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
