A few beforehand notes

This is pretty much a true story. Some parts have been altered for reasons and no names are placed in because of security reasons. You'll hear a few similar phrases over and over.

 It's been two years since....Two years since I remember him smiling at the love of his life. He was a medium sized guy. You know, 5'4 ish, not too fat, not too skinny. He wasn't the most handsome guy at school but his looks got him around a lot of girls and teachers here and there. He was known as the "handsome geek." But honestly, I knew him by "cousin."

He was only 15 when he began losing his nerve. I could tell when he was beginning to lose his flirtatious personality. And as his best friend and cousin, the two of us could share all of our secrets to each other. I believe that his problems were rooted from three things: friends, family, and love. I'm betting though, that he cared mostly about love. Everyday on IM, he'd always mention a girl that "surpassed all the others" he'd met. He'd never stop talking about her and it drove me absolutely crazy so I decided to act. Being as shy as he was now, he had me go talk to her first. I did and I found her to be a sweet and shy girl as well. I told my cousin of my conversation and he took down all the information lustfully. He wanted even more information so he decided to make his move now. So, he gave me a poem that I was to send to her and of course, I took a peek inside.....I've got to say, though, that was one of the best romance poems I had ever seen. It was clear now that he wanted her more than anything else.....

Five weeks later, I stood watching a casket being laid into a large hole dug into the earth. Then another casket was laid into another hole 3 feet away from the other. The priest began the prayers and we all bowed our heads in silence. I never paid much attention to the prayers so instead, I put my cousin in rememberance.....It had happened so very quickly...One day after school, he had been walking alongside her and in the next moment, she was gone. It seems that the girl was far beyond beautiful and everybody was infatuated. I have to admit as well, that she was very attractive. Anyway, my cousin had taken her heart with his poem and they liked each other for as long as I knew. But liked turned to loved and they spent all their time together while I sat back and watched them everyday doing there daily romance. During his relationship, me and my cousin never really talked to each other anymore. He was too blinded by love to see what was going on around him: Jealousy. One day, him and his girlfriend were invited to a party and of course, they went. I tried to talk them out of the idea but he was too stubborn to listen to me. All he said was that he'd go out with her for awhile....A little dancing, a few sodas and he'll leave. I didn't believe him for a bit. From what I heard later on, it was a disaster. A horrible disaster....Here's what he told me.....

"I lost her.....Lost her that night....I was only drinking a little. Dancing a little, just as I said, until a group of guys started harassing my love. Like any other girl, she played along for a little while, but stopped when it got too far. I told the guy to get away from her but that only resulted in trash talking. I did so back to him but that happened to be the biggest mistake I had ever made. He drew out a gun and aimed it right at me while my back was turned. He fired without hesitation but my heart protected me......But it had also shattered......

"I had quickly turned around to feel the blow of death but no such thing occured. Instead, I saw the shocked expression of my love there; transfixed and frozen. She immediately fell to my arms and tried pulling herself up my arms. I could see that blood was pouring down her shoulder. I gaped and I couldn't believe what was happening. She finally reached head-height with me and drew her last breath. That last breath turned to a kiss and there she went limp. I slowly let her down near the wall and put my jacket over her wound so that her beauty wouldn't be mixed in blood and death. Everyone in the room was transfixed and were all glaring at me to see waht I would do next. I got up slowly, wiped away my tears, and with blind fury, head-charged the guy who had shot her. Everyone was taken back while I was beating the guy's face apart. my friends and his friends tried to restrain me but I was in blind fury and all I cared about was bloodshed. I wanted him to pay for what he did! Killing her body and killing my soul! Never will I go anywhere but roam and haunt the earth.......I finally was restrained by the police and watched the guy's face bleed as I was cuffed and pulled away. The last thing I saw was my love's face; hurt and expressionless.......

Author's Comments......The majority of this tale is true. I get caught up in this sometime later. Remember, this is part one. There is more to come and more to reveal.
