2 hours passed by so fast since Anastasia's parents were gone.

Anna didn't even notice at all because all the time she was reading.

Anastasia hated reading but she was so engrossed into this book that she couldn't take her eyes off of it!

Anna kept on reading and reading even though she felt so lonely she imagined herself as if she was in the book.

She would do just about anything to keep her loneliness off her mind.

After 4 hours of reading she knew that her eyes would burst if she read anymore so she sat the book down.

She began to think. Her deep thoughts came in. She was remorsed and terrified that these so called thoughts would turn into reality, and that was something she didn't want to happen.

Her thoughts were interrupted with a loud thud! It was her parents.

She rushed to greet them. As she hugged her mother she felt the warmth and love that her mother carried....

------------

(1 day before school starts)

"Ughh.. " Anna groaned. "Do I have to go to school?  The people at MK High seem so stuck up."

It had been weeks since the open house and Anna didn't seen to like the students she met at her new high school where she would be attending.

"Yes, Anna. You do have to go to MK High. You need education honey and if you stay at home for the rest of your life your brain will turn into mush." said Mrs. Young

"But mommmm....... " Anastasia let out a big sigh.

"No buts Anastasia. You've already been enrolled and you're going there!" Mrs. Young had raised her voice without realizing it.

Anastasia started tearing up. She was sensitive to people raising their voices.

(Back to Anastasia's past)

In middle school, when Anna was in 6th grade she started to get scared and it was all because of her first boyfriend's fault.

(She blamed him and only HIM since then.)

Scared of what??

Scared of the world, of loud noises, of people's stern tones in their voices, and most of all, she was scared of getting hurt.

Anxiety kicked in and that was only one of the symptoms.

It worsened and by the end of 8th grade, her anxiety and depression grew so great she was admitted to the hospital for months.

Anastasia was now going in the 11th grade. She still had these emotions of fear, but she had overcome some of them.

------------

Anastasia's mother felt so terrible for raising her voice.

"I'm so sorry baby. I didn't mean to sound so stern. I love you." Mrs. Young said with guilt all written over her.

Anna replied, " It's okay mom. I know you didn't mean to. " she said this with a quiver in her voice.

It was nighttime by the time Anna and her mom were done eating.

Anastasia went up to her room.

What would MK high be like? Would she be able to make friends?  What if things are that bad?
Would she be able to SURVIVE?.. Anastasia asked herself all these questions as she was getting ready for bed. She knew she had to stop worrying.

So slowly Anastasia closed her eyes and imagined a world without her anxieties in life, a world without her EMOTIONAL fears....
