Saved By Him

Chapter 1

Dead.

At least I thought I was.

Apparently you can't think when your dead. Well I guess one part of me was dead. The old me. I don't remember the old me. But apparently I hated myself enough to kill myself. I wonder what made me think such awful things like that.

I opened my eyes and looked around, and started to panic when I saw all the wires and machines I was hooked up to. I could hear other people. But it was kinda distant. I heard yelling that she was awake. Who were they talking about? Were they talking about me?

I didn't really get the chance to find out because my eyes starting to close. And I fell back into a deep slumber.

ETHAN'S POV

I looked out of my the kitchen window. I saw some trees. But that is all I ever see when I look out that window. I was eating supper. Alone. Like always. My parents are always out on business. It drives me nuts, but there's nothing I can do. Its not like I can control my parents.

When I was done, I went upstairs to go to bed. I was tired. It was a long day at school today, mostly because one of the most beautiful girls there tried to commit suicide. That's all people talked about and trust me, after a while it gets annoying. I laid down and my eyes started to drift shut.

My alarm clock went off. I threw my pillow at it. Like every morning throwing my pillow at it, doesn't shut it off. I got up and quieted the noise.

I took a long hot shower and got dressed. Skinny jeans and a t-shirt. I was the popular guy at school so I couldn't have a lazy day. It could ruin my reputation. I ran my hands through my hair a couple times and was ready to go.

I locked the house, and hopped into my car. It never takes long to get to school, considering its only like 3 blocks away.

I drove into the school parking lot and everybody stared at me. Joys of being popular. I got out and my name was immediately called. I turned around and was greeted by a hand shake. My best friend Jason was right there. My girlfriend was a few feet behind him.

Jason stepped aside and let her come running at me. I stopped her before she could jump.

"Sierra, I kinda want to see other people." I said to her. Which was true. I didn't want to be with her anymore. She screamed and ran away to her little group of girls. I didn't really care to be honest.

"What was that? You two have been together for over a year," Jason said from behind me. I shrugged my shoulders and walked away.

"Dude! Don't just walk away from me like that!" Jason continued yelling at me from behind my back. I turned around and waited for him to catch up.

"I just didn't want to be with her anymore," I said as he came up to my side. We walked towards the school, and I could tell that it was going to be a long day.

The day seemed to drag on. Each class, there were whispers of what had happened to that girl, there were updates by the teachers and overall, it just got really annoying. I do want to talk to the girl though. I want to get to know her. I want to know why she thought of doing that to herself. I want to meet her. Shes part of the reason I broke up with Sierra. I wish I knew more about her than her name. Her name is Valissa. I wish i could hold her in my arms and comfort her. Yea I guess you could say that's going pretty far, but its what I wish. I just want to know her for her to be honest. In school she is always so quiet. I noticed her though. And I noticed how beautiful she was too. Was? What am I thinking? Is beautiful.

The bell snapped me out of my thoughts, it surprised me but I still gathered my stuff up and left. I went outside and it was pouring rain. I love the rain. My favorite kind of weather. I walked over to my car and climbed into the drivers seat. I pulled out of the parking lot and drove away from the school. Jason told me to meet him at the pizza place about a block away from school. So I drove there hoping he didn't have some kind of surprise waiting for me. Knowing him he probably had girls lined up to meet me just because I broke up with Sierra.
