223....224....225...226...227...227...228

 

Freezing in front of the door,I looked again at the number on top ''228..''I whispered,reading the number before pushing the door open.

 

A loud gasp escaped my lips as I took a glance on what's inside.Three people were laying down on the three beds in the room.Each of them looked worse than the other.The woman's face was covered with bruises,the two boys each had a bruised cheek and a deep cut on their lips.One of them had a bandage covering most of his forehead.

 

''Mom..Nattie...Mattie...'' A whisper escaped my lips ,taking another glance at them before turning around,burying my face in my dad's chest.

 

It was just minutes later when a loud sound surrounded the place.It took me a while to realize it was the sound of my sobs,I could already feel my tears running non-stop down my cheeks and just the realization that I did actually see my mother and two brothers looking like that made me cry even more.

 

Stupid,dump,drunk fool..I thought and mentally cursed the drunken-driver with more and more nasty words.It was the middle of the night and just half an hour before my father had had this call telling him that my mother had been in a terrible accident and her and the boys are now in the hospital.

 

''Shh..Darling,they will..they will be fine..They have to be''Came my dad's voice and I sobbed even harder at his words.I couldn't imagine living without any of them,it won't be living if I had to live without the people I love.

Five years later,

"Ready?"I heard my brother say for the third time in a row.The only difference was that he was finally parking the car in front of our college.Turning my head to look at him,I gave him one of the biggest smiles I could manage and nodded.

"I think so"I replied not wanting him to comfort me yet again.Nathan or Nate,my older ,over protective brother,smiled at my response and got out of his BMW.

It was my first year of college.I had travelled all the way from Italy to here in Aspen just for college.My brother already attended the same college for three years already, but one of the best thing in this college is that it included a thousand department all together.

I took a deep breath,pushed my tall blonde hair away from my eyes and looked through the window to the buildings infront of me.

"Well this is it"Olivia,my best friend said in excitment.She had came with me on the same plane and we were both met by a smiling Nathan at the airport,he had came here before us by a week to meet some friends before starting his last year in college .

I turned to look at the back seat where she was already half jumping ,and grinned."yup" I said casually and watched her shake her head at my nervousness.Her red hair falling over her eyes like a waterfall.It was short but it sure fitted her.

I knew I shouldn't be nervous.After all I was one of the few people in high school that had a good grip on her life.But this..now..this was different.College was different,no more playing around,time to make my future count.
