here is chapter one!

Daivd



I should not have been suprised when my phone buzzed off the nightstand. But I was, just like I always am. My heart skipped a beat, as I gasped out of a very realistic daydream, or well.. nightdream. I didn’t need to read the text message to know what it would say. It was 3:02 am Thursday morning. This is the fourth time this week I’ve gotten the same text
Things would have been different if I had been sleeping. I wouldn’t have dragged myself out of bed. But I never sleep anymore, atleast nothing I remember. Not since I met Lily. Not after what happened this summer. I opened my cell phone hoping it wasn’t her. Hoping for anyone else really. But I’m not that lucky. Just as usual it read "4!!!," her symbol for kill
I sighed and rose from my bed. It was colder in my room then it should be for late spetember. I grabbed my clothes and her gun. I refuse to leave it in her care, afraid of what she might do with it alone. I quickly got dressed and headed downstaires. I stumbled past the kitchen in the dark, and grabbed my keys as I closed the back door behind me. I knew Lily would be ready and waiting. There was always something about her right before she pulls this. Like a sense of self assurance. God only knows how warped and twisted this world really is. But she seems happy, and happiness for Lily is a rare, rare thing.
The drive to her house only takes ten mintues, but tonight it felt like forever. I couldn’t keep from thinking about all the things this girl has done. And even worse I’m completely and utterly 100% in love with her. But she’ll never know that. I always watch from the sidelines, failed relationship after failed relationship. I actually remember the day she swore off men. I laughed at her and she pulled a gun on me. Then I kissed her, how romantic right? Not so much. She dropped the gun a ran all the way home. That was the end of that.
I turned onto her street. Her house was the third one on the left with the yellow door. When I pulled into her drirveway she was already outside. This was a first and it already had me worried. She was carrying something I didnt recognize. She literaly ran to the driver’s side and said, "Get out I’m driving."
I put the car in park and slide into the other seat as she climbed in. She smelled of french vanilla and coffee, one of my favorite things.
"Hey Lils."
"Good morning David. How did you sleep?"
"Do yo really need to ask?"
"I was just trying to be nice babe," she said as she smiled. Since when does my bestfriend call me babe?
"You seem awful chipper. Were are we going?"
"Shhh. It’s a suprise."
Suprise my ass. She was headed East towards the coast. I had a very strong feeling we’d be on Virgina Beach by sunrise. I sat back in my seat and got comfortable. Of course the only time I sleep is in the presents of her.
It wasn’t a deep sleep, and it didn’t last very long, but it was long enough to dream and that was all I needed. I dreamt about Lily. It was last summer, and she was as beautiful as ever. We were both taking a free summer writting course, and we had instantly become good friends. It was the first time she had asked me to go to the beach with her. She had insisted on driving the enitre way, which was fine with me. We got there after dark but she insisted on going swimming anyways, so we did. The water was freezing, but that was the most fun night of my entire life...so far.
I woke just as the sun came up. We were parked somewhere unfamiliar to me. Lily was sitting next to me writting. She does that alot. She is an amazing wirtter, better then I could ever dream to be. She has 3 publish poems. But that’s mnot good enough for her. She always has to be the best. Sometimes that bothers me. She finally noticed I was awake, and smiled at me and said, "Get out we’re going for a walk."
