Upside Down

Flashback

*Flashback*

"Get up Abby, you'll be late" My mum yells in order to wake me up.

 "Give my five more minutes mum" I'm begging her with my raspy, sleepy voice.

"No, get up now! You'll be late and I bet you almost forgot what day it is toady, didn't you?" she says and i immediately get up! Oh damn, she's right. It's the school photo shoot day and I have to get ready really fast or I'm gonna end up arriving late! I miserably stand up and head to my closet to find something cute and decent to wear.

School is about to end and summer is taking its place, so I end up wearing a charming white t-shirt with some short jeans. I’m in love with my shoes! I picked my favourite pair of low high heels. I was terrified when Ι saw myself on the bathroom! My hair looked gross and untangled so Ι took the brush and started brushing it.

 I grab my straightener and start straightening my yellowish-brown hair. After that, I wash my pale face, brush my teeth and put some make up on. God literally blessed me today as my mascara is so on point. Before I leave the bathroom I sprayed myself with my vanilla flavour fragrance.

 "Good Morning mum" I say as I reach the kitchen.

 "Oh God, you look gorgeous" says my mum and I immediately thank her. "Come on, let's take a picture before you go to school" she says. To be honest, I really don't feel like taking a picture with her but since I'm well dressed and look decent, I'm going to do it. I brought my Nikon camera and took a picture when we both said "Cheeese".

 "Whoa, what's going on here ladies" Dad's playing around as he enters in the kitchen as well.

 "Girly stuff" mum responds while turning to the kitchen to continue cooking breakfast.

 "Oh, can I somehow be filled in this" my dad’s answer is in a funny tone and that makes me feel glad that I have such a great family. As I turn around to run up to him and hug him for a good morning, my eyes fall on the cute, young little boy who’s entering the kitchen rubbing his eyes.

 “mhm.. What’s going on..” says Rojer with a sleepy and raspy voice that a 5-year-old can possibly have. His teddy bear is crawling on the floor as he walks.

 “Nothing to worry about sweetie!” my mum turn to face him and I can’t help but smile to the small idiot brother I have for his ability to be way cuter than he should. I pass by my father, and get closer to Rojer.

 “Come on, there’s nothing here for you to see. Let’s take you back to bed” I grab Rojer by his teddy-free hand and lead him to his room. “Grab your teddy-bear on your lap, it shouldn’t touch the floor”. He grumbles but does as I say and I pick him up just to place him on his bed.

 “I really don’t wanna sleep again” he complains once more, but I ignore it and kiss him on his forehead running playfully my fingers through his messy and greasy hair. He really needs a bath, his hair is worse than I thought.

 “You actually need to sleep more time.”

 “No, I want to play”

 “Well, you will play, but not now. Game time is after you wake up!” he stares at me with his big brown eyes and he turns around to sleep. I leave the room, leaving his door half open.

 “What is smelling so nice?” I point out as I join mum and dad in the kitchen. I am so hungry, I could eat anything right now!

 “I’ve made pancakes honey” she serves the dish with pancakes in front of me and it takes me less than five minutes to finish it.

 “It was delicious” I compliment her and place my dish in the dishwasher. Mum thanks me and I grab my bag. “Let’s get going”. I walk towards the door, mum follows me and we both enter the car.

 “Hey listen babe, I want you to smile as wide as you can, do not look sad" mum giving me  advises in order to take a good photo. I’m taking millions of photos with friends, with my boyfriend, with my guy best friend, and of course alone, why would it change now!

 “Ok mum, but you are acting like I don’t know how to take a photo.”

 “You usually look empty in pictures so your smile could easily make things better”. Yup, she started being annoying. I turn my face to look out of the window and just wait till we reach school. “Did you even wash your teeth this morning?”

 “Oh mum please, of course I did.” I grumble still looking out of the window.

 “Okay, but remember that.. Oh My God!” mum yells and I turn immediately just to see a huge truck coming towards us without stopping.

 “Put the breaks on mum!” I yell terrified. My breath is fast and my heart won’t stop beating as fast as it is beating right now. I admit it, I am scared as fuck. Mum tries to avoid the truck by putting the breaks on and turning the wheel around, and as she's doing this, she crushed with a building on our right side of the road.

 The noise of the crash won’t ever leave my mind, and I will forever hate it. I lost my mother in that accident, and so I was left alone.
