OMG he finally said something! lol.



"Is everybody here?" I say into my cell when we've called everybody. There is a series of grunts and moans. I figured everyone would be tired. It is pretty early, even for a school day. "Ivy, is Carlos next to you?"
"Yeah. Do want to be on speaker?"
"Duh. That's why I asked you to get him. I need him to hear this too."
"Neji. Just tell us what it is. We have to get ready for school sometime." You can always count on Anastacia to want to get right to the point, I think.
"It's bad news. I'm--" I take a deep breath. "I'm going to-- ... I'm going to die."
"That's old news. We're all dead, remember?" Tasha chimes happily. She loves bringing up our little joke.
"No. I'm really going to die. I got shot through my window last night. Almost all of my blood flow is blocked in my main artery." Silence hurts my ears when I finish talking. "Please talk, you guys. I don't have much time. I really want to spend time talking with friends." By now I've already logged onto my e-mail and started on my message for everybody I can't call.
"... Sorry" I hear Carlos mumble. Stopping typing, I look at the ceiling and sigh.
Charlie finally finds his voice and says "So... what do you want to talk about?"
I smile at that and look back at the laptop screen. "I don't really care, as long as we talk. Hey, Sai, why don't you come up with something random? You're always good at that." I say playfully and laugh a little.
She laughs too and replies "My costume is almost done."
"Cool I can't wait to see it!" Anastacia nearly squeels, forgetting the sadness.
The others continue to talk while I listen happily and review what I had typed for the email.

Dear friends,
I really wish I didn't have to type this, but I think it is a good idea to tell you instead of you wondering why I am not talking to any of you. Last night, on the 15th of January, a bullet went through a window of my house and went into my body. I am currently in the hospital, but by the time you read this I may have already passed on. Remember that I love you and always have, even when we fought. Don't be sad, but instead be happy that we met. I know I am. Oh, and for those who know how much I joke about these kind of things, know that I am unfortunately not kidding this time.

Love always,
Jasmine

I frown and think There is something wrong... Then I click on the second to last line and backspace, changing the farewell to:

I'll watch over you,
Jasmine

I smile again, satisfied with the product, and reluctantly click on the send button.
"Neji are you still there?" the worried voice of Aaron asks.
My mind goes back to the phone conversation just in time and I say "Yeah, sorry."
There are a few sighs of relief. "Good. Don't scare us like that!" JT says, surprising me because he rarely says anything to imply that he cares.
"... Sorry" I tell them and smile serenely at the laptop's keyboard.
