Moonlight Drive [River Phoenix]

Chapter 1

I stepped into the kitchen while my parents were fighting.
Immediately, something collided with my head, and the tiled floor rushed to my face.
I lay on the cold floor, and my reflection on a spaghetti pot caught my eye.
My hair was a dirty blonde color- that's all I remembered.
~~~
"Hana!" My friend Aria called from behind me as I walked down the cement steps of the school yard. I turned around to face my brunette friend. "Hey," I said with a smile plastered to my face.
My eyes, though, were dull.
She walked next to me, telling me about her history grades, and her new science partner, not once asking me about my day.
I just kept that same smile on my face and continued on with walking to my house.

When we neared my house, she waved bye to me, and I slowly made my way up the porch steps, opening the soot black door. I was greeted by my mom and dad, yelling and throwing things. Don't get me wrong- my parents aren't like those parents that beat their kids and fought for no reason. They never agreed on, well, really much anything. They both loved me, though.

I quickly made my way up the sleek wooden steps to my bedroom, and plopped down on my window seat. I heard my mom sob, and a glass break. My mom and dad had a weird relationship; they'd throw things, but wouldn't dare hurt one another. But now it was silent. I bolted up, skipping steps on the staircase, running to where the kitchen is. "Mom-?" I said worriedly, before the cold metal slammed into my face.

I fell onto the tiled flooring, pain ringing in my ears. My vision was blurry, and I could hear echoed voices of, "Hana! I'm so sorry-" from my sobbing father. I could hear my mother's faint hyperventilating, and everything dimmed, until it was completely black.
