A clear blue sky with just the right amount of cloud. Perfectly curled waves. A small breeze. A perfect beach day. We had a private section on Hermosa Beach where my brother Liam lived for the summer with his girlfriend, Nicole. He invited my older sister Renee, my boyfriend Louis, and I down for the day while Nicole was in Sacramento visiting family. We had a very relaxing day besides the fact that paparazzi had invaded the privacy rules by getting a boat to take pictures of us. We ignored them and carried on. We were all sitting in our chairs, jamming out to some music. "You know what sounds great?" Liam blurted out. "A nice big bowl of ice cream." As soon as he said it, everyone nodded in agreement. "Alright then, lets go." Louis said, grabbing the keys. Louis drove, while I sat in the passenger seat and Renee and Liam sat in the back. The ice cream parlor was only five minutes away. We had the car radio turned up all the way. "WE'RE UP ALL NIGHT TO GET LUCKY, WE'RE UP ALL NIGHT TO GET LUCKY!!" We all sang, obnoxiously. My hand was on Louis' knee, as he smiled with his bright blue eyes that constantly change from blue to green at any given moment. Louis was a reckless, crazy driver. He was driving way too fast but we all couldn't give a damn. We were all young and restless like we should be. "Red light, Lou." I noted as we approached the yellow traffic light. "I can make it, don't you worry." He sped the car up, barely making it as the other cars beeped on. We all laughed. We approached another traffic light. It changed from red to green before we reached it, so we knew we had time. I reached up to Lou's face and kissed his cheek. I sat back down looking at my surroundings. We drove under the traffic light as a white pick up truck quickly sped near us. "LOUIS!!!" I yelled. I heard Renee, Liam, and Louis all scream before the truck hit us, and everything went black.
