I also love to gift this to Cici352 , Angel_Turned_Dark and Lady_Sagittarius, who was the judge of that contest. But seems like I fail to get the judge's attention. I am gonna try again and again even though I fail again and again because I am a writer to start with...

July 1st 1997...

The day, where everything changed in my life.

After that, I woke up with the blinding lights of the white hospital room. Today, the date is 26th December of 1997...

All were happy for my "safe to home normally" arrival. My friends held a huge party, on the next day. You may think, I would be delighted by that. But... I am not happy though I acted like I am enjoying but Jesse and Jennifer found it, I just said them that I am feeling weird after lying down without doing anything for five months straight. Though they don't believe it, they just left the topic.

I am not happy because it Just... It felt off. Like I am forgetting something important, more like someone. But whom am I forgotten, was my question.

Who? Whom am I missing?...was an unanswered question within me, left to be answered...

Though I missed most of my classes because of me being in Coma. Now, I think it's fine to attend the classes because I don't want to miss my Grade. I was still in my second year of high school, happy that I don't miss any more classes.

Sooner, winter holidays are gonna show up. But I got a call off to stay in school because of my long absence. Though I am happy for that, the fact that I am a nerd. But still... I would be missing my friends. I never showed up for these kind of things because I am one of the top three ranker in my school, including my best friend Jennifer...

After the not so boring winter holidays, I was staying with my friends for celebrating Christmas. It's making me quite jealous that all were couples now. Ah!...how I wished that I would be also, one day-(but suddenly I felt a pang in my head and I see or should I say like remembering something...
w-wait...that grin. whose was that? I figured out, It's a memory but with whom...
Jesse and Jennifer asked me in unison " Are you fine Sofia?" I said yes but am I really fine?...

It was a nice day, when we all went to the festival to welcome the New year. I feel like Someone should be there with me now like last year, but...who? Ah!... this is so frustrating...

After celebrating the so-called festival. Even after seeing all happy faces of the people, I can't be happy. It's like it's gone with someone who wasn't here, after that accident...

School days were as usual in a moderate state with my friends turned couples. I don't know when these guys became so lovey-Dovey, all of a sudden. Before my accident, all were refusing to admit their feels but now they were being madly in love. What even happened,when I was suffering from Coma for just five months? Something Fishy....

Then, sooner we got into the Main exams and as usual, I was able to pass it in ease, even though I had a huge break in between.
.....Advantages of being a nerd.....I think.

After that, we all planned to go to the nearby beach, where we all first met each other. From that day on, on the first Wednesday of every year's summer vacation, where the crowd is less, we would all go there and have a day off. No modern devices, No stress. Only friends with fun in the beach. It's a unnamed tradition to us.

So like that, this year too we planned but it seems everyone is busy after all. Seems like Maria, Eric and Jesse are preparing to enroll for their universities. Oh! Yeah I forget to say that they are a year older to all in our group except Juliet and Romeo, who are a year younger to us.

Then, Garry said that his father's health is in bad shape. So he planned on travelling back to his home town while Jane accompanied him. I should have went with him for I felt bad but you see Jane is over-protective towards Garry and she actually thinks me as Love rival, though they where dating...Really!...I can't believe her.

As for our juniors, Juliet is taking care of Romeo because of his illness. Doctors said that it was just a Heat stroke, hope he get well soon. As for my best friend Jennifer, I don't know what happened to her. She was smiling at one moment, but then all sad. It's creeping me out, though I asked, she won't answer and then we have Linda but I doubt I can have a day off with good and peaceful fun. She would rather make me drunk or worse tease me. I am getting chills just by imagining it.

Guess, it's just me who is free. Then I will take a look at the sun rise in the beach because.........I can't sleep at all. I am insomniac now-a-days...

So I went, took a bath, did my morning chores and left out to the beach. I was wearing my most favorite baby blue sundress with a grass hat which had artificial blue roses.

When I was standing near the shore with my feet drowning, mesmerized at the huge reddish orange star emerging from the horizon, I hear some one calling me.
Who was it? They sound familiar... When I looked around, I saw a boy with brown hair, blue eyes and a huge grin in his face walking towards me. It looked like he was emerging from the Sun. He then breathed out
" Sofia, it's been months that I have seen you this closer". Wait...do I know him, who is he? I don't...re...member him....wait....it's HIM. The person, I have been trying to remember, it's him. My first best friend and also my secret crush....

Max Machelle.

I gave him a bear hug and rambled about random things always ending with an idiot. How can he leave me? I was trying hard to figure "that person" that I got insomnia but he was just simply saying "sorry" for everything. But I am happy I remembered him at least now, how can I forget my silly boy. Silly me.

After our little reunion, we spend our time together by playing games, eating Ice creams, smashing watermelons, making sand castles and also I buried him into a girl. I was truly happy this time for he is there with me, the person who makes me feel, like............. Myself.

It was already evening, we headed back to my place and he talks about random things. After dinner, we watched The Television which was playing Max's favorite show,
" The dragon warriors ". ( A/N: I just made it, out). It was midnight and I prepared to sleep, while Max...he was just staring at me. What happened to him, all of a sudden? When I asked him about that he just changed the topic and said he was too sleepy that he slept in my bed, itself. Though I would push him away seems like I want him or rather need him near me. so this time...I let it go.

It was already Morning. When I put my hands on my left, I feel no heat but felt so cold. Cold as ice, where is Max? Did he left me again or is it just a dream? It's too vivid to be a dream. Then where is he? Suddenly I felt chills and there he stands in a white tux like he is a bridegroom. Wait...is he gonna propose to me? Calm down, Sofi, it's Max. Maybe he has some reason for it. He lift me in bridal style and kept running towards the beach and then to a nearby grave yard and stopped. He placed me down and shows a grave, there embedded

"Max Machelle ''

'A cheerful young lad who makes everyone's Day lies here, peacefully...'

I was too shocked to even move. Then I remember that accident, he took the impact in place of ME! It's my fault that he is...gone. When I was weeping like a child, he hugged and kissed me. He said that he came here to give me a final farewell. He said though, he wasn't here, he would still be for me. Looking after me and said me to "Move on"...How can I, you idiot because I love you so much that my heart breaks into fragments. But he was gone. Taking everything from me... he was gone...disappeared into thin air saying he loves me too. How can he leave me? You idiot, you won't leave a girl after she confessed. You idiot...my idiot...but he was gone...and so am I..

Everything is a bad dream, a nightmare and I was sleeping in my house, while Max was in my couch and I slept in my bed. After the birthday party of mine...Max presented me, his gift in my room. He said he wanted to give it to me in secret. It was hair pin similar to my late mom's. It had the butterfly in blue while my mom's was pink. I wear both in my hair and Max was laughing for that. Am I that funny looking? but what he said made me blush for he said that I look so cute in them. He was an idiot....but still he is my idiot.

But little did I know that Nightmare is slowly coming true..............
