Chapter 1: Family

Sometimes, I wondered if I was seeing the same thing through my eyes that the rest of the world was through theirs. Maybe there was a glitch in my brain.. 

Ok Alexa, snap back to reality.

Soon, school starts back up and we all have to go through that living, crawling, miserable reality. Most people would be cramming their heads with old news from last year or trying to choose someone to show up with. But me, I'm sitting here, in my room, just staring, thinking, breathing. But then, I heard a voice.

"Alexa, come down and get your dinner!" Mom, yells. I walk downstairs and into the dinning room to the smell or seasoned steak. I sit across from my mother who is happily eating her steak. "Mom, this is really good!" I mentioned. She smiled and held up her thumb. We laughed and continued eating.

I look above the fireplace to the mantel and see the old, dusty picture of a young girl, a woman, a younger boy, and a man. Specifically, my family. The young girl being me when I was 10 or so. The older woman being my mother, who was probably 30-ish, now 37. The younger boy being my lovely, adorable brother. He died when he was 9 and when I was 12. He got into a misunderstanding by mistaking a real gun for a fake one. Then, their was my dad. The man who had left us when my brother, Brandon, died. The heartless jerk left without warning. I didn't realize I was crying until a teardrop hit my hand. I wiped away the tears and finished eating my food.
