Stray Excert

I sat there staring out of the window as the rain fell, Vivian liked rain... Vivian loved rain! She loved running out there when a nice storm was brewing in nothing but shorts and splash around. "Come on Bell!" She would shout to me and drag me outside. I heard a thump on my room door either my parents were fighting about something that had to do with me or, they were doing.... i didn't even want to think about that!

Everyone thought i was the good girl, i was popular among my peers everything i did was noteworthy! What i wanted to do was jump off a bridge! i wanted my friend back, i wanted Vivian it wasn't fair that she had to die the way she did! i wanted Vivian! I wanted her back! She was my best friend, from kindergarten up to our Junior year! I felt my throat begin to close with a tightness. Tears streamed down my face, 'Vivian where are you?' I thought. "Annabell! Annabell open the door!" It was my mother.

"Leave me alone mom... please." I begged trying to control the sudden wave of emotion that struck me. She must have left because she didn't come back, my parents fought a lot... all the time actually. They were going through a horrible divorce, and it was because of me they fought over me, everything was about me! And yet everyone thought i was the happiest girl alive! Truth be told i was miserable and i was depressed... and now to the point of suicide. I know it sounded dumb but Vivian was gone, my parents hate me, i was dying inside! Vivian was the only one who understood me, now that she was gone who did i have to live for?

*************************** ************************************
"You don't mean that do you Bell?" Vivian asked me one night.

"Your the only thing sane in my life, yes i do mean it! My parents hate me and you can't say they don't!" I shouted turning a dagger over in my hands. Vivian got up and sat beside me, she put her arm around me and put the dagger i had been holding in my hands down. She looked at me her innocent brown eyes searching mine for something i couldn't quiet get.

"Look... if i die you have to promise me something... alright?" She asked.

"Your not going to die for a long while i hope." I stated.

"Al right?!" She persisted.

"Ok, ok! I promise."

"Thank you now time for bed!" With that Vivian grabbed a pillow and made herself a bed on the love seat in my room. I climbed into my bed and stared out the window, what went on through her mind?
************************************* *******************************************
I realized now that Vivian had known she was going to die. That struck home and the tears began to pour from my eyes like a waterfall. Sure they had caught the guys who had done it but that wouldn't bring her back! 'Run away... run away.' Something in my mind told me, should i run away? I mean after all that had happened... no! That was the cowards way out and i wasn't a coward... or was i? The rain picked up then, i turned to my alarm clock and saw the digital numbers said 12:42. I climbed into my bed and tried hard to go to sleep, but i dreamed that night.

In my dream there was Vivian she was sitting at the edge of a pool her feet dipped in, she had a book in her hand and she was just putting the marker back in when she saw me. "Bell! Over here!" She waved me over.

I ran over and hugged her, "Vivian! What are you doing here? Why are you here? I miss you." I said hopelessly.

"You brought me here! You wanted me here, so i came and because i wanted to tell you something, i want you to go to my grave and remember that oak tree where i smashed Isaac's face in?" When i nodded she continued on, "Well go there and dig around until you find a black satin pouch, open it up and in there should be a necklace. It was mine once but since I'm dead i want you to have it.... oh and by the way...." She started but began to fade away.

"Vivian!" I shouted reaching my hand out as if to grab her.

"Felix... will.... Caleb... and.... el... Rory!" She got three names out and maybe part of a fourth before she disappeared. I woke startled to hear my alarm clock beeping, i was going to be late for school again... oh well. I thought about ditching but i knew if Vivian were watching me she'd be mad at me, i got up and quickly got dressed.

I usually walked to school but since my Thunderbird was out of the shop i decided to drive to school. My car was as black as an oil slick, the interior of my car was leather I had the windows tinted probably darker than was allowed but then again i didn't care! I drove up to the school and was greeted by the pack of friends Vivian and i had accumulated over the summer. I smiled as happily as i could, everyone knew what happened to Vivian they were all there at the veiwing of the open casket and at the ceromony. But they didnt say anything to me... and for that i was glad.


wow i know that's like super long but sorry that's what sorta came to my mind.
