"CAN'T TRUST MY MIND, IT'S SUCH A LIAR" Amber, my sister, and I are yelling the lyrics to 'Rue- Girl in Red'. "Next song!!!" She yells while poking me. She was driving and I was in the passenger choosing the next song. "Girl in Red again!!" She yells, Girl in Red is her favourite. I put her favourite one, 'We fell in love in October' on. "YESSS!" she yells. I laughed as she starts yelling the lyrics.
We were so distracted by the music that we didn't see how fast we were driving and the bridge in front of us. All I heard was my sister yelling as the car goes through the rails, into the river.
I flicker my eyes open, seeing red and blue lights and hearing an ambulance. I saw my sister's bloody, cold, dead body. My eyes widened. "A-Amber? A-AMB-AMBER!! W-WAKE U-Up!" My eyes slowly start to close as paramedics rush to our aid.
I shoot up from my bed and look around, it was a dream. Although it was kind of a flashback. I started crying, Amber died in that crash. "ALEX! HURRY UP AND GET READY, YOU NEED TO LEAVE IN 30 MINUTES!" My mom yells from downstairs. I get up and go to my closet and pick out my uniform.
I walk into the kitchen, going to crab my water bottle. "You are going to your dad's for the weekend." I hear my mom say. "WHAT! Why!? He is like 3 hours away" my mom looks at me with daggered eyes. My parents divorced a week after the accident. My dad moved 3 hours away since he 'couldn't bare living near her.' I hated driving there, ever since the accident, I had a fear of being in a vehicle.
"I can't deal with your fake depression." She says, randomly. There are times where she can get on my nerves and now is one of those times. I walk out of the kitchen leaving the house. I take a 10 minute walk to my school and enter the building.
"Heyyy! If it isn't Alex!" I hear Lilly say. She is a good friend of mine, she really understands me. "Hey L." She walks up to me and gives me a hug. "What's up? You look a bit down?" She looks at me with worry in her eyes. "My mom told me I need to go to my father this weekend." She looks a bit angry now. "Ugh! That bitch. She doesn't understand trauma at all." I nod.
Ring! Ring!
"The bell rang, we should get to class." Lilly says. I nod and we head to our first class.
The last period ended and I sighed a sigh of relief. I got up and left the class. "Hey Al. Let's walk together, huh?" Lilly asks. "Sure." We left the school building and started walking on the sidewalk and talking about random things. "Oh! And then he fell! Hahha-"
We laughed as we neared my house. "Oh, it's my stop, sorry we couldn't talk more, I'll call you, byee!" I wave and enter my house.
"Pack your bags, your going straight in the morning." My smile dropped. "Why! Why can't I go at midday or something!"
She looked at me again. Her face turning slightly red from anger. I fucked up...
"DONT YELL AT ME YOU UNGRATEFUL SHIT! I HAVE TRIED SO HARD AND NOW YOUR YELLING!" *Cough* cough* excuse me, this bitch has done nothing. "I'm sorry Mother, I'll go pack" I lower my head and head upstairs to my room.
I close the door and jump onto my bed. "I am so tired of this shit!" Tears fall down my cheeks. My eyes drift towards a picture of me and my sister. "Why'd you have to leave. Everything went downhill once you died. I wish you were here..." I close my eyes, slowly drifting to sleep.
My eyes flicker open. What time is it? 8pm!? I get up, "how long was I asleep for, I missed dinner.." I leave my room and go to the kitchen. "About time, I called like 10 times, Alex!" My mom says from behind me, giving me a heartattack. "Sorry, I fell asleep." She rolls her eyes. "Foods in the fridge, I'm going to bed, night." I wave at her and walk towards the fridge. Oh, it's pasta, again. I take it and pop it in the microwave.
I clean my bowl and put it away after drying it. I should head to bed.
After, like, 30 minutes, I decided that since I can't sleep, I'll pack for tomorrow.
I grabbed a bag and started throughing random clothing into the bag. I put my favorite book in to read and then some toiletries. Done. I zip it up and head back into bed. I look through all of my messages.
Hey Al, I was wondering if

I grabbed my bag and got the homework out and started doing it.
Finally doneeee. I put the books down and go to sleep.
"ALEX! GET UP, YOU NEED TO LEAVE IN 30 MINUTES!" I open my eyes, my ears ringing from her loud voice. "Im up" *yawn* I am so tired. Maybe I'll get a coffee on the way there.
I was driving on the road, turning into the nearest Starbucks.
"Hello, what you like, sir" I look at the menu. "Toffee nut frappachino please." She nods, "your name?" "Alex" she nods and I go to the waiting counter. There was a seat near na di sat down. Finally a break from that horrible vehicle. "Alex!" A Starbucks worker yells out my name. "here. Thank you". He smiles and I got back to my car
On the road again:'(
