Violet Sky

I looked up at the sky. A million and one thoughts running through my head. I was wondering who would win the talent show, hoping it would be me, and did a quick mental revision over the lyrics just to make sure I knew them; I was going to sing 'Everytime We Touch' by Cascada. I love that song, it's one of my favorites and reminds me of my boyfriend. Sorry, I haven't actually introduced myself yet. My name is Lucianna Black, I am 16 years old and love to sing (if you haven't already caught that). Please call me Lucie, I hate being called Lucianna (and don't call me that just to wind me up). I also love writing lyrics. My best friend is Abigail Davison (Abi for short). I was still looking at the sky when I heard my name being called. I turned on my heels and my lips meet a beautifully warm kiss from my amazingly cute boyfriend, Nat Levin.
"Hey babe, dreaming again? Whatcha want to do tonight? Moonlight ride?" He asks. I giggle and nod. I love Nat with all my heart and know that I'd do anything for him, whatever sacrifices I have to make. We're still standing on the edge of the cliff, laughing, when Abi walks over to us and asks if we want to go for a swim. Hours later, we rose from the water and wrapped ourselves up in towels. Just in case you were wondering, we are all in our swimwear so no worries. Nat and I sat on the beach for half an hour until we were completely dry. Then we quickly changed into our cothes and he reminded me about our moonlight ride we were scheduled for, so I followed him over to his super-cool motorbike. I placed his helmet on his head and clipped it up. I gave him a quick kiss on the lips then jumped onto the back of his motorbike. It was wonderful. But after a while we were going too fast and my legs started shaking badly. He felt it against his side and shouted over his shoulder:
"What's the matter baby girl? You're shaking" I scoop the hair out of my eyes.
"Nat, please. Slow down. You're scaring me." We were going about 100 miles-per-hour on a dusty, abandoned road and I was petrified
"Then give me a hug" I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him really tight.
"There you go, I gave you a hug. Now please slow down" I was really worried now.
"Then give me a kiss" I leant round to the side and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Now can you please slow down?"
"Then say you love me"
"Fine, I LOVE you. Now PLEASE slow down!"
"Then take my helmet off me and put it on you, it's bugging me." I do as he asks, hoping that will make him slow down. I see a flash and scream at the top of my voice.

I wake up in hospital. My left arm heavily bandaged, along with my right leg. I see half a dozen stitchs on my left leg and nearly vomit. I shut my eyes then opened them again. A nurse opens the door to my ward and smiles as she walks towards me. She asks me how I'm doing. My voice was breaking but I managed to say how much pain I'm in.
"Where's Nat? How is he? Is he okay?" I ask her. I suddenly get a sickly feeling in my stomache and start to really worry about him.
"He... The brakes broke and... I guess he didn't want you to know... didn't want to scare you and... He didn't make it. He died when you hit that Land Rover."
"Land Rover? My parents have a Land Rover..." She looks to the floor and nods. "Oh no! NO! Did they survive? Where are they? Are they ok?" I ask the nurse, hurriedly, really panicking now. I sense the answer but want it to be proven true before I jump to conclusions. She shakes her head and I scream as loud as my voice will go.
"I'm so sorry Lucie, we did everything we could. They were barely breathing when the paramedics arrived, there wasn't much we could do Lucie, please." I slow my breathing down as much as I could before asking if they both died. They did. My mum and dad were both dead, along with my boyfriend and I have nowhere else to turn to. I have no living family members so... I'm now an orphan. Great. No, I can't say stuff like that now. My parents have just died and all I can think about is me! I burst into tears. I cry and cry and cry, until I run out of tears. A massive lump forms in my throat and I choke on it through my bitter tears. I pull the skanky pillow over my face so no-one would see me like this. I choke again. I feel like death. And I actually want to die, painfully. I want to hurt more than anyone ever has before. I hate this. I hate me. And I let Nat die aswell. I shouldn't of took his helmet off. I should of died, not him. What did I do to deserve this? Why me? Why them? Why them and not me? That made me cry even harder. The nurse sits on the edge of my hospital bed and strokes the leg that isn't all bandaged up. I turn onto my tummy and sob into my pillow again before I fall asleep, my hair a soggy mess matted to my forehead. My dreams were filled with Nats perfect face and the last ride I took with him.
