Part One: Flashbacks come and they go
John Burb
I bent down with the watering can in my hand, watering the last organic plant in my garden. I put the can down, my arm aching in pain. My feet took a few steps back, bending down, and my head looked up at the sky. The night was beautiful and the moon was full. My OCD was forbidding me from concentrating on anything else. The sky looked just like the sky back in my old life. I remember meeting Jennifer and getting married to her. She had been with me for eight years now. I flashed back to the day I met her. Sitting in the park with nothing to do, she appeared in front of me with a smile on her face.
She asked, âMay I sit down?â I remember staring at her in disbelief. I had no idea why someone like her would want to talk to someone like me. I nodded, and she sat down. We ended up chatting the whole day. Jennifer gave me her phone number when she had to leave. We ended up dating, and after three and a half years, I proposed to her.
I got up from my knees and walked inside. The steam from the kitchen was blazing, but still a relief from the cold night air. Jennifer was in the kitchen with her body in front of the stove. She turned her head as soon as I opened the door and sprinted over to me, untimely. Her body halted in front of me as she held up a pregnancy test with a little pink plus sign on it.
Part Two: The Twin from Heaven and the Twin from Hell
Lilith Pleasant
I stomped into my dark, depressing bedroom. Angela and I had gotten in another fight. She had accused me of having s3x with my boyfriend Dirk. Iâm still a virgin! Angelaâs the slutty one. The amount of birth control pills that were in here bedroom were too many to count. I stepped over to my charcoal colored bed and sat down.
I stared at my feet and whispered, âI hate you Angela! I hate you Angela! I hate you Angela!â over and over again. I glanced at my wall with a Slash poster on it. âOh slash; please tell me what to do.â I collapsed on the bed and closed my eyes, and eventually, drifted into a long, dreamful sleep.

Angela Pleasant
I stumbled into my bedroom, closed my door, and stepped over to my bed. Lilith and I just had a fight. We had fights almost every week. She was calling me a slut, just because Dustin and I have s3x every Saturday night. I sighed and hugged my pillow. Lilith despises me and always will. I looked up at my ceiling, seeing my bright, girly fan.
I took another deep breathe and reached over to my end table and grabbed my bottle of red wine. I know Iâm only sixteen, but Dustin convinced me to drink alcohol. I opened the bottle, got out a glass, and some wine into it. Taking a sip, I stepped over to my computer and turned it on. I logged into my instant messenger and saw that Dustin was online. Taking another sip, I messaged him.

Part 3: Teen Relationships Arenât Serious
Brandi Broke
I flipped thorough my fashion magazine and finally was satisfied on page 34, showing an article about Paris Hilton. My hand rubbed on my back, swelling in soreness. I placed my hand back on the top of the bed. It sunk into the floral silk and relaxed in ease. I crossed my legs and put the magazine down. Something wasnât right. I started to take notice of fighting from the living room of the small trailer that sat far away from town. It sounded like my son, Dustin, arguing with someone again. Dustin was in consistent arguments whether it would be with Angela, Skip, or even his baby brother Beau.
I stared at the door of my bedroom and wondered if my pregnant self should have to get up and amble across the room. I decided it was worth it and got up from my bed, waddling to the door. My body drenched in pain, my legs started to wobble. I finally made it to the door, out of breath. Opening the door, I saw Dustin and Angela in each others faces.
âWhere weâre you last night?!â hollered Dustin sonorously. He tapped his foot on the grey carpet in impatience.
âIâm sorry! My mom was awake until midnight! I had no chance of sneaking out!â
âWell you could have told me!â
âShe made me go to sleep at nine! She said I needed sleep for the college prep exams today! She even watched me go to sleep!â
âShut up Angela! Youâre full of lying!â
âIâm not lying!â
âI donât believe you!â
âFine! Donât believe me than! But I one thing to tell you! Weâre breaking up!â
âThatâs right! Get out of here now or Iâll break your neck!â
Angela starred at Dustin for a second, than stormed out of the house in rage. Dustin glanced at the door for another second, than turned his head to me. âIâm sorry you had to see that.â He apologized and stomped into his bedroom. I gleamed around the room in confusion and went back in my bedroom. I managed to waddled back on my bed and looked at my watch. Seven PM. Skip should have been home an hour ago.
Part 4: Phony Love
Cassandra Goth
I sat at my table at Olive Garden alone again. Don was late for about the fifth time. He always planned a dinner date for the two of us an hour before the actual date. He would call me, and say âHey baby, want to get some dinner tonight?â Iâd not even have time to say anything and heâd answer for me. He never respected me, always wanted to have s3x, but I always refused. My dad had taught me not to have s3x before marriage.
He had begged, on his knees, for me to sleep for him. I never gave in. After about the tenth time heâd ask me, heâd say, âOh my god Cass! Youâre so selfish and self centered! Get a life!â and storm off. The next day though, heâd come begging for more. It was a never ending cycle that he had trapped me in and I couldnât get out. Thatâs why I want to break up with him tonight.
I had heard rumors that Donâs a womanizer, but I never believed them. I thought he was so lovable and charming. My best friend Mary-Sue Pleasant told me that he went around, being phony with girls and trying to get in their pants. She even told me that he had asked a girl to give him a blowjob on camera. I thought Mary-Sue was dishonest and got in her face yelling, âYouâre such a liar! Donât talk to me ever again!â We havenât met eye to eye in over a month. Just this week though, I suspected Don to be cheating on me. He was always late for any kind of date and was nervous every time I tried to converse him about where he just was.
My pre-occupied thoughts were interrupted when Don came up to me, went down on one knee and asked, âWill you marry me?â
Part 5: Gold Digger
Dina Caliente
People say that love is true in the soul, but for me, itâs for money, and a lot of it. My main ambition in life was to be wealthy. Though I despise working, Iâll work my ass off for the richest man in town to think I was in true love. I had been successful once, but he died a long, painful death. At his funeral, I didnât cry because he passed away, I cried because I was broke again. After he died, social services came to my house and took most of the cash that I had gained from my work. Now a year later, Iâm ready to face another man, Mortimer Goth, Cassandra Gothâs father. Heâs the wealthiest man in Pleasantview, having over 600,000 dollars in the bank.
I collapsed on the lawn chair at the roof of my condo. Don sat on the floor next to me. He stared at me and said, âDina, youâre marrying the old dude and Iâm marring the dorky daughter, how are we going to have time for each other.â He rested his hand on the sun-bathing chair and tickled my thighs. I glanced at him, and grinned.
âRemember our plan Don? The old hag doesnât have much time left to live and Cassandra works all day. Donât worry; we can get dirty during the day.â Don sighed.
âYou forgot one thing. I work during the day too. She gets home only an hour after me. Dina, an hour isnât enough.â I took off my sun glasses and gazed at him.
âSweetie, the family is loaded, Iâm sure sheâll bring at least a few hundred thousand dollars. That way, neither of you will have to work. Just say that youâre out shopping and come here.â I caressed his cheek and pressed my lips against his. He quickly backed off as soon as my twin sister, Nina, came up the steps.
âEhâ¦Umâ¦Sorryâ¦I have to goâ¦.See you later.â He swiftly sprinted down the stairs and out of the house. Nina gleamed at him, her mouth dropped to see Don flying down the street and out of her site.
She looked back at me and asked, âWhat was that about?â She came over to me and sat down.
âOh, nothing.â I said as I got back up and gradually paced down the steps.
Part 6: All good things come to an end
Dirk Dreamer
Dear Diary,
My life is going well. Lilith and I have been serious with our relationship. I've making straight A's in school and all of my friends are great; though sometimes I feel lonely without Lilith. When she's not here I feel the strike of depression through my bones. When she's with me, I'm literally the most joyful person in history.
Ok, well my life isn't PERFECT. Dustin and I get in uncontrollable fights at school and I get depressed afterwards. Lilithâs sister, Angela, is going out with her. Now I despise going over Lilith's house or another argument will happen. I don't want another one. All I want is peace in my life and to get along with him, but alas, this will never happen in the near future, possibly not in the far future.
Last night, I told Lilith that I love her and she said that she loves me. She kissed me afterwards, and I felt the sorrow in my life lift and ridden in my life. Now that we're in love, nothing will get in the way of it. I hope nothing will happen to her or I don't know what I'll do to myself.
Dirk Dreamer Just as I finished writing, my dad knocked on my door and I yelled, "Come in." He came in my room with devastation on his face.
He sat next to me and said, "I don't know how to say this, but your girlfriend Lilith, something happened to her."
I stared at him for a few seconds and replied, "What happened to her?"
"Dirk...she's been murdered..."
