Ace has not missed a single day of school for me. He hasn't even wagged once, only through lunch to come home and check on me.
In the afternoon, when he comes home, he teaches me what he learnt at school, hands me assignments, and takes them back to school for me when I complete them.
Ace is the dream boyfriend.
I can't face going to school, can't face everyone, the sympathetic teachers, the pity in the students eyes. I don't even want to face Mackenzie or Lauren. They would only make this worse.

It's 4:30 and Ace isn't home from school yet. I call him but he won't answer.
Then he calls back.
" Hello, Ace  where the hell are you?! I'm worried sick, come home please!" I yell into the phone.
I can hear cars and sirens in the background.
" Um.. This is Steven Brennan. Ace was in an accident on the highway. He's in hospital" he says.
What?
" No, your pranking me" I say. What's with me thinking everything is a joke? Is it to make me feel better?
" Sorry Miss, He is in hospital" he says.
I hang up my phone, shocked.
Am I cursed?

I make a vow to never love anyone again, even if that means heartache hurts me more than anything else.
