'This isn't my fault.’ I thought to myself standing over the grave. I could have done something to help... I began to cry....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mom!! I'm going to Lucy’s!" I yelled from the foyer by the front door "Then we may go see Zac and Ike!" I called after.

"Okay just be careful." My mom yelled, "Be home by seven thirty p.m. to baby-sit your sister!"

"BUT MOM!!"

"No buts about it! You better leave before I ground you." She threatened.

"Yes ma'am." I said defeated... a few minutes later I rang the doorbell at Lucy’s. Waiting for her to answer the door

"Hey there, Ang." She said when she opened the door

"Hey, my mom is so mad at me." I greeted her.

“Why?" She asked. "Did she find out about what happened?"

"No. I haven't had the heart to tell her, but she wants me to baby-sit cause tonight... and we have plans." I snorted.

"Well, don't worry about it. Let’s just go to that party anyway." Lucy said.

"But what about my sister?" I asked.

"Well, she can stay with Mackie and all them."

"Ok."

With that said we left to pick our boyfriends, with me driving of course.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the Hanson’s ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"ZAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DID YOU PUT THE EMPTY DR.PEPPER BOTTLE BACK IN THE REFRIGERATOR AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?" Ike yelled at his younger brother.

Guiltily Zac yelled back, "UH.... NO! IT WAS TAY! I HAVE PROOF!!!!!!!!!!"

Then from the bathroom you could here a faint, "What did I do now?" It was Tay of course.

*DING DONG*

"I'll get it!" Ike yelled and he ran to open the door "HEY ANG!!!" He greeted his girlfriend.

"Ahem." Lucy said in the doorway.

"Oh, hey Luce. Didn't see ya." Ike said "Zac’s in his room like always." He chuckled

"So Ang, are we going to that party?" Ike asked me.

"Yeah, I guess. But what time does it start?"

"Um..." He thought for a second when Lucy interrupted him. "Four to tomorrow morning."

"Yeah, that’s right." Ike said. "And its now three."

“Well Lucy and I are ready..." I was gonna look at Lucy for emphasis, but she was already gone.

"Well looks like she had better things to do...where’s Tay?"

"Oh, he’s getting ready for Jamie." Ike informed me.

"Oh, yeah they are going out now...we need to go… Jay and Tay can meet us there... ZAC… LUCY!!!" I yelled. "We are leaving, are you coming with us?!"

Soon enough I heard footsteps pounding down the stairs.

"Yeah, we're coming." Zac yelled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the Party ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wanna dance?" Ike asked me before he hiccuped.

"No, that’s okay... I'm gonna go home..." I could tell that Ike was drunk.

"Where are you going?" He asked me when he grabbed my arm

"I said I'm going home. I need to rest." I looked frantically for Lucy and Jay, but neither one were in sight and Ike was pushing me toward the back bedroom.

"Ike, what are you doing?" I screamed. "You are gonna hurt the baby!" I grabbed my stomach.

When we reached the bedroom he threw me down on the bed and I screamed for help...and I felt as if I was standing in the middle of a crowded room screaming at the tops of my lungs but no on could hear me.
