What would you do for love?

I walked threw the back door of the stage and there she was. The most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. Now I do not believe in love at first sight so I looked away and looked back. I knew I loved this girl before I even talked to her. This girl was amazing. She had every future that anyone would ever look for. Long golden blond hair that shimmers in the light, deep ocean blue eyes and her skin was flawless.

I stumbled to walk up to her and asked her if she had a boyfriend because I wanted to hang out. I didn’t want her boyfriend to get mad if she did have one so I was making sure. She got all giggly and said no she had just broke up with him because he had cheated on her, and she would really like to do something. From that day on we were inseparable. We went to the movies together, did our homework together, some days we would just sit and cuddle for hours until we fell asleep and had to go back to school again. I had 6 of 8 classes with her and them 2 I wasn’t seemed like the world was ending.

We were freshmen when we met. Today we are walking down the line to get our diplomas and we are still together. We have fought and gone threw the bad times but we worked threw it. The day we started dating I made her a promise. I will never cheat on you, I will never leave you, and I will make your life the happiest it will ever be with now money problems. She told me I didn’t have to keep the promise and that there is no way that I could look that far ahead.

Sure thing when I turned 18 I played the lottery. Guess who won, ME! I won the huge $200, 000,000 and I was rich. I bought everything I ever wanted. I bought her a huge necklace and ring. I even bought enough to make my band get huge. After taxes and all that I have spent I didn’t have much left. The I.R.S came after me and took all of my stuff and money I owed on taxes. I was broke again.

Our band plummeted and I went into a hole. By the age of 19 I had been a millionaire and in debt. I decided it was my time to do something for the ones I loved. My girlfriend of 6 years and the kid that I had just found out is on its way. I went signed and left for basic all within one week. I singed up for something that paid the most and was the hardest to get to. I computer hacker for the N.S.A! I had to crack codes and look at the attack plans for enemy countries.

I was gone for 3 years before I came back. I hadn’t seen her once in three years and she was so happy to see me! The first thing I wanted to see was him. His name was Haden. He was my pride and joy. I played all day with him, I played with the toy cars, and the kids video games. I swear we played with every toy he had. I explained to him were I had been and what it was like. Why I left so he could have a great life. I created a really bad habit when I was gone, Drinking!! I wanted to drink to keep the pain away from not being able to see Haden and my amazing girlfriend.

That night we got a babysitter and went out to the best place in New York to eat! We were eating and I got down on my knee and asked her to marry me. She said yes and the rest of the night was a blur. A month later I watched here walk down the aisle. I hit a flash back and remember seeing her the first time on that stage. I started crying (not a lot like balling but tearing up). I never knew someone could love someone as much as this. I would give my life to make her happy.

The pastor goes threw the lines and asked me if I do! “Nick L. heavyweight do you take Jessica m. Peterson to be you wife?’ I replied in a worried manner “pastor something is really getting to me”. Jessica looked at me in a worried look. “I can marry Jessica” “I have not been totally honest”. “I am being deployed on a level orange (very, very dangerous) mission and there is a good chance that I won’t return.” I announced this in front of my whole family, and hers and all of the people I care for and love. Jessica started crying and walked away! I quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her toured me. I whispered to her “will you ever forgive me for not telling you? I couldn’t handle telling you” “ I didn’t not want to tell you that you may not ever see me again” Crying Jessica blurted out “ Nick I love you more then anything in this world and I will never ever hold anything against you.

“Jessica Will you marry me?” I asked her again. “Will you please step back up here and marry me?” She stepped up and said I do! I kissed her and we left. The night may have been the best night in my life. A month later it came, I left and I didn’t know what I had gotten my self into.

Two weeks after I had left a lawyer came to my door and told my wife that there had been a $100 million dollar savings bond made for Haden and Jessica. It was only to be given to them if Nick was to pass away. She put two and two together. Later that day a general from my unit showed up and told Jessica what had happened. I had been out in an enemy server room cracking codes when it was attacked. I was taken hostage and they announced that I was dead. Little did anyone know that I was still alive? I killed 120 people to get out alive and I was running across the dessert looking for somewhere to get water or food.

An American helicopter came out of no were and I was saved. Everyone thought I was dead. When I arrived at home Jessica sitting on floor crying in Hardens room, she looked up at me and the look on her face was as if she had seen a ghost. She got up and ran to me. I told her that I promise that we would never have money problems again. I asked if she had gotten the money I had left. It is amazing on what people will go threw for love. I went trough 2 weeks of torture and beating to make everyone think I was dead. I did this because I loved my wife and baby boy and they needed the money.

horror

How could it be so cold on a June morning? Yet that changed quickly. It wasn't even Noon yet and it was already 120. The sweat was dripping off my nose like a leaky sink; besides the heat I only had one thing on my mind, "Escape". Well I think I should go back to what caused this. About a year ago I was picked up and taken from my family and was throw in a van.

I lived in Wisconsin at that time, well I still do. I can see my old house from were I site right now. But even if I scream they can’t hear me. I don't go to school because the cops would find me. As you may know I need to get free, I could tell you what the guy looks like but it's to terrifying to tell. This guy is sick he kills people and eats the skin and feeds the rest to his dogs. Well you know now that I think about it I have never seen the person who took me. He always wears a mask made of skin from the people he killed. With this image in my mind I could never sleep.

Finally I got to sleep, something I don't think I've done in almost a year. When I woke up I was screaming because I had a real sharp pain in my side almost like I had a knife in it. To my surprise there was. I quickly pulled it out and passed out from the sight of blood. I started dreaming about all of my friends I was missing.

Do you know how it feels when a friend stabs you in the back, when you realize he wasn't your real friend at all? And the real friends you treated badly. Well that’s how I felt when My Best friend just stood there and laughed at me when I got kidnapped.

Out of the entire year that is the only thing I can remember. My name is Nathan and I am 14 years old and I was an average kid. I had some friends, but when that horrible day came it was like lightning in water. First my girl friend dumped me, and then I got in a fight at school, and got suspended. When I was walking home from school is when it happened, he got me. A big red van came up and a man about 6"5 and 250 pounds jumped out and pushed me in the van. I think this guy was gay, he was feeling me up and doing bad things until I kicked him in the, you know where. That was my biggest mistake, right then he hit me in the face as hard as he could and knocked me out. When I woke up I was in a room at his house.

One day he finally brought someone back, which was alive. Well when he left I started talking to the kid. Telling him to stay calm and that if we work together we will escape. To my surprise it was my best friend Jesse. Well at least I thought it was. As we sat there talking we came up with a plan that would never fail.

Ben walked back in to the room grunting and making sounds that made him sound exhausted. He was looking around on the table for his knife and couldn’t find it. I could tell he was getting annoyed. He started throwing arms around and other body parts looking for it.

Just then Jesse started crying and yelling ouch. Ben ran over to him in aw to see what was happening. Right then I jumped in the air at him with his knife. I landed with the blade in his back. I pushed me in the wall and knocked me out again!

I awoke the next morning and Jesse was gone. I wondered were Ben had taken him. When Ben finally came back in he has someone with him. I was excited I thought it was Jesse. I was wrong, it was a girl. She looked familiar but I couldn’t put a name with the face. Nathan!! She cried. It was a girl from school that I normally wasn’t friends with. It wasn’t the one were I didn’t like her; I just wasn’t part of their crowd. She was crying and so scared. I looked into her beautiful brown eyes and could see she was terrified. I told her not to cry because this guy was a fag anyway and he wouldn’t want anything from her. She laughed.

Alyson was terrified and I knew it. Ben kept on touching her like her wanted to do things to her. Alyson kept kicking at him, along with me yelling he stopped. I yelled at him and told him to stop being a pig. In an instance he hit me and knocked me out again.

When I awoke I was in the hospital. Alyson was sitting in a chair next to the bed. She got a smile face on when she seen I had awoke and asked me how I was feeling. I replied in a sore manner “very sore”! “How did we get her? What happened to Ben?” I asked like a little child asks questions.

Alyson Started explaining to me what had happened, it almost made me feel as if I was there. “Nathan when you got knocked out I freaked”. “I didn’t know what to do! I jumped out at him with a knife and tried stabbing him. I missed and he threw me to the ground. He ripped off my shirt and pants. He pulled down his pants and tried to do stuff to me.” “When he went in for the move I swung the knife that was lying on the floor. I hit him in the area. He fell to the floor and started bleeding. There was blood all over the place and I couldn’t stand it.” “I grabbed your arms and dragged you to the road.” “A car drove by and stopped.” “They drove us here and this is we stand”.

“Alyson” I said in a stunned voice. “You saved my life, how can I ever repay you” She relied in a toned manner “never tell anyone what happened to me!” I agreed and for some reason I fell back asleep.

CRASH!! BANG!! I woke up in a second when I herd loud sounds coming from my room. “ALYSON NO” I yelled. Ben was back! Throwing stuff at him trying to escape from the room he managed to keep us pined in.

I thought he was dead. I guess I didn’t know what had happened so I wasn’t surprised he was there. I Stand up and rip all the wires off me and run at him. Thinking about what to do next I lunged at him with fist clenched and punched him. I knocked him back but it only stunned him. He swung back and knocked me into the corner. This whole hitting me thing was really getting old.

For some reason he keeps going after Alyson. He grabbed her and ran! As he ran into the hall way I herd a gun shot. I ran after her and seen that the hallway was loaded with cops and Ben had been killed. The officer shot him in the head in one shot. Alyson ran to me when she got up and right as she made contact with me

I herd crying and yelling that sounded like parents. We turned around and there they were, mine and hers. They ran up to us and gave us both huge hugs.

We all didn’t want to be at the hospital anymore, so Alyson and I went back to the room and grabbed our stuff. She said she had to use the bathroom and that she would meet me out at the car. I felt a little scared to leave her after what just happened but she insisted. 20 minutes later we were still waiting. I walked in and couldn’t find her anywhere. All I could find was the blood were Ben what shot and no body.

Love!

Love, it is a word we all hear everyday. I love you; I love to spend time with you. I love it all. We overly use the world love and many people don’t realize it. My name is Haden Rockaweller and I really believed I was in love until one night when my whole life came crashing down.

I am 19 years old and I have been threw more in the last week then you have been in your whole life. I believe I should go back to the begging and tell you how things really are. Daphne and I we so happy together, always spending time with each other and inseparable. We had been dating for almost 2 amazing years. One night on the 13 of March she called me and informed me that we were done and she didn’t know how I could do something like that. She hung the phone up and shut it off. I tried returning her call and nothing.

I waited until the next day and tried calling her then, nothing! I did not know what was going on, I made a mistake I don’t remember making. Finally after a week of no contact with her I attempted to go to her house. She was not their, her parents said she was out with a couple friends at the mall. In desperation I drove to the mall and walked on the most heart crushing thing I have ever seen in my life. I turned and ran as hard as I could until I reached my car.

In a rant of being upset I drove very fast in weather conditions that you shouldn’t drive very fast it. All I was thinking was Daphne, Daphne, and Daphne... How could I lose the one and only person I have ever loved? Life wasn’t worth living I thought and right then when those thoughts came into my head everything went black and my life turned upside down. The car hydroplaned and clipped the side of a bridge. The car flipping threw the air like a professional acrobat and finally subsiding on a tree about 20 feet below.

A bright light shining in my eyes, the pain, were was it coming from. Was I dead? Were I? Every question rushed threw my head as a voice that appeared to be coming from no were rumbled the ground making it very difficult to stand. “God, I confusingly asked”. “Yes child, this is God babbled the grand voice. “ NO I am just kidding, yelled the voice. Right then a man walked out.

“Boy now why did you go and do something stupid like that and try killing your self?” asked the man. I replied with my same old self “Because I love her with all my heart and I can’t change it, so I would rather be dead. “Why does it matter to you anyways, and who are you?” I yelled at him in a prissy voice. “Because I care about you, Don’t you remember what I had told you before; love isn’t something you think you have to feel it in your heart and no person makes the love” “It is something you generate over time to your own life” “ love doesn’t really happen” He went on.

“Would you really like to die?” He asked. I replied in with tears filling my face “Yes I love her so much, I just want her back and if I can then take my life” “Ok Haden if that is how you feel then your wish is granted” and right then the light darkened and fire arose and my life turned to hell, literally!

People were pushing me and shoving me. Telling me to get to my hole and work, I wanted to cry right then. I thought when I died I didn’t remember it. My life is supposed to be over. Why is this happening? STOP, STOP. “I WANT TO LIVE” I yelled at the top of my lungs. “Haden your awake” cried my mom. I asked worriedly what had happened. She told me that I had totaled my car and that tree had shattered my ribs. The doctor informed me that I was so lucky to be alive and the big man upstairs was on my side.

You don’t even know, I replied. Everyone asked me why I did what I did! Finally after I was out of the hospital I told them that I had seen Daphne get hit by a truck and be killed. My mom Said she had been and that her parents were the drivers. The brakes had failed and they couldn’t stop. At that moment I started balling and shut my self down. I couldn’t handle that again. The picture of that kept running threw my head and it horrified me the rest of that night.

Finally after Three I got to sleep. The man came into my dream again and asked if I wanted it all to stop and to go back to the way it was. I dropped to my knees and begged for it to. I said Haden I like you and you are an amazing kid, now make the right choice this time, and decide if you are ready for love yet! I awoke and I was in my room.

The surgery marks were gone and I had 12 missed calls from Daphne. I called back and she answered, at that moment I cried again. She asked why I was crying. I told her to come over and I would tell her.

She arrived about 20 minutes later. When I seen her I grabbed her in my arms and kissed her, told her that I loved her more then anything in the world, and I had to brake up with her. She started balling and ran out. Three days later when I called she was home in her room still crying. She never went to the mall so she never got hit. I told her parents about my dream and they got the truck looked at. Someone had cut the brake lines.

To this day I still don’t say I love you to anyone anymore. There is only one person I will ever say it to if I stumble on him again. That is that man that helped me. I don’t know if he was god or not, but he was real and he gave me a chance to save two people. Daphne and I got married this morning, and I finally found someone I truly love with all my heart and I would give my life, literally to save theirs.

Fright nights!

A crack of lightning Shattered threw the sky and Thunder Rattled the windows harder then a rock concert. Crying came from the upstairs bedroom of this huge 6 bedroom house! All four kids rushed to their parents room. The power was out and the dad grabbed a flash light and packed up his truck and yelled at the kids in love to get in the truck! little did the kids know the cyclone of death( a tornado) was close by. Once everyone was loaded in the truck they drove down to the night club that their dad owned. Little did anyone know that little kid that was crying was me!
My name is Nathan Nichols and I have had a really ruff life. shortly after that night My brother Chris attempted killing me. He Cracked my head open with soda bottles and video tapes and anything you could think of. I went to the hospital more times then the doctor I believe. Oddly enough I bet he never thought I would be saving his life.
Do you know when you join the army you have to vow to never leave a fallen soldier behind. You must do all you can do and be all you can be to make sure you and your unit and soldiers are safe. Sucks huh, I know scenes Chris and I and War partners. Chris went into the army reserves when I was still a senior in high school, to make something of his life. He finished basic and AIT and moved back so Sparta to work at fort.
Finlay the time came for me BIG Nathan to go to basic. I though it was fun and it changed a lot of things about my life. The day came I was going home! I board that plane and fly to the air port in Madison Wisconsin. I get to the air port and wait. I waited 3 hours and no show of my parents. Neither my mom or my dad showed. My dad was supposed to get me I thought. I had just talked to him on the phone that morning before I left fort. I called him and he answered and asked if i was home already. I told him that he was supposed to pick me up! He informed me that something had come up at the house and he asked my mom to pick me up.
So I hung the phone up and called her. No answer..... Finally I got a call back, and there was a man on the line. He told me that my mother was going threw an intersection and a 18 wheeler couldn't stop due to ice and crush the car. My mom was in a coma and my step dad was killed. I was devastated I didn't know what to do, I doped to the ground and cried. I didn't get home for three days later, I stayed at the air port and just sat there. My dad Finally showed up in worry about me and took me home. After all the changes in basic and all I did to make a great job so I can support my family they are all gone.
Two days after I had arrived at home my brother and I got a call from our platoon commander. My Chris and I we being deployed On a Secreat mission with 12 other guys to roam the mountains in Afghanistan to locate bin laden. The worst part was, the orders said we left at 1700 hours, It was 1400! No saying good by no time for recovery, no staying with my mom in her time of need. We were being deployed and there was nothing we could do about it. Of course my brother thought the whole reason for what had happened was my fault, so we were always fighting. We were boarding the plane and I tripped and he made a smart comment. He blabbered to me " good job why don't you kill your self when your at it, Get up" I got up and punched him in the chest and attempted to get him in a choke hold. our commander grabbed up and threw us in different directions in one motion. He yelled that we need to knock it off , what had happened was a shame but it wasn't either one of our faults, and that chis and I were war buddies and we couldn't leave a 10 foot radius of each other. If one got yelled at we both did push ups. If one needed help the other was there. If one needed to go to the bathroom the other one was the door so people couldn't see.
It was horrible, We fought so much. We kept bumping each other. Finally we got off the plane and went straight to a helicopter. We arrived in the mountains about 30 minutes later and had to ridge line down. As soon as we landed we were taking fire. Three men In front of me Were shot! Chris Jumped behind a huge rock and I attempted to but my shoe was caught on a branch. A Gorilla(thats what we call the enemy) seen me and started shooting. I Really don't know were they learned how to shoot but they cant hit me. Chris unloading a full clip on him runs to me and help get me shoe out. Looking up I see someone standing behind him. Without thought I kicked up and forced him to his knees and shot him in the neck. To my surprise it was a gorilla!!!
With in minutes Chris and I were threw people and all of your back up was dead. We had killed a close to 70 people. Chris was walking crouching down trying not to be seeing and he fell in to some hole. I rushed over to find him and he was in a choke hold by the man we were look for him self. Bin Laden was there WE FOUND HIM!!! I yelled to drop his weapon that we were the united states army and I am required to use force to disable the weapon. All he did was yell in Arabic and I couldn't understand it! So I gave Chris the eye and he kicked his leg and I shot his Hand. Chris then swiftly kicked him to the ground and zip tied his hands behind his back.
I called for transportation and gave them our coordinates. They finally arrived about 30 minutes later and about craped them selfs when they seen just use two and we had him. When we got back Chris and I receive the Medal of honor and we bother received a pay stub that read, "$250,000,000". We didn't know that the army still had the 500 million reward on him and we got it. It was amazing, we were being flown home on our own privet jet. We were all on the tv and all over the news . people loves us and Iraq Crashed and the war ended!
Chris and I put our money into an account together and payed for our mom to get better. She Finally made a full recovery and didn't believe anything that happened. With the rest of the money we slit it up and gave some to every one of our soldiers family's. That makes 13 family's and 14 guys millionaires and the end to a war. Never thought one night of fear could turn into a life time of wealth and a country of happiness did you!
Now Chris and Megan are married and have a baby boy on the way. As for me I'm taking car of my mom and trying to make sure my brothers and mine friendship stays strong. Strangely when I got back Maggie came running back to me in worried about me getting killed. should I tell her about the money!
