The Reality of a Dream

Violetta Bree

Hello fellow people, my name is Violetta Bree. I prefer Violet if you don't mind. I am currently 15 and I love to read. People call me a bookworm which I don't deny, it's true. I have red hair, green eyes, I am 6.4", and I'm slim and curvy (surprisingly). I have two older brothers. The oldest one is Sebastian, he is 19. My other brother is 17, Alexander ( I call him Alex). Sebastian is very serious about getting good grades, a bit like me but a bit more. He's serious and mature, unlike Alex. Alex is the "go with the flow" kind of guy. He often studies and is nothing like Sebastian. He's hilarious, a prankster, and, like Sebastian, I dont always see him at home, along with my parents. My moms name is Crystal Bree along with my father, Michael Bree. I almost never see them at home (as I said before), they say they are very busy and need to stay at work. I don't mind being alone however, strange things often happen. Like for example, one time when I was 10, I was walking home with Sebastian, who at the time was 14. I remember some weird dressed guys following us from behind. Sebastian told me to run home immediately and I didn't question him and ran. I was really worried about him while running. "What if he got hurt?" or "Is he okay?". By the time he got home I was in tears. It was midnight and I stayed up, waiting for him. He hugged me and promised to never leave my side. He didn't really keep his promise but, as long as he's alright, I'm happy. My parent's always look like in any second we might get robbed. They sit at the edge of their seats, as if preparing to get up in any minute along with my brothers, and they make sure I'm at home and lock the doors. I sometimes ask Alexander if something's wrong but he just says they want me to be safe. Anyways, today was a school day (ugh) and it's 6:05. Its finally Friday (yay) and its pretty warm outside. I put on a green flannel, skinny black jeans, combat boots, and a black sweater. I grab my bookbag and head downstairs where I saw Alexander, who was sitting, eating an Apple. "Good morning, Violet" he said, smiling.
"Good morning, Alex" I say, heading over towards him. I grabbed a granola bar and saw Alexander getting ready to go. "Ready?" Alex asks. "Yep, let's go" I say, walking towards the door.

*DING*
Finally, I thought. I got up from my desk and went out the door. I go to my locker and take my books, phone, and sweater. I turned on my phone and saw a text from Alexander.
"Sorry, Violet but I can't walk home with you today, I had to go to a friends house. Walk home safe and make sure the doors are locked.
Love you" -Alex.
I sighed and texted back "ok". I put my sweater on and put my bookbag back on and headed towards the exit.
When I got close to my house, I felt someone following me. I walked faster, hoping no one was following me. I felt someone behind and I turned around. I gasped. They were the same guys from 5 years ago.
