    Which do you break?
    Which causes a death?
    Which causes a life?
    Which will over come the other?
    Which promise…….is a true promise?

    Part 1-Ashley’s Story- I thought it was going to be a normal day. No worries, no broken hearts, no deaths. This is all my fault. Those damn promises. They ruined everything, and in the end…I ended up with nothing…I didn’t think…Today would be so…..deadly. It all came out like this.

    It was a bright shiny day the clouds were nowhere near dark. It was a early sunny day. A normal one, or so I thought and wished it was going to be. I was NORMALLY walking to my boy friend’s house. The one I loved since well forever. Today was my birthday you see and well I was going to celebrate at his house. Or so I thought, along the way I saw Tommy. Just standing there, as if….as if he knew I would be walking at this exact time to James’s house. Tommy was James, my boyfriends, best friend. We always hang out.
    Well I made a promise to Tommy not to long after we met. I told him I’d never let anything happen to him, I’ll do anything to keep him alive. He was my friend, and of course you don’t want friends dead so I said it without thinking beyond that point of our friendship. That was…mistake number one.
    I walked over to Tommy and said hey. He looked at me, I looked back at him. I wanted to run, his eyes were….they were so dull. Like daggers about to go into my heart and kill my soul. He blinked once and sighed. He was always sad for some reason. “What’s wrong?” said I. mistake number two, he held my arms. Uh he was holding my arms? A bit uncomfortable.
    “Ashley, do you love me?” My eyes grew big. W-what did he just ask me? He was joking right? He closed his eyes and held me tight. I was extremely uncomfortable at the moment.
    “Ashley, you don’t know how much I love you please……Tell me you love me back…do…not…make me upset..” My body grew tense. “T-Tommy, I love James…” He snarled. Excuse me? He Snarled?! I was scared I tried to move away but he held me tighter. “Ashley….break up with him” I pushes him away. “What!” he frowned. “Ashley, you made me a promise remember?” Where was he going with this. I nodded. “Well if you don’t break up with him, I’ll be hurt and I’ll kill myself”
    I backed away, he wasn’t really saying this was he? I turned around an ran away. I ran another way to James house. When I arrived at the door I knocked hard. The door opened an James was there. I ran up to him and hugged him. He seemed a little surprised but hugged back. “What’s wrong baby?”
    I looked up at him and began tearing. I told him about Tommy. After I was done telling him he just stared straight ahead. “James?” said I. James took a deep breath and nodded. “I heard you, and it looks like…he wasn’t kidding…”
    James kept staring ahead. I followed his gaze and turned around. As I did my eyes grew big with horror again. Tommy was standing with a knife to his throat…
    Part 2- James story-
    I stood there with Ashley in my hands. I stared straight ahead at what seemed like a totally new person. Tommy didn’t seem him self, he was going to far this time. This wasn’t even Tommy, this was someone completely different. This wasn’t my friend. This was the devil in my friend’s body.
    Well Satan wasn’t welcome here and I’ll do anything to get it out of my friend. Though when I say anything I didn’t really think I meant anything. I held Ashley tight. “Tommy, how could you?” Tommy smirked and said “Simple, love took me over” I smiled and shook my head. “Dude, she’s MY love not yours.”
    He shook his head too, “Not in my book buddy” I frowned. “Well Tommy, there are two things wrong with that sentence, one being your wrong about her being yours anyway you put it, and two from here on I guess we’re not buddies.” He frowned too. “Guess not” He stared at his knife. Ashley felt really tense.
    I tried soothing her down but her eyes were so wide open they almost budged out. I turned Ashley around and kissed her for a long time. After the kiss I whispered in her ear “Don’t worry, I’ll get him back.” She nodded and half heartedly smiled. I let go of her and walked a couple steps toward Tommy.
    I turned around to Ashley one more time and said “Thanks for keeping your promise honey” I turned back around and almost didn’t see it coming. Tommy was charging at me with his knife. I stepped to the side and watched him run by. He quickly turned around. I couldn’t believe this. “Your…you were…really trying to kill me?” He took a breath and nodded.
    I shook my head “Well okay then, no more games, all the happy times never existed, this is war.” I cracked my neck and prepared to fight. Tommy charged at me again with the knife, I ducked and punched him in the stomach. I heard him gasp for breath, but then stabbed me in the back. I closed my eyes tight for a moment and felt the pain sore threw me.
    It hurt so badly but that wasn’t going to keep me down. I quickly pushed him to the ground, the knife slipped out of my back, but that hurt even more. I began punching him in a frenzy, he bled. He closed his eyes for a moment, and both his hands fell. Did I knock him out? No time to think if he was this was my chance. I took the knife from his hands and held it to his throat.
    Was this goodbye? My hands started hesitating. I clenched my teeth together. My hands started shaking like crazy. I pulled them back in and dropped the knife next to Tommy. This was enough for me. I got up and walked slowly to Ashley. She just stood their staring behind me.
    I was so close to her, bout to hug her when, she screamed. I turned around and…………
    Part 3- Tommy’s story
    This wasn’t the end for me, no way. I opened my eyes and struggled to my feet. I grabbed the knife in my hand once more and ran to James. He was the other way around this was perfect. I ran closer and hear a scream. James turned around and I slashed him in the neck. His eyes froze and he fell back. Ashley quickly grabbed him and began crying. James bled threw his mouth and all.
    Ashley hugging him tight. James closed one eye and looked me dead in the eyes. He frowned then smiled. “Good attack……old friend….” He turned around and smiled to Ashley. Kissed her, hugged her then said his last words. “I’ll love you forever Ashley, and Tommy, hope you die in hell bro.” I smiled, and he did too.
    After this his eyes rolled back and God took his soul. Ashley froze and her eyes grew wide. She slowly looked up at me with the eyes of pure hatred. I frowned, “Do you hate me?” She took a breath still looking at me and shook her head. “I can never hate you, however I do despise every part of you, and I do want you dead, and when I want something, I make sure I get it.”
    She stood up and gently let go of James. She kissed his forehead then turned to me again. I felt her go close to me, her chest right on me. I felt her hand go around mines. She pushed her fingers threw mine. I felt the knife go into hers. I didn’t move. I felt the knife completely out of my hand, and so were her hands.
    I looked down with my eyes, she now controlled a weapon of death. I didn’t care. I deserved the next event. She slowly gave me a kiss on the cheek and whispered, “I’m sorry I broke our promise but…the pain just isn’t worth it anymore” Then I felt as the pain shocked threw me. I felt the blood sport out, I felt Ashley put me on the ground gently, I felt the smile grow on my face, I felt when it faded, and I felt when I took my last breath. The only thing I didn’t feel was…happiness.
    Part 4- The Ending
    Ashley- Now the clouds are grey and the sky is crying just as I am. My heart is no longer alive and now I’m here alone. With no one, no friend, and no love alive. I managed to burry the knife and make a fake story of the incident. No one deserves to hear the truth, that’s for James, Tommy, and I to know only.
    I watch the sky cry as the tear drops fall on my window. Straight into my eyes, and then out again down my cheeks. I guess I’ll go visit them later on. Hey who knows maybe I’ll die too. Maybe I’ll get that chance and meet James in heaven. If only that was the truth.
    James- Well this sucks. I’m here on a cloud, wings on my back and doing nothing. My pain’s gone but still. I don’t know anyone up here, this is supposed to be heaven, I’m supposed to have everything I want but where Ashley then? I look down from my cloud and see Ashley walking to my death spot. I see her kneels down and take out something out of the ground. I watch her closely.
    She takes out the deadly knife that killed me, what was she planning on do- oh wait. I smile I guess I really will be getting everything I want. I watch her still, I see her fall to the ground. I sit down on my cloud and wait. I watch as her soul slowly comes out of her body, as it slowly floats to my spot. I close my eyes and when they open she’s next to me. In my arms and we’re hugging. This is how it should be.
    Tommy- Well I knew I’d end up here. One way or the other. I poke a flame that comes out of the wall. Better get used to this cause well I’m going to be here for well eternity. And you know what? That makes me happy. Cause this is where I should be. In hell burning and screaming.
    It would be nice to be with Ashley but she probably hates me, and so probably James does too. Eh they are more or less in heaven right now. Together kissing and happy I’m not there. Eh I don’t care I could care less for that matter. I still think though something went wrong, I don’t know what but I know something did. This should have ended a little different.

    The End.
