Well let's start off by telling you about the title for those of you who don't know what Monday Night RAW is. It's wrestling. I'm a huge wrestling fan and my favorite wrestler is John Cena. (HE'S HOTTTTTTT.) The reason I came up with this title is because that's when it happened, during Monday Night RAW so let's get to it.

My best friend Courtney knows I'm a huge fan and I really don't liked to be bothered when I'm watching it. He knows that, which is why he likes to call and aggravate me while it's on, because I'm so into it. He does this all the time, but this time was different. At 8:15 and 8:45pm I was getting phone calls and the screen would light up. It was Courtney. I picked up. No answer.

This happened several times and each time it was Courtney. A thing about Courtney is that he had been on the wrong path of life for a while. All through junior high and high school he was in and out of juvenile for fighting, drugs and various other things. People would ask me why I hung out with Courtney so much. Well, he was cute for one. He had pretty blonde hair and beautiful greenish blue eyes and a smile that would make you weak in the knees, but I knew him too long and we couldn't get together like that. We were like brother and sister. All the girls thought he was cute but were scared of him cause he stayed in trouble. I would tell them Courtney is my best friend and I love him. He's not a bad person but he has his demons and he'll get it right. When he figured out what he was doing wasn't helping him but hurting him and he wanted to stop, he completely turned his life around and a year ago he went to college.

I got another call and it was Courtney again. I picked up like I had the other times and still NO ANSWER! Okay, this is getting on my nerves. All of a sudden - I kid you not - the lights went off, the TV went off, my cell phone went off, and my computer went OFF!!!! Then my attention was directed to the TV screen like someone was turning my head. Right there, clear as day, I saw Courtney's face. My phone rang and I had no choice but to pick up he phone like someone was doing it for me. It was Courtney's voice saying, "I just wanted to say I love you and goodbye. I will always be here for you. Thank you for everything," he was speaking slowly like you would talk to someone who couldn't hear.

The face smiled and disappeared. Everything went back to normal except for me. I was shocked and the match I was watching on TV picked up where it left off. Then the phone rang again. It was 9:05 pm exactly. This time it was Courtney's sister, Arin. I asked her had she heard from her brother and she said, "That's what I wanna talk to you about. You see, Courtney was at a friend's house and his friend made a bad drug deal and decided he wanted to shoot up the house. Courtney was caught in the crossfire and was killed instantly."

I was still shocked and told her about the phone calls that started at around 8. That he must've called earlier and she said it wasn't possible because the shooting happened at 5 and Courtney died at the hospital at exactly 8:15 pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
