    Chapter 1 Alone


    I'm alone now, my friends are gone, death will find me soon. The airs warm but yet i'm cold as death there's nothing else to do but go over the previous events and write them here. I suppose i'll start with him Mark, Mark Johnson.



    Chapter 2 Mark



    Mark was the same age as me, 18, the cutest guy in highschool and rich. But i didn't love him for his looks or money, i loved him for him.I met him at luch only 6 days ago on Thursday the 6th of June, the last month of school. I was sitting in the sun on my favourite rock overlooking a valley that was ever so common in the Rocky mountains. it was a hot day, which was wonderful to have after such a long winter. I saw him watching me from a table across the schoolyard, i ignored his looks at me and opend my bag and grabbed my peanut butter and Jam sandwitch and pealed off the wrapper and took a bite not seeing Mark walking to me. He was at my side now. "hi, your Zoe, Zoe Santnora right?" I looked up and finished chewing before saying "ya, who's asking?" i said acting cool, wanting to show him i wasn't some cheap one night date. He saw this and stopped smiling so sweetly at me and put on a cool half smile. "oh cool, i'm Mark, I've seen you around school a few times and you're probaly one of the prettiest girls i've seen in a whileand is you hair actually that cherry red coulour?" My Hair was shoulder length and was naturally cherry red which many people questioned but i still wanted to act cool." Excuse me, yes it is now is there anything else because i was int he middle of a peanut and jelly sandwitch" i said turning away "oh sorry, i just wanted to say that it goes great with your brown eyes and if you wanted to do something sometime?" he said hopefully. I turned back and smiled brightly and said "did i mention that you're a major sweet talker?" he laughed "did i mention that you're a major hottie?"


    Chapter 3 The date


    He picked me up on Friday night, he came to my door dressed in ripped jeans and a black t shirt which showed his incredible muscles. My dad was like a lion watching it's prey when he met Mark " so you're this Mark, that Zoe won't shut up about?" growled my dadwhen he opend the door. "Well yes i am, and your Zoe's dad , nice to meet you Mr. Santnora." He put his hand out , my dad took it briskly and shook it."So where's the Mrs?" asked Mark as he let go. my dad frowned "she left after Zoe was born." he said roughly. "oh i'm sorry" said Mark "Naw forget it, we've managed just fine without her." there was an awkward silence until i came down the stairs in my favorite black tube top and black skinnies and black boots, i went with the sexy look for the first date, wanting to impress him. I watched him as his jaw dropped as he looked me up and down. I smiled knowing he was smitten, so was i with his woonderful green eyes and brown shaggy hair. I reached the bottom of the stairs and Mark was pratically drooling which i found amusing."hi Zoe, you ready to go?" said Mark as he put his handsome half smile on his face. " i'll just get a sweater the we can get out of her." I said as i ran to the closet and grabbed a black sweater and came back to see my dad who looked like he might bite Marks head off. I stood by Mark and he put his arm around my waist. My Dad almost tackled him." ok dad see you later ok." "ya whatever.' he grumbled. "I'll take care of her sir." said Mark as he pulled me closer. "ya you better" said my dad as we walked out the door.
