Chapter 2

"Come on ma I really want go" Mabel's mom promised she was going to take her to the mall this Tuesday but she was too busy taking care of her newborn baby "For the last time Mabel I'm too busy taking care of your brother I can't!" Mabel frowned poking her bottom lip. She groaned when an ear piercing scream erupted. Jessica (Mabel's mom) rocked her son Alex hoping that he would quiet down. Mabel laid her back against the brown leather car seat and took a glance at her 12 year old sister Laura who she secretly envied. Mabel stared at Laura golden curls that reached down her waist and her eyes which were the color of bright almond. Mabel wished she looked like her sister as she played with her silver heart shaped locket her parents got her for her 15th birthday. "Dad please" Mabel begged in hope that her father would help convince her mom. John sighed and looked at Jessica with eyes full of ancient love, he placed his tanned hand on Jessica's light ones. "Come on Jessica ten minutes it won't take too long" Jessica sigh and rubbed her temples while holding her son with the other "Fine she mumbled "Yes!' Mabel did a fist bump and jumped excitedly on her seat while Laura rolled her eyes. Little did Mabel know she would soon regret forcing her parents.

There was suddenly a truck running towards them , driving in an illegal speed. John gripped the steering wheel and ducked causing the car to do a double back flip. Mabel heard muffling cried and bone chilling screams as the car landed over the sidewalk.She gasps as her head hit against the drivers seat. Everything was quiet all of a sudden Mabel could only hear her tiny gasps as she felt something cold dripping down beneath her scalp. She painfully pulled her bruised arm and touched the cold liquid wincing at the contact. Mabel pulled her hand away from her scalp and saw blood slowly sliding down her pale quivering fingers tips. Mabel caught something in the corner of her eyes and slowly lifts her head and saw her parents lying lifeLesly on there seat. "Mom? dad?" Mabel croaked and felt her eyes swelling realizing the horrible truth. Her parents are dead. No she thought they can't leave me like this not now. She saw her baby brother who she hated was dead..her sister was dead...her parents was dead...she was all alone now. Mabel chocked another sob and felt cool tears sliding down her cheeks. Before Mabel passed out her heard the sound of sirens calling towards her.

Mabel gasp jumping up from her bed and gripped her now soaking wet pillow and held it against her pumping chest. Ever since the accident Mabel couldn't stop having what she would call her episodes. It was destroying her physically and emotionally that she started hating sleeping.  No one knows except her friend Tori who she missed dearly that's when Mabel realize she was in need to call Tori. She climb out of her duvet and grabbed her phone that was lying on her counter. She pressed the dial and waited impatiently and tapping her foot as the call began beeping. "Hey this is Tori I'm not here right now leave a message under the beep" Mabel sigh "hey it's Mabel um call me when you get this" Mabel said and disconnect the call. She lazily threw her phone on her bed and hopped her way to the bathroom. Mabel stripped and climbed in her tub. The warm water collided on her cold tan skin causing a wave of relaxing pleasure. She let out a relaxing sigh as she felt her bones loosing, she grab her watermelon scented shampoo and squeezed it against her palm. She scrubbed against her scalp and when she was done Mabel wrapped a pink fluffy towel around her tiny waist.

After five minutes Mabel changed into her sweatpants and tank top while tying her blond hair in a messy bun. Mabel saw that it was still dark outside and decided that she didn't want to sleep again dreading the thought of having one of her episodes. She made her way to the kitchen and grabbed her favorite pare of chips and watched The Notebook an till she peacefully fell into a dreamless sleep.
