Downfall

Chapter One: Just The Beginning

As the sun shone down of her face, Brielle careful got out of bed. Her feet touched the cream colored carpet. Rushing out of her room she grabbed her phone and jogged down the stairs to see her widow mother's smiling face."Brielle, I hope you don't mind, I'm leaving early today, for a meeting.". Her mother was a lawyer, so it was natural that she was always busy. Brielle wasn't quick to hesitate, and nodded. Peeking her head out the window, she frowned."Mother, don't see the weather outside? It's too dangerous to drive in this weather! You should wait for the weather to slow down.". Brielle's mother narrowed her eyebrows. "You know this is a meeting. You can not "wait" for the weather, Brielle.".Brielle began"Mother, I am trying to help! Don't you understand! I'm not worried about me, I'm worried about you! How is it hard?" She lashed out and stormed into the kitchen. Brielle was always an obedient child, but ever since she moved into Oak Cut High, she was acting strange. Her mother briefly scolded her and headed out the door. Brielle quickly grabbed toast and spread some jam on.  The moment she headed out the door she began to munch on her toast. Pressing her cup to her lips, she began to drink her juice as she walked to school. She was still angry at her mother, for not understanding. Brielle was always trying to help her, and now, her mother was angry at her? Lost in her own thoughts, she didn't realize her boyfriend, Alex, was waiting for her. They usually walked together, on the way to school. After walking for a few more minutes, they reached the school and headed to their locker. But soon after that her phone rang....it was her mother. Quickly heading to the bathroom, she swiped the phone out of her purse and began to speak on the phone. "Hello?", she began. "Hello,". The voice wasn't her mothers..." is this Mrs. Isabelle Johansenn's daughter?"
