Flashback~ March 14, 2007  Mound Bank California Hosiptal

The doctor came out of my mothers hospital room

" is mama okay?" I asked the doctor

But the doctor ignored me

" Ms. Ashway." The doctor said looking at my Auntie Lilian

" I'm so sorry.."

My auntie broke down crying

" What's going on?" I asked confused

" Autumn, your mother is...Dee-ad." Lilian quivered

That was the day it all went down hill

~ End of flashback
" Autumn!" Lilian shouted

" Huh?"

" The summer is almost over. Why don't you go hang out with your friend Kelsey?" She asked

" Lilian, Kelsey stopped talking to me along time ago. " I told her irritated

" Oh , what about India she was a lovely lady!" Lilian exclaimed

" India hangs out with....the po..., I just don't talk to India anymore." I was about to say ' the populars ' but Lilian would question me. She would be confused onto what ' the populars' were and I didn't want to get into detail.

" Ok? So today will just be a relaxing day?" She smiled

" I guess." I say

I've been sad ever since my dad left me and my mom when I was 5. It just got worse when my mother died. My mom was a  wonderful, strong, kind , and gorgeous woman. I've always idolize my mother. I loved her very dearly.

When she died. The life was completely drained out of my eyes. I was sad when my dad left. But now I'm depressed, have been since the day she died.

I also have a little sister named Violet, I have to stay strong for her. I can't let her see me cry.
I would risk my life for Violet. I would do anything for her.

" Lilian I'm going to go out for a walk.." I called out to her
No response. I just decided to go. I slipped on my sandals and went out the door. The hot air of the Californian Summer hit me hard. I suddenly bumped into something.
" Oh, I'm so-so sorry!" I said scared. Afraid that it was one of my bullies from school. Then I heard a giggle.

" It's alright, it was my fault anyways. Nice to meet you I'm Alice. "
I was taken a back at the nice tone she had with me. I wasn't used to people being nice to me.

 I wasn't used to people being nice to me

" Oh, nice to meet you too." I say warily

" Are you new around here?" I ask her gently

" Yeah, me and my adoptive family came here for a fresh start from Canada." She says excitedly

" Oh that's cool, so you said you were adopted? I don't mean to pry , but what happened to your parents?" I ask her

" My mom died in a rou.. In a attack . My dad he died shortly after my mom died." She explains quickly like she's trying to cover up something. I get a strange vibe around her..

" Oh, I'm sorry. My mom died when I was 10."

" No , it's okay. It was awhile back." Alice smiles at me

" Hey are you going to San Fransisco Bay Highschool this year?" Alice asks

" Yeah..."

" Anyways, have you always lived here?" She asked

" uh - I yes and no. I moved away when I was younger after something tragic happened. I moved back couple weeks ago."

" Oh ...cool. " she trailed off
I could tell she was the ditsy type.

" We should totally exchange phone numbers!" She exclaims

I just stood there for awhile staring at her. Is she serious?

I hesitated
" Uh, yep my number is __________"

Ok so I was going to make a longer chapter but I didn't know what else to put in this chapter. I would like to know if you guys want me to continue because I'm not going to continue if no one wants me to so..leave a comment telling me what you think.
