Jeremy's POV We started seeing each other everyday. I hadn't asked her to be my girlfriend yet, but I was planning to today. The doorbell rang. I went to go answer it, and found Max standing on my porch, looking the most sober I've ever seen him. Ever since I found out he cheated on my girl- err, well, not mine yet- I hadn't talked to him much. "Dude, what's up with us?" he asked. "What's up? What's UP!?" I yelled. "You broke her heart! You cheated on her! Why would you do that!?" He was silent for a moment. I could see him struggle to think of an answer. "You know I loved her, dude," he said. "How do I know this!?" I yelled louder. Silence filled the air again. "Exactly," I sneered. "Just leave, Max. And never come back." With that, he left my house and went to his. Serves him right. I closed the door and went to my room to get ready. I had to look perfect. I was asking her to be my girlfriend. After getting ready and setting everything up for our date, I called Alex. "Hello?" she asked. "Hey," I smiled. "Meet me at the beach in an hour." "Okay," she said. "See you there." We both hung up. It was going to be perfect. Or so I thought...
Alex's POV I started getting ready. Why hasn't Jeremy asked me to be his girlfriend yet? Is he asking me tonight? All of these questions exploded in my mind. What if he doesn't like me in that way? What will I do then? I hated thinking of it this way, but I knew that it could end up that he only wants to be friends. Friends...that word made my heart sink. After I was finally ready, I got into my car and drove to the beach. When I got there, I stepped out and went to the place where Jeremy and I first met. I remember it like it was yesterday....they were such good memories. "Hello, Alex," said a voice behind me. I turned around and saw a dark figure. Before I could question who it was, I was knocked out by a baseball bat. Then, everything went black.
Alex's POV Was I dead? Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace. That's what I felt right now. Peace. No love, no fear, no regrets. Was this what death feels like? Maybe death was the right thing. Nothing was going my way anyway. Or maybe it's not. Maybe he did like me. But it's too late now. There's no going back. In the distance, I saw a bright light. Something was pulling me towards it. It was just so beautiful. "Alex," boomed a voice. "Who's there?" I shook in fear. "Do you know where you are?" the voice said. "No," I cried. "I'm so confused!" "You are in the gateway to Heaven," the voice said. "Do you want to go back and live your life on Earth? Or do you want to end it all now and live in peace for the rest of eternity?" I thought for a moment. There was no one left for me to love on Earth. But he might like me...I doubt it. "Okay," I said confidently. "I've made my decision."
