"Okay, Laury, that concludes this session. See you next week!" Says my therapist.
"Alright, bye... " I tell her, my voice trailing off with my thoughts. My therapist's name is Cindy. I get up and walk to my car. Putting on my seatbelt, I start to think, I'm getting ahead of myself.
My name is Laurann Smith, but I go by Laury. I just turned 16 last month. I live with my mom, Emily, she's 36 years old. My mother is also 5 months pregnant with twins girls who her and my dad decided to name Cathrine and Laretta. I live also with my older brother Logan who's 17, and my little sisterAnna Lee who is 9 years of age. My dad, Jackson Smith, died 3 months ago in a robbery. He was in the bank when 5 men busted through the door, robbed the bank, and murdered my dad along with one of the female bank tellers, who's name we later learned was Penelope Seinfeld.
I arrived home 25 minutes later. My bedroom is in the basement and I walked straight there.
I'm home alone, the rest of my family went out of town for the day. Honestly, I'm surprised my mom let me be alone after what happened last time, but my neighbor is set to call over and check up on me every hour, and that is probably why my mother let me be alone. When I was home alone last, I had taken copious amounts of pills in an attempt to commit suicide. Obviously, it didn't really work.
I put all my school books away and walk over to my dresser, my dresser is old, it's a pale peach color with chewed up sides from my cat, Able. Sitting on my dresser is the CD player my dad got me before he passes, it's in fairly good shape. I put in the CD my brother burned for me, it is all my favorite artists. I believe I was born in the wrong era, I enjoy songs by Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, all the oldies like that... My bedroom walls are painted a dark blue with multiple posters. My posters include that of Black Veil Brides, My Chemical Romance, Pierce The Veil, Motionless In White, Metallica, and many more!
I run upstairs to the kitchen to do the dishes for my mom, as a surprise so when she gets home she can relax.
As I was drying my hands, I hear Able's paws pitter-pattering up the stairs. He tends to live under my bed, we could never figure out why, I suppose he is just very cozy down there. I flick my head in the direction of the door, someone is here. I walk over to the door and look out the peep hole and see that it's Amy, my best friend. I let her in, swinging the door open with one swift motion.
"LAURS!" She has been calling me that since 7th grade. "How did the appointment go?" She means my therapy. She asked me that as we walk into the living room and sit on our black leather couch..
"It was alright, we didn't really accomplish anything major. The same old same old... " I start trailing off with my voice again... Amy is a beautiful girl, captain of the cheer team, icy blue eyes that could stare into my soul. She has waist-long blonde hair, she's a few inches taller than me. Amy is the polar opposite of me. She is extremely popular, I have 2 friends max. Looks wise, she is much better looking, I have shoulder length red hair and I'm very short for my age. I am of mixed race, my mother is white, my father black. I have these large brown eyes.
"One step at a time, hun. You WILL get through this. " Amy tells me, pulling me out of my thoughts. She means we'll, but she doesn't completely understand. And I am extremely glad she doesn't because what happened to me is not something anybody should experience. When I was 15 years old, I was raped by my uncle, George... It took me one month to tell my mom about it. Then we took him to court, where we underwent trial and he was thankfully sentenced to 20 Years.
