I ran my fingers through my soft alburn hair as I thought about the upcoming day. I was just about to graduate high school and the prom was just around the corner. At this time tomorrow night, I would be gracefully spinning and twirling in the arms of my best friend, my boyfriend, my personal god; Daniel Walker. He was everything I had always wanted; someone to talk to, to care for me, someone who really knew me. Sometimes, it was like he could read my mind; andI his. We knew each other so well it was almost scary! As I dwelt on this subject,I slowly began drifting to sleep, while my mind wandered aimlessly around.

I woke as soon as the light began to seep through my windows. I hopped out of bed to turn my alarm clock off, as it was frantically beeping. I staggered over to my closet to find something to wear. Personally,I had always wondered my school couldn't start at 10:00. or maybe even 11:00. It would be easier for everyone!

I slipped on a light blue tank, and pulled on my jeans as i opened my door to the hallway.

"Morning mom." I called into her bedroom as i heard the shower turn off.

"Are you exited Honey?" She asked me, wearing a dark blue towel and a wide grin on her face.

"Very." I said with as much enthusiasum asI could manage at 6:30 in the morning. I hurried through the process of brushing my teeth, getting the tangles out of my hair, and shoveling down breakfast. I ran out the door yelling,

"See yah later mom!"

I hear her call somthing in return, but i was already in mycar and didn't hear her answer clearly. I drove to school a little to fast, due to the exitement spells rolling through my body. I could almost see it radiating off my skin. I drove, slower now, into the parking lot and stopped just as soon as i had planted myself successfully into a slot. Next to me was a White Dodge Caravan, one that I just nearly missed asI swung my door open. I raced up the lot to the high school building,nearly falling on my face as I cleared a parking meator. I was such a klutz! This fact often angered me, yet i was comforted by Daniel; who was often even more clumsy and uncoordinated than me!

"Hey Bree!" Rachel yelled as I walked through the door.

"Take you seats." Mr Barker ordered asI tripped over Matthew's bookbag, nearly falling to my knees. A couple people around me chuckled while I grabbed a nearby desk to regain my balance; blushing asI sank deep down into my seat; trying to disappear.

I hardly paid any attention to my classes that morning. I was all to eager to get to lunch.

I walked alone into the cafiteria, scanned every square inch of the room for Daniel; seeing him nowhere.

I gasped suddenly as someone squeezed me into a tight hug from behind. A sighed in relief as Daniel chuckled in my ear over my reaction.

"Hey Daniel." I greeted him happily. He released me and smiled.

"Ready to grab some grub?"

"Sure"

We stood in line for longer than usual to get our food, but I didn't mind. I was happy as long as I couldbe beside him, holding his hand.After I had bought my normal turkey sandwich and potato chip lunch, we walked over to join a table full of our friends.

"Hey Daniel!" Ben called, motioning him to sit in the sat beside him. David smiled, and swifly peeked me on the cheek before he walked to the other side of the table to slide in next to Ben.

"So how did your date go Mike last night?" I asked Rachel once we had all settled in. I ended up between Rachel and her Ex-boyfriend, Rob. Accward... I thought to myself.

"It was great!" She answered happily, as she launched into minuete by minuete description of their evening. I "ooohhed" and "ahhhhed" in all the right places, but mostly just let her talk. I was complely happy letting my mind wander to tonight's prom.

Before I knew it, the day was over. It had sped by faster than i could have imagined. But I was gratified. If the school day was over, that ment I only had a few more hours to suffer through before prom.

Daniel and I talked as he walked me from the school building to my truck. Smiling, as always, he opened my door motioning me inside with his long arm. After kissing him quickly, he shut the door and jogged to his car. Isaw himback out of his parking spot quickly; waved to me through his mirror as he turned the wheel to get on the road. That was when it happened. With my windows down, I could clearly hear a screeching, skiddingnoise, getting louder and louder every moment. I froze, already half way out of my parking spot. Had just 2 seconds gone by? I swung my head around just in time to see agreen Mini Vanslam into David's little car head on. With more force than I could imagined, his car flung backwards hitting another car's bunmper. That was all his tiny car could take. It bounced back, flipping onto it's side. Itwavering, and then finally becoming still, as Daniel sat slumped, and motionless in his seat. That was when the screaming started, but i could barely hearthe others cries over my own.

"Daniel! Daniel!" I screamed in horror. I ran over to his car, hoping and praying that I wouldn't be to late. When suddenly, the car began to shift, and pop. It was clearly off balance. I skidded to a stop, a little to quickly, and feel on my back. Lying in the shadow of the wavering car, I heard people begin screaming my name. How strange, I thought. Only then remembering why I had stopped. But it was to late. The car had decieded which way it wanted to fall. It chose... the left side, the side I lay on. I saw the car coming down towards me, and nothing else. I blacked out.
