            I look up and I see Kalden on top of me. He pushed me out of the piece of the car. I mean he saved me. I guess he came at the perfect time. I wasn’t looking at the sky anymore so I wasn’t frozen in my spot. Just to make sure I never took my eyes off of Kalden’s face. I just can’t seem to realize that I was so close to dieing, closer than you could have ever imagined. I hope Kalden wasn’t hurt. I mean there could be a good chance. I was just baffled. I wouldn’t ever want anything bad to happen to Kalden. He is all I have left now. I hear everyone coming out of the house. I could hear all of them just running down the stairs. Not one by one but all of them like they were fighting to see who could get here first. He stood up and he held out his hand. I grabbed on to it and I just knew this was the best moment of the day. Even when I had just seen my mom die right in front of me being with him made it all better. He pulls me up and I try as hard as I can not to look at the sky. I don’t want to face any of them.

            “Come on, let’s go.” I told Kalden.

            “Why?” He asked wondering why.

            “Because I don’t want to deal with them, it would just be less complicated if we left.” I replied.

            “Ok, follow me.” He grabbed my hand and we went sprinting off.

            “Wait,” I said. I took of my sweatshirt and threw it into the firing car pieces.

            “Why did you do that?”

            “Because if I was alive I would live with Garry, now I can take some new identity.” I told him.

            “Ok, but we should go somewhere no one will see you so they actually think your dead.”

            We started running again. We ran as fast as we could. He ran to the right of me so anyone in the street had a less of a chance to notice me. We ran for what seemed like miles. We were lucky no one was really up because it was Saturday. We decided we would go to his house and I would just kind of teleport in his room. We would then use his computer to somehow get me a new identity. We appeared in front of his door. He showed me wear his room was and I say his window. I closed my eyes as he told me what it looked like. With navy blue walls, trophies from swimming, baseball, basketball, and football on shelves on the wall by his bed, a desk with a laptop in the right corner next to the window, and his bed on the other side of the window. I pictured myself in there. When I opened my eyes, I was in his room. A minute later Kalden came through the door. He closed the door slowly to make as little noise as possible, and then locked it. He grabbed his chair and started to do something with his computer. I was amazed he was accessing government files and everything.

            Wow, were did you learn to do that? I put the question into his head because I was afraid I would be too loud if I talked.

            I kind of laughed at the thought of Kalden in a computer club. I didn’t laugh out loud though. I hope he didn’t hear my thoughts. He started accessing files. He got up this thing that looked to be a birth certificate.  He entered a name. Madison McPenske. I liked the Madison part, but the last name seemed weird. He entered the date June 22^nd, 1993. He knew 22 was my favorite number and June was my favorite month. Then it was October then it is July. January and March are also two months I like. He filled out the rest of the information. He did a whole bunch of stuff. He stated I was home schooled by unknown foster parents, and I was from an unknown orphanage. It looked about an hour.

            We start to hear his brother and sisters wake up. We can hear them all running through the hallway.

            “Okay, now you have to change your looks. You have long wavy/curly brunette hair, blue eyes, and about a few inches shorter than me.” He told me.

            “How am I supposed to change my image?”

            “Just think about the person I told you, you were, almost like you did to get in my room.”

            I thought about the person he just described. It was going to be different, but no one would recognize me. I thought about it real hard. Kept repeating long wavy/curly brunette hair, blue eyes, and a little bit shorter than Kalden. Over and over I ran that through my head. I tried so hard not to think about anything else. I did for so long I forgot I had my eyes shut.

            “Okay, open your eyes.” I could tell Kalden had just seen something amazing by the tone of his voice. I heard this voice before when I first got my thoughts in his head. He took his camera and took a picture of me. Then he showed it to me. I really did look like a girl with brunette long wavy/curly hair and blue eyes which means I am a few inches shorter than Kalden. This is amazing. He told me to go and wait for him by the lake view which was a few blocks down. He would meet me there but first he wanted to watch the news. The sunrise was over and I knew it was ok now. I closed my eyes and thought about being outside. I opened my eyes and I was outside. I walked on the side walk. I was going to go straight to the lake view but I decided to see what happened by my house. I mean what has happened since I was gone. I got there and a whole bunch of people were there. I say my mother’s dead body covered up in a black zip up bag on a stretcher by the ambulance. There were reporters and I tried to hear as much as I could of what they were saying. They said stuff about Nadalia being cremated when the cars hit and the explosion happened. The only remains were the burnt up sweatshirt. They said that it was a sad day for the family. There were reporters all over Garry and his so called children. He talked about how much he loved us and I just had to leave then. I walk down to the lake view and waited for Kalden.

            It wasn’t that long, but it wasn’t that fast. It was somewhere between the two. He came walking down the side walk with a picnic basket in hand. I had a good idea what the picnic basket was for, but I had to asked when he came over.

            “What’s that for?” I asked him half knowing his reply.

            “It’s for lunch.” He told me.

            He set it down by a tree close to where we were sitting. We talked a bit and then he got out a blanket out of the basket and we had lunch right next to the lake. It was just sandwiches, but being with him made me forget everything that has happened. It was just a great time. On the worst day ever I get a new identity and have my first date. Yes, my first date. I guess it can’t be the worst date anymore. I sat down by the lake and put my feet into the cold water. Kalden sat down next to me.

            “The lake is beautiful isn’t it.” I told him.
            “Yeah, but you now what?” He asked.

            “What?”

            “You are more beautiful than anything in the world.”

            He is so sweet. I can’t believe I get him. I am so happy. He is funny and charming. Suddenly I fall right into the lake.

            “Kalden I will kill you.” I yelled at him. As I find my self freezing in the cold water.

            “So, what’s more fun than swimming.” He says as he jumps into the water.

            We splash and swim around each other for hours. He grabs my arm and pulls me close to him. We get closer and closer. I know what he is going to do. I so want to, but I can’t. I don’t think I can. Can I? I have no idea. I want to with all my might, but at the last second I go under water and swim to the shore. He follows me and we sit.

            “So now that I am Madison. Now where will I go to sleep because I have no house?”

            “Well, I could ask my mom. We have a guest room.”

            “Yeah, that would work.”

            He grabs my hand, and I now I left him heart broken when I didn’t kiss him in the water. We get closer, so close I can feel our body heat exchange. I can’t back down this time. I have to do it. He leans in half way and I lean in half way. Our lips touch, and it was the best seconds of the day.
