The Summer Camp

          "Wake up sleepy head." My mother said as she came in my room. "Are you packed?" She asked.
           "Yea. I'm fully packed. And I cannot wait to go to a place where nobody knows me." I said sleepily. I am leaving for summer camp tomorrow. I'm going to be a counselor. Well, me and my friend Janane. But I call her Jan. Her brother is throwing a really big party tonight. I cannot tell mom though.
          "Are you okay. You seem alittle out of it." Mom said worriedly.
          "I'm fine. I'm going to go to Jan's for the night. But don't worry. I'll be back before the camp bus arrives." I said. Mom simply shook her head.
          "I think you should stay home for tonight. It's the last night I get to see you before you go off to camp." She said.
           "No. I am going to Jans house. She needs me. Justin just broke up with her. She is devastated. " I said.
             "Fine. But I expect you back by 6:30 in the morning. The bus leaves at 7:00." Mom stated as she turned on her heel and left the room. I took out my phone and went through contacts. I hovered my finger over Jan.

Me: Hey. 🙌
Jan😘🔥: Hi. You coming over?🤔
Me: Of course. You packed?
Jan😘🔥: Yep. You are never going to guess who's coming to the party!
Me:Who?
Jan😘🔥: Jason Malloy. Total hottie. 😍
Me: Omg. I'll brb. Ttyl.
      
          I put my phone in my pocket. I looked at the clock 4:30. The party starts at 9. I grab my jacket and my over night bag that I packed for Jans then quickly grabbed my bike out of the garage. (I literally just turned 16. So I don't have my permit).
          I managed to get to Jans house at 6. She somehow managed to get drunk already.
           "Heyyyy yyoooouuuuu." She said stumbling.
            "How are you drunk already?" I asked trying to keep my composure. There are lots of types of drunks. For example...angry drunks, happy drunks, touchy drunks, and funny drunks. Jan, my best friend in the whole world, happens to fit in the funny drunk category. She stumbles everywhere.
         "Hey Jan. Hey Kamryn." Jans brother said as he came down the stairs. I really like him, but I am a really good actress. Note of sarcasm.
        "Hey Kyle." I say. He comes over and pulls a strand of hair behind my ear. I try to hide my blush.
          "Meet me tonight at the tree in the backyard by the pond." He whispered.
             "Okay." I said as I nodded.

************at the party****************
        I couldn't find Jan anywhere. I looked everywhere. I sighed and gave up as I went out of the back door. If Jan was having fun, so would I. I walked slowly to the tree and found Kyle sitting on the waters edge.
        "Hey." I said as I sat beside him.
        "Hi." He said. "I need to tell you something very important." He looked me straight in the eyes. I nodded, urging him to continue.
           "I really like you. I know that I'm eighteen and your sixteen. But I don't care. " he said as he gently pushed a loose hair behind my ear. I blushed. "You are so cute when you blush." He smirked. I couldn't help but lean in and kiss him. I couldn't help but feel complete when he started to kiss back. But it would end all to soon. 
        CRASH. i turned my head and see two people fighting on the balcony. I can't see clearly. But I can tell this wasn't going to end well. Before I know it Kyle runs into the house and up the staircase. I can hear him yelling and banging his fist to the door. When he finally managed to get in the room, he turns on the light. I finally get to see the faces of the people fighting. But when I do, my blood runs cold.

Jan and Justin Malloy.

      He pushed her into the glass doors of the balcony and beat her. I couldn't help but to begin yelling. Kyle was trying to get in the balcony but the balcony door was stuck. My best friend was bloody.
        I ran inside the house and went into the garage. That's where Jan kept her baseball bats. I quickly grab one. I run up the stairs and into the room. Kyle was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands, crying. I quickly sprinted toward the sliding glass door and swung the bat as hard as I could. The glass shattered. As soon as I was close enough to Jan I tried to grab her but I was unsuccessful. In fact, I was pushed into the shattered glass. I struggled to get up but when I did, my heart broke. Justin threw Jan off the balcony. I ran as fast as I could to her. I checked her pulse. Nothing. Her heart beat nothing. I began crying loudly.  Kyle ran outside and sat beside me. He wrapped his arms around me and sobbed silently. I'm so selfish. I lost my best friend forever. But he, he lost his sister, his other half forever.
