Why were my hands shaking?
Why did breathing feel weird?
Why was everything spinning?
Why....why was my mom just laying on the ground?
Why did Gabe have a knife in his hand?
Why...no...why wasn't my mom breathing?
Why were there sirens?
Why did my throat feel like I've been yelling?
Why does the world feel like it stopped?
~~~~~~~~~~
I felt hollow. It was what I wanted to say when someone asked my how I felt. But I just said fine.
I felt like crying. It was what I wanted to say when someone asked how I was doing.
I felt like I could punch Gabe. It was what I wanted to say when someone asked me if I was alright.
I wanted to tell them to screw themselves. It was what I wanted to say when they told me they were sorry about my mother.
Couldn't they understand? I didn't want to talk to them, just throw me into the system. Isn't that what they do with someone with nowhere to go?
Why were they talking about this Bruce Wayne?
Nothing mattered anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter.
~~~~~~~~~~
Bruce Wayne was my uncle?
It didn't make sense. Mom always told me she was an only child...or at least that was how she implied it.
Why didn't she tell me?
Was I going to live with him now?
What did this all mean?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did I have to get use to cameras snapping in my face? It was the first thing I noticed.
Did it have to be a limo? It was the second thing I noticed.
Great, he has a butler. It was the third thing I noticed.
Too big of a house. It was the fourth thing I noticed.
An older 'sibling', great. It was the fifth thing I noticed.
What does he mean by work? I thought he had the day off. It was the sixth thing I noticed before I crashed on my bed.
This was suddenly my life, I didn't know what to do, how to act. It was all too much really. But it was my life now and I had to get use to being proper and fine. I don't know how I feel about it.
