Diary Of A Teenage Girl

Chapter 2: Emily's Past...!

We entered the house, with shakey legs. I was frightened of the new place that was ready for us to stay in. Sheila spoke, "come on in Em, come on Jack". Hearing the word 'EM' had left tears in my eyes. My mother called me that, short for Emily. "So children, you guys want to rest or you want to come and play in the garden"? Rodger asked with a smile on his lips. "Um, I think I'll take some rest". I spoke as I moved towards the bedroom with trembling legs.

I turned back and saw Jack looking around amused. "Jack, you coming"? "Yes Emily I'm coming. I'm really tired today, school was tiring". He said those sentences as he walked towards me. "Okay children, you two go and get some rest, I'll call you to the table once the dinner in ready". That was Sheila, she sounded as sweet as candyfloss.

Me and Jack walked to the bedroom that had our name printed on the door. We entered it and were astonished. I saw two enormous beds. One was a spiderman one and the other was simple with pink butterflies over it. The beds were humongous. Jack ran to his bed and lay down. After a little while, he closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. I lay down on my bed and slowly fell asleep aswel. I dream about the incident that took place, due ro which we lost our parents.

I find myself in my house, real house with mom, dad and Jack. "Mom, today I have a English assessment, could you please pray for me, so I can get good grades". "Sure baby, I will, may god help you achieve everything you need in life". "Thank you mum". (I hug her smoothly, not knowing, that may be the last hug im getting from my mother). I exit through my house door.

I'm in school having fun with my friends, not having an idea about the future incident that might take place.

Mum's at home getting lunch ready for my dad to take with him to work. She gives him the packed lunch and kisses him a good bye and wishes him good luck for the day. Dad leaves the house and gets into the car. He drives to work the way he normally does. *CRASH*...

Mum was in hospital whilst dad was lying in one of the hospital beds in the ward. She is crying wanting dad back desperately. She is talking to god asking for mercy. "Why, why did you do this to my husband. What mistake did he make that you punished him like this"? The doctor who was treating dad, came to mom and gave his answer..."Sorry Mrs Deans, but we couldn't save Mr Deans. We had tried our best, but all the effort went to vain".

That was the news mom couldn't handle, so she committed suicide in the hope that her soul will rest in peace with dad's. She left us. She left her 8 year old son with her 15 year old daughter, who couldnt even make her own breakfast on her own. How could she be expected to look after her little brother.
