My Guardian Angel

2.Why Does This Always Happen

"Amanda, come on. Amanda, wake up." Said Beth, in my ear. With a grunt I open my eyes and see the there's a few minutes till our stop.

"Uggggg, I'm up." I mumble rubbing a sore spot on my neck form where I was sleeping on it. I slowly sit up and start to get ready to get off the public bus.

"Okay here we are." Beth says in a voice of fake awe and waving her arms trying to show me how awesome downtown is although we've been here a million times.

It's the same old square with the biggest mall in town on the left. With three different chain restaurants, Burger King, Dairy Queen and Macdonald. This is where people form all ages come to eat shop and just hang out.

"Yes Beth. And it's completely different than it was when we came here two days ago." I deadpan while I internally facepom.

"Oh come on amanda lighten up have some fun." She says bumping me with her shoulder as she walked past me. To head to the mall.

"Okay, as long as you stop pointing out every cute boy." I sigh as I watch her check out the guy in front of us. As we start to walk though the double doors into the mall.

"Fine as long as I can tell you when one is like really,really cute. Okay?" Beth asked still staring at the guy. Was she that stupid to think I would agree to that because I know she'll say every guy is really,really cute.

"I'm not going to agree to that, I know you'll just say everyone is really, really cute." I say my thoughts out loud. Just as we get to the first store that was on our list that needed help and payed well that we liked. It's called One Of A Kind. We chose all the stores by the shoppers, they have to be only teenagers like us, no older or younger people. As we walk into the store I see a person at the cash and a person trying to fold clothes, help customers and put the sale stuff on and put up a display. They really needed help maybe we won't have to go look at different offers.

"Okay, you got me on that one," Beth say sighing and looking around the store coming to the same conclusion as me by the smile on her face. "How about I only tell you about the ones you might like?" She finishes after a while.

"Fine." I know that if I don't give up she'll keep trying to make a deal with me.

"Hello, miss," I say as I walk up to the girl at the cash with Beth behind me. "my friend Beth and I would like to apply for the part time job."

At my words she finally turns around to look at us. First she studies Beth raking her eyes all over her and asking her a few questions.

Next thing I know she examining me. as she looks me over I look at her like really look at her.

The name on her name tag was June. She looked about 18 with a nose ring and doubled pierced ears. June had pixie cut hair that was died purple and had purple eyes to match. They had to be colour contacts because people don't have that vibrant eyes.

"Okay," June starts done her once over of me " you look that part of the job, now what's your name?"

"I'm Amanda." I say answering her question. She wrote something down on a notebook she picked up off the counter.

"Answer with a yes or no. Have you had a job before this? Do you have experience with store front? Have you worked in costumer service before? Finally have you worked with money before?" she states waiting for me to answer her after she fired question after question at me.

I took a breath to thing though my answers " Yes, no, yes, yes." I said as she writes it down. I must be getting a job because she looked up at me and smiled.

"Okay... Amanda. You will work the cash as your part time job, it's 10 dollars an hour." She said and pointed to the cash. "Also you will work weekdays form 3-6. behind the desk you can write your name on a name tag. You start tomorrow. Thank you." June rushed to fit all that in one.

As a turn and walk to the cash I hear that Beth got the job up front with folding clothes and help customers.

I finish writhing mine and Beth's names on the name tags and hand her the one with her name on it.

"Thanks, I can't wait." Beth said as we walked out of the store.

"Actually you can we start tomorrow." I said as we walk though the cafe " Wait can we have lunch before we go. Please. Please?" I said pulling her back towards where the cafe was.

"Fine as long as we sit next to that guy." Beth agreed as she pointed to the guy she was looking at all day.

Without saying anything I pulled her to the table he was sitting at all a lone.

Now that I got a close look at him he was as Beth would say really really cute. He had brown, short, hair with beautiful grey eyes that were focused on a book he was reading. He had a light tan and looked like he came out of one of the model magazines Beth always reads.

"Hey," Beth said knowing that I would say anything first to someone we just meat. She then turned to me and whispered " go and get what ever you want to eat. Okay."

Taking the money I got up just as the guy across form us looked up to start a conversation with Beth that I'd later never hear the end of.

Getting into the line to get food, I'd though I'd only be there form a few minutes but no. I stood in line to buy my food for 20 minutes.

20 frecking minutes.

When I got back to the table we were at that just happened to be the farthest table form were I bought my food.

"So that's pretty much all about me." I heard Beth finish. They probably know each other well now.

"Hi," I say sitting down to eat my hard earned lunch. "I'm Amanda, Beth's friend." Starting to dig into the burger and fries on my plate.

"Hey, I'm John. I heard that Beth, you and I are all going to the same school this year." He said checking me over.

He probably won't take any interest in me because I have strait brown hair and brown eyes. I'm not tall but I'm not short and it's not like I'm extremely curvy like some girls.

Beth on the other hand is like a human model of a Barbie doll.

"Well nice to meat you John, but I have to go, bye Beth I'll see you later." I wave goodbye and get up form the table leavening time for Beth and John to be a lone.

Running out of the mall trying not to bump into anyone on my rush to get to the bus stop so I don't need to wait for the later bus.

I get to the stop just as the bus is pulling to a stop. I slowly pull myself onto the bus and head straight to the back where I can be alone.

The bus starts with its usual fast speed. I see the light before us turn green and the other one turn red.

I look out the window to my right to see the passing city but instead I see two bright lights. Then I relies that the lights are moving way to fast to stop for the light.

I try to get out of my seat no get to safety. Next I'm on the ground as I hear the same sound that's always in my nightmares.

Glass and metal breaking and car alarms.

Time seams to slow as I see the side of the bus be replaced by the car. I hear a bang and I feel as if I just got stabbed and the person removed the knife and kept stabbing me.

Thought the paint I see the world spinning and then everything...

Goes...
