Tips for Keeping Your Car Clean During the Winter

Unless you live someplace incredibly warm and sunny, you've probably been dealing with needing to clean your car this winter. If you've encountered snow and ice, you've probably noticed a lot of excess dirt and grime on your vehicle from slag/salt, and the like. Keeping the roads safe during the winter means extra work for car owners. Knowing how and when to best clean your car after experiencing winter weather can save you time and headaches down the road.

You might find it impossible to keep your car clean this time of year, especially if you live in the north, where there is a lot of continuous winter weather. Constantly washing your car can cause unwanted damage or problems, so it's best to wait until you know that a winter weather event has passed before you attempt to clean your car at all. It can be tempting to take your car through a drive-thru wash, but when you don't know what types of products are being used to clean your car, it can cause problems in the future, such as stripping off the finish or leaving the car looking dull. The DIY method is safer, cheaper, and much more satisfying.

How to wash your car during the winter...

We get it, you don't want to do it yourself. It's cold outside, and you have to wash the car outside, right? Best time to wash the car is in the sunniest/warmest part of the day. Go for 2-4 pm when you know the sun will be its warmest, and dress in layers!

Grab two large buckets and fill both with water. In one bucket, add in some of your favorite car shampoo. Mix well, and then begin to slowly work your way over the car with a good quality wash mitts or even a microfiber towel. This will be oh, so gentle on the exterior!
Start at the top and work your way over and down. Give a gentle rinse with water.

Next, you'll want to hand dry the vehicle with good quality drying towels. Again, clean microfiber towels are a great choice. Finish up with a gentle sealant or wax mist. You can quickly and evenly spray a gentle mist coating over the exterior and add up to a month of extra protection.

Once you've tackled the exterior, you might as well give the interior a good cleaning, too. We'll save shampooing and deep cleaning for springtime. For now, vacuum out those leaves that have collected on the floor mats, and clean out any loose items or debris that have found their way inside of the car. Wipe down the dash and empty the trash can. Add a fresh air freshener to breathe new life into the car, and you'll be good to go.

How often should you do this? Depending on the extent of the winter weather you experience in your area, you'll want to clean your vehicle this way at least once a month... six weeks out would be the longest I'd go without giving a good interior and exterior cleaning. Spring is just around the corner and soon you'll be enjoying a nice drive with the windows down!

The Missing Link

Articles about Music Education

The Missing Link

Growing up in Edinburgh with musically enthusiastic parents, I was fortunate to have a rich and enjoyable music education. For years, Saturdays started with Waddell Orchestra, followed by a piano lesson in Ainslie Place. There was time for coffee and scones with Dad in Charlotte Square before an hour of Waverley Singers, my Mum’s choir. I loved all this, but life really began to take off when I was old enough to join Caritas, the orchestra founded by schoolboy Donald Runnicles, which rehearsed early on Saturday evenings. Edinburgh and National Youth Orchestras followed. My music degree at Manchester focussed on performance and composition.

Looking back, I have fabulous memories of a range of wonderful, even life-changing experiences and encounters through music. However, one aspect that I have come to regard as completely integral in music education is conspicuous by its absence. I was in my mid-40s before anyone asked me to improvise. The result? Utter terror! In 2005, as a precursor to my two years of study for a PGCE in Manchester, I signed up for Dalcroze UK’s Summer School. I was assigned to Karin Greenhead’s group for the afternoon improv lesson and still vividly recall the feeling in my gut as we waited outside the room for the lessons to start. Unfortunately that’s all I remember, though, as the nerves have obliterated the learning. It wasn’t until 4 years later that I finally realised that it was better, even enjoyable, just to get on and play. What a blooming relief.

Once I started encouraging pupils to improvise, it became apparent that experimenting with creating their own music made them understand their instrument and music in a new way. In fact, I’ve come to regard improv as an essential part of the learning process. I tend to start with question and answer games in lessons so that they realise it is possible to make up stuff on the spot (yes, some really haven’t worked that out.). Once they’ve done it, I give them tasks to do at home such as creating music for a postcard, favourite book character, or story. Sometimes I give them rules such as not playing in C major (pianists......) or only using 3 agreed notes. As ever, the trick is to find the right challenge. For many, the concept that what they play can't be wrong is so liberating that they discover a mastery they (and I) didn't know they had.

Being the type of child whose progress was limited by fear of doing something wrong, I recognise that improvisation might have linked things up for me and given me confidence. I am determined to give my pupils the opportunity to develop these skills. Yes, there's always far too much to do in lessons, but this is an important step in helping pupils to establish ownership of their learning. And it's great fun too.

Large retailers dominate Black Friday sales, but on Saturday the spotlight was on mom-and-pop shops.

Large retailers dominate Black Friday sales, but on Saturday the spotlight was on mom-and-pop shops.

The day marked the second annual Small Business Saturday. The movement, led by American Express, encourages consumers to shop local stores during the busiest shopping weekend of the year.

"We had customers tell us they came in today because it was Small Business Saturday," said Julie Wilson, owner of the Monroe Street Grill in downtown Monroe. "It's was real busy today — busier than usual."

The premise of promoting local stores on the Saturday after Thanksgiving each year boosts sales and benefits local economies. American Express hyped the day with national television and radio advertisements.

Monroe Street Grill put "Support Small Business Saturday" on the sign just outside its doors. It also promoted the campaign on its Facebook page. A portion of the Facebook message read: "Shopping downtown Monroe helps out so many families and we all appreciate your support. We couldn't do it without you."

"I also put 'No corporations downtown, just families' on Facebook because downtown Monroe is made up of businesses run by local families who need the support," said Jennifer Henderson, the daughter of Ms. Wilson who also works at the restaurant.

Trend 440, a gallery and gift shop located at 440 N. Monroe St., opened at 10 a.m. Saturday in hopes of a big sales day.

"We're hoping people come in and patronize us," sales associate Dawn Arnold said early Saturday. "We hope people come out, but it's hard to tell. I think the nice weather helps, but the Michigan (vs. Ohio State) football game is today. Hopefully that won't keep people from shopping locally today."

Trend 440, owned by Debra Eipperle-Smith, has been open for six years. Its merchandise includes home decor, jewelry, pottery, paintings and gift items. On Saturday, it offered 20 percent off Christmas items.

"We shop local if we can, especially during the holidays," said Amy Blanchette of Monroe while perusing the items throughout the store with her husband, Dennis.

Todd Jones, co-owner of Jones for Men clothing store with his wife, Lisa, was looking forward to a good sales day on Saturday despite not knowing about the second annual Small Business Saturday.

"The Saturday after Thanksgiving is usually a good day for us. Customers start coming in later in the day. I think it's a (shopping) hangover from Friday," said Mr. Jones, whose store is located at 10 E. Front St. in downtown Monroe.

"After Friday, shopping seems to be more family-oriented and the buzz picks up after Black Friday. We stay patient. Sales usually start picking up today and especially into early December."

Hanging out at the Not Knowing Cafe.

Most of the time I don’t really know what I’m doing.

or so my brain likes to tell me.

or to be more precise I’ll wake up with the thought “What the F**k am I doing!”

This morning was one of those days.

However, this morning I knew it was a trick. A game my mind (that inner critic, the big bully, top dog) likes to play to keep me small. I have just figured this out. Today.

In the past when I’d have this morning thought it would send me into a bit of a downward spiral and an inner argument. I would push it aside and bury that thought deep with in. It never occurred to me to actually question that thought and to poo-poo it! Until today. And now I know EXACTLY what it is.

So rather than agree with it – I say. Nope. You’re wrong. I DO KNOW what I’m doing. Ha  - *I do a somersault and punch my fists in the air* (Slight exaggeration, was more for effect ;-D)

OK Yes, It is TRUE sometimes. Sometimes I actually don’t know! However, I know now that if I’m quiet and *take the time* to listen to my inner wisdom, my inner strength I know really. (this has taken practice as I was always looking outside to be ‘fixed’ in some way or too busy to listen, and if I'm honest a bit scared to listen too).

Then on the flip side of the coin, depending on the situation, not knowing is actually part of the fun (for me) part of the excitement. Especially with some of my projects.or visiting somewhere new. That for me is part of the experience. The discovery. I also ask myself – ‘Who will I meet as a result of this?’ Then I’ll wait and see.

This morning something different also happened.

As part of my year of Exuberance and Abundance (my words of 2014) I have been reading the wonderful book Simple Abundance – by Sarah Ban Breathnach.

I think I've mentioned this book before, I’ve had it a few years and dipped in and out. This is the first time that I've read each days essay well, daily.

And this morning it made me *extra* smile. (can I say that? Am sure you know what I mean)
This is what it said:

It was like being given permission to not know all the time What a relief!  (even though deep down we kinda do know. You might have to dig a bit!).

I've also created a mental space for myself. I like to call this space The Not Knowing Cafe.

In my mind's eye my cafe has a red sign above the door and really comfortable plush dark green velvet seats that you can really sink into.  Not so squidgy that you never want to leave, but somewhere you feel comfortable for a while. It can get quite busy there sometimes, other times it's just me. The staff are ALWAYS smiling and it has a happy and relaxed atmosphere.

So next time you have an attack of the not knowings - pull up a chair and join yourself in the ‘Not Knowing Cafe.’

What does your Not Knowing Cafe look like? Create your own space and the get a drink and sit and say to yourself. ‘OK I’m kinda stuck. I’m having an attack of the not knowings. What do I do next?  Then go quiet. And take time to listen (that’s the important bit!) It might be something like ‘read that article you’ve been meaning to read, or go for a walk. Then DO THAT THING.

That will make all the difference.

See you there!

[UK Islands Project] Skye is now on the menu

I've added another Island to my list of explorations for this year and it's the Isle of Skye.

After the recent news reports of Skye being chock full this summer, I'm really hoping that come November, it will be much quieter. I can't imagine that many people thinking that Skye is THE PLACE to go at that time of year?! (I could be wrong mind) Most of the B&Bs seem to close at the end of October and that, to me, is a good sign that we'll have Skye to ourselves (ish).

I'm going on a quest to see otters and might even get to see the Northern Lights. In fact I think I'll book both now...

What really drew me to visiting Skye wasn't actually the wildlife - it was food. I'm still quivering with excitement that I'm [Finally] going to the famous Three Chimneys restaurant. This is somewhere that I read about, gosh, must be well over 15 years ago, if not longer, in a copy of Good Food magazine and is no.17 on my 40/40 Project list. The minute I saw it in the magazine, I've wanted to go there...and now this year it's going to happen. I bet you've got some long held dreams too and you keep thinking, 'one day I'll do that or go there'..why not revisit these dreams and see if we can work together to start to make them happen? You might find joining my How to be a Creative Adventurer course a great place to start).

Since deciding to go [after umming and ahhing about it for months], Skye has already been popping up here and there...for example, looking at the map of Skye I'd spotted a few interesting things, The otter haven (YES otters!!), some fascinating sounding castles - one in particular called Eilean Donan, especially when I discovered it was where Highlander was filmed [I absolutely loved that film when I was a teenager. All together now...'There can be ONLY ONE'] and a memorial to someone called Flora MacDonald. 'Who's Flora MacDonald I thought to myself?'...well now, I went to Bookbarn, my favourite second hand bookshop, in search of some books on Crete and the Minoans (that's another story) and low and behold - guess what book should jump out at me.....;-) I love it when these things happen - what's happened for you recently when you've noticed some synchronicity?

About “? Lucky ?”

I bought this vette in 2005. I have always wanted one. It was fun working on it, finding different parts needed to improve performance and looks. I wanted it to look different from any other 82. The color looks orange in the daytime and red at nite. 2 good friends, ( Larry & Rodney), helped me to get it where it is today. I really enjoy driving it on cruises and I show it at cars shows. I have received many trophies including Best GM, Ladies Choice, Best 80's, and Best 80's Corvette along with the Top 50's ect. I like going to shows, hanging with the other guy's, seeing there cool cars and getting different ideas from other 82 vettes on how to improve mine. I love driving it.

Remember Me?

Hi, my names Claire. Let me tell you about myself;
I hate rabbits. Rabbits suck. Rabbits are scary and have NO PURPOSE.
Im a cat person. I love cats.
And also im best friends with Harry Styles, we have been neighbors since I we were 5 and he just came back from that tour for that album that I forget the name of...
My brother just moved to America. I dont really miss him...
Im 18 years old, I have waist-long brown hair, big brown eyes, a nice tan, and a crooked smile.
I cant wait to for whats to come now that Harry and the other 6...Is it 6? Oh- Oh 4, yeah, yeah. Now that Harry and the other 4 boys I never met are back, I know its going to be a interesting time.

1. The Thing Called A Prologue.

Authors Note: Hi people that are reading this : D! you read on, you might notice I write short chapters. Just think, the more short chapters, the more freaking chapters! : D! So....Yeah, short chapters...Thats it, have fun reading it! Maybe.

 Hi. My names Claire. I guess since your reading you can't really tell me about you...Unless- Kidding.

 My full name is Claire Willow Wallz. I have 2 major fears:

 You might be like, 'Bitch, you cray-cray!' and then I'll explain. Rabbits are ugly. Rabbits have tiny little beady eyes. Rabbits smell and their poop looks like tiny sticks. And people call them Bunnys. Are they Rabbits or are they Bunnys?! It's like they have another identity. They look like fuzzy, fat, rats with long ears and that got their tails chopped off!

When you think of Monsters, I think of Rabbits.

 I'm not gonna get into any more detail about the rabbits...Truth is, it just freaks me out talking about them.

 I also like cats. I like dogs...But bitch, please. Cats don't bark and cats don't need to be walked, and cats don't howl at police cars & ambulances. Oh, and also, I have been told that I convince people to do things that would change their life, example; I was once 'the' Harry Styles neighbor, and I had convinced him to join the XFactor. I mean, now I'm just Anne his mum and Robin his stepdads neighbor. But then he got famous, started traveling the world, moved out. Not to mention forgot about me.

 Okay. Not time for a story. Let's talk present, like...What kind of cereal to eat this morning. Maybe just plain Corn Flakes- My thoughts got distracted by 'What Makes You Beautiful' I froze. Even though I found that song really deeply annoying, I remembered that I put that for Harry's ringtone. That's why I froze, I had not talked to him for 3 months (Ever since the band left for their Up All Night tour). There was still 3 more months of them traveling, so I expected him to be too busy doing celebrity stuff. I dropped the cereal box on the ground, diving across the kitchen and grabbing my phone.

 Me: Uh, hello?

 Harry: Claire?

 Me: Oh...Hi Harry...Long time no...Talk.

 Harry: Um...Yeah. Listen, I just wanted to say Happy Birthday...

Wait-What's today...Oh shit! Today is my 18th birthday!

 Me: Thanks Harry. Your the first person that remembered. How's life as a superstar?

 Harry: It's uh...Interesting. Management is horrible, they want us to do all this stuff.

 Me: ...What do you mean, stuff?

 Harry: Like, they make the fans have all these stereo types for us...

 Me: Like, Louis and you are now homosexuals? And Zayn is soooo concided, and Liam is like...Super strict? And Niall eats so much?

 Harry: Yeah. Exactly. But Niall still eats a lot.

 Me: What country are you in now?

 Harry: Sweden. Crazy Swedish girls everywhere.

 Me: Haha.

 Harry: Listen Claire...I really miss being home and everybody at school. Have I ever thanked you, Claire?

 Me: What for?

 Harry: You were the person that convinced me to try out for the XFactor. If it wasn't for you and the fans- You mainly- One Direction wouldn't exists. Or I just wouldn't be in it...I really miss you Claire. I miss waking up in the morning to you trying to silently sneak out of your house to go on your morning run. I miss walking with you to the bus stop every morning. And I really miss how you always had these crazy opinions on things- Like Rabbits and how you sometimes think that you see the same pigeon.

 Me: Hey! That pigeon thing was only once...And Rabbits ARE scary! Harry laughed on the other side of the line.

 Me: And about all those stereo types and stuff...Management is a bitch. We all just gotta except it.

 Harry: Right. Listen, we will be going to London to shoot the new music video for One Thing, if you want, your welcome to come and drive up and be on the set. Liam and Louis's girlfriends are coming.  \

 Me: But I'm not your girlfriend?

  When I said that it came out meaner than in my head.

 Harry: I didnt mean it that way. I meant that there will be other girls, not including all those fans.

 Me: It sounds fun. When? Harry: In 2 weeks come to Syco Production Studios at 9.

Me: Sounds good. And Harry,

Harry: Yeah?

 Me: I miss you too. See ya then.

Harry: Bye Claire...

The call ended, and I found my stomach feeling empty, and turned around to see the box of cereal I dropped. The cereal was lying everywhere, and the box just laid at the corner of the room, all innocently.

The Getaway

Addie is 18 and going to college in the Fall. To celebrate getting into RISD, one of the top art schools in the US, she goes on a two week trip to visit her friend in London, where her friend will be attending college. Little does she know this trip will change her life forever.

3. It's going to be a looong flight

I opened the window on my left as the seatbelt light went off. I hated the climb but once we got above the clouds, the view was breathtaking. The clouds were white and puffy and went on for miles and miles. They looked like you could sit right on top of them and they'd feel like cotton candy.
"Wow." I gasped.
"The view sure is beautiful, huh love?" Niall made me jump as he turned around in his seat yet again.
"Yeah, it sure is." I replied taking another look. Just then I realized that I had never actually gone to the bathroom and kind of had to go. I looked down, great, no shoe on my left foot. I can't put my sneaker back on, that would hurt as hell. Oh yea! I threw a pair of flip-flops in my larger carry on Before I left this morning. But where is my bag? Oh yea I had to put it up high because it was too large too fit on the ground. Oops.
I got up and into the aisle, taking off my other shoe. I jumped up to click open the compartment and landed with a sharp pain shooting through my ankle.
"Ah," I moaned. I prepared to jump again to get my bag but two large hands stopped me.
"I'll get it love!" I looked to my left and saw none other than The Harry Style. Holy Shit. Oh god, what do I do now?! Okay, okay, just act natural. You don't even like One direction anymore, remember? He brought down my bag with ease and placed it gently in my arms.
"Here you go!" He shot me that award winning smile that would always make me melt.
"Thanks so much! I really appreciate it."
"No problem." He replied, not sitting back down. I awkwardly smiled and sat down to put on my shoes. Did that just really happen?? I just talked to fricking Harry Styles!!! I slipped on my sandals and got up to notice him still standing there.....awkwaaaard.
"Hi....again." Way to put on the moves Addie.
"Hi, can I put your bag up for you?" No shit. Well I should've seen that coming. Obviously that's what he was still standing there for. I mentally face palmed myself.
"Here," I mumbled, "Thanks again." I began to hop to the back of the plane to use the restroom when he grabbed my arm, sending shivers down my spine, and spun me around.
"Let me help you, I wouldn't want you to injure yourself anymore." Oh my god, why does everyone think I need help? Well I'm not complaining, this is Harry Styles we're talking about here. I just nodded in shock as he carried me just like Niall had not that long ago. We made it back with ease and I quickly closed the bathroom door behind me, trying to comprehend what had just happened. Harry Styles just half carried me to the bathroom. All those feelings that I had felt at the beginning of high school started coming back. Im on the same plane as Harry Styles and Niall Horan and probably the rest of One Direction.
"Are you okay love?" Harry's voice confirmed that this was all real. I quickly went to the bathroom and hobble out.
"Perfect." I smiled. He helped me back and sat down behind me. Just as soon as I sat down, Niall had come over to Share my seat with me.
"How's the foot?" He asked smiling.
"Great," I replied. What was going on with these boys?? Guys never talk to me, this was all so new. As I was looking down thinking, I couldn't help but notice out of the corner of my eye that Niall turned around and was giving Harry a look. What was that all about?
It's going to be a looooong flight.

A/N: Hey guys! I hope you all liked the new chapter I'll try to update tonight and almost every weekday. Remember to leave suggestions/comments/predictions below! How do you guys like the story so far?? How are the chapter lengths?? That's all for now! Love Addie

ThEy DoNt KnOw AbOuT uS

I am writing this movella with my ya :)

12. Chapter 12

Adrienne's POV-

Ugh! I dont want to go swimming. Sammi knows im insecure about myself, so why did she do this?

"So Adrienne...whats your family like?" Niall asked me. The whole question I wanted to avoid.

"I rather not talk about that." I whispered, as Sammi pulled me into a hug..knowing why I didnt wanna talk about it.

"Im sorry." Niall apologised.

"Its not your fault." I said as me and Sammi released the hug.

"I shouldnt have asked though." he stated.

"Its not your fault. Your just asking questions." I said.

"But you said that you rather not talk about its my fault for asking." he argued.

"Little boy. Nevermind. So Sammi when are you guys auditioning for X-Factor?" I asked Sammi.

"Tomorrow." Niall responded, as I rolled my eyes.

"Thanks Sammi." I said sarcastically, just now noticing everyone was looking at us in entertainment.

"What?" I questioned them.

"This is so much better than TV." Harry responded as everyone agreed. Thats the same thing my mum said. But she cant say that anymore.

"Are you alright Adrienne?" Sammi asked.

"Ish. I need fresh air..." I said.

"We still have 20 minutes to go to get there." Louis stated...20 minutes...the same number my parents had left. 20 the number of shots my littl brother had to have but they only caused him more pain...then he just died.

"ADRIENNE!" Sammi shouted.

"What?" I asked innocently.

"Why are you crying?" she asked.

"They had 20 minutes left to live Sammi...he had 20 shots then he died from so much damn pain...Sammi...I have to die." I explained as I jumped out of the car.

The Same Direction

How did Harry, Niall, Louis,Liam, and Zayn become a band? Here is how it all began!

2. Liam

    "Liam, come out, come out wherever you are..."

    Liam covered his little mouth with his tiny hand to suppress a giggle.  His mom would never find him in time for school!  He had crammed himself into the slim gap between the wall and the couch and he was listening to his mom look for him throughout the entire house!

    "Hmmmm, I wonder where Liam could be..."

    "You'll never find meeeeee!" Liam teased from his hiding spot.  His mom had always been an exceptionally horrid hide and seek player for some odd reason.

    Suddenly, Liam felt a tickle in his nose.  He was going to sneeze!  He covered his nose but it was no use.

   " Oh, I wonder what that was?  A sneeze, perhaps?"

   Oh great, it's all over now!  Liam muttered under his breathe.

   "It sounded like it was coming from the couch..." Liam's mother slowly walked over to the couch.  She lifted up the couch cushions, "Not in there!" She teased.

    Liam let out a laugh.

    "Ah ha!" Mrs. Payne peeked behind the couch, "Come on now Liam, it's time to get ready for school!  Don't you wanna go see your friends?"

    "No!  I mean, I can't go to school mum, I'm sick, er, cough, cough, see?" Liam gave a few measly coughs and a weak moan.

    "Sorry honey, but you have to go to school, it's the law!  You don't want to go to jail, do you?"

    Liam gave a yelp and ran to his bedroom.  He yanked on a pair of black sweat pants and a plain white t shirt.  He pulled on his pair of bright red converse he'd received for Christmas the year before.  They pinched his toes and he had asked his mom numerous times for a new, crisp black pair for this Christmas!

    "I'm almost ready mum!" He called down the stairs.

    "Well, you'd better hurry up if you want pancakes!"

   "Oh boy!" Liam rushed down the stairs and plopped down at the table.  His mom handed him a plate of delicious golden pancakes drizzled with maple syrup.

    "Delicious!" Liam cooed.

    "Well, make sure you don't take too long eating or you won't be able to finish them!"

    Liam stuffed an entire pancake into his first grader sized mouth.  A car horn sounded from outside.

    "That sounds like Mrs. Malik is here to pick you up!" Mrs. Payne kissed Liam on the cheek and waved goodbye to him as he skipped out the door.

Post Office Pal ( Zayn fanfic)

I see him everyday, with that slick black hair in a quiff and his beautiful hazel eyes. He's always running in and out the same time i Do, everday. He always gives me that small smile that sends my heart flying through my chest. Someday I'll get the courage to face him, to say hi and introduce myself. I kniw his name though, its on his mailbox. Zayn Malik, my post office pal

2. chapter 2

I wake in the middle of the night, a terrible pain in my stomach and I feel nauseaus. I hug myself tightly and curl into ta.ball on the bed as I cry out. I attempt to fall back asleep but its no use. I eventually make it to my feet and walk to the kitchen in search of a glass to drink some water. As in taking the first sip, it comes hack up and im dashing to the bathroom where the contents of my dinner come back up. I hurl and sink to the bathroom floor. Did i eat something bad? I wake the next morning still on the bathroom floor. I reach up to my forehead and im soaked in sweat. Only one i must have, the flu. I get to my feet and I collapse on the couch, where I fall asleep again. My stomach lurches and I bolt awake again and I tgrow up on the carpet in my midst of trying to get to the bathroom. Ugh! I rinse my mouth again and work to clean my vile from the floor, although the cleaning supplies dont agree with me. The smeel makes my stomach flip and Im throwing up again. God can this day get any worse? I cough and splutter before my breath comes back and I drrink some water. The flu hasnt hit me this hard for at least six years. I walk back to the couch, feeling lightheaded and fall asleep where I sleep the rest of the day and night. I awake the next morning feeling exahausted and still nasaeus. I lay on the couch all day, sippimg warer but i end up puking my guts up again only worse this time. I rinse my mouth and brush my teeth and go back to the couch, flipping on the tv, where i soend most of the day... other than when my stomach is being wmptied. I try and eat a piece of toast but it only comes up half an hour later. Maybe fresh air will work? I wobble out to the front door and step outside in my bare feet, but my feet meet some paper. Huh?I look down in confusion and see papers and bills, with flyers..I bend down and pick it up, flipping through finding on the bills and the catalouges adressed to me... then i find a sticky.note stuck to the last bill. ' You havent come in to get your mail for the past two days... I drove by and your car was at the house... maybe your sick? I was concerned plus the post was having trouble fitting the maul in the slot... hope you get better soon ... xx -Zayn Malik, your post office pal.' I stare at the note in my hands and my stomach flips again, but not because Im naeseus... because the boy of my dreams cared enough to bring me my mail and left me a note too... maybw bwing sick wasnt so bad afterall

The Beginning of The End

A group of friends in their last year of high school go through a tragic event. What happens?

15. Chapter fourteen returning to school

It has been three days and is now the day that the group is to return to school. Santana is getting ready in her room with Naya and the girls. The boys are getting ready in Naya’s room so they can all get to school together.

“I can’t believe we have to go to school.” Naya says.

“Yeah well we do graduate in four weeks now.” Olivia replies.

“True dat!” Brittany says in an English voice cracking everyone up.

“Why do you always talk in different voices?” Santana asks.

“Because, it lightens the mood.” Brittany replies in a British voice.

“Well then thank you B.” Santana says.

Noah walks up to the door when he is sure they are done and knocks.

“Time to go.” Noah says once the door is opened.

Taking a deep breath all of the girls fall him to the front door where they meet up with the rest of the boys. Looking at each other they nod before Noah opens the door. They get into separate cars and head to the school.

While in the car Santana and Naya turn on the radio. When If I Die Young comes on they quickly turn it off.

“Why did they have to play that at the funeral?” Brittany asks from the backseat.

“Because, Sam chose it and Luke did die young.” Naya whispers.

Santana speeds up; her hands tightening on the steering wheel.

“San, slow down!” Naya screams.

Santana quickly slows down and looks at Naya.

“I’m sorry Nay.” She whispers.

“It’s fine San just don’t do that again it scared me to death.” Naya whispers back.

“So what are we going to do when we get to school?” Brittany asks.

“We are going to go to our classes eat lunch together and then we are going to come back to Naya’s and my place to hang.” Santana replies.

“Okay.”Brittany says right as they pull up to the school.

“I’m scared.” Santana whispers as she remembers what happened.

“We will be fine. He can’t hurt you anymore Santi.” Naya says using the nickname Alejandro once used.

“You promise?” Santana asks.

“I promise.” Naya replies.

They park and get out of the car waiting for the others to park and get out of their cars. The whole groups walks up to the front of the school and through the door together. People stop and stare when they see Santana.

“People are staring.” Santana whispers.

“San you can do it.” Naya says.

“Yeah San you gots this.” Noah says.

“You’re right I gots this.” Santana replies all of her confidence coming back.

“Great let’s get to class.” Olivia says.

They all walk to their classes and the day starts off great. But by the end Santana just wants to go home.

“Hey loser. Glad you got shot.” Cameron Danford one of Sven’s friends says.

Santana quickly leaves the class room and stays in the girls’ bathroom until lunch. When she walks to the cafeteria she has a flashback.

Jones!” He yells and Santana slowly turns around.

What do you want Montgomery?” Santana growls out; very annoyed with him.

Any last words?” He asks lifting up his gun.

Yeah. You. Don’t. Scare. Me.” She replies with a smirk.

Goodbye forever Jones.” Sven replies pulling the trigger.

It all happens in slow motion. The bullet hitting Santana in the stomach. Santana falling to the ground unmoving.

That’s what you get for bullying me Jones.” Sven says spitting on her as he leaves.

Santana! Can you hear me?” He asks his best friend.

Luke?” Santana coughs out.

Yeah, San I’m here.” Lucas replies.

Get help.” Is the last thing Santana says before passing out.

No! San! Wake up!” Lucas yells.

End of flashback

“San, are you okay?” Naya asks walking up beside my sister.

“This is where Sven shot me.” Santana whispers.

“Come on.” Naya says walking into the cafeteria with Santana.

Lunch flew by and soon they were in their classes again before going home.

Santana and Naya were sitting on the loveseat with Noah between them.

“So school was eventful.” Santana says.

“Yeah it was.” Naya replies.

“Why what happened?” Noah asks in a protective tone.

“One of Sven Montgomery’s friends came up to me and said that I deserved being shot.” Santana whispers.

“Well don’t listen to that idiot.” Noah says hugging Santana closer to him.

“Why do you still treat me like family Noah?” Santana asks.

“Because, you will always be family.” Noah replies.

“Promise?” Santana asks.

“I promise. Plus one of these days Naya and I might get married. Then you are stuck with me.” Noah says with a grin.

The group of friends all had fun remembering moments with Lucas and talking about their futures. College was right around the corner.
