A young man is playing his guitar and singing, 'Bella' by Ricky Martin. He is staring at a picture of Dawn, never taking his eyes off her.
Another man around his mid-forties goes and sits next to him.
"Wow son, I think you may be as good as 'Ricky Martin'.
The young man doesn't look at his father, just stares at the picture. "She's gone," he says, trying to keep his tears at bay.
"What do you mean Jack?" asks his father.
"Nothing" Jack says simply.
Jason was a handsome, muscular young man at 20. He is a man who expresses his feelings and emotions through music. He keeps it to himself, trying not to sound weak. He had a crush on Dawn ever since she moved to Rome, two years ago. He had kept his feelings towards Dawn a secret, fearing rejection and risk losing his friendship to Dawn.
He remembers when he first heard about Dawn's death:
A t.v. is turned on to the news. Jason was exercising, doing sit-ups. A reporter is talking about recent events. "In other breaking news, a young woman by the name of 'Dawn Summers, age 19' has tragically died this evening. The police are still investigating on the cause of her death." The reporters exchange their feelings. Jason froze when he heard Dawn's name. He stayed in his sit-up position for a few minutes, unable to grasp what he had heard.
"No" Jason whispered.
He turns his head towards the tv. He gets up, repeating 'no' while he is walking to the tv. He stared at it for what seemed like hours to him, but actually was only seconds. Filled with rage and sorrow, he screams. He kicks the television, smashing it to the floor. He breaks all of his fine china dishes and throwing everything that wasn't glued down. He breaks down and cries, his body shaking uncontrollably.
His father looks at him, unsure. He waves his hand in front of Jason's face. Jack snaps back to reality.
"Sorry." Jason states "I was just thinking."
"About what?"
"I have to go do something", ignoring his father's question. He stands up, heading for the door.
"Son,"
Jason pauses, not looking at him.
"Whatever it is, whatever you're going through, it'll get better.
"I'm not so sure about that." Jason whispers, and continues out.

Author's note: Thanks for reading. If you haven't heard Ricky Martin's song, 'Bella', I highly recommend that you listen to it. I think it's such a beautiful song.
