A Shy Girl & A Wild Horse

Chapter 3~

I laid on the brown sofa doing my chemistry homework watching TV.

Very exciting I know.

My grandparents didn't answer the phone so I guess they just needed to get out once and a while.

I stuffed some chicken in my mouth and finished up my homework before shoving it all into my bag.

I just felt like remembering all of the happy stuff in my life. Which is not a lot if you you compare it to the sad and depressing things in my life. I remembered baking cookies with grandma and fixing a computer with grandpa. I remember mom. Oh how her and dad would smile sometimes, but never together. My father was a cruel man. Yes I know that I wasn't supposed to be here but that doesn't mean you have to leave! Just take my mom with you and put me up for adoption! Gees my happy moments turn to sad ones really fast.

I should work on that...

I heard my phone buzz on the table and I knew that Caitlin was going to ask me if she could stay over for tonight. She doesn't have a very good relationship with her parents and she sometimes just needs a place to lay low.

Caitlin- BECCA LOOK ON THE TV!

I turned to the news channel and I felt a wave of sadness wash over me.

The TV was showing pictures of a horrible accident that had happened. The taxi was almost unrecognizable. Pieces of metal were everywhere and there were two taxies but they were smash so much together that they looked like one. I saw a bag of groceries that had spilled off to the side of the scene. I even saw red stains - blood everywhere.

"A taxi had been speeding 30 mph over the speed limit and another taxi crashed into it. There were no survivors. The people were taken to a hospital, which is where they died, and there they did some investigation. There were two grandparents, and a drunk man, and they said that they had a granddaughter living with them, Becca Harley..." The lady on TV kept talking but I completely zoned out.

That poor girl! That would be horrible! The girl Becca Harley must be devastated.

Wait that name sounds familiar. 

Becca Harley...

Then everything hit me.

That was my name m...

I starred at the TV. My grandparents dead? I felt my shattered heart drop to the floor and the fork that I had in mouth fell onto the floor along with the plate which broke and pieces of glass were everywhere.

Great another perfectly fine plate broken!

I sat there starring at the TV when a wave of panic rushed over me.

This was real. They were gone. My grandparents had just been killed in a car crash.

Where would I go? I have no more family. Would I be put in a girls home?

All of these questions came rushing into my head and different emotions kept coming and going. I was a mess.

I started balling my eyes out and I stepped on the plate, by accident of course and the sharp pieces cut into the bottoms of my feet but I couldn't feel anything at the moment. I fell onto the couch and started to squeeze a brown pillow. I stopped crying and focused on breathing I rocked back and forth and continued to cry again.

I got up off the couch and grabbed the phone but I wasn't really sure what I was going to do with it. I dialed the numbered and prayed they would pick up.

"Hello?"

"Caitlin can you come over?"

"Yeah sure. I just say what happened on TV and I so sorry to hear that-."

"I know just get here as quick as you can."

"Alright be right there sweetie, just hang tight okay."

"Kk."

I felt my voice crack and start to go shaky.

My grandparents are dead. They are dead! I have no more family left!

I just dropped the phone and fell to the floor and cried. I cried and cried.

No more homemade cookies. No more comforting when I had a bad day. No more hugs or kisses. No more anything.

I kept crying until Caitlin burst through the doors and wrapped me in her arms.

We just sat there and cried. She just kept rubbing my back and telling me everything was going to okay.

How is it going to be okay? How is it going to be okay when your grandparents just died? How is it going to be okay when you have no where left to go? How could anything be okay?

I had done the same thing for three whole years.

Wake up...

Go to school...

Get bullied and punched and pushed...

Go home...

Do homework...

Eat dinner...

Go to bed...

Then it starts all over.

I had wished so bad for something new. I didn't want to be a miserable, shy, quiet, don't-want-to-do-anything kind of girl. I wanted to be original. So that's why no one knows about my horrible life, because I never tell them, because I didn't want them to feel sorry for me. I didn't want a lot of things that I have. People don't know how good of a life that they have until it's gone.

I didn't expect to be mourning over my grandparents death to be the change in my very simple scheduled.

In fact I had no idea that that would be the changed that I had wished for.

I had wished for a change and I got it. But I didn't want it to be like this.

But like I had said before, you don't always get things the EXACT way you want them.
