Nattilys perspective

As his white mini van turned out of sight a rush of happiness washed over her. And my thoughts were now talking to me. "What if he is just playing me? What if this is a trap? Does he like me back the way I like him? He cant like me he is popular and well, im not." My thoughts were now taking over my mind, or that was at least until my mom tapped my shoulder shaking me from my trance. Blinking a few times and shaking my head I looked at her realizing she was talking to me. Her eyes became stern and it was like no sound could enter my head or ears. And she looked at me one last time then at my dad then they walked away, my dad leading by only a few paces to the kitchen. A few seconds later my mom returned with a glass of water in her hand and looked at me once more before dumping the ice cold water on my head. I gasped as I heard her say "Nattily can you hear me now, I think your in shock." I lifted my head wipeing my face off and speaking "Yes mom I can hear you now I dont know what just happened. But yeah I guess it could be shock." My mom steps close to me forgetting I was wet and hugs me saying " Yeah!.. Your crush actually asked you to the dance!! Go change out of you wet cloths and lets go shopping. And Ummm sorry for dumping water on you." I look at her and shrug it off and start to run upstairs. I come close to the top when I trip over a toy. I look down to see my cat Mittenss old toy which she played with a lot. I bend down and grab it only to feel a tear drop and splash against it. I wipe it off remembering all the fun times we had together, the times I spent talking to her and the times I spent loving her. I walk to my room now tearing up still holding the toy in my right hand and sit down on the foot of my bed. I take out a notebook and pen and start to write my feelings down. How I felt, what I was thinking and who I was thinking about. And this is what I wrote from my heart to my hand.
"The day I lost you was the worst day of my life. I came home from school and you didn't come and say "hello welcome home I missed you". I miss our conversations we had, the secrets I shared with you because I knew you wouldn't tell anyone else. I love how when I was sick you would always come and try to make me smile and feel better and you would always be there for me when I was sad and down. You were my first cat, you were my first pet, you were the one I didn't expect to leave me that early. I know I never got to say good bye to you and to hug you tightly knowing I would loose you that day but the last memory I have of you is you playing with a mitten that I would always play with you with, and you were prrring and we were having a good time until I had to go to the bus. But little did I know that would be the last time I heard you prrr and the last time I would see that sparkle in your eyes. Mittens I love you and will always miss you no matter how old I become and how stupid I may be, I will always care for you and love you to the moon and back."
Now the tears were coming and splashing against the paper, as I was trying to force them from coming and not hit the paper. I got up remembering I was suppose to go shopping and put the paper in my drawer of my desk and grabbed a tissue. Dabbing my eyes and blowing my nose still crying a little bit I threw it away and got changed. I opened one drawer with barely any cloths in it so I shut it and open another one. I open the one second from the bottom and grab a pair a of sweat pants then moving on to the next one. I also grab a T-shirt and a sweatshirt remembering how cold it is outside. I throw on my sweatshirt and grab my purse and wallet inside it and jogg out of my door and down stairs, this time checking each step trying not to trip and fall.
