A Twisted Tale

Chapter 4

24 December 2008.
San Francisco, California.
Everyone was gathering up for Christmas Eve. There was a feeling of excitement in everybody. In one corner there were 4 people standing and chatting excitedly. Everyone in the giant hall was busy talking, eating, dancing etc.
"Where's Fredrik and Adam?" asked Hazel. "Fredrik might be convincing his mom and Adam is always late in parties" said Rachel. Fredrik came in 2 mins but Adam was still not there.
2 hrs passed by but Adam was still not there. "Hey! Adam is never so late!" Lucy said between the party. "Y'all, I need to go to the restroom." Hazel said and excused herself. "Yes he's never 2 hrs late" Fredrik said. When Hazel returned, her face was full of worries. "What happened Hazel? Are you okay? You look too much worried" Rachel asked frowning. "I don't feel good for Adam. I'm saying you he's in big trouble!" Hazel said, her voice shaking. "What do you mean!? What would happen to him?!" Lucy asked worried. "I-I don't know but something is gonna happen." 5 of them were panicking; when suddenly voices of confusion filled the hall. "EVERYONE ATTENTION!" clapped Mrs. Simpson to get attention. A small group of police was standing beside her. "I'm very sad to announce this but one of our classmates, Mr. Adam Longfellow died an hour ago in an accident. A car hit the bicycle he was riding while on his way upto this party. We shall pray for his soul to rest in peace." And Mrs. Simpson went out with the policemen. Hazel, Rachel, Lucy, Jefferson and Fredrik quickly went out and ran towards the policemen. They followed them as they knew those men are going to the spot of accident.

They reached the spot but it was guarded by police tapes. Lucy lost her balance and sat on the road. She was crying heavily. "Why did it had to be him!" "Why did he die!" "Why is God so unfair" "What did he do!" was all she was saying while crying. The place covered with blood. They saw the police take away the body covered with blood wrapped in a white cloth. "Can we return to our house? I wanna leave this place as soon as possible." said Jefferson, emotionlessly. "Ok let's go back" said Fredrik in a sad tone. After coming out of that place, they parted their ways.
But who knew they would part their ways for the next years?

After that incident, Hazel transferred to a new school in Las Vegas. Lucy went to the countryside school. Fredrik went to his grandparents' home town; Los Angeles and started studying in a school there. Rachel went to the same school as Hazel. But Jefferson remained in the same school as before, it seemed like Adam's death wasn't a sad feeling to him. Everyone became quite after that.

No one were in touch with themselves anymore until......
