Ash
My name is Ashlynn Hall-Ash for short. I have longish light brown hair, navy blue eyes and dimpled cheeks. My best friend in the entire world is Collin Frost. He has curly gold-bronze hair that I usually have to brush out of his pale green eyes. I knew everything there is to know about Collin and he knows everything about me. Like how he knew I was absolutely terrified of the dark and of heights and how I knew that he hasn't been in a relationship with a girl longer than a week. Not even with the gorgeous Angeline. What I didn't know, was that it was because of me.

Collin
It was hard to love Ash. Especially because she had absolutely no
idea that I did. That just made it harder whenever she took my
hand in hers or pushed the hair out of my eyes. I had known Ash
since I was in preschool and we had built our friendship nowhere
but up since then. I didn't love her like I do now right from
the beginning. I started to notice her around when I was 13. It
was her birthday. She was turning 12. Ash's parents were
throwing her a party at the pool about a block or 2 away from
their house and I was invited. 'Of course you're
invited!' Ash would've said. On that day, I started
to notice her as more than just my friend. I showed up at the
party about 3 minutes late.
"You came!" Ash cried and threw her arms around my
neck, not caring who saw. Because that's the way Ashlynn Hall
is.
"Of course I came," I replied, peeling her off and
holding out the brightly wrapped present I had brought.
"You're my best friend. Why wouldn't I come?"
Ash narrowed her eyes at the gift I continued to hold out to
her.
"What is it?" she asked. I
chuckled.
"Why don't you open it and find out?" I
held out the box to her. She raised and eyebrow, but took the box
out of my grasp. Instead of opening it, she set it aside on a
folding table with maybe 10 or 12 presents stacked on it, then
smiled at me. I blinked at
her.
"Come on, let's go off of the top platform," she said, taking my hand. Now, this was before Ash was so terrified by heights. I think this is why she is. Ash dragged me behind her as she scaled the winding stairs to the tall concrete platform that was at least 40 feet in the air. The platform was packed full of people, all waiting on someone I couldn't see.
Then, there a was scream. Not a scream of surprise or that feeling you get when you ride a loopty-loop on a rollercoaster, this was a scream of pure terror. Plain and simple. You see, the person that everyone was waiting on, was a little girl. Only 5 or 6. What she was doing up there-abandoned in her water wings-I couldn't guess. Apparently, a careless teenager had accidentally ran into her when 1 of his friends shoved him. I looked to Ash, but, Ash wasn't standing there. She was running through the people, shoving some out of her way.
Then, she leapt off of the platform.
(NOT DONE. Had to post so I can finish later.)
