Ski Trip Gone Wrong
“I don’t feel so good about this guys, maybe we should go back home and just relax
there for the week”. Removing her suitcase from the trunk of the jeep, Laquisha Sims
smiled and said “relax Becca, It’s alright”.
“That’s what you say” Becca mumbled under her breath as she stepped out into the cold of the winter resort watching her breath rise into the air and disappear.
“This resort is going to be awesome Becca, what are you talking about?” Kim Brass
laughed as she attempted to push her suitcase up the very steep hill leading to the resort,
slipping down each time.
“ C’mere babe, let me help” Roderick Davis came up behind Kim to help her push
the suitcase up the hill but ended up kissing Kim in the snow instead, with the suitcase
laying helplessly on its side.
Then, clapping Roderick in the head Becca said “ get that damn suitcase up there so we can go inside, its getting dark out here” she glanced around fearfully.
“ Stop being such a punk” Alex smiled and slid over next to Becca.
“I am not being a punk Alex, so shut up” she playfully punched him in the arm and squealed with fear and joy as he scooped her up and charged into the nearest snow bank.
“Gee thanks a lot Alex, now I’m probably going to get a cold and its all your fault” Becca frowned shivering in the bright blue blanket that she had brought along with her. She was sitting on the bed with her head in Alex’s lap.
“I’m sorry babe, sorry” Alex stroked Becca’s long dark brown hair and toyed with her ear. “St-st- ACHOOO!” Becca sat up abruptly and fell off the bed. Everyone sitting in the vicinity doubled over laughing.
“Laquisha, Shawn? You guys haven’t said anything since we got here why are you two so q- OH!” Kim stopped suddenly as everyone looked over at the two and stuck out their tongues in slight disgust.
“Gee, maybe its because they haven’t let each other go since they got in the car!” Becca laughed getting up off of the floor and sitting back on the bed.
“That’s actually not a bad idea” Alex tackled Becca down onto the bed and started kissing her lovingly.
“Stop it Alex!” Becca sat up and pushed Alex off of her. “Come on Becca, why not?” Alex pleaded; Becca stared at him and bluntly said straight out “No Alex”.
Later on that day Kim came to Becca who was sitting on the bed drinking hot cocoa. “Hey, Becca… we’re all going skiing later, wanna come?”. Becca sipped her cocoa slowly, savored the flavor then, glancing over at the crackling fire said “no, could you tell Alex to come here please?”.
“Sure Becca, are you okay?” “yeah, I’m fine”. “Well ok, I’m going to get Alex now”, “thanks”.
A few minutes later Alex appeared in the room his fair skin appeared orange in the fire light. “Yeah?” he asked as he strolled over and sat down on the bed.
Becca scooted over to him, “I wasn’t trying to be funny earlier, I just wasn’t in the mood that’s all”.
“Yeah, don’t worry about it, it’s cool” Alex replied attempting to get up and leave, Becca grabbed his hand and pulled him back onto the bed.
“You go on and go skiing, when you come back, come see me… you’ll be happy, I promise”. Becca kissed Alex and smiled fondly as he then reluctantly left the room.

“BECCA!!!!!! BECCA GET UP!”.
“Huh? What’s wrong Kim?”.
“IT’S ALEX, BECCA. BECCA, HE’S GONE!!!!”.
“What do you mean?” Becca asked rubbing her eyes.
“HE’S GONE, WHEN WE WERE SKIING HE TURNED OFF THE PATH! HE DIDN’T MEAN TO BUT HE- HE FELL, FELL OFF THE CLIFF! AMBULANCE IS DOWNSTAIRS TRYING TO GET HIM TO THE CLOSEST HOSPITAL! BUT ITS PROBABLY TO LATE!!!!”.
Becca suddenly jumped up from the bed and screamed “WHAT?”. She pushed past Kim and clambered down the stairs, still clad in her baby blue p.j’s. “She spotted paramedics in the lobby carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher was someone bloody and mangled, “that couldn’t be Alex, could it?” she silently asked herself.
She looked at his hand and seen the ring she had bought him for his birthday 3 weeks ago and broke down.
“ALEX!!!!!!!” she screamed, “ALEX NO!!!!!!”. She scrambled to the stretchers side and threw herself at Alex.
“H-hey Be-Becca, thing-things don’t loo-loo-look so ho-hot right abo-about now do th-they?” Alex said, gasping for air between each word.
“Ma’am you have to let us take him” a man dressed in a white doctor suit said softly. “White” Becca thought “the color of an angels robe”.
“No” she said calmly, trying to hold back what was left of her tears. “Becca, are we s-still on f- for to-toni-tonight?” Alex asked trying to smile.
“Al, you perv” Becca kissed Alex and was not surprised when he didn’t kiss her back.
“B-Becca” he gasped, “yeah Alex?” she replied. He grabbed her hand and held it tight, “I love you”. His hand suddenly felt heavy and limp, Alex was dead.
“Alex?” Becca said looking into his face, “Hey Alex?” tears welled up in her eyes. “ALEX!!!” she began shaking him.
“Ma’am, back away. There’s nothing you can do for him now” the angel man said helping her off of the ground to which she had fallen. “Alex” she cooed looking into the face of her late lover, “Alex” she said once more before she blacked out.
Ending number two:
“Alex!” Becca laughed pushing him, but not stopping him from nibbling on her ear.
“Woah, lets leave these kids alone and let them conceive” Kim laughed, “Lets go skiing”.
“Becca and Alex didn’t stop when the door slammed (Becca hadn’t heard Kim’s suggestion, and she wanted to hold tight to Alex to stop him from leaving and never coming back), instead things got really hot and heavy. They rolled on the bed, making out like never before.
“Alex?” Becca suddenly said stopping him, “do you love me?”.
“Of course I do babe, why?”.
“Because, I just wanted to know”
“Well yeah, I love you more than life… more than sex”.
“Well gee, that’s sure saying a lot” Becca sighed.
“Well its true, like it o-”.
“Just shut up and kiss me boy” Becca pulled him on top of her…

“BECCA, ALEX!!!!!! BECCA, ALEX GET UP!”.
“Huh? What’s wrong Kim?”.
“IT’S RODERIK, BECCA. BECCA, HE’S GONE!!!!”.
“What do you mean?” Alex asked rubbing his eyes.
“HE’S GONE, WHEN WE WERE SKIING HE TURNED OFF THE PATH! HE DIDN’T MEAN TO BUT HE- HE HIT A BIG TREE BRANCH, HIS HEAD IS GONE!!!!!”.
“What the-!!!” Alex and Becca stood up together and followed Kim down the stairs into the lobby where people from the morgue were loading Roderick’s body into a bag.
“Oh my God!” Becca doubled over hurling. “Why does this keep happening?” she thought.
“Becca, Becca? You okay?”. Becca seen Alex’s face over hers before she blacked out once more.
Ending number 3:
“Stop it Alex!” Becca sat up and pushed Alex off of her.
“Come on Becca, why not?” Alex pleaded; Becca looked at him and said “Later Alex… now, lets go get some hot cocoa”.
“Oooh, good idea” Kim said, “lets go skiing after wards”.
“NO!!” Becca suddenly screamed “NO SKIING FOR THE WHOLE TIME WE’RE HERE! NONE WHAT -SO -EVER!”.
“Why not Becca?” Alex asked.
“Just because I don’t wanna go is all” Becca said.
“Okay fine, since Becca paid for the trip, lets do as she asks and not go skiing… we can do virtual skiing down in the lobby instead” Roderick suggested.
“Yes” Becca cooed, “That would be nice”. She climbed out of the bed and followed her friends down stairs, friends who had no idea that Becca had just saved their lives.
