January 28th, '09

So it started off like a normal day, Ms. Brainard being bitcher than normal (if your sick just stay home dont come to school to bitch us all out!) then Mrs. Payne made us all a new seating chart which sucks because all my friends are all seperated noe, beezy. Oh well, we will still chat and bug the shizz out of her. >;P Well when i got home i went to the bathroom and around 3:30 i heard some kids playing, then i heard on of them scream and i think she was saying that hurts but im not sure i just know they werent playful screams. So i went outside to see if anyone was hurt but i found no one. (Also thought Annie ran away) About 2 hours later my dad came into my room and asked me to help him take out these boxes to the trailer. Im standing in the doorway and i see an ambulance go by, then another. By then we were both outside and we looked down the street to see TONS of cops at our neighbors house (1 house down). My dad walked over to see what was wrong but i just continued to put the boxes back. My mom & sister got back a few minutes later and I went outside to look. My mom was standing there and said that the neighbor kid ( Anthony Steen) had commited suicide. Just then a helicopter came over and landed in the field in front of our house (that was pretty cool.) We thought he had been life flighted out of there but i later learned he died just before it arrived. It was so scary seeing all the cops and the flashing lights that showed on my house. I guess just before i went outside my other neighbor had hear Anthony's mom scream so she ran over to see what was wrong. She found her laying in front of her house crying on the phone saying he had killed himself. Linda said his dad was in the doorway. So his mom said you have to help (or something along those lines) and they all ran inside, to the parents bathroom where he was. She didnt go inside but she heard him moaning and called 911 back to tell them to hurry hes still alive. It was so sad, he was only 14. My dad heard the cops say that it might be a homicide. Detectives came and everthing, and they were there for so long. I wont know exactly what happened til they say on the news. I feel so bad for his mom having to see him like that, Im glad i didnt hear the gun shot. I went over to the fence while my mom left to go get michelle and i just stood there looking at all the cars and cops. It was so weird just looking at everything around me & seeing everything change from red to blue to a combination of them both. I definitely wont be forgetting today.
