The Abandoned (currently on hold)

Chapter Two

I open my eyes and I come to the realization that it was just a dream...a really bad dream. I've had this dream (nightmare) ever since my mom abandoned me. I don't remember what happened because I was just 10 years old.

I am 15 now. I guess it's only been 5 years, but I have a horrible memory! The only thing I remember was waking up to a strangers face in a house that I had never seen before. The stranger explained about my mom leaving me and that she was going to take care of me as if I were her own.

She was a very kind and gentle woman. I enjoyed being in her company and talking to her. She didn't have a husband or kids, so she was alone just like me. We had so much in common. Our initials were even the same. Her name being Lori Taylor and mine being Lisa Turner.

Lori always cared for me and made sure I had everything I needed. The only downside to her was that she never talked much about how or why my mother left. She said that one day everything will become clear to me. I didn't know what she meant by that and I was very curious. I even looked through her journal one day to see if I could find anything but there was nothing. Why won't she tell me what happened? What is she hiding from me?

My thoughts came to a halt as I heard Lori opening my room door. "Hey, how did you sleep?" She asked.

"Fine, I guess, but I still keep having the same dream as before." Lori wasn't only like a mother to me, she was also my best friend. She was someone that I could trust.

"How about we get you some breakfast?" She asked and I could see that she was trying to change the subject. For some strange reason, she always seemed jumpy when I talked to her about my dream. I knew this had something to do with what she was hiding, but what could it be?

We walked silently down the stairs and into the kitchen. She prepared two bowls of cocoa pebbles and set them on the table. I sat down and immediately started eating. I had failed to notice how hungry I was. I hadn't ate dinner last night, so I was starved!

When we finished breakfast, Lori left to the store to get groceries. I went back upstairs to get dressed for school. I settled for some black sweats and a purple shirt. I wasn't exactly the type of girl who cared too much about their appearance. I preferred to be comfortable, which is why I always dressed in loose clothes.

I ran my brush through my hair and then grabbed my bag. I was walking to the bus stop when I hear a strange voice call my name. I turned around and saw that it was the new kid in school. How did he know my name? And what did he want from me? I didn't exactly mind that he wanted to talk to me because he was HOT, but I was curious as to why he would want to talk to me. There are prettier girls in school than me, but he always seemed to stare at ME!

He had a six-pack, which he showed off by wearing tight shirts, and he had the most perfectest face that I have ever seen. I have caught him staring at me plenty of times but I never knew why. I have to admit that it felt good being noticed by him. It brought butterflies to my stomach when I thought of him, which I found myself doing ALOT of. I didn't even know him that well and I had never talked to him before, so why did I feel a type of connection with him?

My thoughts were cut off by his sexy voice. "Hey...ummm...you're Lisa, right?"

I felt my stomach do a flip and I felt all tingly. He was really talking to me! This was making me feel dizzy and I was pretty sure that I would pass out any minute. How can a guy I just met make me feel so...? I'm not even sure what I'm feeling!

He stepped closer to me. "Are you okay?" He asked, and with that I felt my eyes begin to blur. What was happening to me? I felt his arm go around me, but that was all. After that everything became dark. Did i seriously just pass out?
