Unexpectedly

The road was wide open and as the roof was down the wind was blowing through our hair.

I turned to look over at Emily, her eyes were staring up at the sky and before I could say anything a transport truck hit the drivers side of the car and just like that. Emily was gone.

I woke up in a pool of sweat, gasping for breath. The nightmares about the night Emily died have been haunting me for the past year.

Summer has just begun and feeling unlike other teenagers I dread summer now, especially today.

Hopping out of bed I stared out my window to look across the street at Emily's old house. Her parents were loading boxes into the huge moving trucks.

Having new people move into Emily's old house gave me the chills.

Walking out of my bedroom I poked my head into my mothers room, and seeing her passed out on her bed gave me warm reassurance that she didn't sleep on the streets somewhere. My mother has had mental issues and drinking problems ever since my father died of a stroke 6 years ago.

I walk out on my porch outside and watch as Emily's parents drive away in their SUV as 3 moving trucks move behind them.

Halfway through the day I get a text from my boyfriend Dylan saying that we will got to the movies. Dating Dylan I never really had a choice if I want to go places with him or not.

I walk downstairs and noticed that the new moving trucks for the new people moving in. My mother was not downstairs so I assume she has probably gone to another bar to get drunk and the police calling me at 2am to tell me that they have found her lying on a park bench.

Once I heard a car honk I knew that Dylan must be here. I lock my door and walk towards Dylan in his car.

I glance across the street and see a boy with dark hair that looked about my age carrying boxes.

He steps out of his car faster than I can get and he reaches to kiss me but i dodge away.

"C'mon", he tells me reaching for my hand.

"No Dylan I really don't-", I try and say but a searing pain passes through my cheek. As Dylan lowers his hand from my face.

I raise my hand to cover my cheek, and checking to see if nobody saw.

The boy did.
