride and helped Melinda out.

"You know Steve & I went there last summer and he tried ballistically to get me on that ride but I wouldn't go on" Melinda said. Jim laughed "So he went on by himself" Jim said. "Damn right" Melinda said. Jim laughed. Melinda laughed. They both stopped laughing. They were both quiet for a minute "So how long has been since........" Melinda started to say. Jim knew exactly what she was talking about and interuppted her "7 years" Jim said. "It's still hard to believe she's gone" Melinda said. "Yeah it is" Jim said. "I miss her" Melinda said. Their friend Rachel was one of the victims of a school shooting that happened at their school. She was pronounced dead before she was even rushed to the hospital. "Remember in the library that day, we got into that stupid argument about our SAT's scores" Jim said. "How can I forget" Melinda said.

Jim & Melinda sat in the library, it was their free period. "Wait. How is your score better" Melinda said. "I got a 1450" Jim said. "Our scores are one number apart, so what" Melinda said. Jim laughed "Yeah and my score is better" Jim said. "Ok fine, your score is better. There happy" Melinda said, she seemed upset. "Melinda, there still good scores. Both are good scores" Jim said. "Oh shut up. I should of done better then you. I studied for this. I bought all the damn books on SAT questions" Melinda said. "It's one point then what I have, so what" Jim said. "So what? My score matters, I want to get into a good college" Melinda said. "You still will" Jim said. Melinda sighed "Oxford is not going to take me with this score and NO this is not about being one point apart now" Melinda said in a annoyed voice. Jim sighed "They don't just look at........" Jim started to say but was interuppted by the intercom "Everyone remain calm, this is not a weather drill. Help is on the way just stay where you are and stay down" the guy said in the intercom. Melinda looked at Jim with a puzzled look on her face "What is going on" Melinda asked. The drill light blinked three times on the wall. "Was it blinking three times mean" Melinda asked. Jim looked at the handbook. "Come on, we got to hide" Jim said. Jim quickly grabbed Melinda's arm and pulled her between the book cases and sat on the floor "Jim, what is going on" Melinda said. Just as Jim was about to say something a scream and a gun shot was heard. Melinda's face turned from calm to scared. Jim's face was full a fear but he pulled Melinda close to him and put his arm around her "We're going to be fine" Jim whispered softly. Melinda nodded and buried her face in his shirt.

"That still remains the day I was the scardiest" Melinda said. "Me too" Jim said. Melinda sat up "I try not to think about it but it's hard not to" Melinda said and sighed. "I know, I think about it everyday and I'm thankful that you and I are alive and safe" Jim said. Jim sat up. Melinda looked at Jim "I feel the same way" Melinda said. "That's good to know" Jim said. Melinda smiled and then drew a straight face "You know we have been through alot together including today" Melinda blushed. Jim smiled "Yeah I guess we have" Jim smirked. They both moved into kiss and got lost in the moment.
