My Life

Chapter 2 ~ That One Night

By this time we were 14, we grew up knowing each other's inside, we new everything except the few odd affairs and kisses xoxo. I soon fell in love in fact we all did, we were a group and so were all ours lads. We started going on dates all together, having camp outs in Skye's garage until one night ruined it all. It was the Friday 13th October we were all sat round a coffee table telling 'ghost' stories (they weren't very scary at all) but anyway we all heard a noise all 10 of us scared half to death. Was it a squirrel, a dog or a cat we didn't know until Caleb (Alison's boyfriend) was brave enough to face it. He turned and slowly walked out of the garage heading for the trees. We kept a lookout through a small hole. An almighty surge of panic ran through all of us, he was gone. Ali burst into tears, wondering why her, was it Eleanor? Eleanor always had a thing against Ali and Caleb's relationship, but why, was it jealousy or anger? Anxiously we were all waiting for him to return. 1 hour passed, no sign. 2. 3. It reached midnight, this was when we realised we had to call someone. I rang my mum whilst gripping tight to George's arm. My voice seemed to tremble like an earthquake. Ali was worse than any of us. Wondering, where, why and how? I didn't really get what went on that night but I know for sure I wasn't dreaming. Posters plastered everywhere. Head titles of newspapers. The 5 of us talked about it all and what we can remember but the biggest questing of all.        WHY?
