    Mr. Black was an old man who lived ion a small wooden cottage on the water. He only had one daughter and a granddaughter whose name was Ruby.

    One hot summer day 4 year old Ruby sat on her grandfathers’ lap nearly crying.

   “Grampa,  you are going to go soon. I don’t want you to leave,.”Ruby said

    “I will never go without saying goodbye’.” Mr. Black said

    Tthat day Ruby went home with her mom.

   When they got home Ruby plopped on the couch and started to ball.

    “ Mom grandpas gonna go and I won't say goodbye and-”Ruby cried just as her mom interrupted her.

    “ Thats not true. I heard him say that he would never leave without you saying goodbye.”

    Ruby looked at her mom like she had six heads then ran to her room singing a cheerful song.

    Just as Ruby sat on the bed she realized that she had forgot Mr. Tom her toy dog at the small cottage.

    She ran out with a scared look on her face.

    “Mom I left Mr. Tom at grandpas. Can we go get him?’

    “Ya I need to grab my bag while we are at it.”

    On the ten minute ride from their house to Mr. Blacks they sang to song on the radio as loud as the could. Ruby felt much better.

  They knocked on the door but the old man didn't answer so they opened the door and slowly walked in.

    Mr. Black was nowhere to be found.

    “ Mom where is grandpa. I don’t see him anywhere?” little Ruby asked scared.

    Rubys mom was sitting on the kitchen floor staring at the old Mr. Black just laying      there as still as still could be his pale face lightened by only the sun’s bright rays shining through the old glass window.

    “Ruby grandpas gone!’ her mother cried.

    Ruby ran over to look then when she saw the horrible sight she started hitting and screaming at her mom.

    “You said that he would never go mom you said he would stay! You said so mom!”

    “Ruby sweety I meant that he was going on a three month vacation in russia because of his retirement.” her mom said grabbing the phone to call 911.

    Tears soaked little Ruby's eyes as she looked down at her grandpa's gentle face when his eyes slowly opened as he breathed slowly.

    Ruby smiled and kissed his cheek.

    She sang one of his favorite songs to him as he fell back into a deep sleep.

    When the ambulance arrived they told Ruby and her mom that he had a heart attack but he would recover quickly and as soon as he got out of the hospital he had to come live with an elderly home.

    Ruby insisted that he was to live with them. So that was the way it would be.

    Ruby and her mom followed the ambulance to the hospital not singing a song found on the radio but Mr. Black’s favorite song. “Silent night”.

Unbroken                                                By:Austin Britton

 It is said a lot happens in life. For example you learn something new each day. Some people say their life sucks, it may seem so to them. But I believe that life is a given. I’m just here to tell you a little story on my life. My name is Jane Smith.

My life has gotten worse ever since the beginning of the wonderful season of spring in 2014. Or at least I thought it would be.

It all started when my best frenemy Molly Whitman decided to blame me for smoking in the girl’s bathroom. When I knew from the start it was classic Molly and I don’t even smoke never have never will. I got called to the principal's office not long after I had heard what Molly said. When I arrived at the principal’s office Molly was there and Mrs.Kent was furious. She I need to stop lying and that Molly was telling the truth and that Molly was all so an eye witness. Ha eye my face. I was so mad that I had to think twice on if I should punch Molly.

I ended  up getting 5 detentions each two and a half hours long and a call home of course. Mrs.Kent called my Mom and told what had happened and asked if I could serve one tonight she answered with a very deep yes. I asked Mrs.Kent if I could talk to her she said yes and I tried to talk to her but she said she didn’t want to hear it and hung up.

School had just let out after sitting through 45 minutes of Science with a guilty conscience.I was so nervous tat I felt vomiting.It was now time for detention number 1.I had to stay for  2 hours for five days which was bad but I atleast was in my favorite teachers room Mr.Tall’s. I moaned in despair I was also embarrassed because I was the only one there.I really thought that this needed to change like right now and that I was innocent.Mr.Tall then asked me if I had any work to do I replied with no sir.Mr.Tall said that he believed me and that Molly had pulled this crap since he first had her in 6th grade for homeroom.Even though she is in 8th grade now which is kind of pathetic considering  she is almost a women.

Mr.Tall then started talking about his life and that he had been in the same position just a different conflict. I had realized that it was time to go when Mrs.Kent and my mom busted through the door.They both sat down to talk to me and said that what I did was very wrong.I tried to tell them but again they didn’t listen.

Mom then said lets go home now and we walked to the car with mom slamming her door closed. We drove for a little and I realized that my mom was being quiet and that is not her my mom is always talkative.I attempted to ask what was wrong.Then at the top of her lungs she screamed you got caught smoking in the bathroom!She then started saying ever since your dad left you've been getting in trouble like every day now its always something new and that needs to stop starting tomorrow I answered with an ok.we had just gotten home when we finished talking.I went inside immediately and went straight to my room.I thought why would Molly do this but then I realized that she is Molly and I can’t change that.I and need to get my story straight and that  needed to happen tomorrow.

I woke up ready for school. I got dressed ate my breakfast then mom drove me to school quiet again.I got out ready for my day and to achieve my goal.I confronted Mrs.Kent about my issue and she said that I was inasent the whole time.It was Molly she also said that she was sorry and I didn’t need to worry about it anymore.It was a miracle!

I then went on with my day like normal and with a smile right after school mom picked me up with a sudden smile as soon as she laid eyes on me.We drove straight home mom said that she was proud of me for telling the truth and that she was sorry and I was to. We then went inside again I went straight to my room like normal and thinking about getting an early rest considering it was 8 o clock now. I then laid my head on my pillow Unbroken.
