The Night - Original Writing

I tried to watch them, drive, and not have an accident at the same time. We pulled into the terminal parking lot with them still going at it. Tracy’s hand was inside Karen’s blouse, the car windows were fogging up and both of them had their blouses partially unbuttoned. They were oblivious to the fact that I had stopped and they were back at the ferry parking lot.

Deej Logan was just like any normal high school girl. She woke up on her first day of school and combed her hair, picked out the “perfect” outfit and headed out the door. What she didn’t know is that after that day nothing would be the same. Nothing that day seemed to be going right. At school drama was swarming all around her, not exactly what she hoped the first day would be like. By the time the last bell of the day rang she was more than happy to get out of that school. She drove home as quickly as she could but as soon as she got home she realized that she had forgotten to pick up her sisters. “Great.” She thought sarcastically as she sat back down in her car and drove off. Just then she pulled out her phone to message one of her friends about her awful day. That one decision changed everything. Before she had a chance to send the message Deej veered off into oncoming traffic and was killed on impact.

Rick eased the motorcycle on to Grand Avenue and the two made their way up to the university campus. He cruised Stadium Way at a respectable speed, then the motor screamed as he turned left on Nevada then right on Spokane Street at seventy miles an hour. Not a cop in sight. Luv sucked in her breath and hung on for dear life. She recognized the route, they arrived a moment later at the campus

Allison groaned and stared out her window at the world around her. "What a gloomy day for the first day of summer." She mumbled as she opened up the window,

“Yes you may.” Edward told him. Michal ran and flung his bag against the wall, then ran in. “He’s going after he goes to the restroom so, we can leave.” Edward and Lexi were alone in the hallway, together. Alone. Edward turned to the first period door and they turned and walked out the door. When they got to the parking lot they stopped. Lexi had a red Toyota pickup truck that was parked up in the front of the parking lot. She leaned against the driver’s door.

“Oh I see where we took a wrong turn,” Kelley sighed with relief, “We have to take a right and then go straight all the way to that bridge.” They began walking, all relieved that they found a way out of the sticky situation that they were in. “I see our mom,” Will announced as they walked up towards their mom. Finally they reached Kelley and Will’s mom, “Why do you all look so nervous and sweaty?” Their mom questioned. All four of them laughed, “Just a bit nervous from the rides,” Makayla stuttered with an uneasy look on her face. Kelley and Will’s mom just looked at them and replied with, “Alright well it’s about 3 o’clock now, we have about four to five hours left before we need to leave so when it is 6:30 come and meet me back here and then we can leave.” Kelley nodded in agreement and laughed, “Yes ma'am.” Several hours passed by and it was now time for these four crazy teens to get going, “I’m so glad we found that map,” Kristin stated as her and Will walked out the exit gate. “Me too, I don’t know what we would of done without that map,” he whispered

She snatches the wheel out of an attached circular freefall, and with a well meaning jerk to the right, her car is on the road once again. It bobs between the yellow and white lines for a several moments before she finally comes to her senses, putting those few short months of drivers training to use. As she manages to regain control of the car she begins to frantically search for Nick, calling out into the night. “Nick! NICK!” she screams repeatedly, her voice quickly becoming hoarse with each impactful cry. Her eyes scan the sides of the road, opposed to the center in her moment of madness thinking that it was possible for him to abandon her mid drive.

Rion calmed from his night terror easily, and he and Percival went back to sleep. When morning arrived, Rion shot out of bed with a grin, full of his typical energy. He had no memory of his tears and screaming the previous night, which was just as well; the boy deserved peace after all the heartache he had weathered.

The fireworks had just ended leaving large smoke clouds in the sky, and the large swarms of people made there way to the front gate. Lauren reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone to check the time. She clicked the lock button on the side a few times before realizing I had died. She sighed heavily knowing she had probably missed Camila’s good night text. Something they had done every night around the same time for the last 4 years.

The three girls are on their way to the party when out of nowhere Talia slams on the brakes. " Why did you do that," asked Allie. " Didn't you see that," questioned Talia in a terrified voice. " Uh, no," responded Allie. " What did you see," asked Kaylee. " I don't know, but what I do know is that it was tall and looked like a dark figure, it had a black mist surrounding it," replied Talia as she started the car again. Every one was silent until they got to the party. When they get inside they see a bunch of decorations, and surprisingly everyone they knew was there also. Talia still didn't trust the fact that it was on a forbidden road.

Zack reached down and pulled the handle. He had to use his shoulder to get the door open. He gritted out a cry of pain as he got out and leaned against one of Monty’s cars. Tina managed to scoot out and hit the pavement. She looked over at Garrett to see his full attention was on the car in front of him. Zack managed to get the backseat opened and ushered Tina inside first. He crawled in after her and pulled the door closed. “I’m getting the two of them to the hospital. Move to block him in. Cops are on the way,” the driver said over a radio. A couple of other voices came back over the radio with a ‘Roger that’ and then they were off.

Headlights flashed and lauren heard a car door slam. “Help me!” Cried Lauren thinking someone had come to her rescue. But instead she heard a deep husky voice call out “Just grab her and put her in the truck Jerry, you’re wasting time.”

As time moves on, she decides to drive over to the mailbox and check on Estelle Louise. Much to her surprise, the mailbox and Estelle Louise are not there. With darting eyes, she searches the area and soon discovers that Estelle Louise’s home is on fire. Panicking, she drives in a maniacal frenzy, up Estelle Louise’s slippery driveway. Once she reaches the top, she slams the brakes,

She opens her eyes for a second. The trees flew out of the dark night, passing the car in a fraction of a second. She panic's, thrashing her hands toward the ceiling of the car bracing for an unknown impact. The only thing she can hear is a ringing a, a high-pitched whistle. She looks over at her passenger, she looks calm, as if she didn’t even know any of this was happening. She turns her head to look at Gabby trying to tell her something, but she couldn't make out the words.

After five minutes of fighting Lucas sat down in the back seat and slammed the door in the face. I could have easily pulled the door off and sent it hurtling into the road colliding with a number of cars and pedestrians, but I would have preferred not to spend the night in a prison cell. The feeling of possible death surrounded my heart as I sat down in the passenger seat and almost hit my head on the dashboard when Charlotte pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road all before I had my seat belt on. Charlotte parked the car in front of the hotel I jumped out of the car thought about kissing the ground then remembered I didn't feel like getting sick and grabbed the sunglasses out of the trunk. I carefully placed the sunglasses over Samantha's eyes so people wouldn't know she was asleep and leaned her up against Lucas and Alexander's shoulders. I grabbed the three grocery bags out of the trunk and turned my gaze to the
