She moved in next door about two years ago. Her name was Annie. She was sort of the outcast type of girl. The one that you never try to be friendly with. She had no friends and was always in her room, looking out her window at everyone that actually had a life. If only I had tried to be her friend. Then maybe she wouldn't be gone right now. Skydiving, I think, is the most dangerous sport in the world. I could have a heart attack because I am scared, or my parachute will not open, and I fall to my death. I would never try skydiving. I heard a knock on the back door. The same knock once, pause, knock two times, pause, knock once code. I rushed to the back door and let Tay in. He stared at me for a moment then slid through the doorway. I passed the living room and looked at the clock on the wall, 1:35 AM...hmm, not going to get much sleep tonight. We went to my room and laid on the floor and talked for hours. He told me how him and Natalie kept getting into fights, and that he couldnt take it anymore, and he had to see me. It was crazy how that woman treated him. But I guess thats the way life goes. | ||||
