Facing Your Fears

It was October 17th and everyone was excited for Halloween coming up. Eric a football quarter back, straight A student, and had his life planned out, was having a early halloween party the next day. About everyone was going to go. Besides Sarah. Sarah was the captain of the basketball team and had really good grades."Come on," said Sarah's friend, Jeanie. Jeanie was Sarah's friend since elementary school."No I don't want to go to a stupid party with drugs and alcohol," said Sarah. "Eric not like that," said Jeanie. "Yes but his friends are like that." The day had come and it was a matter of hours before something tragic happens. "Okay I'm leaving," called Jeanie. "Jeanie please don't leave. Okay, okay I'll go," said Sarah. Both Jeanie and Sarah arrived in a black Jeep on top of a hill near Eric's house. You've can hear the music blasting and people having a good time. Sarah had a expression of regret on her face. As they into the house everyone was dancing and cheering everyone. Eric approached them."Hey guys having a good time." Jeanie respond,"Yes!We are having a great time." Eric smiled and walked along. "Can we go home now?" Said Sarah."Um no, we just got here," said Jeanie. Sarah was uncomfortable where she was and had a weird feeling that something was going to happen. Two hours had passed by and everyone was still partying. " It's getting late," said Sarah. " We should go home." Jeanie sighed and said," Just stay for a bit longer." Sarah agreed. "Help! Someone help!" Jeanie and Sarah turned around and noticed the house was on fire. People were running and screaming. " Come let's leave!" Said Jeanie. "No we have to help the ones inside. I think Eric is in there" Sarah begin running towards the house and Jeanie followed along. When they got inside the house people were laying on the floor. Eric was seen in the distance helping others get out. They pulled people out and each minute the fire begin to grow. "Did we get everyone?" asked Sarah well coughing. Eric said,"I think so." As they were beginning to leave they heard a scream comimg from upstairs. All three of them ran upstairs. Once they were upstairs they saw a girl. She begin to pour oil on them.   They had no idea what was going on. "Stop!" yelled Eric. Then she lit a match and threw it at the three. From outside the house you can hear the screaming, terrifying and fearful voices of Eric, Sarah and Jeanie. They never came out of the house again.


My greatest fear is becoming a failure. I'm always working hard and doing the best I can. But if I turn into something that I'm not proud of, I know that I didn't do my best and have failed. Being somewhere I know I should be is telling myself that I've made it and I've overcome my fear.
