k, well, this is my first attempt at writing anything not school related so...if its crap, let me know
Derek is haunted by his memories. Since he can remember, he has been ridiculed because of his looks and opinions. As he walks home from school, he can still remember the time the others laughed in his face because he was crying; Derek was 7. He continues his walk home and vividly recalls the time he was given a broken collar bone and robbed of his lunch money because he had ratted them out to their teacher; Derek was 11. He then replays the death of his brother, him waiting and watching as his brother's last words slipped away from his mouth and was gone from them; Derek was 15. As he waits at the intersection, three blocks from his home, he notices a small child step into the lane. Chasing a tennis ball, the child has no idea that a car is speeding its way towards him. Derek runs into the lane and pushes the kid out of the way. As he is thinking in the moments before the collision, Derek slowly recalls the last words of his brother. "Life...is precious....and short....hold on.....and never...let go....". In the last second before he is thrown twenty feet away by the still speeding car, Derek loses all sense of feelings and revels in the sense of perfect harmony. "So this is what heaven is like", he thinks to himself. He is then hit by the car and thrown twenty feet impacting on the concrete; Derek was 17.
