Dreaming of a Sunrise

Chapter 2

-6 weeks later-

For the past few weeks, my life has turned upside down. Every day I was getting told off by Lizzie's "groupies". I can't believe I once called her my best friend. I can't believe I was being blamed for her stupid mistake, I didn't even know about it until I heard her loud mouth say it. I hated her.

The bell rang and I stood up placing my backpack on my shoulder. I pulled up the hood to my jacket and shoved my hands in my pockets, it was raining... great.

The school floors outside were flooding and I cut through the water like a knife. The fierce thunder rolled in the sky and I didn't even flinch. I was always scared of thunder, today- well, I didn't care.

The lighting lit up the dark grey sky as I got into my truck and tried to start it. It wouldn't start. Great. I tried again. Again. Again. I flung my head to the steering wheel and let the horn blow. I felt the truck shake and I tried once more.... it jumped and purred. Ugh.

I drove home freezing and went upstairs and got into the shower. I stood there for what seemed like hours, just thinking about life... my life. Who cared about me anymore anyway? Nobody did. Sure mom and dad do but they are never home. I'm sure they wont miss me if I decided to disappear...

A bolt of lightning struck the house and the power went out. Thank god it didn't electrocute me. I carefully felt my way out of the shower and got a dark thought into my head.

I want to end it all.

I ran downstairs still naked, no one was home anyway. I went to my dads man-cave and smiled a little at all the guns just waiting to be used collecting dust on the wall. What's the harm in using one?

I picked up a little pistol and climbed back upstairs to my bedroom. I put it on the bed and went over to my record player. I looked at all of my albums and I chose one, carefully placing it on the record player. It was Elvis... Are You Lonesome Tonight.

Are you lonesome tonight? Do you miss me tonight?

Are you sorry we drifted apart?

Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day?

When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?

I sat down on my bed still soaking wet and listened, looking at the gun and kept thinking.

Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?

Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?

Is your heart filled with pain? Shall I come back again?

Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight

His voice set me into a trance. Talking his heart away... he began to sing again ...

Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there

With emptiness all around

And if you won't come back to me

Then they can bring the curtain down

Is your heart filled with pain? Shall I come back again?

Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight

I picked up the gun and held it to my head watching the record player slowly stop. A tear trickled down my cheek thinking about what my life used to be like... what it could of been...

I pulled down the release and slid my finger onto the trigger and held it there for a moment.

I fainted and I heard the voice of my mom, "Ale?! Ale!" She seemed so far away from where I was... her voice was only a whisper.
