Fallen

I woke up to my mother shaking me awake. " Jenna, honey get up. It's time for school. " I groaned and slid slowly out of my bed. I stretched my arms and legs out and went over to my closet and grabbed a pair of blue jeans and a Aeropostale t-shirt. I slid the jeans on and threw the shirt on over my head. I took a glance in the mirror beside my bed and walked down the hall to the bathroom. " Ughh.. " I groaned as I grabbed my brush to fix my mess of a hair. " 5 minutes!! " my mom called from downstairs. " Okay!! " I shouted back. I swept my hair into a high ponytail and brushed my teeth quickly. I then rushed down the stairs as I slipped on my toms and grabbed my book bag. " Forgetting something? " my dad walked in with my I.D. and my math homework in hand. " Oh my gosh thank you. " I pecked him a kiss on the cheek and grabbed my things. " Love you! " I said as I walked out the door to the black truck.

" Hey " my best friend, Amanda, said.

" Hi " I said catching my breath. She pulled the truck out of my driveway and we started on our way to school. " You look stressed " she smiled. " No kidding " I rolled my eyes. " Guess what?! " she practically squealed.

" What..? "

" I got us tickets to see One Direction's show in Charlotte!!! "

My heart stopped. " YOU DID?!? " the voice was mine, but sounded more high pitched and.. well.. fan girly. " Yes! It's this weekend! " she giggled she made the turn into our high school. " That's in 3 days!! " I smiled. I felt like my heart would burst. Maybe I would finally get to meet my idols and the loves of my life.

The days after Wednesday went by as slow as I could ever imagine but finally, Saturday came. I found the perfect outfit- high waisted shorts and a 1D crop-top and my favorite toms. I put on my outfit then went into the bathroom to straighten my hair. After I finished I decided to put on some

mascara and when I was completely done I stepped back to look at myself. I felt beautiful. I heard Amanda's truck pull up so I grabbed my phone and headed towards the door. Before I could open the door, the doorbell rang. I opened it and Amanda was sitting on the steps. " You really had to ring the bell? " I questioned as she stood. " I didn't know how long you were going to take " she said as we walked to her truck. " What time does it start again? " I asked. " 7:30 " she replied, cutting on the ignition. " How much time until we get to Charlotte? "

" Your'e really curious today aren't you ? " she rolled her eyes playfully. " 1 and 1/2 or 2 hours " she answered. I started to testify her statement but decided against it and turned up the radio. I slowly felt myself drifting off into sleep.

When I awoke we were about a half hour away and it was 6:30. I could tell Amanda was tired so I made her pull onto a rest stop so we could switch spots. " But you suck at driving my truck " she said groggily " I'm probably better than a grumpy tired teenage girl " I say laughing. She rolled her eyes and slid into the passenger seat. She immediately fell asleep. I turned on the truck and eased back out onto the highway. As we got closer and closer to the place, the traffic increased. Soon enough we were bumper to bumper and I had to focus to not ram into the blue Kia in front of me. Suddenly my phone buzzed in my pocket.

" Hello? "

" How close are you? " my mom asked.

" close. the traffic is really bad can I call you back when.."

I was cut off by a sudden jerk forward. Before I realized what was happening, my head hit the steering wheel and all I heard was Amanda screaming my name before I blacked out.
