The Silence Between Us

Chapter 1:The beginning of us

"Silence isn't empty,it is full of answers"

"Raine......"my mom screamed

Then suddenly a big truck comes directly towards us, before I knew it the truck collided with us.

I started to scream, my body was on fire, and the rain was heavy. I couldn't breathe,I wanted to shout,but I couldn't. Then suddenly,an alarm buzz on making me to open my eyes widely.

I was panting heavily, and I swipe the sweat away from my forehead. I always dreamt about the incident that happened nine years ago.

I sigh, rubbing my temple and I grab a glass of water from my nightstand. I stared at myself in the mirror, revealing my messy light brown hair and hazel eyes.

I am 5'8 tall

I looked through my window, and I watched as the wind blew quietly

It definitely looks like it is going to rain

I shivered at the sound of the thunder  striking.

Yes,I have this fear of thunder, and it was kinda related to my past 9 years ago. I watched as the wind blew again, and I hurriedly went downstairs just to be greeted with a pair of eyes which belongs to no one other than Rose Winter.

Rose Winter,my annoying fifteen year old stepsister. Her blonde hair is pulled in a messy bun,and her blue eyes were swollen which screams'I had a terrible night'.

Something told me it has to do with the weather.

"What happen to you?"I asked taking the milk from the fridge, and sipping it in my mouth.

"I did not have a good night"she said

Obviously

She sniffled, and I turn towards her dropping my milk glass on the counter.

"You have cold?"I stared at her paled face as she nodded helplessly
"Mom?"I asked her
She turned to give me a bored look

"She is not home"she said"again"

My stepmom, Jennifer a psychologist and a very busy woman. She is rarely at home, mainly because of her work but nevertheless, I still love her,she makes time for us, even though she is busy.

I sigh, staring at the clock on the wall.
"Aren't you going to school?"I turn towards her
"hmm......in case you haven't realize,I have cold and that stupid rain is about to fall"She replies dryly.

Rose,she hates rain because it gives her cold, and I love rain because it calms me down.

I stare outside the window, and it was beginning to rain slowly. I turn towards her shaking my head at her
"Sucks to you"

"Thanks for making me feel better"she glared at me, and I rolled my eyes at her sarcasm.

"Well,I have a thing called school,so adios"I told her heading to my room.

It took me a minute or so, to be ready for school. I sprayed my vanilla mixed perfume, quickly putting on my grey skinny jeans and my grey jacket,under it was a white shirt. I placed the logo of my school in front of the grey jacket. Packing my brown hair in a high ponytail and I quickly tied up my black and white converse.

I know I don't wear fancy cloths, but I love it like this, that is what makes me, well me.

I smiled at myself in the mirror, carrying my white backpack and arranging my stuffs into it.

*************
There was a past I was trying to get away from,but I know deep down I can never run away from it.

I am trying to live a normal life, with no past haunting me.
