"Don't go in there, Matt!" I said worriedly "I'll be back in a few minutes, chill Anna" Matt walked into the house while I was left outside in the pouring rain in the middle of the night. My clothes were drenched as well as my blond hair. I looked at the house with complete curiosity and terror in my dark green eyes. 10 minutes went by, Matt still hadn't come out and I was left  outside, still. Matt had told me to stay outside but I couldn't take it anymore. I hesitantly walked up the creaking steps. When I reached the door I slowly opened it, savoring the last bit of light from the outside when I saw Matt. Dead on the floor right by the chipped,wooden door. I screamed with utter terror,fear,grief, and everything depressing in my voice as loud as I could.

That was two years ago when I was fifteen. But it replayed in my mind over,and over,and over again. I still couldn't believe my best friend was gone, taken away from me just like that, it couldn't be. Could it? "Of course it could be, it happened" I scolded myself for thinking about it for the tenth time today, I never used to think about it this much until today, the day I moved back to Cambridge. In that oh so familiar house in the so familiar little town. "And the so familiar feeling of the death"  I sarcastically added to myself. I stood up from the red bean bag and went over to the dresser that had a huge mirror right above it. I looked at myself, I looked the same all the time. Maybe I different hairstyle but everything else was still the same. Just how Matt liked things. The same, never changeable. I wish that was how it still was but now, everything changed, absolutely everything.

I almost fell over screaming when Aliza, my Dads new horrible girlfriend, appeared behind me "Hows everything going Anna" I turned around and put a fake smile on but had despise in my eyes "Oh every things just wonderful, how about you?" My Dad had told me to be polite but he knows me better. "It would be great if you'd start being less sarcastic and more nice" she had planted a fake smile too, just like she always did. "Oh well isn't that too bad?" I turned around, trying to dismiss the Beast and thank god it worked. Hope she knows how much I'm fighting to strangle her. I thought and smiled deviously. I went over to my bags that I hadn't unpacked and searched for the one with the big black words saying Anna's Clothes. I found it 15 minutes later and opened it, to my relief all of my skinny jeans and Band t-shirts were there. "Thank god Aliza hadn't gotten her filthy paws near these" I whispered almost so silently I barely heard it.
