The Forgotten Minds

A Remembered Mind

I was standing in front of my now light up closet scanning through the endless amount of black clothing that was within it. I never was good with selecting outfits, I kind of just through something on and hoped for the best. I can't call Summer, she's at her aunts wedding probably praying to leave every second she's there. She as been on many dates like the one im going on with Luke so I bet she would know exactly what to wear.

I ended up laying out an outfit for the date. It was a black dress that had lace over the top of my shoulders and it formed a perfect sweetheart neck line, it flared out at the bottom stopping at my knees coupled with gold arrow shaped earrings and a gold ring. The shoes I picked out black chunky high heel boots.

I was out to put on the final outfit I put together until I hear my ringtone blaring from my phone on my bedside table. I look at the caller ID and it reads 'Kayla'. I pick up my phone and place it on my wet ear from the shower. "Hello?"

"H-hey" she spoke in a voice that sounds as if it's breaking like glass.

"What's wrong?" My previous mood is brought to a hault and is now invaded by worry, she sounds like she's crying.

"Nothing, I just need to ask you something, can I crash at your place for the night?" she mumbled in a hushed voice.

"are you sure you're ok because I ca-stop! i'm fine, i'm ok stop worrying!"she interupted now speaking in a weird whisper yell. "ok ok i'll stop asking, and yes you can stay the night. Come when ever you need too " my worry is still there.

"I-I need to come now if that's ok" her voice sounds as fragile as

She hung up as if she in a hurry, i wonder what's up with her. She has so many secrets she constantly is making sure that their hidden within the shadows.

I wait for her, in the meantime I brush my teeth, take a shower, blow dry my matted red hair and the next thing I know I hear knocking on my front door. I tightly wrapped a porcelain white towel around me and run down the stairs to reach the front door.

Instead of being greeted with Kayla's face i'm shown someone's I wasn't expecting to see.

Charlie's.

"Oh mate, do u greet all your guests naked?"

I looked down at myself then looked back at him. "Sorry, I was expecting someone else" I gave away a quick lope sided smile.

"Who are you expecting? You're boyfriend or something" He said jokingly. I giggiled and then opened the door a little wider as a sign to let him in. He walked into the small apartment sized place I lived in as I closed the door behind him.

"I don't even have a boyfriend dummy" I joked.

"Thanks for calling me a dummy, anyways I want to ask you something but you probably go put some clothes on first" he giggled.

"Yeah i'll be right back" I ran up stairs and into to my bedroom. I through on pair of black fuzzy shorts and a over-sized batman t-shirt. I ran back down stairs no longer in a towel only. Charlie was looking at the only part of this house that shows anything of or about my family-the picture wall.

It's a wall covered in family pictures back when I was a young blissful child, back when my dad was here and my mom rarely drank. My sister was happy with everyone and was willingly here, a member of our family. That's all down the drain, it all went into a endless pit of anger and sadness.

"So this is your family, i've never met any or your family" he was still scanning the wall with pictures of people who are now broken. "My family is full of complete and ignorant assholes. You're lucky you haven't met them yet"
