Daniels point of view

It was meant to be gloomy that day, when I had awoken to the soft peddling of rain on my small dirty window. I sat up and the world felt dizzy, but only for a moment. The sweet smell of natures tears filled my nostrils with delight. I turn towards my partly opened window, realizing that I had left it open the night before. The streets were filled with the regular Saturday morning buzz, and the horns of cars blared on every corner. Oh New York, New York, how your loudness greets me.

I toss on some clean clothes, preparing myself for today's errands. I eat some expired cereal and wash my bowl. I was about to departure for my day, when my cell phone rung into action. Making sounds and vibrated into movement. I retrieve it, the words "unknown" stare at me with a blank face.

I slide the green button over,"Hello?"

A grumble, then,"Um hello, yes, is this the residents of Daniel Sanders? It is urgent that we talk to him." Said a masculine deep voice.

"Uh yeah this is him?" I replied with curiosity.

"Okay, I am a police officer at the NYPD, I'm am sorry to say this but the police force in Alabama has notified us that your parents, John and Denise Sanders, have tragically passed due to a recent car accident." He replied.

I couldn't believe it, the people who raised me, were...were dead because of a car wreck? How?! My father was one of the best drivers in the world, he couldn't of caused an accident so bad that it cost their lives!

I rapidly shot back," No! No that can't be true, my father cannot possibly be capable of causing a deadly wreck!"

"I'm sorry sir, if you could please come down to this station, we would be willing to give you the file on what happened."

"Oh hell yeah you'll be give'n me that file!"

I hung up and violently threw my phone to the wall. It shattered into a million pieces, I didn't mind, it was an old price of crap anyway.

I grabbed my coat and slammed the door and I rushed down the stairs to grab a taxi cab.

Olivia's Point of view

My alarm awoke me at eight o'clock, but I was already up. I hadn't slept the whole night, due to the fact that, that I was about to have an abortion in two hours. I wouldn't say it was my decision, in fact it wasn't up to me at all. My whole family is forcing me to do this, something I never wanted to do.

If I had just walked down the same path that night coming from the movies, I wouldn't be in this situation. It was dark, and I found a shortcut to my house in a damp alleyway. I didn't mind the fact that there was a homeless man sleeping on cardboard as I passed. Next thing you know, a metal object collided with my head and my brain was in black shambles.

The next morning, or next few days after that (I'm not really sure) I awoke to my head pounding. I was in the classic paper hospital attire, and I overheard a doctor talking to my parents, my mother in tears. I said something an she quickly rushed over towards me and showered my bruised face with kisses.

I hadn't realized what had actually happened that night, until I received a letter stating that I was, well pregnant. I was in a complete state of shock, my knees buckled and I spent days in bed, that is until I was forced into, well this.

While replaying the events in my head I had already eaten and grabbed a cab. After paying the driver, I looked up to the sign with big letters of the doctor's name plastered for all the world to see.

"Well, here goes nothing."

Daniel's point of view

The file, it was just a file. The words that were inscribed on the paper were for me. I flip it open, pictures of the wreck, my parents, and their autopsy reports. Brain damage, broken bones, and of course death. I was sitting on a park bench, looking like a complete idiot while I was crying. I had realized that car they were driving, the one I worked on in high school...

It was a blue convertible, the brakes had busted, so I volunteered to fix them. My father showed me how and I was off to work. At this time my girlfriend at the time was explaining how I wasn't paying enough attention to her and more on the car, so instead of totally fixing the brakes, I partially did. I never did tell my father that the brakes were never fixed completely, which meant he hadn't know about it while driving it before the wreck. That only meant one thing, it was my fault they were dead, I had technically murdered them.

I looked up and a girl passed me, she had long golden hair and her eyes were a bright green. Except her eyes were a deep green at this time, because she was crying. She walked to the next bench along to path and sat, staring blankly into the world. Out of this all I could think about was how beautiful she was, oh how beautiful.

I decided to share my sorrow with her as I stood and sat next to her..

"What's wrong?" I questioned.

Sniffed and laughed, "I'm a freaking mess, please leave me alone."

I laughed," You think your day is bad?! My parents are dead because of me! I murdered them just because of a stupid girl who cheated on me!"

"Oh my God!! Are you one of those psycho murderous people who chop people's heads off?"

She was starting to get up put I placed my hand on her thigh. He stared at me with big eyes, in a shock. But those eyes...

"Of course not. I was supposed to fix my fathers brakes to his car in high school, but never did and never told him that I didn't. He and my mother died yesterday because of a brake failure, in the same car I was supposed to fix."

"Woah... at least you didn't murder, a... a child." She whimpered and bean crying again. She proceeded to tell we about getting raped, and aborted.

I listened with all ears, and the urge to just kiss her grew stronger. I didn't know what it was, I had only just met her, but it was like I had known her all my life.

It began to rain, "Well, we both are murders I guess. But only one of us will live with regret."

I was confused by her words, was she going to kill me or something. She must of caught my confusion and replied, "Oh, I can't, I can't liv with myself knowing that a beautiful child, my, my child is dead because of me. So I, um, I took a drug, and it's going to kill me, in about ten minutes."

"So, so your committing suicide?" I asked in shock.

She nodded, "Can you stay, you seem like the type of person that I would love to spend the last ten minutes of my life with."

It began to pour. My tear, her tears, nature's tears, they all collided. I then knew I had to make her last minutes unforgettable. I scooped her face into my hands and our lips collided. She kissed back,

We broke apart, she said, "I don't, I don't even know you!"

She was about to continue when I interrupted, "But does it even matter! When I first saw you, you were so Beautiful! I wanted to kiss you then because of your, your beautiful face. You look and act like an angel, and it wasn't your fault, it was your parents fault for your abortion! Their the true murderers!"

"You think I'm beautiful?!" she replied as she stood up,

I stood up as well, and shook my head in agreement.

We collided our lips again, the kiss lasting forever, unforgettable.

Her knees collapsed and I caught her in my arms. I laid her down on the bench. She looked at me, her eyes shining with beauty.

"Well this is it, thank you.... for, for loving me like no one ever has. True love, thank you." Her smile faded away, her clutched hand released my shirt. She was gone.

*********************************************************************************************

"Ouch!"

I turned to find a paper airplane had hit me. It landed on the ground next to my feet. It had been ten minutes since the girl had past away in my arms. I was emotionally unsure how to feel.

I look up, to see a little girl, about four staring and giggling at me. She pointed to the plane, which unusually hadn't dispersed into a  pile of dissolved stuff.  I looked up with confusion.

The girl ran to her parents, that I hadn't seen standing there. The mother, wait, my mother picked her up and they all waved at me. I ran towards them, to hug them for being alive, but when I touched them, they broke into millions of particles.

I turned and the paper airplane hit me once again, the girl standing feet away, motioning for me to read it. I picked it up and read it aloud.

"My mommy loved you so much, she was sad to leave you there alone. Your mommy and daddy said that you didn't murder them, your daddy had fixed to brakes years ago after you didn't. Someone cut their brakes for revenge. My mommies name is Olivia, by the way. You would've been my daddy, if fate had taken its correct course. So, hi daddy! Me and mommy miss and love you so much!"

I look up and there I see Olivia, holding the little girl, her daughter.

"Where are you guys?! I need to see you again, in person!" I yell. They point up to the skies, of course heaven.

I knew my love was strong, and the only people I loved were gone, there was no one else. I started running the opposite direction, the plane in hand. I finally reach my destination.

I look over the railing to the overflowing river, splashing in a unknown motion. I sighed, "Well, here goes nothing."

I look to the skies and I jump.
