It was about a week after the skiing accident. Everyone was going on with their lives. Jo and Lighting usually lift weights together in the school gym. Gwen and Noah went to reading everything that they could get their hands on. Owen would always eat. He was about twice the size that he used to be. Izzy, well she is still Izzy. Blainley would go shopping and lately has been taking Zoey with her. Leshawna, Cody, and Ezekiel would hang out at the local malt shop with Owen, yet they didn't eat as much as Owen would. Trent became socially isolated from everyone. No one talked to him and he didn't talk to anyone. He would just repeat the following sentences, "Why, why did I see them all dying? Why couldn't I save Mike? Why is this all happening?" Everyone tried to get him back to the way he was, even Gwen tried. No one could help him.

The images kept repeating in his head, Blainley's face splitting in two, Leshawna being sliced in half, a piece of the chair going through Cody, Owen, Izzy, and Lighting falling to their deaths, Zoey, Mike, and Ezekiel slamming against a pole or mountain, Noah and Jo getting impaled, and Gwen and himself falling together. He remembers the last thing he said to her. I love you. It was true of what he said, he loved her. Yet, Trent wasn't 100% sure that she loved him back. She never said it to him at their final moment. She might love him back, she might not.

The lighting lit up the whole room. Trent looked out the window to see the sight of the storm. "That lighting is really bright." He said to no one but himself. He looked outside until he heard a knocking on his door. "Come in?" He said, not knowing who was at the door. The door opened up to reveal Gwen walking in. "Hey Trent." She said as she sat down on his bed. Trent walked over next to her. "Hey." He responded. "I understand why you're not talking to anyone. You know that all of us, maybe a not a few of them, would listen to you. You don't have to stay in your room. You can tell me what you saw." Gwen said as she put her hand on his. The thunder rolled in the background as Trent looked to the floor.

"Gwen, do you love me?" He said, not even looking at her. "Of course I do. Why do you even ask?" She questioned him. "Before our deaths on the ski lift, I told you that I loved you, you never responded." Trent responded making Gwen ponder the moment. "I was probably screaming at the time. You know that I love you." Gwen said as she slowly put her lips on Trent's. The kiss lasted a few seconds until they parted. "Do you believe me now?" Gwen smiled at him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Because, there is another way I can show you." She smiled as they kissed again. This time, it was more intense and they leaned back onto his bed.

At the high school gym

Jo and Lighting were staying at the gym lifting weights. Jo was on the machine while Lighting was bench pressing. They weren't there alone. Lighting brought his friend Brick over to work out with them. "98, 99, Sha-100" Lighting said as he put back the weights that weighed a total of over 300. "That was a nice, Sha-warmup." Lighting laughed as he and Brick noticed something. A beautiful girl walked past the entrance of the gym. Brick, being the closes to the door, threw down his weight and chased after that girl. Lighting got up and started to walk to the door. "You Sha-coming Jo?" Lighting asked as she just glared at him. "You know I'm a girl, right?" She asked. "You are one funny Sha-man, Jo." Lighting laughed as he walked to the door. Lighting was using a towel to wipe off the sweat from his face while walking. He didn't see where he was going while he did so.

While walking, he tripped on the weight that Brick dropped and tumbled backwards. As he did so, Jo was lifting at least 400lbs. on the machine. As she lifted up, Lighting's head fell underneath the weight. "Sha-what?" He screamed the weight the Jo had snapped because of the weights that was on the wire. The weight came rushing down and smashed into Lighting's head. Jo, at the time didn't notice it because as Lighting screamed, the thunder rolled. It was too loud for her to hear anything. "Hey Lighting, your brother is pretty loud." Jo joked as she got up. "We need to tell the principal to get better equipment in the weight room. I didn't even get over 450 this time." Jo said as she turned the corner and saw that Lighting's head was smashed underneath the weights. "Oh my god!" Jo screamed as she tumbled backwards, throwing up in the process.

At this time, Brick and his new girlfriend, walked in the gym to see the sight. "What happened?" Brick asked as they looked at Jo. She was too shock to say anything. Brick looked over to his girlfriend, "Call the cops, I will try to calm Jo down." Brick said as he rushed to Jo.

Back at Trent's

The clothes scattered on the ground, the now empty box of condoms on the night table, and the shortness of breath between the two love birds indicated that they did have a good time. "So does that prove it?" Gwen asked him as she kissed him again. "I think you said that enough at the 7th or 8th time." Trent laughed as his phone started to ring. It ringed to a song called the Death Song. Trent didn't like the lyrics or the name, yet he really liked the guitar piece with in it.

It took a while for Trent to hear it, because of the thunder. He finally rolled out of bed to answer it. "Hello?" He answered. "Trent, its Brick. Jo told me to call you to get over to the High School gym as fast as you can." Brick said and then hung up.

"Who was it Trent?" Gwen asked as she got out of bed. "It was Brick; he wanted us to go to the gym at the High School. He said that Jo wanted us there." Trent responded as he got his shirt and pants on and walked out the door. Gwen followed.

The drive there was quite. No one said anything until they arrived at the High School. The first thing that Gwen and Trent noticed was that there were police, firemen, and the ambulance there. They got out and walked over to the entrance. Before they walked in the door, a cop stopped them. "No one has permission to go inside." He said as he started to hold back the crowd that gathered at the door.

Trent looked around to see that there was a lot of class mates there, people from TD, people from his classes, and some people he has never talked to before. "Trent! Gwen! There you are." They turned around to see Leshawna walk up with Brick. "It's bad of what's in there." Brick said as they walked over to the side of the building. "What happened?" Gwen asked as they saw that Ezekiel, Blainley, Noah, Cody, Zoey, Owen, and Izzy were there waiting for them.

"That is the million dollar question." Noah said. "Where is Jo? You told me that she wanted us here." Trent said as he looked around for her. "She is talking with the police and being checked by the medic." Brick said. "Police? Medic? What happened?" Ezekiel asked. Brick waited a little bit until they heard yelling from the front of the school.

Everyone ran over to see that the police was pushing people back as they brought a body on a stretcher. There was a sheet over the body. "What happened?" Cody said as everyone walked over to the body. They all stared at it until a police officer walked over. "Please move out of the way." He said as he pushed the group back. "Sir, could you please just tell us what happened?" Zoey asked as the cop hesitated a little bit, and then he brought the others in a group. "It was a freak accident. John 'Lighting' Rhoda died at 8:32 p.m. His head was crushed underneath some weights. The only witness is Jolene Macon. She is talking with another officer; she also appeared to have gone in shock." The officer said as he left the group.

"Lighting's dead." Izzy said as everyone looked down. The storm continued to storm as everyone just stood there. "Is there something that I missed?" Brick asked as everyone looked at him. "Lighting was with us when Mike died." Trent said, avoiding the details about how they were all supposed to die along with Mike. "The other people where the ones that you see here, including Jo."

Brick pondered a moment. "Weird." He said as he left the group. Leaving everyone else behind. "So you guys heard of what happened." Jo asked as she walked to the group. She looked paler then her usual self. "Are you OK?" Zoey asked her, "Better then Lighting." Jo said as she looked away from the group. "Don't worry, it wasn't your fault." Blainley said as she put an arm around Jo. "How about I take you shopping, that got Zoey a little cheered up." Blainley said as she dragged Jo away from the group.

"I'm going to join them, make sure that Jo will get into too much trouble with Blainley." Zoey said as she left the others. Leshawna turned to see the body of Lighting being put into the ambulance, "I will talk with Lighting's family." She said as she and Ezekiel left. "I will join you." Ezekiel said. "Let's go Owen." Izzy said as she and Owen left the others. "I need to go to the library." Noah said as he left Gwen, Cody, and Trent at the school.

Trent was thinking about what happened to Lighting. "You alright Trent?" Cody asked as Trent looked at the two. "I don't think that Lighting's death was an accident." Trent said as Gwen and Cody looked at him. "You think Jo killed him?" Gwen said. "No, she was too shocked about his death. She couldn't have killed her." Cody responded. "Cody's right, Jo didn't kill Lighting." Trent said. "Then who?" Gwen asked. "I don't know, but I fear that the people who were supposed to die on that lift are dying again."
