Changes

 I'm watching everything rush by, like I can't get enough of 

     anything surrounding me.

  I am so ecstatic, I just can't picture a more perfect 

        moment: sitting in the car on the freeway to California. 

              My family was adventuring off to Disneyland. You could 

                      just feel the excitement in the car as we pulled up to the beach

                              house we were going to stay at. We're unloading our stuff from

                       the car into the house. We are just running around having so 

              much fun when all of a sudden my mom gets a call, from 

        my aunt. I didn't have to look at my mom to know 

   something was terribly wrong. The whole house 

was silent and I finally looked at my mom.

    The tears were streaming down her face and there

    was nothing but shock. We were all asking her 

    what was happening, what was going on. She

    finally told us. 

       My cousin had shot herself earlier on that day.

     I couldn't believe a word of it, I was in complete

   shock. I just stared off into space for hours not 

  even knowing what was going on in my head. All

 I could think, as I stood out on the beach was,

                     things can be going so great at one moment

                   and the next your staring at the sun setting over

                 the ocean like it was her, saying her final goodbye,

                                            to the world.
