FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN ART CALSS
I usually love art class but I still can't stop thinking about what's going to happen with my parents. Ciaran is in my art class but I haven't even looked at him once and Mrs Cooper keeps giving me strange looks because I'm not working on my project. Then Mrs Cooper stands up to address the class, "alright everyone start packing up and don't forget we will continue this next Monday, everyone have a good weekend". Shortly after she says this the bell rings and everyone in the class hurries off to catch a bus or meet their friends but I just walk out slowly still lost in thought. As I'm walking to my locker I hear a gentle voice calling out, "Hey, wait up", I just stare with a blank face "its Chelsea right, anyway are you okay I mean I couldn't help but to notice you seemed a little sad in art class today" Ciaran says to me " I'm fine and I don't really want to talk about it" I reply. "Well at least let me walk you home" "are you sure" I say "yeah. No biggy, I only live across the road" He says to me.
20 MINUTES LATER
As we walked home he didn't say much to me. when we got to my drive way he simply looked at me and sweetly smiled as he said "well here we are, see you later" I watched as he walked up his driveway and opened the door only to be hugged by his little sister. "That's so sweet" I say to myself. Oddly as I enter through the door of my house I here nothing. No fighting, not even talking. It doesn't make any sense. I walk into my parents bedroom and what I see shocks me. I see my mum on the bed lying in a pool of her own blood. "MUM" I scream as I burst into tears. "No, mummy get up please" I lay down next to her and hug her tightly "mum" I say softer this time. Suddenly I hear knocking on the door, someone must have heard me screaming. I walked to the door and opened it. It was Ciaran and his mum, "Honey are you okay, we heard you screaming" Ciaran's mum said with a shocked look on her face. "it's my mum, sh...she.." I can't even finish my sentence, I just really don't want to believe it. Ciaran's mum steps in the door and looks around the corner, she obviously saw my mum because she instantly ran back over to her house probably to call an ambulance. I just stand there staring at Ciaran, still bawling my eyes out. Suddenly he leans in and hugs me, at first it feels strange but then I pull him tighter. I open my eyes and realise Ciaran's little sister staring at me from her bedroom window, I try not to look sad just for a moment so I do not worry her.
In a few minutes the ambulance and police had arrived and so had Milly and her Mum. Milly just runs at me and hugs me, "its going to be alright" she says trying to make me feel better but I don't believe her. After a while the police come to a conclusion that my mum and my dad where fighting and my dad must have gone out of control and hit her, when he realized he had killed her he must have run away in fear of being arrested and going to jail. I hate my dad, he killed my mum and I'll never forgive him for that. It was arranged for me to stay at Milly's house until my auntie can move up from Perth to stay with me.
THREE DAYS LATER AT SCHOOL
As I'm putting my books away and getting my bag from my locker after fourth period I here some bitchy girls whispering to each other, "hey, that's that weird girl who lost her mum" one of them says, then I here another one "yeah, what's the bet that she killed her". I stand up and walk over to them, "I DID NOT KILL MY MUM" I say, my eyes filled with fury. " geez, it was just a joke calm down" one of them says. I slowly lift my arm and clench my fist, I'm ready to hit them when... "Chelsea Connors!" the principle yells "I hope you are not about to hit her", I just watch the girls run away as I lower my hand. I look to my right and notice That Ciaran was watching the whole time, a tear falls from my eye as I run away. "Hey Chelsea, wait up" Ciaran says. "What do you want" I say as more tears run down the side of my face and drip from my chin. Ciaran hands me a tissue as he says " I just wanted to let you know that if you need anyone to talk to, I'm here" I start to walk away but Ciaran says something again "wait, give me your phone" "why" I say sounding confused, "so I can put my number in it" he says as he shows a slight smile "why would you want to do that" I say still confused "so you can text me" his slight smile turns into a full one. I let him type his number into my phone and then I get in Milly's car where her and her mum have been waiting for me. As we are driving I feel a slight bit of happiness somewhere inside me although I don't know why.
