Shes broken. Pain in her eyes. Wishing she could say goodbye. She dosnt have one speck of courage. Nor love in her life. A body with out a soul. A soul that needs a body. Lost in the light. shes a strong one. Still standing in this world of hatred. She will find her angel but yet she will have to be patient.

My eyes flutter open as I realise im still on the floor. Its hot and I feel damp. I touch my neck. Only to realize im just sweating. My leg hurts. I cant seem to get up. Suddenly Memories from last night flood my head. Getting pushed down the stairs by the cruel foster mother I happen to live with.
I crawl back up the stairs to my room. I make it to my room and notice its 1:00. I strip of my clothes and crawl into my bed and fall asleep.

Dreams from last night creep into my mind. My familys death all over again.
"No no" my mother screams before she gets shot in the head. My father rushes over to my mother sobbing. I just stand there in shock unable to move. "Why did I do that? why?!?!" I scream aloud. My sister trys to bring me back to realize my dad got shot in the back by the enemy. Everyone at the zoo was schocked, running around and screaming. I see my sister scream then give alittle smirk and fall to her knees with a perfect bullet hole centered in the middle of her forehead. I rember myself realize the shooter was right behind me. The gun pointed to my head . I elbow the shooter in the stomach take the gun from him and shoot him uncontrollably in the chest. Police arive and have to stop me with a tranquilizer filled with sleep medication. Im out for 2 days.
Why did I do that? Why did I not help my family. My beautiful sister Kelly. So young and precious. 10 the age of laughter and beginnings of dirty minds. And then there was me 13 and letting everyone I loved die right before my eyes.

I get up out of bed crying from the tragic moment in my life. I run to the Bathroom and vomit in the toleit.
" Erika darling! Wake up!!! Your going to be late. Get dressed hun todays a big big day!!!!" My step moms words dripping with sarcasm. But yes it was a "big big day!!!" My first day of my junior year of high school. 4 years since my family died and one month since my birthday. I stand up from the toleit and wipe my face with some concealer. I cover my black eye and some brusies on my arms. I put my fakest smile on slip into my jeans and plain shirt ready for the fakes, drama, jocks, and spit balls on the celing.

Ive forgoten about my limp as I walk to school. My neighbor hood was full of rich happy loving family. I watch a mom kiss a little boy goodbye as he hops on a schoolbus. I smile for the first time since I watched a girl throw a coin in a fountan and wished for a flying guina pig, one day two months ago. I giggle at the memory. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much. I look past me as I watch the bus go tords the local elementary school. Suddenly I feel a bag being placed over my head. I cant breathe and all I can see is darkness.
