Death

Its a Monday morning, last day of school. Jacks smiling as he gets out of bed; you dont

see him doing that a lot. The reason hes smiling is because for the holidays hes going to

Sydney with his dad Jim. As he heads down the stairs, he finds his mother, there,

cooking breakfast for him. Good morning sweetie! cried Jacks mot her Lily. Lily and Jim

had been divorced for only 3 months and 26 days now, Jack always counted. Jack was an

only child, he was 10 and half when his parents split. His mother stayed in Darwin with

him, and his father moved to Alice Springs.

Oooh, bacon and eggs! screamed Jack with excitement.

Freshly cooked for you sweetie! replied Lily.

Morning Lily, morning Jack, cried Jacks half step dad; Jessie. Jack never really liked

Jessie, he always seemed so....so quiet. His mother and Jessie had only b een dating for

about 1 month now, he had moved in about two weeks after they started dating. Jack

thought it was all rushed. Alright, Im off! said Jack with a load of excitement in his voice.

As Jack got onto the bus that takes him to school every day, he went and sat down next to

his best friend James. James and Jack had been best friends ever since Jack was born.

James was younger than Jack, by about 9 months. They didnt care. Hey Jack, excited for

the holidays? asked James,

of course! replied Ja ck.

Once Jack and James made it to school, they went to their lockers. Just as they were

putting their books away, the school bully Adrian, and his gang had come up. Oi loser!

screamed Adrian, Jacks school years had been miserable because of Adrian. Yes Adrian?

asked Jack, Adrian wasnt the smartest cookie in the jar, and neither were his gang. Adrian

didnt reply, he just pushed jack into his locker, and moved on.

As Jack was recovering, the bell rang. Jack and James were in every class together , and

sadly, so was Adrian. Their first class today was Maths. Jack and James LOVED Maths, not

only because they were both good at it, but the teacher there was a very nice teacher.

After Maths, they had recess, then English, Lunch, then History; after th e day, Jack was

picked up from school by Lily, as usual.

As Jack got arrived at his house, he jumped on the computer as usual. The phone rang his

mother picked up, and she started to seem a little serious but sad at the same time, she

just walked into her room. Jack assumed that it wasnt a big deal. About half an hour

later, when Lily was usually cooking dinner, she called Jack into her room. As Jack came in,Lily was crying. Mum, whats wrong?! screamed jack as he hugged Lily, she replied with

honey, Im really sorry, but...your dad has been in a car crash....hes dead. Immediately,

Jack started crying, but screaming no..no...NO! This isnt happening! Your lying! he

slammed the door on his way out.

After about 3 hours of Jack grieving over his fath ers death, he hears the doorbell. He

opens the door to find two large, men, dressed in black. One of the men, asked, My

names Chris Choe, is your mum around?, without saying a word, Jack turned around and

screamed, MUM, SOMEONES AT THE DOOR FOR YOU.
