Twenty-two-year-old Athena Paulsen's life is a never-ending tragedy, but on the surface everything seems fine. A fine daughter, dependable sister, successful entrepreneur and renowned doctor. She is the envy of the town. But if you pull the curtain...
"Athena I'm sorry" Evelyn said. I simply ignored her and looked at the sky. I'm right now sitting on the railing and Evelyn is apologizing for the scene she created yesterday.
"Leave me alone " i said. "Athena I'm sorry please forgive me " she said. I walked towards her and said "Evelyn you do know that what you did yesterday was wrong" "Yes...but i don't regret it " the nerve of this girl. She is such a headache.
"I promise I won't do it again " Eve said. "Ok fine, i forgive you now go" i said "Aren't you going to come for the party" she asked. I shook my head in no.
"I want to be alone right now" i said "Ok fine, i will go for the party. Since someone needs to be present " she said and walked out of the room. I sat down on the swing and buried my face in my hand. I can't believe it just. After 2 days Amelia is getting married.
Today's Amelia's bachelorette party. I never wanted to be the part of any celebration. I just want to go back to London. I'm really gonna miss this place. I even need to inform Evelyn about my decision. I don't know how will she react.
I looked at Evelyn's car leaving and suddenly i felt a blanket of loneliness surrounds me. I feel so alone. There is no one who has time to hear my problem. I feel alone even in a crowd. I really need to clear mind right now. And i know where i exactly need to go. I quickly changed my clothes and wore a white tee length dress. I paired my outfit with a flats and tied my hair in a ponytail.

I took my car keys and walked out of the house. I sat inside the car and drove towards one place where i can feel some peace.
My car parked infront of the cemetery for a while. But i don't have enough guts to step out of it. I looked down at the red roses in my hand. It was her favourite. I really don't know why she loved this flower so much. Never got the chance to ask her. I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. I gave a smile to the grave keeper and walked inside the cemetery.
Within few seconds i found myself standing infront of her with a bouquet of red rose in my hand. My hands trembled as i placed the bouquet of flowers on top of her grave. Falling on my knees, i buried my face in my hand as tears dropped from my eyes.
"Mom, i miss you so much.."
I stares at the engraving boldly written on the tombstone.
Isabella Paulsen
September 1970- July 2007
Mother, wife, daughter, sister
May her soul rest in perfect peace
Tears streams down my eyes. I miss her so much. "Mom why did you left me all alone? Why??" I asked. I only got silence as a reply.
"Mom answers me please" i cried my eyes momentarily blurred as water pooled heavily in my eyes. "Mom ? I need you now. I need you to hold me and say everything is going to be okay. Come back to me" i cried.
