You Don't Know Love
Annelisa Tomah is gunned down at her perfect senior prom by her drunken ex Kirk. No stuck between heaven and earth, Annelisa walks the earth, in search of a way to heaven...
Annelisa Tomah was excited. After months of suffering, she finally had gotten out of an abusive relationship with her boyfriend Kirk. Better yet, her crush Matt asked her to the senior prom. As if things couldn't get better, Annelisa's aunt, Mariska, sent her a beautiful prom dress. It was red velvet, with straps that were small at the shoulders and gradually widened towards the chest. It had a deep V-neck line and followed her slim figure to her knees, where it seemingly burst open. The long ruffles hung down and formed into a short train. On prom night, Annelisa curled her hair, put a beautiful white and sparkly feather clip in it, painted her nails black, and put her dress and shoes on. She waited by the door for Matt, unaware she had about two hours left to live.
Matt wore a James Bond style suit. He arrived at her house at around 7:30 and nearly fainted when Annelisa opened the door. He fumbled trying to place the black orchid corsage on her wrist. He led her to the car, and they drove to the prom. Around the corner from Annelisa's house, her drunken ex-boyfriend Kirk started his car.
Matt and Annelisa descended upon the prom like Bonnie and Clyde. Annelisa was a knock-out and Matt was just gorgeous. They walked in and almost like paparazzi, kids with cameras were calling for them to get a picture. To Annelisa, it was like a dream come true. At the end of prom, when it was time to find out who the prom king and queen were, Annelisa could barely stand. Finally, the principal drew the prom queen's name. "Annelisa Tomah!!" was all she heard before she burst into overjoyed tears and raced onto the stage. She accepted her crown and then stood excitedly as the principal called the prom king's name. "Matthew Summerton!" Annelisa squealed.
Matt was prom king! Matt raced up on stage, took his crown, and led Annelisa to the center of the dance floor for their dance. As they danced under the lights {and to Annelisa's favorite song "White Horse - Taylor Swift"}, Matt started to spill how he had had long time feelings for Annelisa since the day they had met. Annelisa smiled her beautiful smile and only said four words through her thick Russian accent. "I love you, too." Matt was stunned. Matt leaned forward. Annelisa stood up on her tiptoes. They had a passionate kiss. But just as they parted, everyone heard a wild scream. "ANNELISA!" and then a gunshot shook the gym.
"He's got a gun!" a girl screamed. Everyone scattered. "No, Kirk! Stop this!" Annelisa screamed at her ex, as he stumbled towards her. Matt guarded her, but Kirk raised the gun. He fired twice. Matt turned his back and shielded Annelisa. The first bullet dug into his back, but the second hit Matt in the back of his neck. He fell to the floor, pulling Annelisa down with him. "No, Matt!" Annelisa screamed."R...r...run..." Matt gasped. She got up on her knees and was about to stand when Kirk raised the gun and fired once. The bullet struck Annelisa square in her forehead. She was still alive, though. Her whole body went completely rigid. Her arms were stuck in a 45 degree angle. Her body sank down slightly, and then dropped to the ground like a brick. Matt watched in horror as the girl he loved eyes' rolled back into her head and she lay very still. He felt his own eyes close and fought against it. But darkness prevailed and Matt lost consciousness.
Matt woke up in the hospital. He was soon crowded by a hoard of doctors, asking him to wiggle his toes, or move his fingers, or nod his head. Some pried his eyes open and shone lights in them. Another few listened to his breathing and heart. One took his blood pressure. He complied, and then asked for Annelisa. The doctors said nothing.
