Chracater

Where do i live? what are my goals desires? What was this? A get to know you sheet, more like a stalkers dream paper. I looked back to the paper. name, well that was simple enough, Angel Starlight age 16, but really who needs to know where i live? Smiling i filled out the sheet, 456 east yellow brick road, city: Narnia, middle earth. my goals and desires. Travel? man i just want to get out of here, i glanced down at my bracelet the charms glittering up at me, shinning. The one in particular was a crystal heart. I felt my throat tighten as the memory surfaced,white walls, the smell of cleansers and sanitizer in the air. And my mom lying in that stupid bed, white sheets, white everywhere. Especially her, her hands were like a ghosts, cold and pale, Her grey eyes met mine with a smile. she had reached over and pulled the bracelet she had always worn, a charm bracelet, " so i never forget all the adventures." It had been full of all kinds of crazy things. My favorite had always been the bubble gum wrapper. she would never tell me what it was for, but every time i asked there was always a sneaky smile on her face. It was in that hospital that she handed me the box, it was purple unlike everything else in the room, she handed it to me with shaking fingers putting it in my hands. " For your adventures." she had said. Inside was a charm bracelet completely bare save a heart crystal in the center. " it was your fathers." tears had started dripping down my face then. " She looked into my eyes, the same smile on her face. " Please be happy." she had whispered shutting her eyes. Those eyes that held so much excitement such love... They never opened again. She left, taking my heart with her. " Angel?" My head snapped up, to see Mr. Jones in front of my desk, discomfort in plain on his face, " Are you alright?" it took me a minute to realize to realize a tear had rolled down my cheek. I felt everyone's eyes on me. My cheeks flooded with color, anger rolled through me. why couldn't he have just stayed at his desk and spared me this? thinking fast i said, "yeah yeah my contacts making my eyes water." Tue teacher stood there awkwardly for a moment trying to figure out what to say. " can I go wash it out?" I say, anything to get out of this classroom. " yes, " then taking control of the situation looked t his watch, " there's only five minutes left you might as well just take your stuff." ignoring the starters Boeing Into me I quickly threw everything into my backpack and left the classroom, but just before the door shut I heard the whispers behind me, all of them etching themselves into my mind " she was totally crying." " did you see her she just stared off into space?" " what's wrong with her." " did someone die?" I made my way down the halls and quietly slipping into the bathroom unsure of where else go. To my relief no one was in there. I looked at myself in the mirror skeptically trying to see any signs of redness or puffiness. My eyes still were the same hazel green. they weren't bloodshot. No evidence of what pain had just moved through me, none at all. And that sent another huge was of pain crashing through me, tightening my throat.there was no mark no proof that she had ever felt her anguish. They was nothing. Nothing qt all. I had to get out of here. With these walls pressing in on me I had to leave to get ro the one place I felt I could be truly alone, the trees. They had always been my comforters but even looking outside the window, and seeing the old tree spiraling high into the sky I knew I couldn't. School was almost out an besides I couldn't sit on there property and be myself. I had to be someone no one could follow a place no one knew. I shoved my hand fin my pocket waiting for the familiar jingle of keys but instead pulled up a balled piece of paper. I started it unfolding it's distorted shape. It was the paper I had jut started writing. I glanced down ay the falls and dreams. I stated at it with a new frown annoyance. And then in my fit of rage tore it up and through it was. Just Ike my mother, my dreams had does with her
