Chapter 1

This story and poem is dedicated to Jodie Carlton Ridgell. Born June 30,1977-September 12,1998. I dedicated this to him because he always told me to follow my dreams, even when I write stories. I luv ya JoJo!! I know you would want me to be happy, and I'm trying very hard, but I can't seem to believe that you are gone.

Since you left, I've been dying inside. I capture all the good times we shared, In the back of my mind. I wake up every morning to realize that you have gone. I think about that night on the road, what could have gone wrong.

I can't seem to understand, why you left in such a hurry. I never even had enough time to say good-bye. I never had time to tell you that I love you with all my heart.

I always wonder if you would have made it through. If I could have ever had the courage to tell you the truth. I love you Jodie, as far as the heart can go. I can't tell you now, but someday my love for you I will show. If you can hear me, or if you are here. Just tell me the same, and whisper it in my ear.

Now, Chapter 1

Angel Mckennie sat straight up in her bed. Suddenly the tears started to fall. She was soaking wet with sweat. Damn, the nightmares just keep getting stronger and stronger everytime I shut my eyes! she thought. It's been three weeks since the death of her friend JoJo. He was her ex-ex-boyfriend along time ago, but they turned out really good friends instead of Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Oh yea, she knew JoJo loved her. He even apologized for being so confused during their relationship a few months ago.

*Good Times*

"Hey JoJo, what's up?" I said opening up the door to find him smiling at me. "Not much, girl. Can I come in?" he asked. "Oh course you can. You know you can buddy!!" Angel said giving him a big hug. He walked in and sat on my couch. "I came over to talk to you about something, Angel. I really miss our talks and stuff." he said smiling at me. "I do too, you are my best friend. You know JoJo, that I love you?" Angel said. "You do?" he asked. "Hey, I never stopped loving ya!" I said giving him a hug. After we broke apart, we sat in silence for a moment. Then he jumped up, and walked to the door. "Hey, where are ya going? You just got here!" I said. "I have another boy in the car with me, and I was on my way over, and I thought I would stop by and say hello." He turned to the door and then stopped, and turned back around. "Oh, by-the-way, I'm sorry." he said smiling. "For what?" I asked. "For being so confused." he said and gave me hug before he walked out the door. I ran after him and said. "JoJo!! You don't have to be sorry!!" I said as he walked to his car. He turned around and even though it was dark, I could see him smiling.

*Back to reality*

That was it. Oh yea, we talked on and off for about two weeks. He would come over and we would just hang, but that was just it. JoJo knew in his heart that I loved him, but I never had the time to show him or tell him for that matter how much I did. Then out of the blue.....my JoJo was gone! Dead.....Forever! I feel like I'm dying inside. I can't eat, sleep, or work. It's affecting my concentration on everything I do. Angel just sat up in her bed and held onto her dead friend's picture. "Oh God, help me!!!" Angel screamed. The tears never seemed to stop after she screamed. She banged on her pillows, she felt like she had to hit something. This was killing her. She missed JoJo so much. The day that he died, it took her heart away, and all she could feel now was a numbness inside. No one could ever fill that hole in her heart ever again! she thought. She layed back down on her bed to try to get some sleep. All that came was visions of JoJo in his casket. She opened her eyes again then shut them, they were still there. About 3 A.M. she feel asleep but still had nightmares about JoJo.
