Lucky to Be Alive

I looked up just as my mother turned around and her face imdiately change. It was like she was looking at a ghost.

"It's that boy you met on the internet isn't it? You were going to sneak over his place!" She said in a raised voice as she pointed behind me at the window.

I could feel my stomach rise like I was pushed off a tall building. My mother has met him a couple of times during the day, he would take me out for lunch sometimes. But she only knew us as friends, not lovers.

He couldn't be at the window, I kept telling myself.

"Explain to me what he is doing outside your window right now!" My mother yelled forcing tears to blurr my vision.

I slowly turned my head around only to see him get struck by lightning.
