Chapter One
In one split second, my life changed forever. In one split second, i lost my old life. I'm not dead though, but I'm not alive. My name is Arrabella. I have long brown hair and hazel eyes. Or they used to be that color. I wont look in the mirror cause ever since the change i don't want to know what i look like. I could be a monster, a zombie, or nothing. I just don't want to know. I'm guessing you are wondering what happened to me and why I have changed. But in order for me to tell you what happened, I have to start from the beginning…
BANG! My head was pounding and i was on the cold floor. I fell out of my bed again. Turns out, the floor was more comfortable than my bed. I slept on a wooden platform with a little comforter, i had my sheet as my blanket. Just for now though. My brother, Alick, and I just moved in a few days ago. My brother was 22 and i was 17. Our parents died in a car crash last week, they were drunk driving. Alick and I were not surprised about this crash because our parents have been alcoholics for years and they went to rehab and came back the same. Drinking every second of the day. So him and I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later. We now lived in Garrison Texas. I miss my old friends back home in California, but at least here i could get a fresh start. My parents wouldn't care what happened to Alick and I.
I wont start school until tomorrow, Alick is giving me a day to take it all in. He assumes that I'm “devastated” by mom and dad dying when to be honest, I didn't give a crap about them in the first place. I wanted to start school today but i cant. I enjoyed school. Back at my old school I got strait A’s and was MVP of our school swim team, Last year i made it to Nationals and won Third place. I didn't do my best that day. I did tons of sports back in my old town. I played; soccer, softball, swim, and i was on the volleyball team. Man i wish i didn't have to move but i just have to get over it.
Alick got home a little after 9:00 pm. from his new job in some law office. He sat down his black work jacket and ruffled his dark brown hair around till he got all of the hair gel out of it. He had short hair but still managed to have a quiff in the front. He was taller than me by half a foot, Alick was 6”2. I had made up some steak on the grill and set the table right when Alick had just got home. He sat down and chowed down into his steak. “So sis,” He started to speak with his mouth full, “I rented a couple of movies down by the general store if you wanted to watch some tonight just until we get the cable set up.”
“Yeah thanks and i brought the video games.” I replied.
“After dinner do you want to play COD?” He was still talking with his mouth full.”
I took the fork out of my mouth and pointed it at him and said, “your on big brother.”
“I'm gonna kick your butt.” We both started laughing and trying not to choke on our food while doing it. I guess you could say Alick and I were pretty close. He technically raised me when we were younger and i am grateful for that. He did a good job at it. We have our little argument's here and there but everything always ends well.
After dinner we played video games for a while until Alick told me i should be getting to bed because of school tomorrow and he didn't want me to wake up late on my first day. I fell asleep on the couch though cause there was no way i wanted to sleep on wood, again.
