My name is Elena Brooks. I'm 16 years old. I live in a town called Forks here in Washington.
I have lived here for about five years...
I go to woodland high school, its called woodland because of the town...
Almost everything is woods... Beutilful woods so green an filled with wildlife and nature.
Its really amazing actually... I go and hang out there sometimes, I have a few special spots where I can just sit and write in my diary...
My parents were murdered by something unknown... They went for a walk, like they did every Saturday morning, but they never came back... It took the police department three days to find them... In other words, 3 days living in hell and wandering if there still alive or not...
They found them in the woods, laying together, with blood every where...
And the only reason i know that is as there daughter,
I demaned to look at the police files... So I saw the pictures of the crime scene...
It was heart breaking... But, I felt like I had to look I had to see it for myself, to believe it.
They still haven't figured out what happened to them, and it's been 3 months...
They said it could be another animal atack but, they don't know for sure...
I now live with my moms sister, Aunt Sara she's 24 and single, shes pretty awesome...
And my little brother Lucas, he's 15, I have to keep him out of trouble... He likes to get high,
on drugs, alot, and skip classes... Every since Mom and dad died, he's Been that way...
He used to be a really good kid, he had good grades and good attitude, he used to be happy...
It kills me that my parents are dead but, on top of that it kills me to see him like that...
I can't get him to stop, he won't ever talk to me our any one about it...
I miss my mom and dad so much... There names were Rebecca Brooks that was my mom and Bryan Brooks was my dad...
They were the best... They loved each other and they showed it...
We spent a lot of time together and had a great time, all the time,
it was practically perfect...
But now there gone. I either go in the woods like after school or I sit in my widow seat and just stare or write on my diary...
Since my parents died I have no hope or faith in anything...
If I didn't have my Aunt Sara and my brother Lucas, I sure as hell whouldent be her right now...
I just sit and grieve... I eat enough food to equal about 1 meal a day if I even bother to eat...
I hardly sleep at night ....
And when I do sleep I have night mares, about my parents being murderd so I wake up in the middle of the night screaming, and crying...
I live in a white 2 story house 3 bedroom and 2 full baths.
Aunt Sara has the master bedroom downstairs, and Lucas and I share the bathroom upstairs cause our bedrooms are upstairs.
The things I tell my self through out the day is, "things will get better" or " miracles can happen some just take longer than others" I love quotes... Expecially encouraging ones...
Cause thats what I need encouraging ones..
I walk around in school faking a smile...
Every one asks of I'm okay....
And I slap on that fake smile and say "yeah" or "I'm fine" but the truth is I'm dying inside...
But I have to realize I have to be strong and that i can't fix it,
I can't go back in time and save my mom and dad, so that Lucas and I could be happy again...
PS sorry for the short chapter...
And it will get better as the chapters go's on! I really hope you guys like it! And tell me what you think!!!
