I'm so sorry I haven't posted the 5th & 6th chapters yet! I was supposed to post them this week, but I've been terribly busy with school and with the cover(s) of the book since I had to re-size them and they turned out horrible so now I'm making them from scratch again
UPDATE ON BOOK
It's getting really close to the publishing of the book and I'm extremely excited!
Here's a little information about the book that I'm going to reveal
Editions-
There will be two editions of the book and in total there will be four books (due to the two different book covers). The two editions are VERY similar except that the first edition is a hardcover casewrap book and the second edition is a hardcover dust jacket book.
Here's a pic
(if you can't tell, the dust jacket one is the cover that you can remove)
Like I said, they are very similar except for the type of the book.
Covers-
There will be two different front covers and two different back covers. They will be available in both editions, that's the reason why there will be four books in total. The color of the book has a meaning! That meaning is really important to me
Hopefully when I show y'all the covers, you all will know what it means.
and that's all the information I'm going to reveal today! I will reveal all the information about the book (including the price and how the covers will look like) on February 1st, 2011. The reason why I'm not going to tell you everything today is because I'm still not sure of many things...like the price of the book
I will post chapter 5 tomorrow and MAYBE chapter 6 also

No, it's not going to be a big book because of the price. I don't want nobody to pay that much for a book! its kinda ridiculous lol but if I get it published (like in libraries and everything) then I would make each chapter longer by explaining things better and making them very detailed

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS MIGHT BE GRAPHIC TO SOME PEOPLE. IF YOU CAN'T TAKE IT, THEN DON'T READ THIS CHAPTER
if you see any typos let me know!
The Car Wreck
The next day my sister came home to get some clothes and things that were important to her, like her mp3, because she didnt know how long she was going to stay at my dads house. In the meantime, I was outside playing soccer by myself. It started to get dark and cloudy so I went inside to play my Nintendo gamecube until my sister was done, so I could talk to her.
While I was playing, the phone rang. I didnt wanted to pick up the phone, because I was really into the game and I didnt wanted to lose so I just ignored it and kept playing. It kept ringing and ringing and ringing until my sister yelled at me to pick up the phone because she was busy. So I went and looked at the caller ID and it was my dad! I answered and he sounded mad, but I didnt blame him. He told me to tell my sister that he was on his way to pick her up. I started to get sad when I realized how much I would miss my sister. Then I suddenly thought what if I go with my sister just for one day? I asked my dad if I could go and he said yes. I was the happiest kid in the world! I hung up and ran to my room where my sister was to tell her the good news.
I told her that my dad was coming to pick her up and that she needed to hurry because hes impatient, then I ran to the kitchen and started to grab plastic bags to pack my stuff. I purposely packed my Nintendo gamecube in front of her so that she could ask me why I was packing. Then, just as I thought, she asked. I told her that I was going with her just for that night because I wanted to be with her. She just smiled and kept packing her clothes.
When I was done packing my Nintendo gamecube, I sat by my bed and starred at the window looking at the big gray clouds. For some reason it made me happy when the sky was cloudy and gray. I didnt like to see the sun at all. I loved how the rain drops slid down the window. It was perfect, until I heard a thunder. I was terrified of thunder because the power usually goes out and I hated the dark. I started to get scared and I shut the blinds, hid under my bed, closed my eyes, and covered my ears.
A few minutes later my sister told me that my dad was here so I came out from under my bed and grabbed the plastic bags that contained my Nintendo gamecube. It was now raining hard! I have to admit, I was scared to death. Before we left I called my brother, who was with my mom at the grocery store, to tell him that I was leaving with Paty to my dads house. He said okay and hung up. I loved the cloudy gray sky, but I did not want to go outside at all. I looked for my cell phone because I wanted to text my best friend and tell her that I was going to my dads house, but I couldnt find it. My sister was already in the car with my dad, and they were now waiting for me. They started to honk the horn, but I didn't want to leave without my phone. I started getting nervous because my dad gets mad easily. Finally, I found it under my bed. I must have dropped it somehow when I went to hide under my bed. I closed my bedroom door and locked the front door. It was pouring outside, I had to hurry because I didn't want my Nintendo gamecube to get wet. When I got into the car my dad started to yell at me, because I wouldnt hurry up, but I understood because I was just as impatient as he was.
I suddenly realized that I wasnt scared anymore. I buckled my seat belt and stared through the window at the sky. It relaxed me. I felt like I was missing something .like there was something that I was going to do before I left home. Finally, I recalled that I was supposed to text my friend to tell her that I wasnt going to be home, because she would call my house every night before she went to bed to talk. My mom and sister would always say we were dating when we would talk for hours. Anyway, I took my seat belt off and reached in my pocket to get my cell phone. All of a sudden I couldnt see anything. All I could see was white. Like a bright piece of white paper. I couldnt breathe I could only hear myself gasping for air...only myself I couldnt hear or see my sister, or dad. I felt like I was running out of air. I needed to breathe, but I couldnt! A few minutes later I could see and hear again. I wasnt happy though, and I was in pain. I started to scream as loud as I could. I could see a piece of glass stuck on my right eyelid. I was bleeding and I started to cry. I saw that my dad was bleeding from his left cheek and checked how my sister was, but my sister wasnt there. I was pretty sure I saw her a few minutes ago but now she wasnt there. I laid down on the seats and looked at my hand. It was flopping back and forth! I could see something white sticking out and I started to get really worried about my hand. I stopped looking at it because it was making me sick. I was covered in blood and I didnt know why. My dad got out of the car and tried to open the back door where I was, but he couldnt .it was completely crushed. He then went to the other door and attempted to open it. He successfully opened it and tried to get me out of there. When he touched my left leg I screamed and told him to stop because it was hurting extremely bad. I kept crying because I didnt know what was happening, I was completely covered in blood. Then I saw my sister again, and she was with my dad. It was a relief! It made me feel a little happy. I felt like I was going to die, so I then calmed down because I knew where I was going. I closed my eyes and told my sister that I loved her.
