"So what happened to your dad anyways?" Daniel asks as I run the body brush over Rebels black coat. I look at him, my green/blue eyes icy.

"They got divorced when I was little...then my dad died. I don't like to talk about." I turn my back to him and rest my arms on Rebels back. I can Feel Daniels eyes burning into my back before he speaks."i- I'm sorry, I didn't know." I can tell by the way his voice quivers, he didn't mean it. I shrug my shoulders, trying to seem it wasn't a big deal he brought up that pacific subject.
"Whatever. it's not like I can go back and change it." I stifle a cold laugh. "if I can I would of already...for a lot of things" Daniel smiles and opens the stall gate as I walk out.
"So you gonna ride?" I freeze. just the word ride made every pain I had in the hospital return.
"No." I spit not trying to hide the sneer behind my words. I walk away, not giving him a chance to reply. I lay in my bed, just noticing the tiny buzz jittering up my spine. I run my fingers along my spine, and even though it hurts I do it anyway. I guess this Pain covers the pain of my past. the fall, my dad's car hitting into that truck, all the black at his funeral and all the white of the hospital. I wake up with a start, not knowing I had fallen asleep. it's the next day and my mom is looming over me a giant smile on her face. and I mean giant. I let out a small scream before falling off my bed.
"Mom!!" I yell as I stand up. "What's the deal?!" I say as I dust myself off. my mom starts jumping like a little kid on Christmas.
"Ooo honey I'm so proud if you!!!"
"What?" I say pulling out my hairbrush and running it through all the tangles.
"Alex! Your going to school!!"
