From a different perspective

Unnoticed (Mon)

I sat in the corner of the carpark shelter, as a best attempt to seem invisible. After Sven and the other girl had definitely gone, I had pulled over the hoody, which I had with me because it was cold in the morning, and had managed to arrange my hair that the uncoloured hair covered the whole left side of my face. Then I tied up the rest of my hair just in a simple low pony and put the hoody on over my head covering as much of my face as possible. When I had done that, and I was satisfied with how well it hide my face, I made my way to the bottom carpark so I would have to deal with as little people as possible. But in the back of my mind, I knew the worst one's I'd have to deal with are the ones that aren't preventable.

I sat with my earbuds in, trying to control my overflowing emotions. I sat on my own for a good fifteen minutes, but slowly more and more people joined the picture. Luckily for me, though, they all simply acknowledged my presence then went on with their lives as if I wasn't even there. When I heard my brother's voice coming from behind me, I tensed up and panicked , but when he reacted the same as everyone else, I cooled down a bit. Emma, who was obviously with Nick, had a bit of a different reaction. She saw me and looked at me for a while. I kept my hair over my face and turned to look the other way. But it wasn't long before she, too, went on with her life.

When James and Nigel finally came down, Emma got up to go but Nick stopped her by saying, "We still need Robin."

"She's here." She said not stopping.

"If she would be here, Sven would too. And don't see ether one of them." At this Emma stopped and turned around, not looking very happy.

"The same could be said about you and me. And I can't believe you can't even recognise your own sister." Nick didn't know how to react to this and just stayed silent. Tears started spilling over my cheeks again, I don't know why.

"Come on Robin, let's go." She said looking right at me. I very slowly got to my feet and walked over to where Emma was waiting patiently. Nick stared with an open mouth when he realized it was me. Emma put an arm around me and walked me to the car, I was so glad that she knew it wouldn't be a good idea to ask me what was wrong. My tears dried up again just before we got to the car.

Only when I was in the car did Nick start moving. Emma and I sat in the boot, them James sat in the front, followed by Nigel in the back, and last Nick also in the back. He put his bags in then looked at me. I did my best not to look at him so I looked at all the other people who were waiting in the shelter. Not a good place to look.

Sven came around the corner, into the shelter, looking quite worried and confused. Just at the sight of him, everything came flooding back but more clear than it was before. I must have started crying again because Sven turned to look in the direction I was staring. When he spotted Sven, he left the car and started marching back to the shelter. Sven looked quite scared when he say Nick walking towards him. He kept walking until he was right in front of Sven. He asked something and Sven answered the question whilst shaking his head and looking very confused, worried and scared. They were too far away to hear what they were saying so I'm just guessing from body language and facial expressions. This was repeated a few times before Nick finally turned around and marched back to the car.
