Vanessa

It starts like a storm outside.  It's pretty raining. I can see from my wondow. Curled up in bed. A perfect honey moon after your parents chase out your crush. I pick my hankie shedding off a few tears.
    It doesn't matter really. My life sucks. I will get over it sometime. I'll have to let go.
    I pick up my phone, sending Debbie a message. She calls.
I ignore her.
      I literally want to cry into the middle of the night. I want to feel disturbed , unloved. I want the universe to swallow me up.
    The phone boozes. It's Debbie again.
Find him inside the lobby.

What does that mean? I text back.
    I don't know how I fell into sleep but all over a sudden I feel refreshed and strong. My energies are really over the top.
     My life is drifting before me. In a second, I am once again eight years old. We're in a museum. Me and MY little brother Daniel. He's choking on his candy as always.
     Taking my aim to the market centre...I find myself clearly devastated.
     If I can find myself into a more relaxing state it would be holding my brother into my arms once again and telling him how much I miss him...

The door outside knocks, kicking me out of my sleep.
   To my great disappointment, mom is standing in the door. In that red night dress.
"Vanie..." she comes closer to the bed post," I need you to grow up. You need energy my daughter. Get off the ground. It's time to get the best you've ever wanted. You can't let your emotions define you. "
    I try to say, it's OK, she needn't worry, but my lips feel as though tied.  I can't make my words come out.
     "He's gone then. What's his name again?"
"Can we change the subject please?" I beckon her.
  She looks bewildered...what's with all the revenge in her heart. She's probably not expecting me to just sit down and relax and be the good girl while my emotions take control.
  I can tell she's mad.
