I wasn't sure where I was.

I didn't remember anything.

Was I even awake?

And then I saw what happened.

It replayed in my head.

The crash. The loud screams. The crunch of glass. The pain. And most of all the darkness.

Which still held me captive.

I looked around and it was all dark except for a door. I walked towards it.

It opened and I looked around. It was a little cafe in Rome. The one my dad had taken me when I was about 9 or 10.

I walked over there as I sat and ordered a cannoli. The waitress came over and gave to me and then everything sort of disappeared. And I was in another room.

Joe's room.

It was the after the last day of school in the 8th grade. And we were at Joe's house and I was in his room getting changed since he had invited everyone to this pool party.

I was shirtless and a bit too cocky since I had been going to the gym with my stepdad and I had gotten a bit more muscle that year.

I walked past Evie's room and I remember her sitting on her bed reading a book. And I desperately wanted to go in and just kiss her.

But I didn't. I walked past her room went outside and tried to suppress my feeling for my best friend's little sister.

Once again the scene disappeared as I found myself at the movies on my first date with a girl and also the first time I kissed a girl at the movies.

This was not my first kiss. That had been a year before at that pool party during a game of seven minutes in heaven.

A memory of my father leaving, my mom getting married to my stepdad. My grandpa's death. All which happened in 2 years.

Memory's of little things like the pranks and the parties and school came together. Little pieces of my life for to make the puzzle whole.

But still the puzzle wasn't completely done.

And then finally the memory of the dance.

The mystery girl... Or rather Evie and as girly as this sounds how magical it was.

How it was the perfect Cinderella moment.

And then the day before where I had finally kissed her. And finally had the chance to realize we had the same feelings for each other. And how I did love her.

I stared at the memory as it replayed over and over. Until it all went white again and the door appeared as I walked and opened it.

There was a piece of paper left on the floor. The handwriting was the small neat handwriting I never thought I would see again.

Death is inevitable. It will happen but Zach right now isn't your time. You don't have all the piece to fill your puzzle and you won't have them all for a while. Now's it's your time to go and find that girl you love and tell her so. And don't let anyone stop you. I miss you Zach and I watch over you. Don't miss me too much. -Macy.
