Chapter 2- Chris Park
The following morning, Jade awoke to the feel of her mother shaking her. Her eyes opened slowly. “Sweetie, I know it’s early but could you go to the store and get some grits for breakfast? I’m not feeling well enough to go myself.” Her mother said with a kindly tone. Jade slowly nodded her head and then went back under the covers. Jade’s mother tapped on her. “Now.” Her mother demanded. Jade sighed and got out of bed. She quickly changed into something appropriate and combed out her hair. She hopped on her bike that her father had given to her, before he got in that terrible car accident. She slowly but quickly peddled to the nearest grocery.
She came to a stop in front of the grocery store that read “Carters Supermarket”. Jade parked her bike by the rails provided and went into the store. She wanted to make her trip quick so she quickly grabbed a basket and almost broke her neck trying to get to the breakfast aisle. Once she was on the aisle, she searched for the biggest but cheapest box of instant grits, She found what she was looking for, so she proceeded to the checkout counter. “$2.50’ The clerk announced. Jade dug in her pocket and pulled out two dollars. “I don’t seem to have the 50 cents,” Jade said with worry, “No 50 cents, no product.” The clerk said in a heartless tone.
All of a sudden a thin Korean boy with jet black hair smiled and stepped in front of Jade. “I’ll pay the 50 cents” The Asian offered generously with his thick Korean accent, The clerk took the money as Jade took her product. “Thank you,” Jade said to the boy. “Don’t worry about it. I love helping pretty ladies like you out.” He said with a big smile. Jade blushed and smiled. “What’s your name?” Jade asked. “Ki- Suh Park. But since I moved to America, my name is Chris.” He responded. Jade nodded. “My name is Jade Neal.” She said with a smile. “Like the gemstone.” Chris added with a smile. “Yeah.” Jade said. ‘Well, I have to go now. Hope to see you around.” Jade told her friend.
“Yes. I will find you soon.” Chris responded. Jade smiled and walked away with happiness.
On her way home she jumped up in the air and screamed “Oh yeah!”. Amanda happened to see this through her window, so she rushed to the scene. “What are you so happy about, Miss. Neal?” Amanda asked as she walked along her best friend. “It’s not Miss. Neal no more. It’s Mrs. Park.“ Jade announced with a smile and a giggle. “Wait. What?” Amanda asked with confusion. “I went down to Carter’s this morning and met this totally sweet and cute boy whose name happens to be Chris Park.” Jade said all proud. Amanda smiled and clapped. “Details, Details!“ Amanda demanded. “Okay. First off, he’s Korean. Second off, he’s cute. And third off, he’s got the personality of an angel.” Jade responded to Amanda’s demands. “Oh God, he’s Asian? What a hunk! Say no more, he’s the one.” Amanda said. “I know right?” Jade asked with a smile. Amanda nodded with a smile.
The two girls got to the house by 9:00. They rushed into Jade’s home like two happy racehorses. “Wow. Aren’t you two happy campers today.” Jade’s mother said with a giggle as she fried eggs over a stove. Jade laughed and nodded as her and Amanda raced upstairs to Jade’s room.

He longs to just just wring her neck, to make her stop breathing. His hands form a fist, wishing her neck was there. He watches her without a care in the world. Acting stupid and ignorant. He wants the satisfaction that only her death will bring. He imagines her dead and laughs insanely. His phyco smile matches his insane personality.
They don't know anything. She's alone. All on her own. She hates that she suffers alone. She wants them suffer, to hear their screams of pain. But like everything else, it's useles. She can't do anything about it. She's alone to cry, scream, and moan. No one to comfort or hold her. She sucks it up and faces the world. Alone.

when love dies
Love is the cause of innocent cries,
As when love dies,
Love becomes a lie,
The death of their love,
They mourn,
As their hearts are torn,
Broken hearts drift apart,
As they reminisce on the past,
Of the love they hoped would last,
Tears rot into the ground,
As they mourn what they had found;
A love that made them feel sound,
Their only hope if for their love to unfold,
As without eachother their hearts are cold,
Their only comfort; someone to hold,
Their hopes crushed,
for eachother they no longer lust,
As in eachother they no longer trust,
A thought keeping them awake;
For eachother, should they wait?
Or is it already too late?
Can they ever find another,
Or were they made for eachother?
Can they withstand not being together?
[ Because]
When love dies,
Everything turns to lies,
Because when love dies,
We fall apart inside

Silent shadows in the dead of night.
Ghostly girls whisper "everything's alright."
Dark and lonely in the space provided,
Gets the little boys exited.
The screech of the staircase as each boy took a step, Awaken the parents of the girls whom are kept.
The boys have shivers down there spine,
Seems like the girls lied when they said everything was fine.
The boys run fast away, sadly only one shall stay.
The whistle blew and time came few, so who shall it be? Sadly the boys wished the ghostly girls they couldn't see.
Down through the halls they giggled with glee, for they had a new toy that was as precious as me.

Celluoid ghost from Hollywood's past
Forever haunt me on my television screen
Trapped on video to act out their roles
For all eternity
Judy Garland is in Oz
While Errol Flynn is in Sherwood Forest
The Marx Brothers spend a night at the opera
And a day at the races
Humphrey Bogart fights crime
While James Cagney leads a life of crime
I beleive The Kinks were right
when they said
Celluoid heroes never die
Because they are here with us forever
On our televison screens
Note: This poem was inspired by the song
"Celluoid Heroes" by The Kinks

i open my eyes
invisible
a loner in a dark abyss
surrounded by endless oxygen
my only friend.
during day im average
alone im nothing but my own enemy.
Everyone thinks im so funny
never serious
use to be alone. shy
dont like this feeling.
empty completely
no emotions consume me.
just the dark shell surrounding me.
i want to break through it
but it hardens as i make the gesture
my mind is blank
never thought id be perfect
never thought id be in a dark abyss.
i want to find a friend that wont decieve me
all i want is a best friend. . .
