Chapter One~ Moving Sucks

Moving sucks! Why did we move here from San Francisco again? Oh yeah, that’s right, my dad lost his freaking’ job!

As we pulled up to this two story house, you see my sister Lily running out of the car and into the house to pick out her room. Then you heard Jesse slam the door of the car in anger, because he had to leave his girlfriend in San Francisco. I also slammed the car door; I didn’t even want to be here.
“Elena,” you hear my mom call. I turned around and crossed my arms around my chest.
“What,” I demanded.
“I know you didn’t want to move here, but we’ll only be here for awhile.” my mom said.
“Yeah and how long is that going to be?” I asked. Before she could answer, I went to go get my bags and into the house. The room that I picked was on the first floor. The room was big enough to keep all my stuff in there. It was even bigger then my parents room. We all ready had our furniture in there so I was already putting my clothes away. I was opening doors in my room to find the closet. When I opened a set of double doors, there were stairs leading down. I looked over my shoulder then walked down the stairs. When I was on the last step, I saw tiled black floors, moron colored walls. Then there was a water fountain on the left side in the middle. It also had a black piano. The room was so beautiful.

Chapter Two~ The Room

I take my first few steps into the room. Noticing the tile on the wall. Moving more to the back the tile has created a gorgeous picture. It shows a handsome man extending a black rose. He was bleeding on his arm, legs, and there was blood coming out of the corners of his mouth. I slide my three fingers, (index, and middle) across the black rose. When I pulled my hand away, I noticed blood was dripping down my fingers. I go back up to my room into the bathroom and began to wash the blood off. But then when I walked back into the room to see the picture again. I notice it was gone.
“Elena” I heard my mom yell. I went up stairs, to the living room and she asked me if I wanted to go shop for furniture with them.
“Yeah, I guess.” I said in a sarcasm voice.
“Elena I am getting tired of you acting like that.” she said.
“Well deal with it.” I said. “I don’t even want to go anymore so just fuck off.” I went back into my room and started putting my clothes away in the walk in closet. After I was done, I lay down on the floor with my I pod playing and got my molding clay out of my back pack. I tried to create the rose I saw, but I only saw it once, so I don’t think I’ll get to see it again. When I didn’t get it right, I tried to draw it. But it still didn’t come out like I hoped it would. Finally I gave up and just sprawled out across the floor. I yawned and closed my eyes. All of a sudden I started drifting away, and fell right to sleep.


I woke up to a knock on my door. I got up and answered it. My mom was right there.
“What.” I said groggily.
“We pick out your furniture so it’s here.” she said.
“It better be good. I hope it’s not what you would like.” I said. I went down stairs and told them to just bring in the stuff in to my room. They actually did all the moving in. When they left and did the rest of the house, I put on my new bed spread, and I actually laid out accessories. Like small carpets night stands lamps, all that. Around six or seven we ate dinner then around nine, nine thirty everyone went to sleep.

Chapter Three~ The Shot

At five thirty in the morning, I woke up took a shower and put on some black skinny jeans with a black shirt and my black converse. I did my make up that was black, (eye liner and mascara,). My hair is naturally straight so I just left it down. It was around five forty five when I looked at the clock, so I thought I should go down to the room.

When I was right down stairs the picture was back. I couldn’t see it clear from hear, so I walked closer to it. When I was up close, I gasped. He wasn’t looking the way I saw him on my wall the last time. Instead of him with blood, holding a black rose, and looking down. This time he was looking up at me with purple eyes with his long black hair, and his black clothes, but he did have the black rose. He was holding it in his hands. I started walking backwards to the bench of the piano and sat down. After awhile I started playing the piano and singing along to it. When I looked back at the wall the picture was gone. I checked my phone to see what time it is and it was seven-thirty already. I went back up stairs, grabbed my bag and went to the living room, through the kitchen where everyone was eating breakfast. I’m not really a breakfast person but I ate anyways.
Once all of us were done my dad drove my brother, my sister and I to school. It was the middle of semester, when my dad got down with my brother and me, and walked with us to the office. After getting registered, and a few classes it was lunch time. I got my tray and sat down at an empty table. I saw a crowd gathering at the back of the cafeteria as I went to go see what happened two guys. All of a sudden a guy pulled out a gun, and he said, “Stay back or I’ll show you”. A guy ran towards him, tackled him down, but as he fell he pulled the trigger. I felt very immense pain in my shoulder and I fell to the ground. I noticed a crowd gathering around me. After a few minutes I here an ambulance, and I see the paramedics come and lift me up and into the ambulance. I started losing consciousness and I fell into a sleep.
When I woke up I was in the emergency room. I noticed my family around me. I asked what happened and they told me I have been shot. After a few hours the doctor came in. He had purple eye’s and very pale and muscular.
“Hi Elena. I’m Dr. Miller.” he said.
“Hi.” I said. I couldn’t really fill the pain anymore. “I can’t think of anything to say right now.”

“She might have too much morphine right now. I want to have her here for two days.” Dr. Miller said.

Chapter Four~ The Accident

Two days later

I was down in my room when dad called our names. We all went to the living room, and he told us that he had something really cool to show us. We all went outside and there were two cars out side, also a quad. Lily got the quad and Jesse and I got the cars. My dad handed us each a key with our names on them. Jesse got a 2010 camera, and I got a 2009 dodge charger. Lily got a pink Yamaha quad. Jesse’s car was black, and the leather inside the car was moron red. I just had it black on black.
Today is Saturday, so I decided to go to the store and got a sound system and everything for my car. When I got home, I installed everything in. Two speakers in the front doors, the back doors, and the back top of the backseat. It took me all day installing them. While I was doing that and testing it out me saw Lily on her quad in the desert at full speed. All of a sudden I see her ram into a big rock, and she and the quad go spinning in the air, and she lands on the ground with the quad on her body. I ran towards her to see if she is okay. Once I get to her there’s blood around her head. I took off my shirt, and covered the back
