I was sitting in my room thinking if I could change my life,would I? If I did,would I be happy. Would my sister and brother be somewhere bad? No.I would not change my life.Yes,its bad,but,then my brother and sister won’t be happy. I just keep thinking about my life till my phone went off. I looked down at the caller I.D. and smiled.

“Hey, Tess,” Kelly said in a overly happy voice.

“Hey Kelly,” I said in a overly tired voice.

‘’Are you ready? I am outside, so hurry up. You can't be late for your first day at school,’’ kelly said in an overly happy voice.

“Yea I am ready, I am coming. I said as I hung up the phone.

I took one last look in the mirror, I was wearing high waisted shorts that is tie-dye with a belly shirt to go with the shorts and converses, i looked good i thought as i walked out to kelly’s car.

‘’Hey Kelly” i said in a nervous voice

‘’Hey Tessa’’ Kelly said in a overly voice

Kelly looked good she was wearing tight ripped pants with a belly shirt and converses, we talked the whole way there, as soon as pulled up to the school, everybody was looking at me (‘’great just what i wanted”i thought to myself). I was walking to the office to get my books,locker combo, and schedule,I got all that as soon as i turned around I hit someone. I looked up I can't believe this its Keith my best friend from my old school, I didn't know he was going here, Keith looked the same but more bigger like stronger he looked good he was wearing light pants that hung to his hips and a sweatshirt that was red and converses.

“Hey Keith, when ya start to go here?’’i said in a happy voice

“Hey Tessa, I started coming here two weeks ago”


“Oh so that why you lifted my school?’’


“Yea my mom thought it was for the best if I came here”


‘’Oh well i got to get to English so talk to you later” i said as i winked and started to walk away.


“HEY! I have that to wait up i will talk with you”he said as he grabbed my arm with a huge smile on his face.

It has been a month since I started my new school, and I ran into keith. keith has been asking me how has life been and where are my mom,dad,sister,and brother but I tell him I have to go or kelly talks about something else. I don't like telling people about that, the only person who knows is kelly.Right now I was at keith’s house doing homework and just hanging out. We were talking about kelly because I haven't heard from her for awhile i hope shes okay,while we were talking my phone started to ring,the number’s blocked.

“Hello” I ask unsure

“Hello ma’am is this Tessa?”

“Umm yes who is this?” i said a little nervous

“I am a nurse at Belle Plaine Hospital, I didn't who to call and in her phone she had you down as sister Tessa,and her mom and dad didn't answer so i thought you were sister but kelly got into a car accident I am sorry but can you please come down to the hospital.”

With that she hung up the phone,I was frozen i can't believe this all i could say was “why kelly just WHY!”

“Tessa what's wrong? Who was that?”

“Keith it’s Kelly she has been in a car accident we need to go to hospital” i said as I started to run to the car while crying.

We got into the car and drove for about 30 minutes,we talked to the lady at the front desk, she told us to go to the room 39C.As soon as we got there the Doctor came out of the room.

“While we got some good news and bad”he said with a sad smile “good news is that kelly is okay right now but bad news is that she almost died from a drunk driver and we had to put her into a coma because of her injures, you guys can go see her for a little bit but not to long” he said as he walked away to let us go into the room, the nurse stepped out and open the for us.We walked in, as soon as i saw Kelly i left the tears flow, she is like my sister, she has been there for me my whole life, she is the only one who knows my story and still looks at me the same, I love her so much i just why her? Why did god pick her? that all I all i could think about till the nurse came in and told us its time to go.

It has been 3 weeks since i saw Kelly I have staying at Keith's house because i am starting to have nightmares about my childhood and about Kelly not making. I have called the twins to tell them what happen and to make sure they are all right, Keith has been helping throw this but he doesnt know whats wrong and i am not sure if i am ready to tell, what if he leaves me?

I was laying in bed with Keith and one of my nightmares came about it was my childhood mixed with Kelly car accent. At first it felt like a nightmare like when your sleeping but then it just turn and felt real. I was watching the twins and my parents, I tried to help them but it was like i was just frozen and can't move, and then it died with the twins dying i was full on crying by now.But then it faded away and I was watching Kelly get into a car accident but instead of her living she died but her last words were”Tessa left Keith in he loves you and won't leave you trust me.” All of sudden my body was jerked up, I was crying and sweating in Keiths arms, all i could think was omg it was just a nightmare, think god but why did it feel so real then?

“TESS TESS TESS ARE YOU OKAY? WHY ARE YOU CRYING” Keith asked worried

“I had a nightmare” I said crying still

“About what Tess”

I sign i guess its time to tell him or he will get mad, sad, and worried, I looked at Keiths baby blue eyes, and start my story. “It all started when I was little my parents were happy and then the twins came along. Then my dad started to drink, my mom and him would get into huge fights sometime he would get violent with her. My mom couldn't take it no more and would leave us with him. I would always get the beating because i was a trouble makers in school, my mom came home one day and my dad hit her hard, she couldn't take it no more so she overdose. My dad was over depress and did drugs, and drink, he came home one day and hit me and would not stop he said it was my fault that he drinked and my mom overdose. He pulled out a knife on me and stabbed me, and killed himself in front of me, the twins were at a babysitter. The babysitter stopped by to drop of the twins as soon as she saw me she called the police right after that i blacked out.” While I told him my story I was crying and shaking, Keith was holding me and telling me that he was here for me and that he won't leave me or look at me differently.That he will keep the nightmares away and he won't leave me no matter what.

“Tessa?” he asked smiling and a little unsure

“Yes”

“I love you and what to marry you, what do you say?”

“Yes I will I have loved you for a long time” I said with a huge smile, he smiled and kissed me.
