Just My Luck Ch. 1

Chapter 1

It's the same every night. It never changes. The dream is always the same; a memory. I still remember the light from the moon shining down and the sound of someone screaming. I will never forget the look on his face only seconds before it happened; horror and shock mixed with love and sadness. It will haunt me for the rest of my life. That one night....

"Now it wasn't so bad, was it?" I asked, laughing quietly as I looked up at the young man that I was madly in love with.  

He just glared at me as I let out another laugh. I had made him take me to see some stupid mushy romance movie and he wasn't too excited about that. 

"Oh come on. It was a cute movie." I squeezed his hand tightly and a small grin made its way onto his lips. We continued making our way down the sidewalk on out way home, hand in hand. I took another glance at the boy that had stolen my heart. He was perfect. Even his name was perfect. Jacob Scott. Now can you say sexy?  

My eyes roamed over the perfect features of his face. I loved the way he always had a smile on his face. The way his lip curved slightly to the right whenever his signature smirk was plastered on his lips. He had the most gorgeous black hair that I have ever seem. You just had the urge to run your fingers through it anytime you saw him. Then there were his eyes. Set with a deep chocolate brown, they hypnotized any girl within a five mile radius. Of course at only fifteen he still had that slight childish look. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't look like a little kid but if you looked close enough you could tell he was still a true kid inside. Young enough to pull pranks and tease his friends but old enough to have raging hormones and a nicely toned body.  

When I finally came out of my trance that I had gone into I saw that Jacob was looking ahead, grinning as we walked along. 

"Like what you see?" he asked, cockiness streaming through his voice. 

I rolled my eyes at nudged his side. "You wish Jake" 

He laughed and tightened his grip on my hand. I smiled gently to myself and looked down at our intertwined hands. Jacob was my everything; my whole world. I have had a crush on him since middle school and when he finally asked me out two months ago those feelings got stronger and I knew that I was in love with him. There was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to be with him forever. Jacob is my future.  

The plans I wished for my future were suddenly interrupted as I felt Jacob slide his hand out of mine. I could feel the cold wind hit my now empty hand and I immediately missed Jake's warm hand in mine. I looked over at him. He was making his way over into the middle of the street. "Jake, what are you doing?" 

He laughed and shook his head. "Having some fun." He answered. 

I laughed and shoved my hands into my jacket pockets. "Well you can have fun later. It's cold Jacob, come on." 

"Just hold on Allie" 

I sighed as I felt a small gust of wind hit my face. "Jake! It's too cold to be out here any longer, lets go!" I pleased. 

He just ignored me and started to turn slowly in circles. I shivered and looked around. Was freezing his ass off his version of fun? I started to tap my foot impatiently not wanting to beg for him to stop acting silly and just walk home, knowing that it would be useless with his stubborn ass. As I hid my face slightly into my jacket I saw a few people passing by and they were staring at Jacob, probably wondering if he was high. I laughed at the thought. 

I looked over at my boyfriend and smiled. He had the biggest grin on his face and I couldn't help but smile even more. I really was in love with Jake.  

He stopped spinning around in the middle of the empty road and just stared at me until he said, "I love you Allie." 

My heart stopped. Did he really just say he loves me? Am I dreaming? I blinked a couple of times as my heart rate sped up and I simply replied, "I love you, Jacob."  

I could feel the smile on my face become even bigger if that were possible when all of the sudden I saw bright headlight quickly turn the corner of the street, obviously going way over the speed limit. And that's when I heard some man from across the street yell, "Watch out!" and another woman shout "Move!" 

I looked around to see who had yelled those words when I heard another woman scream, "Get out of the way!" 

I quickly looked over at Jacob who was still standing in the middle of the street, looking at the car that was coming his way. He turned his head to look at me and all I saw was horror and shock mixed with love and sadness written all over his face. What was he doing? Why was he just standing there? Why wasn't he getting out of the way!? My eyes made there way down to the ground in confusion and then I heard it. A loud, heart wrenching scream. My head popped up at the loud sound and what I saw in front of me was something no one should ever have to see in there life. Right in front of me was the car that was driving recklessly and a young man lying on the ground in front of it, a puddle of blood around his head. It wasn't any young man. It was Jacob, my boyfriend. 

I stood there in shock. What just happened? This has got to be some kind of joke. A sick and wrong joke. But it wasn't. This was reality.  

I was frozen in place. I couldn't move, couldn't breathe. And then it all went black....

My name is Allie Montgomery and on December thirteenth, 2009, the love of my life died. It's been a little over a year since that horrible night. I remember it like it was yesterday. I cry every night, hoping I will wake up from this terrifying nightmare but everyday I find I'm still living in sadness. I'm actually crying right now.  

I lay my head on my pillow and fall into yet another deep sleep full of the horrible memories.
