My Heavenly Abyss

Chapter 1: Intro

My Heavenly Abyss: Chapter 1

------

The sound of sirens fill the room. A crowd of people pass by me, rushing a patient to the ambulance. I look around and figure out that I was in a familiar place. Wait, it was more than a familiar place. It was my school.

Middleton Lane Academy.

I rushed to see who the patient was. Trying to push other students away from the crowd, I catch a glimpse of the girl who was in the ambulance. She was wearing an MLA cheerleading uniform. The blue and white skirt with a top that had huge MLA letters on it was hard to miss. I moved a little closer, wanting to recognize the unfortunate girl who must've gotten into an accident during a pep rally of some sort. As I stepped closer to the vehicle, I had a better of view of the teen. When I tiptoed to see her face and figure out who she was...

I couldn't believe the sight in front of me. The girl who's in the ambulance is...

Me?

For a second there, I stepped back and let everything sink in. I took a second look at the girl to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. It was really me. But, how could this be? Why can I see myself in an ambulance? Am I dead or something? Panicking, I went back to the ambulance. I figured that I could just get inside and lay down inside my body, just like in the movies, then everything will be back to normal.

I went inside and sat beside my lifeless body. I closed my eyes, hoping this would work. But before I could even move a finger, a familiar voice echoed through the crowd.

"Erin? Darling? Stay with me, okay. You're stronger than this."

It was my mom. She had tears rolling down her face and her mascara was blotting. My father followed and went to talk to a doctor. I wanted them to know that I was fine. I was alive. I was here. Why couldn't she see me sitting next to my body?

I went near her, hugged her and told her that I was fine. But she still kept tugging on my other body. I could feel her hand on my shoulder but it wasn't really actually there. Instead, it was on the body of the girl in the ambulance who is actually me.

"MOM! It's me! I'm right beside you! I'm alive. Please. Why can't you see me?"

Nothing.

"Mom? I'm here beside you. Please notice me."

Nothing.

"I'M HERE. WHY CAN'T ANYONE SEE ME?!"

I could feel someone shaking me. I had tears running down my face then everything started to blur. I could faintly hear a slight beeping sound. I look around but it was all pitch black. The shaking got even worse. I was screaming for it to stop. I was slowly being eaten by the darkness surrounding me. I screamed, and screamed, and screamed until...

I woke up. I opened my eyes to see my sister, Haylin, with her hands on me, like she was trying to wake me up. Her face looked so worried and she was on the verge of tears. I hugged her so tight and I felt guilty for screaming and scaring her.

"Everything's fine, Hayl. I'm sorry I scared you. It was just one of dreams again. I'm sorry. Now go and get ready for school." I assured her that everything was fine. She went up, wiped her tears and left.

It was all a dream. I rubbed my eyes and stretched my arms when I saw my clock, it was 7:45. Oh shit. I can't be late again!

Rushing to the bathroom, I grab my clothes and toothbrush. Ahhh, it was just my typical Monday morning.

I've had dreams like this ever since the accident. I hate these dreams because they remind me of the tragedy that happened when I was in Middle School.

Hi. My name's Erin Brooks. I was head cheerleader and top of my class back in middle school. I was the popular kid and everyone loved to hate me. My life was perfect until the unexpected happened. July 25. I was in 8th grade and we had to do a pep rally. Being the head cheerleader, I was at the top of the pyramid. Sadly, I lost my balance and fell. I was badly injured and couldn't perform for a year. I was so devastated when they kicked me out of the team. And because of my absences during the weeks after the accident, I missed a lot of lessons so I was booted out of the honor roll. Sucks, I know.

What sucks even more is that my bestfriend, Caleb, betrayed me and spread dirty rumors about me. And to think I liked him more than just a friend. He had brown spiky hair and had a sense of humor. He was so nice and we've been bestfriends since kindergarten. But the pressure of peers took a toll on him so he left me to join with the cool kids. He made fun of me, threw Slushies at me and even called me names.

But the one thing he did that scarred me the most was the time when I came back from the hospital. I went to school and searched for him. He was sitting with all the jocks and cheerleaders. I approached him and when I hugged him, he just brushed off my hands and shouted, so loud that everyone could hear him, " GROSS. DON'T TOUCH ME. I DON'T WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND ANYMORE. BYE ERIN" and he just walked away. Everyone laughed at me. I was left there, crying. Friendless. Broken.

I was so ashamed to go back to school because from the hot popular chick I was before, I am now the loner girl who sits alone in a table near the trash can in the cafeteria. Talk about what an extreme life plot twist it was.

Anyways, ever since the incident, I've been trying to find a place for myself in this world. I'm now in high school and I have discovered a wonderful place to escape my peers. I go to clubs and dance the night away. I let the music sink through my bones and take away the pain of being alone. I could freely go out at night because my parents are always away on a business trip. One more thing that adds up to my brokenness.

I drink. I party. I go home. I sleep. I wake up late. I go to school. I try to learn something. I fail. I leave school. I sneak out.

That's my routine. I also have never fallen in love ever again. Nope. I don't wanna get heart broken again after what Caleb did to me. I haven't seen him in years since I moved to California. He wasn't the same anymore.

Enough about me. I'm going to be late for class. It's the second week of the school year and I've had 5 tardies already.

Oh well. Off to Castlebridge High School. After the day ends, I'll be in a club, partying the night away.

But then the unexpected happens..
