CHASITY;
I take in a deep breath of spring air, the sun radiating onto my skin. Everything is perfect- or- it was perfect. I can't begin to explain how it could've ended so quickly. I never could.
My name is Chasity Serenity. I have a story- of course I do, considering the things we've done, I have to share my story...
----------
Gunshots and smoke fill the air, sweat invades my lungs. My mom and I are making it to the life boat as fast as we can. I'm pulling her hand as she coughs through the smoke. "Mom! Come on!" She shakes her head while coughing more. "Chas, I'm not gonna-" A tear falls from my eye, quickly disappearing into the wind, "No! Don't think that that... We-We're both gonna make it!" I start running faster, facing my head to the ground....
Then I feel Mum's hand slip away from mine.
I skid to a stop a couple feet from where my mom let go. She stands and smiles; "I love you Chasity, you'll be okay without me, goodbye." I start crying uncontrollably. "MOM!" She doesn't move, I try to run up to her- but by then it's too late. I watch in pure horror as a bullet pierces through her chest. My eyes widen in fear- it all happened too fast. We were just running- we were both gonna make it. Just yesterday we were sitting on our front porch, enjoying the morning dew. Now what- Now that'll never happen again. She waves as she falls to the ground. I know I should be denying it- but I knew that I would never get the chance again. So... I ran fast up to her while her eyes were still open, and muttered, "Goodbye."
I hug her before I start running again, as fast as possible. Just barely making it to the life preserve. With two older women, a dog, and a little girl around my age. It happened too fast- I know I said that already, but I mean it, I didn't even get the chance to think about what was happening before my whole world came crashing down- the next day would be my first day of secondary school. I begin to hyperventilate. When it was happening- I couldn't think about it as much... because I was running for my life, but once we got further into the water, I had time to hear my thoughts and it all sunk in.
She wasn't here with me.
And she never would be again.
Because... she was gone, forever.
--------
DAMN- that was short.
